Good evening at the 23th off December, 2024.

 Good evening everyone, 

Today was cold and dreary, changing with bright episodes. But it was mainly dark.

In this day and age, we should keep in mind we need to survive, and maintain good health and hygiene. 

Even tough prices are increasing through the roof, up to the moon and beyond, we should keep in mind we're human beings with basic, every day needs. I don't mean sex, but food, clothes and hygiene. Yes, during a wartime it can get that nasty for people. 

We don't have to look like fabulous it-girls, but a good clean and groomed nails and eyebrows are simply basic. Just like a whole coat and warm clothes. 

If we need to skip things, we need to. If we need to conserve items, we need to. If we need to wash them and maintain good cleanliness, we also need to, and we should have it in order to purchase laundry wash and other basics. It's one thing to be poor, it's the other to stink it like a baboon. Maybe you can get free stuff for basic hygiene at the place where you live, if you need to. I don't, I have everything on stock. But I wish people would not kill me for the recomendation to stay clean and basically groomed and fed during war-time. I hope that's not asked too much off a person. 

Lipstick is no basic need, a nail clipper and good files are. (And their duration is longer, if you do it wel.) Just like a pincet to pluck eyebrows. Or eyebrow razors. We don't need to draw them in all the time if we don't have that money, as long as they're plucked, and our nails are hygienic clean cut and groomed. (If you think off yourself as a woman.) And if haircuts are too expensive, ask the hairdresser if they would cut death ends and do so every once or twice a year. Just for hygiene sake. You don't need to be brilliantly cut and dyed, but cleaned, conditioned, clean cut and brushed are basic for female hair.  

And please, try to eat wholesome foods if you can lay hands on it. Fresh vegetables and bread have the preference over luxurious items and going out to clubs or events even, if we need to feed ourselves. And we should drink dairy. So milk with your breakfast if you can. (If you allow me to say so.) We're human beings with skeletons and bones which need the dairy and the protein. 

I personally agree in purchasing everyday cleaner for the floor and the toilet if prices are high, and dish soap. We are humans, we need to stay clean. We can't do without. I think the cheap house brand off cleaners is just as fine as the brands. Or cheaper. (The EU has high standards for products. On most stuff you can depend, or it would not have hit the market. At least I assume that.) As long as we do those chores. Feel free to skip subscriptions to magazines or TV channels, as long as you don't skip on cleaning the toilet or doing the dishes and washing your clothes weekly! We need to survive this, not die due to bad hygiene or pig-like behaviour. We should keep a hold on ourselves. Food, hygiene, warmth. And do store items for the long term, since it works. Remember, we don't need to be it-girls, but we need to wear clothes. Even if that means it's something from five seasons sgo. It doesn't matter during this filthy war. The EU has good standards for clothes and things like furniture and dishes. We don't need to purchase new all the time, but we need to clean them, and we should allow ourselves to buy stuff like dish wash and other soaps, and skip money on things that are NOT a basic need. If you can keep a hold on yourself, and conserve yourself that way, you can survive a long time. And you will survive this war. We're humans, NOT pigs. And we need this talk to keep a hold on ourselves. Otherwise we would go too much downward. 

Last thing: I invested money in some basic, everyday earrings like hoops and cheap studds, simply not to let the holes in my ears grow closed. Earrings are beyond the moon, but I'd suggest you cheap studds to keep the holes open so you won't regret later on. If you have these. I know in daily life you look a bit foolish with earrings nowadays since barely anyone still wears them, but for my pride, I wear them every often. Despite it's the timeless basics I got these days. Just silver knobs are enough, but please, don't let them go close. It's not the day and age for flaunty pieces, except if you are old enough to still remember the 80's, then we forgive you for your statement pieces if you can't do without. But nowadays is more for standard basics (Cheap enough) not to let the holes grow close, since we will see better days for jewelry in the future.  

Prices are beyond the moon, but we, ourselves and our standard well-being is most important to keep in mind. 

Allright, that's about it for now- 

Thank you for reading.
