As I said before, I’m from Romania and for the past 7 years I’ve been living in the UK.
Recently I travelled to Romania to visit my mother, brother and the remaining grandparents. I’ve spent almost 3 weeks there and I got to spend time with my dear ones and I also travelled a bit and visited some really nice places. I needed some time off and this holidays came at the perfect time.SUMMER HOLIDAYS IN ROMANIA 2022
For those of you who still think Romania is a very poor country and most probably would be very bad to live there, I would like to let them know that it’s actually a very nice country, with lots of beautiful places.
You can go and visit the sea, it called The Black Sea and they have beautiful beaches that can match or perhaps outdo many of the well known beaches in the world. If you fancy the mountains area better, you can go to the Carpathian Mountains, which form a 1,500 km long range in Europe and more than half of this range is on Romania’s territory. They have lots of beautiful places to choose from and if you want to visit Romania in the winter, you can go skiing if you’re into that.
I’m not going to enumerate all the beautiful places to visit in Romania because there are quite a few and would take forever.My native town is called Craiova, has a population of almost 300 000 people and is situated in the south of the country.The weather in these 3 weeks was very hot, with a average of 34°-35°C.
After spending a week at home and visited all our dear ones, we decided to go somewhere to relax for a couple of days.
Because I have a small child, he’s 18 months now, I didn’t wanted to go somewhere too far. It needed to be maximum 2 hours away with a car from where I was staying( my parents house). For example if I wanted to go to the sea, it would have taken me 5 hours to get there, which is a bit to much for him. He can manage two hours in the car but definitely not five.In this case, I’ve chosen some nice places that were only 2 hours away and I’ll share my thoughts and impressions about how it was and what places we visited.
Firstly, let me mention this now in case I forget later: In 3 weeks in Romania, I’ve seen some of the most expensive cars in the world, we’re talking here about Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley and of course all sorts of Audi, Bmw and Mercedes. The romanians apparently are doing quite well, which is nice to see.For our first two days we chosen a beautiful place, it’s called Forest House and as the name suggests, they have many wooden houses built in a forest around a lake.
They also got an outdoor swimming pool, jacuzzi and the view is beautiful.
They also got an outdoor swimming pool, jacuzzi and the view is beautiful. The food was very good and we really enjoyed our time there. On the second day, we visited the area around and we discovered some really nice places.
This is where we had our lunch when we arrived. After two days was time to leave the Forest House and for our next destination we picked a place with a rich touristic history, exactly two hours away, named Baile Herculane.
We stayed at a nice hotel named Grand Hotel Minerva Resort and Spa.
After we checked in and left our luggage in the room, we went out for a walk and to find a nice place to eat. We found it after around 30 minutes, thanks to Google maps and this place was called Greek Pizzeria Dimitrios. They have a really good pizza there, probably one of the best I’ve ever had to be honest.
Later on, we went back to the hotel and spent some time at their swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna facility.
The next morning, of course we missed breakfast at the hotel. For some reason they finish with the breakfast at 10 AM and we went there around 10:30 AM. To continue on a funny note, we then went to a local restaurant in Baile Herculane to eat something and they couldn’t give us what we ordered because they still were serving breakfast stuff till 12 o’clock. We managed to sort it out in the end and everyone was happy.
After 3 days was time to go home and as planned, it took us only two hours.Few random pictures I took on our short trip.

The sleeveless T-shirt is that clothing article that is not actually a T-shirt but is not a Tank Top either. It’s porpoise on planet Earth is still unknown and despite the fact it’s absolutely pointless, some people continue to buy and wear it proudly on the street.
If you’re not The Rock or a very muscular person, you shouldn’t have something like this in your wardrobe.
The only time when is ok to wear it, is when you’re going to the gym or if you recently started to take boxing lessons.
We can add one more category of people that can wear a sleeveless T-shirt in the middle of the day and get away with it and those are the guys with lots of tattoos on their arms.
But if you are in your 40s – 50s, you’re not in shape and you drive a Fiat Doblo, please don’t wear this!
There’s no reason at all to go for such an extreme approach.
