Have you heard the word Movember floating around media outlets, Facebook (find us HERE) and the blogosphere lately? Are you wondering what the heck a Movember even is? Today we're here to clear that up for you in hopes that you'll become a Movember man. Firstly, check out their site HERE and then watch the short video below for a recap about this charity and what it's all about. And here's a quick snippet:

"Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days."

So what do ya say? Are you ready to rock your charitable Movember moustache pride? Why not check out their events page (HERE) and pop into one of their parties rockin' your stache. It's like Locks of Love for men, ha! Speard the word, find them on Facebook (HERE) and with only 22 days left in Movember, you better get to growin'!

Looking to add a furry friend into your brood and reside in the Chicago area? You only think that dude that you meet for beers on Wednesday night's is your best friend. Nope, these furry little guys are truly 'man's best friend!' They'll listen when you talk, they'll make you laugh when you're down and they'll provide hours of free entertainment, right at home. Plus, it's much easier to strike up a conversation in the dog park when you HAVE a dog and don't just look like some scary dog stalker. Maybe take a minute and check out PAWS. More on their mission, below. 

"Since PAWS Chicago’s founding in 1997, the number of homeless dogs and cats killed annually has dropped more than 50 percent. PAWS Chicago is working to build a No Kill Chicago—a city where pets are no longer destroyed just because they are homeless. PAWS Chicago will find new homes for more than 4,000 homeless pets in 2010 through the state-of-the-art Adoption & Humane Center in Lincoln Park. The cageless Adoption Center provides homeless pets with the care and dignity they deserve while welcoming adopters, providing them with guidance in selecting their new pet and continued support for life."

PS - Check out their adoption options for DOGS and CATS. Save a life and gain a furry friend!
