Beards, mustaches, and other styles of facial hair have long been used as a means of disguise. Hair can easily be dyed, re-shaped, grown out, or shaved off and you don’t need to be a professional to switch it up. Either which way has the ability to drastically alter a person’s appearance in a relatively short amount of time.
In fact, facial hair transformation has always been one of the go-to tools for many criminals throughout history on the run. It’s an unspoken rule that when you’re trying to evade capture and recognition, you adopt a different appearance! While being on the lam is one reason to shave or not to shave, there’s also many additional reasons for choosing to do so.
For one young father in San Antonio, Texas, his reasons for shaving his beard were not criminally related. Rather, he decided to make the big change because he had an upcoming job interview and thought it was best that he appeared clean shaven. However, before he got rid of his impressive beard, he decided to see how his 7-month daughter would react.
Footage of the two playing peekaboo before he shaved shows the adorable little girl, Anistyn Claire, laughing and smiling at her dad who’s hiding his face behind a fuzzy brown blanket. The clip then skips to them playing the same peekaboo game after he shaved, but her has yet to reveal his full face to Anistyn Claire.
When he finally drops the blanket and his baby girl catches her first glimpse of his bare, hair-free face, she doesn’t know what to do or how to feel about it! Shaving changed his appearance so much that she seems to not even recognize him anymore and the expressions that cross her face range from confused to scared. Soon after, she falls forward, drops her head, and tries her best to avoid eye contact with her dad who’s suddenly become a stranger to her!
Dad tries his best to comfort and reassure his baby girl that it’s okay, but it proves to be a little too much for poor Anistyn Claire and she starts to cry. Her reaction is adorable and she’ll grow accustomed to her father’s new appearance in no time at all. Dad will also get used to it, but it may take him a little longer than his baby. In the background you can hear his wife commenting that “daddy probably wants to cry about it too!” The poor guy just can’t catch a break with the two leading ladies in his life, check it out and enjoy!

There are literally billions of different ways to carve a pumpkin and there are endless ideas, possibilities, and directions you can head in. That’s part of the whole reason why the annual fall tradition is so fun, everyone loves doing something they really can’t mess up. Even if your jack-o’-lantern carve job turns out ugly or not what you originally had in mind, it doesn’t matter! No one will ever know the difference and the point is that you tried something new and had a good time doing it.
Halloween season is a time for eating too much candy, dressing up in cool costumes, and making memories that will last a lifetime. It’s the one time of year where people can really let loose and party like it’s going out of style! Lots of Halloween events go all out with crazy decorations, themed food, creepy lighting, and other special effects which all serve to increase the spook factor.
However, you don’t need to be an evil genius or spend a small fortune in order to throw an awesome Halloween party. All you really need are a few of these pumpkin disco lights! They are the perfect centerpieces that will draw in people’s attention and get them shaking their booties on the dance floor. The best thing about these disco lights is that they’re cheap, safe, and recyclable. In the video DaveHax shows you exactly how to replicate the idea and here’s step by step instructions as well on how to make them:
1. Cut a hole in the top of a pumpkin and hollow it out.
2. Take a screwdriver or any other similar type of instrument, like a drill, and use it to poke holes all around the pumpkin and top.
3. Insert either a shoelace or a sturdy length of cord/string through one of the holes and knot the inner end so that it doesn’t pull through.
4. Take the other end and bring it around to the opposite side, insert it through a hole as before, and knot it on the inside so that you end up with a secure sort of handle. To make it extra sturdy, repeat this with a second length of string and crisscross it with the first.
5. Using another piece of strong cord, tie the handles together on one end and attach it to a ceiling hook on the other. Double check all knots to make sure it’s secure and won’t fall on anyone’s head!
6. Place a really bright flashlight with a strobe effect setting in the pumpkin and replace the lid. DaveHax included a link for the one used in his video in case you can’t find one.
7. Give your awesome new pumpkin disco light a good spin and party on!
This may be the easiest Halloween trick and all you need is a pumpkin, some rope, and a flashlight! These look awesome in the front yard hanging from trees and because a flashlight is used, there’s no fire risk. Try it out this fall and please pass this on to family and friends for their benefit!

