Good lord above, please put an end to these \u201cglitter beards.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seriously, did I ever think I would utter a sentence about glitter beards out loud? No, I never did.<\/p>\n
For those who aren\u2019t aware, glitter beards are a new trend \u2014 a word I\u2019m using very loosely \u2014 where men cover their beards in glitter.<\/p>\n
Maybe because I myself do not have a beard, I can\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Now, the video was actually pretty hilarious because the guys making it were funny, but the entire time I kept thinking to myself, \u201cThe cleanup, good god it\u2019s going to get all over the carpet!\u201d<\/p>\n
Then I had another equally terrifying thought that I had finally turned into my mother. Something I didn\u2019t think would happen so soon, but alas, it has.<\/p>\n
Maybe this trend is just another way to add to the sparkly holiday spirit?<\/p>\n
And in all honesty if this is something anyone is seriously into or is desperate to rock at their next Christmas party, I\u2019m not knocking your taste. You do you.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m simply typing to help organize my erratic mind full of odd thoughts.<\/p>\n
Also, I\u2019m curious as to how long the glitter will last, especially if applied to a large beard. I\u2019m sure men will be finding remnants until next Christmas.<\/p>\n
Maybe I just won\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
But until then, glitter beards, you will still continue to completely baffle me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
