It's my FAVORITE time of year!! Halloween? Yeah, I like Halloween a lot, but I LOVE Movember! Why?? I get to donate to those willing to grow a mustache to raise awareness for Men's Health! I've been an advocate for Movember for 5 years now; a proud Mo Sista! I donate to those willing to grow a mustache for the month of Movember to raise money and awareness to Men's Health. This year, I am the Team Captain for Uber Entertainment - Uberent Gents! If you'd like to see the Uber Entertainment Devs grow a mustache for the whole month of November, you can donate too! Visit our Mo Space here: http://us.movember.com/team/1054377 We'll be posting pictures every week so show off the awesome 'staches our Devs can grow. Who's will grow in first? Who's will not grow at all? Join the team and find out! We've only raised $25 so far, but we're hoping to raise more! And if you'd like to join our team, please do!! We've joined the Gaming Challenge and we're competing against other gaming companies. Let's show them that Uber Entertainment stands out!
This.Is.Going.To.Be.AMAZING! Sadly this is a bad time for me to grow, well, any facial hair. It doesn't really help out with finding a job. Otherwise I combine Movemenber and Novembeard into one and let my face hair go wild. Still it should be great fun seeing the Uber dudes grow a mustache over time. inb4 everyone can't wait to see Brad with a 'stache.
People will wonder. People will stare. These are the perfect opportunities to share why you're doing it! "I'm raising donations for Men's Health." "I'm being sponsored to grow a mustache for charity." "I'm doing it for Movember!"
Folks at work are doing this again this year. Not sure who to support, the people that make my games, or the people that pay for them.
So, even if someone is paying you (or rather the charity) to grow one, you still wouldn't? I mean, the silliness is the whole point!
I live in Germany. No need to raise awareness or stuff. It's part of the default check-ups you should get at a certain age here. For free of course.
Wait, people need a reason to grow a stache? I just wish it grew in more places so I could have more styles to choose from.
Rule 1 about growing a fuller beard: Exfoliant your skin once a week. Removes dead cells and promotes new hair growth.
Wow DeadStretch, look at you and your exfoliating knowledge! Here's some Mo Tips from the Movember website: HOW TO GROW A MO: Ask yourself the question, who do you want to be? For every style of moustache there is a different personality. You will become that man, you will be treated as that man and you will act like that man. It's important you like who he is. Be brave. The first few days, even weeks, can be uncomfortable and a little awkward as your facial goodness grows and your Mo takes shape. Ignore the itching. Remind yourself that other men have endured worse in the past; surely you can stand a little face tickle from your Mo. Start to shape your moustache using proper grooming techniques. A great Mo comes down to grooming. Look after your Mo. Fertilize it, keep it clean and keep it neat. FOODS TO APPROACH WITH CAUTION WHEN SPORTING A MO: Cappuccino Glass of milk Irish Cream Ale, Guinness or any brew served with a fine creamy mousse Caramel Apples Spaghetti Hand-held happy hour foods Corn on the cob Tacos