If You Wash Your Raw Chicken Before You Put It In The Oven, You Need To Stop Right Now
image via – youtube.com
After opening a fresh package of raw chicken, do you rinse it off in the kitchen sink before cooking it? If you answered yes and this practice describes you, you’re not alone. Many people do exactly that because they either want to clean off the sliminess, or they picked up the habit from watching their mom cook. In fact, if you don’t wash raw chicken before cooking it then you’re in the minority. According to Jennifer Quinlan, a researcher at Drexel University, around 90% of the people she surveyed say that they too wash their chicken before cooking it. With numbers that high, you’ll definitely want to read on about why everyone should STOP doing it immediately!
To begin with, washing raw chicken is not necessary in the first place. Cooking it to the correct temperature should be enough to kill any and all of the harmful bacteria on it. The U.S. Department of Health foodsafety.gov website states that chicken and all other types of poultry, which includes turkey, duck, and goose, should reach an internal minimum temperature of 165 degrees. By simply making sure your chicken dinner is well done, you’ll avoid contracting food poisoning.
As it turns out, the only thing that washing raw chicken does is drastically increase the chances of spreading bacteria and microbes all around the kitchen area. When running water hits raw poultry it splatters and this causes it to aerosolize, which is to say that it forms tiny, mist-like particles. These ultra fine droplets can travel far in the air and they end up spreading invisible germs all over the place when they finally settle.
Nasty types of harmful bacteria such as salmonella, staphylococcus aureus, and campylobacter jejuni are now not only in your sink, they’re also on counter tops, cabinets and handles, other foods you’re preparing/eating, kitchen towels, you, and everywhere else! If you end up ingesting these bacteria you run the risk of becoming seriously ill. If you’ve ever had the misfortune of suffering through a bout of severe food poisoning, then you know how much of a painful nightmare it can be.
If that’s not enough to convince you to stop washing raw chicken, not much else will! Doing so helps to limit the spread of harmful bacteria and microbes, which in turn limits your risk of contracting severe illness and food poisoning. It’s also one less step for you to do because only by cooking poultry to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit is it enough to kill bacteria. Please pass this important information along to friends and family and help spread the word, not the bacteria!

Kitty Sees Donald Trump On TV Apologizing. Then Proceeds To Throw a Hysterical Fit.

Reading feline behavior can be quite tricky. Cat owners everywhere know how strange their fur babies can be and at times it’s really hard to decode their mysterious ways. However, there are also moments of lucidity and this cat is displaying clearness of thought and action!
His name is Hamlet the cat and there’s no doubt about it, he clearly dislikes Donald Trump. When Mr. Trump’s face appeared on Fox TV recently to apologize for his lewd remarks about women, Hamlet decided to use it as a scratch post! Something about it just set him off and the whole entire twenty one second video is him going to town on the laptop screen.
According to Hamlet’s owner, Susan Scoblink-O-Neill, her rescue kitty “loves the computer and is very interactive. He usually scratches the screen when there are bird or fish videos playing.” Even so, she added that “he hadn’t been doing that as much lately” until this Trump episode occurred. It turns out that Trump strikes a dissonant chord in not only people, but animals too.
Naturally, there are a range of remarks that such a cat video like this one has elicited in light of Trump’s own “pussy” related comments. His apology may have restored his supporter’s confidence in him, but this ginger kitty isn’t so ready and willing to turn a blind eye to the crude, offensive behavior. Hamlet is the latest in a series of cats who all appear to clearly feel the same way about the presidential candidate; they just don’t like him.