Wear a tank top instead if it you want, it’s much better.
These are just a few examples of the situations when is actually ok to wear a sleeveless T-shirt:
– Going fishing ✔️
– Working in constructions ✔️
– Doing work in the garden ✔️
– Doing a barbecue ✔️
– Working on your car ✔️
– Cutting the grass ✔️
– Relaxing on the sofa ✔️
– Going to the gym ✔️
– Working as a security guard ✔️
If you’re not doing any of the above, then it’s probably a good idea not to wear a sleeveless T-shirt.

Episode 1
When you’re 25 you think that you’ll be like this forever and being old is such a far away concept you can’t even imagine it yet.
At 35 you finally realise that you possibly lived half of your life already. 40 is just around the corner and you panic because you always thought you will have time for everything you planned to do in life.
Suddenly, time is beginning to feel much more precious than 10 years ago.
If you still want to achieve great things in life, like you planned early on, you have to start now, there’s no time to waste!
The OFM Project Series
The motion has to start from you, it’s a long and hard road ahead make no mistake about it. You have to be prepared to fight for your dream and believe in it even when nobody else does.
Give it 100% every day, don’t cut corners, this is the time to push, you’ll rest later!
First, write down the plan of how you are going to achieve your goals. Put everything there : dates, sums, numbers, goals, years, etc( for example some people even wrote down the color, model and interior options of the car they’re going to buy when they will be rich). Give as many details as you can, and of course make sure your plan is achievable.
Once the plan is done, it’s time to put everything in motion. Don’t try to delay it or find excuses. Our minds sometimes work in mysterious ways and you need to take a closer look inside, have a sincere and open discussion with yourself and find out why you’re not doing everything you can to succeed, what’s holding you back?
There’s always a reason, you just need to be completely honest and ask the right questions, you’ll be surprised of what you can discover.
You always hear people telling their stories of how they got rich and what it took for them to get there. The difference is that me you’ll get to see it live.
Here’s what was done so far:1. This blog which was started from 0. A lot of hard work was put in to it, more than ever imagined. The target is to make it profitable in 5-7 months.
2. I tried cryptocurrencies trading for a couple of months and stopped when I realised it’s too much of a gamble. I only have a few coins left in my portfolio and I don’t really pay to much attention to this for the moment.
3. I’ve created two YouTube channels and already posted a few videos. Two more will be created next month. The channels are very different from each other. They have distinct topics and styles.
The goal is to make all of them profitable in one year.4. Affiliate marketing and creating an online store are planned to start in September.
5. Writing a book, investing in Real Estate and two-three other business are due to
start next year.
I will be keeping you updated with the progress made and the difficulties and problems encountered on the way.
The target is to become a multi millionaire in 3 years, starting from basically zero. I don’t expect it to be easy, I’m prepared to work hard and overcome all challenges so I can turn my dream in reality.
Anyone can change their life around, you just need to be disciplined, work hard and really believe in your dream. People make the mistake to believe that rich people are smarter than them, well I’m here to tell you there not. They were just willing to follow their dreams all the way and they didn’t let anyone stop them.
Of course you need to put in the work and make sacrifices, there’s no other way, but if you really want it, sooner or later you will succeed. There’s really no limit to what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it.
One important thing to keep in mind is that sometimes it’s difficult to stay focused. Most people want to be rich of course but they are not willing to quit their routines and what makes them happy.
You need a bit of determination and strong will to come home from a hard day at work and instead of relaxing on the sofa and watching Netflix, you open your laptop and start working on your projects.
For some reason most of us believe we’ll have time later, ”it doesn’t really need to be right now”. We forget that life is very unpredictable and things can change in any moment.
We have to take advantage of every single day and try not to waste time on things that make us happy only for the moment.

