I love celebrating Holidays that allow me to pamper my family and with September 7th being World Beard Day #WorldBeardDay I can celebrate David and the beard he has. I was thinking of purchasing a Beard Kit for David and taking David to a Barber Shop to have his #beard trimmed. Would you like to go with us to the Barber Shop because even if you don’t have a beard you can help me support David.
On September 7th we celebrate the ultimate symbol of ruggedness on World Beard Day. Times are changing, but the beard has been more than just a fashion statement. The beard has been considered a sign of manliness since prehistoric times.
The beard represents virtues such including strength, wisdom, and even social status in some cultures. There is something about a beard that demands admiration and respect thus, beards deserves a day of celebration.
