June, last month! ๐Ÿ˜ผ

Image
Ayy, time flies by so quickly without us knowing it. I remember when I was starting my studies, new university, new professors, new friends. And in a month it will be a year since I study in Poznaล„. The whole second half of the year at Uni was tough, and I feel that the last month will be even worse.  We've already been told about all the exams. I'm terribly afraid, because of the whole virus stuff and online classes I don't feel prepared at all. I think that each of us tries to cope with this situation somehow, but the amount of work that we have is incredibly large. I hope that the professors will be quite lenient with us, and we, as students- we will do our best to pass all of the exams.  In any case, I'm counting down the days to vacation! I feel a bit depressed because I was supposed to go to Spain for 3 months, but because of this virus stuff it probably won't be possible. I'm only comforted by the fact that the borders will be open and I will be able to g

No more eating meat?! ๐Ÿง

Image
In recent weeks I have been thinking a lot about eating meat. I never thought deeper about it because my family had always eaten meat and as far as I know no one was ever a vegan or vegetarian. But I started to read more about it, watched various movies on the subject and began to limit the consumption of meat.  After watching all these films, after seeing how animals are treated and in what conditions they are kept before being delivered to the shelves of stores, I almost vomited. In fact, when I ate meat, I never thought about it and I think that many of you don't pay attention to it either. But believe me, after all I saw, you would also change your mind, if only a bit. Of course, I don't want to persuade anyone here at this place, all the more so that you give up eating meat because I think it's an individual matter. But sometimes it's worth watching videos that show how everything we eat (in this case animals) is treated and in what conditions prepared before being

Denim day๐Ÿ‘–

In today's post I would like to talk about an event that always takes place on April 29 each year. Maybe some of you already know it or associate it, but I personally haven't heard of it before and I regret it! This event is called "Denim day" and its goal is to encourage a million people around the world to wear jeans on this day, to support survivors and to raise awareness of rape and sexual assault.  I was very interested in the history of this event and started looking for information on this topic. After reading a few sentences of one of the articles I was shocked. So the story began in the 1990s in Italy when a 45-year-old driving instructor took an 18-year-old girl on her first driving lesson. He took her to an isolated road, pulled her out of the car, then pulled her jeans off and forcefully raped her. At first, after reporting the rape, the perpetrator was arrested and prosecuted. However, a few years later he decided to appeal the sentence, claiming that the

In these hard moments for us, where we have limited possibilities and traveling is impossible, we can get carried away by fantasy and start planning next trips! As you probably already know, I am a great lover of travel and everything related to it. So sitting at home unfortunately doesn't help me at all. But there are also positive sides, I can sit down calmly, think about everything and start planning next trips. Today I will tell you about one of my biggest "dream destinations".  Nature, nature and again nature! I know, it's everywhere, but I associate it with this place even more. Bali . For the first time I found out about the existence of this beautiful island from photos that presented the beautiful views and power of our mother nature. I can say that it was such love at first sight. Later, as it turned out, I realized that one of my favorite models is from Bali. So thanks to her and her instagram publications I was able to get to know this place more. I have t

Tiny toones! ๐Ÿคธ

Last week I heard for the first time about the cool project "El sistema" in Venezuela, which aims to promote human opportunity and development for impoverished children. Today, watching TV, I found out about another great project, maybe less known, but also helping a large number of community. Its name is Tiny Toones which uses break-dance and the culture of hip-hop to engage, inspire and educate young people from some of Cambodia's most impoverished neighbourhoods.  Interesting is also the story of the founder of this project- Tuy Sobil (aka "KK") born in Thai refugee camps. He grew up in Los Angeles, where he joined the gang and was later sentenced to several years in prison for armed robbery. After serving his sentence, he was deported to a completely unknown place- Cambodia. This place completely changed his life and made him become a completely different person. The project involves kids and encourages them to attend its dance classes. However, there are ce

Support local business! ๐Ÿ’ผ

Quarantine continues, the virus doesn't leave us and state economies are getting closer to collapse. Not only the economy suffers from this, but also people who have started to lose their jobs massively. So this is a difficult, but also important time for us as a society, in which we have to unite and face the problem. What can we do to help improve this state of affairs and support our economy?  So one of the most crucial and obvious steps we need to take is to support local brands and products. When purchasing any product, we should check on the label where the product was made. If it wasn't made in Poland, the best we can do is to find another one from local places. Instead of going to the supermarket and buying fruit imported from abroad, we can go to a small shop where it's sold by Polish producers. What's more, the important thing is to be aware that imported products must be able to survive the transport route until being delivered to a given country

Healthy lifestyle?! ๐Ÿ’ช

Image
I wrote recently about the changes that I want to make in my life, I decided that one of them will also be healthy food! Healthy eating has never been my strong side, but now I am fully motivated. One of my motivations is my mother who recently started her diet. The fact is that the diet she has, is to lose weight. I don't feel such a need and don't think that I have to lose any additional kilos, but I want to start eating healthy, at fixed times and not snacking sweet. With snacking sweets it will be hard because I'm addicted to them (who doesn't love sweets?!), but I will try to change them for some nice, healthy snacks! In addition to healthy eating, sleep and daily exercise are important. Sleep promotes the regeneration of our body, thanks to the right amount of sleep, we wake up in the morning rested, with new energy to work. On hard and full of work days it is difficult to get enough sleep, but we have to try to make it sufficient for our organism. I have