Let’s start with the beginning, how long should it be?Some like to have it long while others want it shorter
Personally I like my beard short, Nr.3 with my shaver
I trim it daily and I use a razor for the sides and neck
Takes 15 minutes, it’s easy and I just need to checkThat when I’m shaving my neck I don’t go to hight
I prefer a lower neck line, just looks and feels right
If you shave it too high, it will look weird and less full
Thrust me when I tell you, that style is not very coolFrom the sides I shave only a bit, I like a natural style
I don’t want some lines that you can see from a mile
After you finished, apply some aftershave, it feels nice
You can use what you like, mine is called Old SpiceApply Argan oil on your beard once or twice a week
Give it a good massage, this is the best technique
Your beard and skin will appreciate this so much
Their gonna be healthier and a lot softer to touchThe next step is not really for your beard but it’s good
Apply a moisturising cream on your face, you should
Use one that protects and hydrates your skin all day
Apply it in the morning, for me this is the best wayHope you enjoyed this post about trimming beard

9 TIPS TO HAVE A NICER AND CLEANER FACE
RED SHOES-WOW! JOGGING TROUSERS-YES!
Why most barbers cut your hair shorter than what you asked them to do??
I’m going to start by saying that I’m not a doctor, dermatologist or health trainer. I just like to take care of my body the best way I can and these are some of the things I discovered in time and that work for me.
Nobody told them to me, I didn’t read about them anywhere,they are just useful information that I obtained trough the years, doing mistakes, learning from them and trying to find solutions to some of my skin related problems.
I know they are not revolutionary solutions. Most of us know them, it’s just that sometimes we need to be reminded of the things we know already, and when someone does that, we manage to acknowledge them a bit better.
9 TIPS FOR YOU TO HAVE A NICER AND CLEANER FACE, WITHOUT RED SPOTS, ACNE, DRY SKIN, DARK CIRCLES AND JUST A SMOTHER AND HEALTHIER SKIN IN GENERAL
Tip Nr.1 Pop pimples only if necessary and apply cold water and ice after.
Let’s say you wake up one morning and you knowtest you have two-three new pimples on your face.
After dealing with the frustration and irritation of seeing what just happened with your lovely face, first you assess how bad is the situation. If you must, try to pop only the ones that you know for sure are ready, what I mean by that is the fact that if you pop a pimple that is not ready, this will only make the skin even more red and irritated than it already is. So after popping the pimples that were “ready”( and when I say “ready” you know what I mean, this subject is unpleasant as it is, we don’t need to go into more details).Make sure you wash your face with cold water for couple of minutes, if you can, apply some ice afterwards, that would be perfect.
If you plan on going out that day put just a small drop of makeup on it, leave it for one minute and after that level it around the pimple using one finger till it’s nice and even.Tip Nr.2 Make sure you get enough sleep.
One of the most important keys in having a nice and clean and rested face is SLEEP. Make sure you sleep at least 7 hours a night, and seven is the minimum here, if you can sleep 8-9 hours a night that would be perfect.
Nothing is more important for your face than a good and restful sleep.
Not getting enough sleep could result in having, dry skin, redness, of course dark circles, sometimes pimples and over all not a healthy looking face. I think the word I’m looking for is “tired” if you don’t get enough sleep, you will have a tired face.Tip Nr.3 Cut down on sugar
Try to reduce or eliminate the sugar you consume daily. Sugar is known to cause sometimes acne, inflammation or redness on your face.
For me personally, sugar was always an important factor in developing pimples, all the time when I was eating let’s say a slice of cake, the chances were 50%-50% to wake up the next morning with a pimple on my face. If I had let’s say 2 slices of cake, the chances were 100% that the next day somewhere on my face there will be a form of acne.
So I knowtest what was happening and when I started to cut down the sugar, don’t get me wrong, I eat a slice of cake once in a while but as long I don’t exaggerate there are no problems.
Tip Nr. 4 Drink less milk
Milk is also known to cause redness and acne and the same as with the sugar I knowtest that after consuming milk, sometimes I would have the unpleasant surprise of seeing some red spots or pimples on my face and in this case I just replaced the regular milk with Soya milk.
For me is not such a big difference and after a while you really don’t even think or care about the regular milk anymore, for me soya milk works just fine. If you don’t like soya milk for some reason, you can also try almond, coconut or oat milk so you can choose the one you prefer.
