Sunscreen? I don’t need it

I have an impression that in Poland vast majority of people don’t seen the need to protect themselves from the sun. They don’t wear hats or caps nor use sunscreens. If people do use them, it is on a beach or during holiday in an exotic country. Scientists claim that we should use sunscreens all year long, especially during summer. Although it’s still spring, the sun starts to come out more frequently and every time it gets, let’s say, “hotter”. A sunscreen protects our skin from the negative impact of the sun which can cause early skin aging and some serious diseases in the future, cancer included. However, a lot of people don’t use it because they think it will prevent them from going brown, which is the thing apparently everyone wants when the summer comes. Two years ago, I also used to be this kind of person. I loved spending time on the beach or in a garden, lying on a blanket and sunbathing. I would use a cosmetic which speeded up getting suntan. My grandmother used to tell me: “Oh my God, you shouldn’t spend so much time sunbathing! Sweetie, it’s so unhealthy!”. She is a nurse so she knows a lot about health issues. However, I wasn’t paying a lot attention to her words. What is more, I even didn’t take a sunscreen with me when I was going to Spain on Erasmus, where temperature was almost 40 degrees! I’m happy I’ve finally noticed the possible negative aspects of sun exposure and now I can’t imagine going out without using a sunscreen first. I’m as pale as snow, but I don' really care any more :)

Why don’t you have a rest?

source: forsal.pl Nowadays people are living so fast. Every morning you can see them almost running to get to work, pupils with big school bags walking fast because they’ve overslept, old ladies going to the market in order to be the first in buying the best groceries and cars passing by with an incredible speed. What makes all of them losing their heads? Well, the answer is pretty simple: money and obligations. All the society is used to this type of life and I’m afraid sometimes we don’t have any other option. I’m one of these “running people”. I always walk hurriedly and have a lot of things to do in my tense schedule. It’s very annoying when someone is walking slowly in front of me and I can’t get ahead. In such situations I have an impression that this person is stealing my valuable time. Of course it’s not true, but when you have a hundred things to do, every minute is priceless. However, every day I try to find a moment only for myself and I think all of us should t...

Let it snow!

Source: https://www.biznews.com/briefs/2014/02/25/harsh-weather-tests-optimism-u-s-economy There are two kinds of people – these who like snow and these who hate it. I’m somewhere in the middle of this battle. To me, snow is a nice thing in December, with all those lights, Christmas Trees and other adornments. It looks really magic when combined together. I love these lazy evenings with my decorative candles lighting in the room, a good film and snow outside. Nothing better than moments like this, with a warm blanket, of course! However, if the snow falls in April when it’s absolutely not supposed to, I rather hate it. Moreover, I’m cold almost every day so winter is especially tricky to me as I try to stay warm at home or during classes and snow doesn’t help at all. I hope it will fall at Christmas Eve, though, which isn't now as obvious in Poland as it used to be :)

So proud!

Yesterday we celebrated the biggest Polish national holiday – The Independence Day. However, it wasn’t just another celebration, because it was the hundredth anniversary! For this reason, I would like to touch on the matter of manifesting our nationality and being proud of it . I think nowadays it’s so important to remember about people to whom we owe freedom, for example Józef Piłsudski. It’s quite sad that there are still so many of us who don’t hang out Polish flags on that day. Every time I’m in Spain, especially during a national holiday, I notice a lot of flags waving on balconies. I guess in the United States every single house has a flag on July 4 th , Americans always do this and I assume they can’t imagine not to. It should be important to everyone, even more for a country that fought as bitterly for its freedom as Poland and sacrificed millions of lives. Be proud! source: https://www.mjakmama24.pl/szkola/nauka/flaga-polski-kolorowanka-do-druku,580_1...
