Whatever Wednesday: Weird Holidays



Hello Posse!


If you look up weird holidays online you can find lists of crazy things people celebrate every single day of the year. In fact, there are almost always more than one holiday listed for every single day of the calendar year.


Now, there are the ones that pretty much everyone in the modern world knows such as Christmas, New Year, Chinese New Year, Thanksgiving in the US and in Canada, but the ones I really love finding are the obscure holidays like the one that falls on my birthday, September 19th, also known as Talk Like a Pirate Day.


If you follow me on Facebook (which you definitely should do), I am sure you have seen my posts asking for you to share photos of your dog on Mutt Day, or to share your favorite recipe on Hot Chocolate Day. While I doubt there is a hoard of people out in the world who take these obscure holidays seriously, I have to admit they are just plain fun, and who couldn't use more of that in their life?


With today's holiday, I can celebrate an obscure holiday and give a shout out to another small business owner (and a friend) in the process. Today happens to be National Winter Skin Relief Day.


I know when the weather starts to turn cold every year, my hands start to look like they belong to the Crypt Keeper, so this holiday is one that makes perfect sense to me. What better way to celebrate this national day than to find great natural products that are good for your skin?


The first place I think of for those kinds of products is Wise Oak Soapery LLC. This family owned business was started by a mother, Kara Vogt, who couldn't find good, healthy products that worked well for her own family's needs. After some research, she started creating them herself and eventually turned her passion into a business.


If you want to pamper yourself and find a great way to celebrate National Winter Skin Relief Day, I highly recommend checking out Wise Oak Soapery LLC's website and follow them on Facebook. Just click on their name and go. You will not regret it!


Have a great day!

Stephen