I used to put milk and sugar in my coffee before and since I stopped using sugar and milk, now I drink my coffee black and I must say that I’m pretty happy with this decision. I love having a nice cup of coffee to start the day properly and not adding sugar or milk let’s you savour better the taste of a freshly made coffee, nothing better!
Tip Nr.5 Bananas can cause redness or acne
That’s right, another important discovery that I made was that bananas also were causing red spots and pimples on my face.
I used to eat a banana every one-two days, I always liked bananas and never had any problems after consuming them. For some reason, after turning 30 years of age, I started to see acne on my face after eating a banana, so you guessed it: I stopped eating bananas and replaced them with other fruits.
No problems there, many other fruits to choose from. I understand it takes a bit of discipline to just stop doing something you like and you enjoyed doing it for years but if you set your mind to it and decide you don’t need it anymore, it’s not going to be very difficult to just accept it and move on.
It’s like making a promise to yourself and do everything you can to keep that promise.
Many people pride themselves with keeping their promises, well why not keep the promises you made to yourself?Tip Nr. 6 Taking too many vitamins can be bad for your skin
It was a time when I believed that taking a lot of vitamins will keep me healthier and will give moreenergy.This is not necessarily true and you should only take vitamins if your doctor recommended it or if you feel you really need it.
I’m not going to quote any scientific evidence here, it is only my opinion and I believe that keeping things simple and not trying to fix what it’s not broken, in my opinion it’s the best way.
Taking vitamins that your body doesn’t need may result in developing acne, redness, inflammation and who knows what consequences on the long term could occur.It’s not that I don’t recomand vitamins, it’s your decision to take them if you belive they will improve your quality of life or help with your recovery after exercising or help you concentrate better. Personally, I decided to keep things more natural, I don’t take any vitamins.
I would if a doctor would recommend me to take vitamins, then maybe I would.
TIP NR.7 Try as much as possible to exercise at least twice a week
We can all agree that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is very important for your entire body, not only for your face.
We’ll focus on the benefits it has for our face this time and you don’t need me to tell you that working out just makes your whole body function better and of course that will be noticeable on your face as well.Exercising tones the skin and improves blood circulation, reduces the risks of acne, wrinkles, redness, fine lines or saggy skin and you will definitely have a more healthier and better looking face.
I am not going to insist to much here because we all know how important exercising is for our body’s and if you want to have a cleaner and healthier skin, you definitely can’t ignore tip nr 7.
Tip Nr.8 Less fizzy drinks
Most of the fizzy drinks that are on the market now are full of sugars, artificial sweeteners, acids, fructose, a large number of calories and they don’t contain any essential nutrients.
Considering they have so much sugar, of course this will impact in a negative way your skin among many other parts of your body. Comes in mind that according to many studies, people who drink fizzy drinks regularly, have more chances to develop dementia later on in their life.
There are so many studies and articles revealing how bad fizzy drinks really are and you can do your own research regarding this subject and if you’re looking to have better and healthier skin you really need to cut down or eliminate these drinks from your life.
For me personally, the worst ones are: Coca-Cola, Fanta, Pepsi and almost all energy drinks. I never used to drink them regularly, only once in a while and recently I decided to eliminate them completely from my diet.
Tip Nr.9 Alcohol can have a negative impact on your skin
Like I said in the beginning of this article, probably everyone knows these informations it’s not like I’m telling you something new here.Sometimes is good to be reminded of the things you knew already, makes you see them in a different light and helps you to take better decisions for yourself.
Alcohol is bad for you and we’re not talking here about excessive alcohol, even a occasional beer or a glass of wine can be bad for your body.Drinking alcohol affects your brain, hart, liver, pancreas, muscles, immune system, skin and the list can go on. If we are talking just about the skin, some studies suggest that alcohol dehydrates the skin, it dilates the pores leading to blackheads and whiteheads and if you drink let’s say a glass of wine, this will affect your brain, muscles, liver etc and of course it will be noticeable on your face as well. You will have a skin that looks tired, dry,maybe some redness here and there, and you definitely won’t have that glow of a fresh, healthy and rested face.
