Use Your Common Sense Day - The term common sense is two-fold. To have common sense, one must conform to the norms, beliefs or ideas that a certain group of people maintain. In turn, because of this large consensus, these ideas are normalized and become like gut reactions to people. As complex as it may sound, common sense is quite simple to understand and it is part of a process we have with ourselves when making a decision. Like if you knew if you were planning on spending the day at the beach, it’d be common sense to bring a hat and sunscreen. Or if you were going on a hike you wouldn’t wear flip flops or sandals. Well, unfortunately, this is one situation where my common sense went out the window because I did wear flip flops on a hike once and my feet paid for it! So today on Use Your Common Sense Day, use common sense in everything you do and you won’t have to worry about making the wrong move. So if you want to know how not to pay full price, it would only be common sense to check out Brookstone.

King Tut Day - I’m sure you remember studying and learning about Egypt’s youngest king, Tutankhamun, in Egyptian history studies. If you don’t or forgot (because face it, your memory isn’t quite as sharp as it used to be), I’ll give you a bit of a refresher. King Tut became king of Egypt at the young age of 9, and his rule lasted till he was 19 when he died. Although the world is unsure of how he died, King Tut became a legend, and on November 4th, 1922, his tomb was found intact. Now if you’re still lost, go take a look at the popular icon for Egypt and everything will come back to you. Yes, that black and gold Egyptian head you see in virtually all Egyptian studies is really the mask of Tutankhamun’s mummy. Cool, huh? Well, if you’re anything like me and love Egyptian history or history in general, then today is your day to celebrate learning more about it! For a more hands-on (and cooler) approach, why not check out Viator and visit ancient cities and historical places that you enjoy reading about?
