February 19: National Lash Day, and National Chocolate Mint Day.

👀National Lash Day is a day to promote the love and need for true and false eyelashes. Eyelashes are a key staple to every makeup look and beauty enthusiast. Lashes have always been known to make your eyes pop and stand out from the crowd. They help keep dirt or substances from entering your eye and aid in preventing infections. Eyelashes also help prevent eye moisture from evaporating. Needless to say, eyelashes are a true necessity for every person at any age. National Lash Day was submitted by House of Lashes. At House of Lashes we believe in an Eco-Chic green environment and pledge to keep our products animal cruelty-free. In this way, we manufacture all of our lash boxes out of recyclable packaging and our lashes are hand-crafted using 100% sterilized premium human hair and cruelty-free synthetic fibers. Our inspirations are derived by remarkably creative and diverse communities and have a passion to serve individuals to make them look and feel beautiful. We strive to become the top pioneering eyelash brand around the globe as we pride ourselves in premium quality products and continue to provide excellent customer service. “HOL” is founded by a beauty and fashion expert who spent four years researching lashes from all over the world narrowing down the top ten most flattering styles for every eye shape. At House of Lashes, we believe lashes make everything better and stand behind the mantra ‘Quality is Queen.’

🍫National Chocolate Mint Day is recognized by the US National Confectioners Association. This holiday has been set aside for all the chocolate mint lovers to eat their favorite treats all day long. The Aztecs and Mayans are given much credit for their ways with chocolate, and while chocolate was brought back to Europeans, they were not fond of the dark, bitter bean, and it was used more for medicinal purposes. As it was mostly consumed as a hot beverage, Europeans mixed mint, cinnamon and other spices to make it more palatable. Over time, sugar was added, and the combination of chocolate and mint became fashionable. Fast forward to the mid-1800s when inventions and improvements in processes made it possible for confectioners to begin mass producing chocolates. Even then, small candy shops served a local public. Advertisements for mint chocolates, or chocolate mints, did not start showing up in newspapers until the turn of the century. 🍁Today we find mint chocolate in everything from ice cream to brownies, cookies and candies, liquors and sauces. 🍁The International Dairy Foods Association states that mint chocolate chip is the 10th most popular flavor of ice cream. 🍁One of the earliest mass-producers of chocolate mints was Huyler’s in New York, which had a chain of stores across the country. Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies were first sold in 1953 and are still their most popular cookie. 🍁Mint chocolate is also the name of an herb with edible leaves that taste like chocolate and mint.

I did not know your eye lashes could aid in preventing infections or help prevent eye moisture from evaporating. Learned something new. I'll pass on mint chocolate.

Lidewey at least yours goes off at night. When we first move into our new home ours wouldn't chirp it would go off while you were in the shower, needless to say we finally figure out it had to be move. That's not fun.
