50 years ago, I was 10. ✨Few 🍋left for 🌴

2/11 Edited to

... Read moreTurning back the clock 50 years brings a flood of memories that truly shape who we become. Being 10 years old is such a special age—on the cusp of discovering the bigger world yet still holding onto the innocent joys of childhood. For me, those days revolved around simple pleasures, playing outside under the shade of palm trees, a scene that now feels almost rare. As time passes, it's fascinating to notice how much the environment changes and how fewer spots retain that original charm. The phrase 'Few left for 🌴' really resonates as it highlights the rarity of places that still have those majestic palms and the carefree atmosphere they brought. In my experience, these natural backdrops were not just scenery; they were silent storytellers reminding us of simpler times and endless summers. Reflecting on these moments helps me appreciate the importance of preserving such environments—not just the trees but the memories and emotions tied to them. It's a reminder to slow down and cherish the fleeting moments of our youth and to be grateful for those timeless landscapes that still remain, even if few.

A woman with long dark hair sits in a car, looking at the camera. Overlay text states, '6 years as an esthetician and every time I see a client use these skincare products I want to cry...' with crying and broken heart emojis.
Six different skincare products are displayed on a light green background. A large red circle with '-99/10' is at the bottom, indicating a very negative rating. Text above and below suggests these products are not effective for real skincare.
Two skincare products are shown side-by-side. One, rated 2/10, is described as causing skin issues. The other, rated 10/10, is praised for clearing skin and breakouts, referred to as a 'holy grail'.
Especially the last few…🥵

50 things to do instead of scrolling
A few years ago, I was someone who scrolled until I fell asleep, charged my phone under my pillow and then checked it right upon waking up. the past few months I have been doing things differently and I have seen such a change in my overall mood! I highly suggest trying some of these things!!!
