Restoring back to Your Youthful Skin
Image by Brett Jordan Recently, a Twitter post went viral, featuring the cheek and neck of a 92-year-old woman. She diligently applied UV protective moisturizers to her face for over 40 years, but neglected to do the same for her neck. It's uncertain if she had any additional procedures done, and the focus here is not on her specific case, but rather the broader benefits of sunscreen.

Bioluminescent Mushrooms. "They possess an ethereal beauty that can transport you to a dreamlike realm if you are unfamiliar with them: bioluminescent mushrooms. Among the staggering 100,000 known species of mushrooms, 71 of them have the extraordinary ability to emit an enchanting glow in the darkness. Surprisingly, the U.S. Navy once harnessed this natural phenomenon when artificial lighting was absent. In the year 1775, when the first combat submarine was constructed, navigating in the absence of light posed a challenge.

Quite a long time ago, perhaps this may seem small and yet I felt I learned something very very important. At this time of my life I was divorced, depressed, working too many hours. My brother and his wife lived in the apartment above me. His (ex)wife at that time had really created a bad situation in my family, relationships were disrupted, there were very bad feelings all around.
