World Vegan Day- 1 November

World Vegan Day is an event celebrated every year on November 1 by vegans around the world. The day was created in 1994 by Louise Ellis, then President and Chairman of the Vegan Society of Britain, to celebrate 50 years of existence, and also 70 years for the existence of the term "veganism".
Every day, more and more people around the world become vegans for reasons of morality, environment, health or all the reasons together.

On this day there are festivals and exhibitions around the world organized by vegans. There are also events such as vegan food stands, lectures and demonstrations.

Veganism is a term coined by Donald Watson in 1951. The reason for choosing naturalism is the ideology of protecting the rights of animals to live a good life without suffering and preserving the environment.

Veganism is a lifestyle of avoiding consumption of products that come from animals:
Avoiding food from the animal world: meat, eggs, milk and bees honey.

Avoiding the use of products made of animal skins (including fur, wool and feathers) for clothing, footwear, textiles and furniture. Avoiding the use of products whose manufacturing process caused animal suffering like silk threads. Many of the vegans also object to the exploitation of animals for other purposes (such as transportation, circus entertainment) that directly or indirectly cause damage and even suffering to live and use products that have been tested on animals and caused them great harm.

Unfortunately, there is almost no product category in the world whose manufacturing process has not caused animal suffering, and it is difficult to find products that will be clean from it.

How to celebrate World Vegan Day?
Open your ears and heart and listen, learn about the subject without fear.
Listen to one of the most famouse lecture in the world: Best Speech You Will Ever Hear - Gary Yourofsky:
  
Go to a vegan restaurant.
Go to a vegan event
Make a clean day, a day when you will not eat animals: no meat, no milk, no fish and no eggs.
Wear a Go Vegan shirt.
Go Vegan.

Day of telling the truth- 7 July

What happen if one day a year, we all tell the truth to each other? What would happen if there was a day when cheating and lying were forbidden? It turns out that there is a day like this, and it takes place on July 7 each year. On July 7 they tell each other the truth in their faces. It is today to discover that things are different from what you thought and what they told you. It's the day to tell people what you really think about, tell your buyers the truth about the product you sell, come out of the closet, tell your partner that you love or want to leave, tell the real reason for your delay and say the truth instead of the lie you are used to Invent.
If we admit it, we all lie on a daily basis and the day we tell the truth can complicate things, but the truth is our best friend. To tell the truth is to live like we really are, without masks and no plays. Although there is a price to pay, but in the end we are the ones who live with ourselves all of life, so isn't it better to live the way we really are?
Why the day of telling the truth takes place on July 7?
The reason for this is that on July 7, 1881, the first chapter of Pinocchio, one of the most famous liars in literature, was published by the writer Carlo Collodi (whose real name was Carlo Lorenzini). Whenever Pinocchio was lying, his nose would lengthen.

Techis Day- 3 October

Today is the day of recognition for all the people who work and are working on the high-tech technology that leads the world to progress and turn it into a global village where everyone can communicate with everyone, no matter how far apart, and everyone can know everything about everyone.
This day was founded in 1999 by the Techis.com website with the support of the CNET network, who wanted to express their appreciation to all students and employees in the high-tech and hi-tech fields and to encourage high school students to choose technology studies. Things that were once so difficult and slow, like sending messages to each other, or taking pictures, or watching movies and reading books, are fast and easy today thanks to high tech.
Hi-tech also supports the army, both in terms of weapons and defense and intelligence.
Some people envy high-tech people who have high salaries and good conditions, and seemingly they only sit all day in the office and do not make an effort, but people who work in high-tech need to mobilize all their thinking and concentration, and work hard for hours to achieve results that allow us easy and comfortable lives More.
To celebrate High Tech Day, you can simply send an e-mail thanks and appreciation to someone who deals with high-tech, and remind him that without people like him, the world would go back to the days of letters that were lost in the mail, the days of paper maps you had to read yourself Send to the store development and takes a few days to develop, later without internet and more ...

It's fun to be single day- 11 February

It's Fun to be single day is a day of hitting before getting hit by Valentine's Day, which comes three days later, on February 14. 
Unlike Valentine's Day, which is a commercial and sticky holiday, full of Teddy bears and chocolates in the shape of a heart, the fun to be single day is a calm day, the day where you can do whatever you want, enjoy the things you love to do alone and not to get stressed out because you have no spouse. It's a day to go out without looking around you and observe if the other potential half of yours is there, just relax and enjoy being alone with yourself!

Cutting wedding expenses - how to make cheap wedding?

In these hard times, when most of us have to cut expenses, make wedding is not easy.
A wedding is an expensive business. But if you are realistic people with feet on the ground and head on your shoulders, you must realize that what is important is that the days after the wedding, and to not go into debt because of a luxury wedding and even succeed in saving for a rainy day (which can really help you in your marriage) you should spend less money on the wedding.
We highly recommend that you leave the pose and throw the need to impress people by grand wedding to trash.
Eventually, people barely remember the weddings they were in, so why spend so much money on it?

Here are some tips to help you save money wedding:

Save money on the wedding dress and groom suit -
You do not have to go buy the bride and groom wear at fancy salons that require thousands of dollars for one night. In ebay, for example, you can buy chep customized dresses and suits from sellers who are answering any of your questions and helping you with the measurements.


Send invitations on postcards instead of letters -
Sending postcard is significantly cheaper than shipping letters. Instead of printing invitations, put them in envelopes, affix a stamp and send, just send postcards.

Do the wedding in weak season-
Season when getting married cost less is winter. In winter there is not much demand for weddings so the prices of the dishes are lower. It's not fun to get married when it's cold and it's not fun to spend your wedding day in the rain, but it's kind of romantic, isn't it?

Makeup by yourself-
Why take someone to make you up and pay her hundreds of dollars so she smear your face with a thick layer of makeup and make you look like pale porcelain statue in the important evening of your life?
Why pay hundreds of dollars on makeup that falls early evening after a glass of wine? If you know makeup yourself or have a friend or relative who knows how to ashes, take them. Don't be afraid.
No one will know the difference except your bank account that will thank you for saving hundreds of dollars.

Buy white regular shoes, not bridal shoes -
Bridal shoes cost hundreds, if not thousands dollars just because their name. So instead of buying bridal shoes in special bridal shoe store, buy your shoes in a regular store.

Hire cheap photographer and d.j -
You don't have to hire the best photographers and well-known DJs that are also the most expensive.
You can find good starting DJs and photographers that offer thir service for lower price.
Just before you set with the photographer and D.J., make an appointment with them, looked at their portfolio and check if they are reliable and high quality.
Another recommendation: in the period before the wedding, start checking at weddings you're visiting if there are photographers and d.j's that you like and take business cards. In this way you can also do a market research and know what you are buying beforehand.

In summary, the wedding is indeed a very important event in life but is also an event that can make you heavy expenses and big hole in your pocket that later will be hard to fill it. So don't fall into the trap that many fall into, don't do expensive and flashy event just so everyone will be impressed.
Remember that even a modest wedding can make a good impression and be pleasant and enjoyable for all participants.
