November is for "Movember" Men's Health Month

By Laura Medina


We all know last month, October, was Breast Cancer Month.

Now, we're more concerned about stuffing our faces, on Thanksgiving, so we have enough fuel to stand in-line overnight so we can fight the crowds for knock-down discounts on Black Friday.

What most folks are forgetting is the new tradition..."Movember"...otherwise known as Men's Health Month.  What started out as Prostate and Testicle Cancer Awareness Month, has morphed into bringing awareness to health problems affecting men in general.  Modeling on the sociable Breast Cancer Month, Movember practitioners hold heart pressure screenings in barbershops.  They grow mustaches to bring awareness of men's health to the uninformed.

Their female counterparts wear necklaces with mustaches emblems to show their support. 

For the ladies, Dinair, the spray-on foundation company, is tossing in 10 mustache stencils and filling in their makeup compressors with dark foundation so you can spray on your "Movember" mustache.

Whether you’re feeling like a slick bandit, a charming Frenchmen or Hollywood’s Gable, Dinair has more than 10 styles for you to choose from.


Prices range from $6 - $32 for stencil and airbrush makeup kit begins at $29.99.

You can order your "Movember" mustache kit at www.airbrushmakeup.com.

Don't forget the guys.
