Thanksgiving is a time for us to reflect on the things we are thankful for in our lives. I could say that now, more than ever, we have a lot to be thankful for in this world. Here at 5j Design, we're thankful for our clients and to the people who have made this year a very successful year. 

With Thanksgiving, comes a time where we gather with our family, friends, and neighbors to celebrate, give thanks, and share traditions we have grown to look forward to every year. 

We hope you all have had a great "Movember", "No-Shave November", or whatever you may call it. To us at 5j Design, it's always Movember, and we take our beards very seriously. Having a beard for so long, sometimes people will ask you questions about your beard. Mainly they're just curious about this thing we've decided to keep on our faces and why we choose to do so. 

We've compiled a list of frequently asked beard questions and our responses to them. We hope you enjoy :)
