How to celebrate Jul 13th

Feeling a bit geeky today? Start the day off by binge-watching your favorite science fiction series or diving into a fantasy novel. Embrace Your Geekness Day is the perfect excuse to let your inner nerd shine. Build a fort out of blankets and pillows, grab some snacks, and enjoy a movie marathon of all those cult classics you love.

For International Rock Day, why not create your own rock concert at home? Pick up a cheap air guitar and rock out to your favorite tunes. If you have a musical instrument lying around, now’s the time to dust it off and learn a new song. And if you’re feeling adventurous, go on a hike and collect some cool rocks to add to your collection.

National Barbershop Music Appreciation Day is a great opportunity to harmonize with friends or family. Host a virtual karaoke session and belt out some classic barbershop tunes. If you’re feeling creative, why not try your hand at writing your own barbershop-style song? And don’t forget to support local barbershops by sharing your favorite memories or experiences online.

Beef Tallow Day calls for some delicious comfort food. Whip up a batch of homemade French fries cooked in beef tallow for that authentic taste. If you’re up for a challenge, try making your own beef tallow candles or soap. And why not explore the history and uses of beef tallow in cooking and skincare?

So there you have it: a day filled with geekiness, rock music, barbershop harmonies, and beef tallow delights. Embrace your quirks, rock out with friends, sing your heart out, and indulge in some tasty treats. Who knew such a motley crew of holidays could lead to such a fun and fulfilling day?
