Tough times and shit happens as people and memes s

Tough times and shit happens as people and memes say, but I really couldn't grasp and make resilience mine. I thought it was an idea in the minds and mouths of gurus who, from their state of peacefulness, show people the "way".

Well, there's this olive tree which found itself surrounded by stone buildings and concrete. Maybe it was there before and its space got invaded or someone replanted it there to make a square more authentically rustic – God knows.

It isn't its place; it can't soak up in the toasty warm sun rays. It could shrink, dry up and die; instead, it stays still, nice and green. Apparently, resilience is this.

Shit happens and times are getting darker; be that olive tree.

Y know what? It's cold, I scroll back to a random summer Saturday...
June 2023.

1) #faceoftheday or I forgot I was blonde.
2) Saturday Korean class w/ @korean_elly, @sparklingcherryx , @dianewii and @stormshorizon .
3) Lunch break must be Korean, of course. (a classic bento from @bentobab).
4) #mirrorselfie or Packing light, what does that mean?
5) Give me some googly eyes.
6) Special airport pick-up. Yes, I saw the police but nah...

If the solution to your problems was delivered in

If the solution to your problems was delivered in a box, life would be much easier. For your #skin is.
@wishtrend has many curated #skincare boxes like the Pore Obsession Box with 4 full-size treatments to start your pore-minimising routine.Have you seen how to apply these? Now read more...
In the #PoreObsessionBox you'll find:

1️⃣ By #Wishtrend Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash: a water-free, fuzz-free facial wash perfect for travelling around. It cleanses and exfoliates in one step to help unclog your pores. The formula seems to have been renewed and feels more delicate!
2️⃣ #ByWishtrend Propolis Energy Boosting Essence: easy and fresh like a toner but more hydrating. It's a liquid hydrating essence that also promotes radiance.
3️⃣ By Wishtrend Pore Smoothing Bakuchiol Serum: with the power of #bakuchiol, a top #Koreanskincare ingredient, this serum instantly tightens your skin – it truly impressed me – improving the appearance of skin texture so your pores as well.
4️⃣ By Wishtrend Pore Smoothing Bakuchiol Sun Stick: a fun solid sunscreen that smoothes out your skin in seconds – no joking – while providing a strong SPF 50+ protection.

I found some old skin mates and new ones. I wouldn't skip the serum, the sun stick and two of three gifts included: the Vitamin A-mazing Bakuchiol Night Cream (10 g) and the powerful (!) Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water (30 mL).

The more I use these, the more my skin feels smoother and clearer. You can expect quick effects that build up in confidence-boosting results: smoother skin texture, less visible pores and glowing skin. Just be constant and don't forget your SPF this Autumn... you pretty fool, pretty but fool.

Find the Pore Obsession Box exclusively on wishtrend.com at 30% OFF with free shipping 3 free travel size gifts (link in bio).

I'm not surprised many poor office people flee to the closest pub for an overly overpriced pint after work.
That's office life – I guess.

If that's the game, I don't...

That mean friend you don’t need but is there for you :) Not sharing rent w/ @valenschirico 🇬🇧
Contacts? Smoke signals. Merch? Hmmm

Trick or trick – as I like to say – is over. This means 51 days until the last-minute Christmas shopping rush and holiday dinners with people you don't like and you haven't seen for over a year.

This also means 58 days until New Year's Eve hangover and 60 days until back-to-work on January 2nd.
Enjoy the spirit.

George
