週末、美容院に行ったよー！半年くらい前にボブにしてもうボブが楽(らく)すぎて楽すぎて...。いつも行っている美容院があるんだけど、今回は気分転換(てんかん)に違う美容院に行って少し切ってもらう予定だったんだよね。

I went to the hairdresser this weekend! I got a bob about 6 months ago and it's already too easy and comfortable... I have a hair salon that I usually go to, but this time I was going to go to a different one to get it cut a little for a change.

いつもは結(むす)べるギリギリくらいの長さに切ってもらうんだけど、まさかの！切られすぎた～。なんか、前髪(まえがみ)もカラーも変だし、結局2週間後にまたいつもの美容院行ったんだよね。ブリーチするかどうか悩んだんだけど、傷むのもいやーって美容師(びようし)さんに相談(そうだん)したら、今はダブルカラーっていうのが人気って教えてもらったからそれをお願いしたんだよね。たしかにブリーチしたときほど傷(いた)んではないんだけど、ちょっと髪がキシキシしてる感じがするかな。

I usually get them to cut it just long enough to tie it up, but no way! She was cut too much! Something was wrong with my bangs and color, and I ended up going back to my regular hair salon two weeks later. I wondered whether I should bleach my hair or not, but I didn't want to damage it, so I talked to the hairdresser about it, and she told me that double coloring is popular now, so I asked her to do that.It's true that my hair is not as damaged as when I bleached it, but it does feel a little bit squeaky. 

最近、日本では韓国のメイクとか髪型が流行ってって、私が行った美容院もそういう髪型を推してるところなんだよね。日本はまだみんなマスクしてるんだけど、髪を耳にかけたときに、前髪と後ろの髪の間に毛がないので、そこだけハゲて見えちゃうんだよね。そのこめかみの部分に「天使(てんし)の羽根(はね)バング」っていうのを作るのが人気なの。説明がむずしいからググってみてね。結構(けっこう)みんなしてるから、日本のテレビ見るときに注意(ちゅうい)してみてみて！

Recently, Korean makeup and hair styles have become popular in Japan, and the hair salon I went to is one that promotes such hairstyles. In Japan, everyone still wears masks, but when you put your hair over your ears, there is no hair between the front and back of your head, so you look bald there. So, it is very popular to create a bang called "Tenshi no Hane Bang" at the temples. It's hard to explain, so you'll have to Google it. It's pretty common, so pay attention when you watch Japanese TV!

Ep.4 びよういんに いきました

“For years now, I've dreamed about taking an adventure in Vietnam, and I feel like I’m finally ready to take the plunge! I would be super excited to explore the lush jungles, cruise the bustling cities, and experience the unique culture of this vibrant country.

I’d definitely want to go on this adventure with my best buddy John, as he’s also really into travel and adventure, as well as always up for anything.

I would really like to get out and experience all that Vietnam has to offer. I would love to be able to climb the incredibly beautiful limestone cliffs of Halong Bay, which I’ve seen on a few different documentaries, and is on the top of my bucket list. 

Another adventurous thing I’d really want to try would be scuba diving in the gorgeous coral reefs, as well as relaxing on some of the stunning beaches. I'm sure I would also be able to enjoy some amazing local food, and maybe even take a few cooking classes. As well as that, I’d also love to learn more about the fascinating history of the country.

I guess I would be a little nervous about the whole trip, but I’d also be very eager to get out there and explore. I'm sure there would be some bumps along the way, but hey, that would be all part of the adventure. I'm always ready to step out of my comfort zone and embrace the unknown.

I'm so looking forward to having an epic adventure in Vietnam one of these days, and I'm sure it would be an incredible experience and I’d have so many wonderful stories to share with everyone back home. I'm sure it won't be long before I'm actually packing my bags and hitting the road!


Thank you.”

Hello and welcome to today’s episode. I hope you are all well and having a wonderful day. Today’s topic is longevity, this is something I only really took seriously and investigated since the pandemic.
Since the pandemic, most of us, myself included have realised how important our health is and have started taking a proactive approach to our health. The average lifespan has been extended dramatically since the environmental improvements in the 1990s due to advances in medicine that have nearly eliminated certain deadly infectious diseases. The good news is that although longevity is mostly influenced by genetics, studies show that genetics count for 30% of longevity the rest is determined by your lifestyle, behaviours, attitudes, environment, and luck.
