Nuff’ With No Shave November, People. Here’s What You Can Say NO To Every Month

Yes! It is November and guys are too busy being bropunzels during their Movember stride, flaunting their mustachioed/bearded selfies. I get it, ok. It upgrades the social quotient and makes y’all look hawt/cool. But has it ever crossed your mind, what are the things we can say no to every month, other than no shave? Here’s my year-round list of things that I’d like to say NO to every month. You can, too, if you want.

1. No Work January

Oh, c’mon. It is the first month of the year and amid all the festivities, I think no one, whosoever, wishes to get back to their work life. Amirite? #JustGonnaStandThereAndDoNoWork

 

2. No Love February

Otherwise celebrated as the month of love, why not try something new? Why not say no to love? Give all the mush a break. Like there aren’t enough days or weeks or months in a year to declare your love for your boo?

 

3. No Tax March

Now, I speak collectively. Wouldn’t it be nice to just not be caught up in all the tax-fuss at the end of the financial year? Plus, it hurts when a large chunk of that hard-earned money is deducted.

 

4. No Comb April

It might be a tad bit difficult for the ladies with beautiful, long tresses. Agreed. But I’ma tell you it would be great if for a month we don’t have to worry about how messy our hair looks or what are the new hairstyles we oughta try.

 

5. No Pay May

Let May be the month where you say no to bills and other expenses. Of course, next month would be quite heavy on your pocket. Yet, the blissful thought of not spending a penny on those expenses for a month is quite enticing. Haina?

 

6. No Social Media June

Staying connected via social media is something we all want to do. But how about disconnecting from it for a bit and connecting with people in person, actually. Or maybe taking that vacay you always wanted to, sans the social media interference. Food for thought?

 

7. No Make-up July

Go au naturale, ladies. Ditch the make-up and be comfortable in your own skin. Stop hiding behind those smokey eyes, fake eyelashes and layers of concealer. Step out without it.

 

8. No Drink August

All ya occasional drinkers and the regular ones, too, how about spending a whole month without a drop of alcohol? Anyhoo, the party season would be commencing soon, so giving your liver a month’s rest is the least you could do.

 

9. No Wake September

In Billie Joe Armstrong’s words, ‘wake me up when September ends’ sounds like a pretty good idea to me. How about a 30-day hibernation? The idea of a month to catch all the missed sleep hours is quite something. What say?

 

10. No Bra October

Now, if you are thinking about going braless and breaking some stereotypes, you may as well do it in the month of October. Reason being that it is the Breast Cancer Awareness month. Drop ’em straps, will ya!?

 

11. No Shave November

You already know this one. But just an addition, not only men but women, too, should adopt a month-long no shave policy.

 

12. No Treat December

This one month, last one in the year, plays a major role in burning a hole in one’s pocket. If Christmases and New Years aren’t costly enough, December-born babies have to bear an extra kharcha in their birthday month. *Life’s unfair*

So what are you saying No to?
