Good lord above, please put an end to these 鈥済litter beards.鈥�

Seriously, did I ever think I would utter a sentence about glitter beards out loud? No, I never did.

For those who aren鈥檛 aware, glitter beards are a new trend 鈥� a word I鈥檓 using very loosely 鈥� where men cover their beards in glitter.

Maybe because I myself do not have a beard, I can鈥檛 fully grasp the desire to douse facial hair in the cleanup disaster that are sparkly flecks of glitter, but none the less, all over social media I keep seeing it.

I even spent five minutes of my life watching a video of how to properly apply the glitter. Spoiler alert: there really is no trick, just apply oil and then glitter.

Now, the video was actually pretty hilarious because the guys making it were funny, but the entire time I kept thinking to myself, 鈥淭he cleanup, good god it鈥檚 going to get all over the carpet!鈥�

Then I had another equally terrifying thought that I had finally turned into my mother. Something I didn鈥檛 think would happen so soon, but alas, it has.

Maybe this trend is just another way to add to the sparkly holiday spirit?

And in all honesty if this is something anyone is seriously into or is desperate to rock at their next Christmas party, I鈥檓 not knocking your taste. You do you.

I鈥檓 simply typing to help organize my erratic mind full of odd thoughts.

Also, I鈥檓 curious as to how long the glitter will last, especially if applied to a large beard. I鈥檓 sure men will be finding remnants until next Christmas.

Maybe I just won鈥檛 get it until I dip my head in a bucket of glitter. Maybe that will be my enlightened moment, and my musings full of confusion will finally come to an end.

But until then, glitter beards, you will still continue to completely baffle me.
