Daily Holidays - November 14

National Spicy Guacamole Day Why not celebrate Spicy Guacamole Day by giving your usual guacamole recipe an authentic Mexican kick? Avocados are not only delicious; they are also a very healthy food. Their succulent, creamy-white flesh is high in nutrients and has zero cholesterols. Avocados are perfect when they are just soft to the touch, so can be bought and stored a few days before you need them. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/spicy-guacamole-day/

Loosen Up, Lighten Up Day Loosen Up, Lighten Up Day encourages you to do what it says on the tin – take things a little slower, de-stress and unwind. We’re all busy, but it’s easy to get caught up into a spiral of stress and angst; take a mental step back, loosen up, lighten up, and find some balance. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/loosen-up-lighten-up-day/

National Pickle Day It’s Pickle Day, everyone! Did you forget? Oh, then you must think you’re in a right pickle, but don’t worry. Be as cool as a cucumber, because there’s still time to munch on some pickles, yet. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/pickle-day/

Operating Room Nurse Day While the surgeon may be the star of the operating theatre, without the work of a team of skilled and reliable operating room nurses vital surgical procedures could not take place. These hard-working professionals are responsible for all aspects of patient care during a medical operation, including welcoming, assessing and prepping patients, handling medical equipment, helping with procedures and maintaining a sterile environment. It is one of the most demanding nursing jobs, as more complicated operations are known to go on for many hours on end and nurses need to maintain focus and work constantly for long periods without a break. That’s why it can be easily agreed that these lifesavers definitely deserve their own day—just one day of every year, when people can stop and think about just how much they owe the operating room nurses who helped make their operations successful. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/operating-room-nurse-day/