Teal Pumpkins Are Showing Up Everywhere This Year, Here’s The Meaning If You See One On Halloween.
image via – rumble.com
Halloween is a fun and exciting time for young children. There’s not much else they love more than dressing up and going out trick-or-treating on Halloween night. However, for many parents and adults out there, it can be a very stressful undertaking. If their child has food allergies then many of the most popular and common sweet treats that get handed out on Halloween are off limits to them.
Candy that may potentially contain harmful, or in some cases even fatal, ingredients are what parents and children with food allergies have to be on the look out for and avoid. For people who are intolerant or allergic to milk, that means no chocolate. In addition, many types of candy contains eggs, wheat, soy, tree nuts, and other ingredients, which can trigger a person’s allergies or medical condition. Peanuts and tree nuts in particular are what many children are extremely allergic to.
While parent’s should always inspect the candy their kids collect on Halloween for tampering, those with children who have food allergies must be extra vigilant to ensure nothing potentially harmful gets past them. This means giving up on a lot of candy for those kids with allergies and nothing kills the Halloween spirit faster than missing out on tempting tasty treats.
In fact, it’s best to not even risk exposing a child with food allergies to the candy that’s off limits to them in the first place. That was one of the main goals that the Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) organization had in mind when they fist launched the Teal Pumpkin Project just a couple of years ago in 2014. Another primary aim they had was to increase public awareness of common food allergies so as to make sure that children with those allergies are also included in the Halloween celebrations, especially trick or treating!
In order to do that, they started the Teal Pumpkin Project which encourages people handing out candy on Halloween to also offer non-food items to children. It can be anything that a small child would enjoy and inexpensive items like stickers, packets of crayons or Play-Doh, erasers, glow sticks, small toys, novelty items, and more work perfectly.
Once you have these types of alternative items to give out, then you need to be able to alert parents and children of that fact. That’s where the whole teal pumpkin aspect comes into play! Place a teal painted pumpkin outside on your steps, porch, or wherever, to instantly show and tell parents that you can provide their children with safe, non-food goodies.
Taking part in the teal pumpkin movement will help make all those children feel like they aren’t missing out on anything, plus it eases their worried parent’s minds! One important thing to note is that you should keep the non-food items in their own separate bowl away from the candy, this will lessen the potential for cross contamination. Also, make sure to place your teal pumpkin in a highly visible spot so that everyone can see it and not miss out. Check out the accompanying video for more information on the Teal Pumpkin Project and visit the FARE groups website or Facebook page.
Please spread the word and help to raise awareness about the Teal Pumpkin Project by sharing this information with your friends, family, and loved ones. Come this Halloween the more teal pumpkins, the better!
Tricks for making your own teal pumpkin:
If you choose to paint a regular pumpkin, start by painting it white first and then do a few coats of teal. This helps to ensure that the teal color really shows up.
Another option is to purchase a fake pumpkin at a craft store. They usually have white unadorned pumpkins available to decorate so painting one teal is easy and you can use it year after year.
If you only have white paint on hand you can make teal by mixing it with a few drops of blue and green food coloring. Experiment to adjust the amounts until you achieve a bright teal color.

Infant Passes Out. The Puppy Proceeds To Do The Most Adorable Thing To His New Baby Brother.
image via – youtube.com
In this world there are certain individuals and animals who are meant to be in each others lives. Oftentimes it almost seems as if fate steps in and brings them together, and that appears to be the case for the adorable pair of youngsters in this clip.
The sleepy puppy’s name is Callie and according to her owners, she is one of the sweetest and most gentle dogs that they’ve ever had. Back in 2012 they found her outside their house. The poor girl had been abandoned and was tied up to their fence, left all alone on her own at just three-months old. From the moment they untied her and took her in they knew she was special and would fit right in with their own growing family.
At the time, Callie’s new parents also had a three month old son at home and as you can see, they became fast friends! In fact, they’re best friends and Callie hates leaving his side. This clip is from when she was still a tiny little puppy and even back then she watched over him while he slept peacefully.
However, puppies need just as much rest as newborns and Callie was struggling to stay awake. She looks like she’s about to doze off several times while trying to get comfortable and looking for a spot. It’s only when she finally cuddles up to her brother and protectively places her tiny head on top of his that she’s able to fully relax and fall asleep.
Everything about this video makes it easily one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen.
Sleepy baby? Check.
Sweet puppy? Check.

