Snorkeling Dilemma "To Shave or Not to Shave. That is the question" I know, I know; it doesn't sound like a big deal on having to shave it off but I would rather not have to lug any extra stuff on a vacation than I have to. Then there is the itchy and naked feeling I get when not having one. I decided to devote some space for the hirsute snorkeling crowd out there with some do's and don'ts and tips to try and get around this "hairy" dilemma.
The first tip is getting a good mask with a soft silicone skirt. Avoid any mask that is not silicone because the silicone will conform to the face better than the inexpensive masks found in the seasonal aisles of "Mart" stores. Silicone is more expensive but it is more resistant to the elements such as Ultra-violet rays so it will have a better life value. If you are unsure if the mask is silicone, a good way to check is to see if it has tempered glass lenses. The lenses will have "tempered" written on the glass. Manufacturer's who spend the money on tempered glass are more likely to use silicone for the skirt as well. The mask skirt should have what is called a double seal, which will create a more effective barrier than masks without.
If you are like most people, you might think "If it leaks tighten it". While this works with faucets and such, tightening the mask strap will only serve to reduce the silicone skirt's ability to conform to the face. The simple act of smiling or taking out the snorkel will cause leakage from other areas. Granted, you may have to play with how tight or loose the mask strap needs to be, but the position of the mask strap on the back of the head may solve a lot more problems than you might think. Positioning the mask strap higher on the back of the head will pull the bottom of the skirt tighter to the lip but will still allow the rest of the mask skirt to conform the other facial features.
ou may have heard people suggest putting petroleum gels on the mustache to create a better seal. While this does actually work, using petroleum gels such as Vaseline will deteriorate the silicone over time and is therefore not advised. Using a food grade silicone gel will work and will not affect the silicone skirt. While this is a very viable means of taking care of leakage due to mustaches, it is really a bite getting the silicone gel out of the mustache when you are done snorkeling.
If you have a very thick mustache, thinning it out will help. I have known guys to go so far as to trim their mustaches to create a wider space between the nose and the upper lip. This allows the inner seal of the mask skirt to seal directly to skin of the upper lip. I have a hard time with seeing this as it always reminds me of the way Adolph Hitler wore his mustache.
These are but a few suggestions. They may or may not work for those with mustaches. If you have tried these and have not succeeded then it is time to kiss that mustache goodbye and see what you've been missing. Anyone with any other tips or suggestions that have not been listed is highly encouraged to let me know of them via e-mail.

Chinese New Year - Get Chinese New Year Eve Celebration around the World
The Chinese New Year is a fifteen day celebration that falls on a different date each year as it is a combination of lunar and solar movements. It usually falls in the month of January or February. This year marks the 'Year of the Horse'. The Chinese New Year’s date varies every year and falls on second new moon after the winter solstice. The date for the occasion is decided according to the calendar which is a combination of the solar and the lunar calendar. Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, cat, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and boar are the animals that are considered to be auspicious. Each person as is believed in the Chinese calendar resembles an animal and this reflects their traits. The Chinese New Year or the Spring Festival as it is also known is the most revered holiday of the year. This is the time when family and friends gather and offer prayers to their ancestors and deities followed by a lavish dinner to usher in the New Year. During this time, families clean their homes while feng shui believers decorate their homes accordingly. On Chinese New Year Eve, members of a family stay up late as legend goes that long ago; the gods in heaven would give gold to each family so they would keep awake, active and ready to accept the gold gift. Families decorate their homes with pretty vases and colorful flowers symbolizing that nature has reawakened. Oranges and tangerines are placed in the house as a sign of happiness and prosperity. A tray of candies made of eight different types of candies are placed along with these. The candies are made of lotus seeds, longan, peanuts, coconut, cumquat, red melon seeds, candied melon, etc. The traditional food that is a significant part of the Chinese New Year party includes Jai, Fish and chicken, noodles and desserts. The dinner has a symbolic meaning in which the Chinese dumplings imply wealth as they are in the shape of ancient Chinese gold or silver ingots. Jiu is the traditional hard liquor in China symbolizes longevity as also Daikon, a white radish. Red chilies symbolize good luck while rice ensures harmony. Chinese people are usually out on the roads, especially kids who wear Chinese dragon masks and go for the Chinese New Year Dragon parade. Dragon dances are a vital part of the Chinese New Year. One man who has a 'Pearl Of Wisdom' on a pole entices the dragon to follow him to the drum beats as though searching for wisdom and knowledge. The lion dance is an equally important ritual in the consecration of any auspicious time in China. The Lantern Festival is an amazing visual display of multicolored paper lanterns created by craftsmen in designs of butterflies, dragons, birds, dragonflies and other insects or animals. The Dragon Boat Festival marks the day of a certain Chinese scholar who threw himself into the river over a political protest. Chinese New Year is not just a festival of fun and part, but also a time to welcome the new season, pray for prosperity and well being and cleanse away the any thing evil.
