🍫🥛National Chocolate Milk Day! Invented by Hans Sloane in the late 1680s, today chocolate milk can be purchased premixed or it can be made at home with either cocoa powder and a sweetener or with melted chocolate, chocolate syrup or chocolate milk mix. While Sloane was in Jamaica, he encountered a beverage the locals drank made with cocoa mixed with water. After trying it, he reported the flavor to be nauseating. After some experimentation, Sloane found a way to mix the cocoa with milk to make it more pleasant tasting. He brought the chocolate recipe back with him upon his return to England.

🍖🥔National Corned Beef Hash Day! Making corned beef hash is a great way to use up leftovers. Corned beef hash became popular during and after World War II as rationing limited the availability of fresh meat. The Hormel Company claims it introduced corned beef hash and roast beef hash to the United States as early as 1950. However, “hash” of many forms has been part of the American diet since at least the 19th century, as is attested to by the availability of numerous recipes and the existence of many “hash houses” named after the dish.

🎗National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NGMHAAD)! This is a day designed to build awareness and increase education about this disease and help find ways to eliminate it. In 2008, the National Association of People with AIDS (NAPWA) launched this observance day to recognize the disproportionate impact of the epidemic on gay men.

👒National Scarf Day recognizes the power of the scarf. Whatever your style, a scarf is the best way to express yourself, make a statement or update your look. Let a scarf inspire your style on National Scarf Day. Echo New York founded National Scarf Day on September 27, 2018. While scarves have been around since ancient times for purposes ranging from cleanliness to religion to warmth, we at Echo like to believe we are responsible for bringing the scarf to the world of fashion.

🎗National BRAVE Day honors women who lift each other up, rescue each other and make each other BRAVE. Despite varied experiences and backgrounds, women come together across generations to support each other. Whether it’s a momentary reprieve over a cup of coffee during a hectic day or a well-written letter of recommendation for a job, these small tokens strengthen a woman who may have undergone unspoken tragedy or struggles. The opportunities to empower sisters, friends, family, even a stranger are limitless. On National BRAVE Day, the goal is to seek out tangible ways to encourage women to keep moving forward and to be BRAVE. National BRAVE Day was founded by Sweetlife women in honor of their founder, Kaci Stewart, who has been the catalyst to making a difference in women’s lives. By honoring their founder, Sweetlife Women hopes the founding of National BRAVE Day will be a spark of encouragement to women and a reminder to strengthen one another. Sweetlife Women has been in existence for ten years, and they look for ways to make women BRAVE and give help and guidance where needed. Their annual BRAVE Women’s Conference is every September.
