Movember

November is a month full of social events. Halloween, Guy Fawkes... Now it's time to speak about Movember, an annual, month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues. 

The Movember Foundation (one of the top 100 NGOs) in the world runs the Movember charity event, housed at www.movember.com. The goal of Movember is to "change the face of men's health."

Below you can see a hilarious video, starring the American actor, writer, and carpenter Nick Offerman, who teaches us how to grow a mustache properly. 

For our part, we'd like to support this charity event by remembering some of the most amusing and curious mustaches. 

By the way, do you know what Beardecember means? It's the sequel to 'Movember' that already exists: grow a beard in december.

Remember remember the 5th of November

Tomorrow is 5th of November, the famous Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Firework Night. It is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in Great Britain. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure.

Do you remember The Hurlingham Club, where we took the lifestyle photos? Well, last Saturday there was a fireworks display that we enjoyed very much. Below you can see some photos:

You can enjoy the firework displays that will take place during the whole week in London. If you are in the north you can join the Fortismere School Fireworks Night. If you are in South London you can join Wimbledon Park Fireworks, Southwark Park Fireworks, Crystal Palace Park Fireworks and Brockwell Park Fireworks.  If you are en East London you can join the Barking Park Fireworks and Waltham Forest Fireworks. And, if you are in west London, you can join Brent Fireworks Display. 

There is an interesting film about the topic that we recommend. Starring by Natalie Portman, the film is called V for Vendetta.
