Those fun little “national” days celebrating pizza, dentist appointments, and pets may not get you a day off work, but they can still put a smile on your face.
We’re big fans of fun holidays, but this might be our absolute favorite.
Today, June 14th is NATIONAL CUCUMBER DAY!
Cucumbers are the precursors to pickles. They make great salad toppings and healthy snacks. But just wait until you see all of the amazing ways cucumbers can be used.
Here are a few of our favorite cucumber-themed items in honor of National Cucumber Day!
Cool as a Cucumber
Cucumbers are downright cool. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard the phrase “cool as a cucumber.” One of the most iconic things to use cucumbers is this phrase. And guess what? You can get nearly anything with this fun quote on it.
- T-shirts
- Pajamas
- Stickers
- Mugs
Vodka
If you’re looking for a refreshing drink this summer, cucumber vodka is the way to go. Svedka, Skinny Girl, and Pinnacle all make their unique versions of cucumber vodka. However, you can also make your own fun, flavorful drink to taste. Follow this recipe for a cucumber vodka lemonade, or hold the vodka if you’re looking for an alcohol-free version!
Skincare
Any spa clip you’ve ever seen on the media includes cucumbers over the eyes. Usually, someone is laying there slathered in a face mask with calming, cooling cucumber slices resting over their eyes.
It’s true. You can use cucumbers this way. Simply slice them and place or gently rub them over the skin to moisturize and soothe it. However, many big beauty brands caught wind of the power of this piece of product. Some of the top-recommended cucumber skincare products include:
- Native Cucumber & Mint Body Wash
- Mario Badescu Cucumber Cleansing Lotion
- ClarityRX Cold Compress Soothing Cucumber Mask
- Yes To Cucumbers Cooling Moisturizer
- Kiehl’s Herban Conditioning Cleanser
Dessert
The cucumber has a reputation for being healthy and rather plain. While you can certainly use cucumbers in a number of healthy recipes, don’t sleep on this food’s dessert potential. Some delicious cucumber deserts to try include:
- Cucumber nut bread
- Lemon and cucumber cake with gin icing
- Sugar-glazed cucumber bread
- Sweet cucumber and basil pudding
- Lemon and cucumber or raspberry and cucumber popsicles