Woman Gets Her Parking Spot Stolen. Then, She Proceeds To Get An Epic Revenge.
image via – youtube.com
Parking can be a hot commodity, especially when it’s in scarce supply. When you finally manage to find a spot after circling around the lot or block who knows how many times, it brings you an instant sense of relief and happiness. However, that sudden joy can easily turn into anger and frustration → at this point it’s best you refer to the accompanying video!
If you’ve ever had some jerk swoop in at the last possible second to steal your parking spot, then you know exactly how annoyed and ticked off this woman must have felt. Not only did the other driver take the spot she was clearly backing into, they also parked horribly and way far off to one side. But the driver of the red car doesn’t do what everyone thinks she’s going to do, and smash right into the white car.
Instead of allowing her anger get the best of her, she makes the smart decision to channel it into exacting instant revenge on the offending driver. That’s why she continues backing into her spot, all the while making sure to park as close as she possibly can to the white car, effectively trapping them both in their respective vehicles.
Whereas the person in the white car cannot open any doors on either side, the woman in the red car has a winning trump card up her sleeve. She simply presses a button to drop the top on her convertible, hops into the back seat, and out over the trunk!
At this point all the other driver can do is watch her leave and admit defeat. If they want to get out of the car, they’re going to have to move.

If You Can’t Fall Asleep At Night, Put These 6 Plants In Your Bedroom For Instant Relief
image via – shutterstock.com
If you have trouble getting a good nights sleep, you’re not alone. Each year an estimated 60 million Americans suffer from insomnia alone according to a widely circulated NPR report. That number doesn’t even touch on all of the many other possible sleep disorders out there that people may also have.
While the majority of us turn to sleeping pills, melatonin, sound and aromatherapy machines, eye masks, and various other methods in vain attempts to get some much needed shut eye, there may be an easier way. Simply placing several different types of plants around your bedroom can actually help to calm and relax both your body and mind when your head hits the pillow at night. It may not be the answer to all your sleep problems, but it will definitely make a positive, noticeable difference in your overall health.
That’s because having a few plants around your house helps to clean and purify the air inside and breathing in cleaner, fresher air can do wonders for our mind and body. With less toxins floating around in the air, we’re able to breathe in cleaner oxygen, which in turn reduces our chances of becoming sick or ill. It also makes us healthier by boosting our mood, so you stress and worry less at night and can focus on going to bed rather than on all of that stuff.
Here are six plants that can help you get a better nights sleep:
1. Jasmine. Jasmine has a very potent, powerful scent that smells wonderful, as well as natural qualities which make it an effective sleeping aid. According to a study done by Wheeling Jesuit University, jasmine acts to improve sleep while boosting your mood and decreasing anxiety. But this is nothing new, people have turned to the plant in order to help with sleep/anxiety issues for thousands of years.
2. Lavender. Lavender is another pleasant smelling plant which people have used since ancient times to reduce anxiety and stress problems. Its scent is what aids sleep because of the calming effects and soothing properties that it contains. Studies have found that breathing in both lavender essential oil and the fragrance from the plant is effective at helping to treat insomnia and anxiety.
3. Snake Plant. Don’t let the name turn you off, snake plants are extremely hardy and low maintenance. They are excellent mini air filters and come alive at night, when they release higher amounts of oxygen than what they produce during daytime hours. More oxygen equals better air quality which results in cleaner breathing and improved sleep.
4. Aloe Vera. Aloe is perhaps the most widely available plant on this list. It has long been used for a variety of health related issues and people use the gel found in it to treat everything from cuts, scrapes and burns to constipation and other skin related conditions. Aloe helps you sleep better by releasing high amounts of oxygen throughout the night. It’s another one of nature’s natural air purifiers!
5. English Ivy. English ivy works wonders at absorbing harmful toxins, such as formaldehyde and airborne mold, from the air. According to the Clean Air Study conducted by NASA, it ranks as the top-most effective air filtering and purifying plant. Be sure to keep several in your bedroom for the best results!
6. Red Edged Dracaena. This is the biggest plant on the list so it’s perfect if you have an empty spot in your room that needs filling! Red-edged dracaena also happened to make the NASA air study, where it was found to filter out large amounts of highly common VOCs (volatile organic compounds). VOCs are super toxic to human health and include the nasty chemicals such as formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, and toluene. Cleaner air with less of these chemicals in it means better sleep and health
There are a lot of other great plants that can boost your health and improve your quality of sleep beyond those covered above. The accompanying video goes over several more of them so be sure to check it out and see which ones work best for you!
