First steps

I finally took first steps on deck and right from the start I had to began working.

The ship was still under renovation and stand in port so me and my new friends had time to calmly learn something. Well, that’s what I was thinking but I was wrong. Everything was happening really fast.

 As first I was chosen to help in galley (kitchen). I’ve never seen so many dishes to wash before! It was really long day but I was glad that I had it behind me. At night, exactly at 4 o’clock, I had my first watch. I was excited.

Next day whole crew had to move 4 tons of food from a lorry to the ship. It took us almost all day but.. Nobody said that it’s going to be easy.

On third day I had a lot of training courses about how to climb the yards, how I should behave in dangerous situations and of course about whole those strange names of lines and sails.

After all ‘Fryderyk Chopin’ ceremoniously swam out its homeport – Szczecin and my adventure started full steam ahead.

That’s all for today. Till next time!

What did I take?

If I could pack my bags once again I would do it such a different way. I took so many, as it turned out later, unnecessary things but there were even more things I didn’t take.

  

As on every long journey in my suitcase there were underwear, shoes etc. I took definitely too many clothes and cosmetics. On the ship there was a washing machine so then I needed only a few things. I was worried that 2 months it’s a long time so 1 liter of hair shampoo won’t be enough but it was REALLY too much.

I can keep writing a whole day about things that could save my life if only I had it on the ship. At first -  jelly. It’s the best food ever when you’re sea sick. Next thing is milk for sure. There was milk on ship of course but only for coffee and sometimes for breakfast. Funny thing but everybody misses milk. I wish I had a blanket there. When I had watch in night at North Sea blanket was a lifesaver but unfortunately me and my friends had one blanket for 8 people.. Last thing I tell you about is net for clothes washing. I lost so many socks… 

Well, I learnt on my mistakes. See you soon!

Popular Diets

There are many weight loss diets out there. Some focus on restructing calories other on reducing appetite. There isn't a ideal recipe for skinny, strong body. Every of this ideas has different influence for our mood. Unfortunetly there are only a few diets which will be useful.

1. The Dukan Diet

The theory of this diet is eating proteins in definite days. All measures are divide to 4 parts.

I Part-Attack : It last 5 days, You can eat only proteins from the list of 72 allowable products.

This dr Dukan diet can help you lose 15 kilograms in 3 months without exhaustion and feeling hungry.

2.The Gluten-Free Diet

People use this diet when they struggle with food allergy or coeliac syndrome. For them a small dose of gluten can be a danger. 

Establishment of this diet is eating Gluten-Free Foods. Wheat, rye, barley and oats are completly illicit. Instead this plants the diet allow eating natural grains, for example (rice, corn, millet, buckwheat).
Now in shops we can find lots of products Gluten-Free, companies print special sign on label or packet. Below I add foto of this logo.

To sum up the main reason why people is on the diet is want to be in a good body shape. However the Gluten-Free Diet was made for food intolerance.

Extreme winter sports #1 Snowboarding

Hello everyone

Snowboarding is impossible to practice without snow. It's a bit like surfing. This sport discipline supports riding on snow-covered slopes and performing various maneuvers on a snowboard. This discipline is divided into several different styles:

As in the case of Windsurfing, we have the Freestyle-which involves performing the most spectacular maneuvers. The basic trick that is the basis of most maneuvers is olie.

Free-ride - is based on the following paths designated for it. This is the most dangerous style because you never know what the downhill will look like. And because of the lack of trampled snow it will be difficult to get the speed.

Snowcross - is a race on the route with obstacles. Participation is played by six players, the fastest of which goes to the next stage.

Alpine snowboarding - based on the fastest possible ride on the designated slope and participation in races.

See you later next time!

Extreme water sports #3 Windsurfing

Hello everyone

Windsurfing is a water sport that we cultivate with a board to which a special sail made of double-layered polyester film is attached. Windsurfing is one of the sailing disciplines performed at the Olympic Games. From 2016, Polish sailors Małgorzata Białecka and Piotr Myszka won the gold medal in competitions held in Rio de Janeiro. Windsurfing has many different varieties. I decided to choose the most popular and interesting ones.

Freestyle - consists in performing various tricks on the board. This is a very old variation of windsurfing, which with the appearance of lighter and more agile boards has become more and more popular.

Formula-Racing Regatta is the fastest variation of windsurfing. It takes place with strong and weak winds. The equipment is chosen by the participant, the only condition is compliance with the rules of Formula and ISAF.

Super X - is a discipline that has recently gained popularity. It is a combination of Freestyl and slalom competition. The race is very similar to the slalom route, except for the 60 cm buoy, which you need to jump over, there are also areas in the route where the player must perform the appropriate maneuver.

See you later next time!

Extreme water sports #2 Kite-surfing

Hello everyone

For kite-surfing you need a special kite that is attached  with a rope to the kite-surfer costume. This sport must take place with a favorable wind. Another important thing is the board, which should have a length of 1 to 2 meters. 

These boards have a low displacement and are divided myself on several types. The most popular type is the Twin-tip allows you to swim in two directions. The second most popular is the directional board has special stripes, thanks to which the board easily touch to the kit-surfer feet, it is adapted to racing in competitions. 

A kite-surfing kite can range from a few to over twenty square meters. He is responsible for the speed with which we move. Of course, there are several types of kites. The best is to convert IDS because it is good for both beginners and advanced Kit-surfers. 

It is safe and stable. The Kit-surfing record was set by the Polish kit-surfer

Victor Borsuk, who decided to use kite-surfing equipment in conjunction with a car driving on the beach, thanks to which he gained a lot of power and climbed to a record height of 68 m.

See you later next time!

Extreme water sports #1 Surfing

Hello everyone!

Surfing is the best extreme sport for all who keen on water and waves.Modern people think that the Polynesians have started surfing practice because they have done very well with water.After arriving in Hawaii, the indigenous people of Polynesia brought with them all the traditions and practice of swimming on boards.

Surfing is the longest possible floating on a sea wave in a standing position. The best effect can be elicit on coastal waves and those that reach a length cross five meters.To do this sport, you need a special board about eight feet long. 

Surfing has its easier variation:

body-board -discipline in which it is much easier to keep the balance on the board, which is smaller than the one for surfing. Instead of standing on 

her, you can lie down or sit down, which will allow us to freely use our hands and legs as a drive and this will help us to catch up with the sea wave.

See you later next time!

Schedule of meals

Most of us have problem with eating in the morning. It hoes very hard when you have to wake up at 5 o'clock and have enough energy for making a breakfast. I've found out how to start a day with a relish.

First step is planning your all day.

Find about 20 minutes for each meal. Remember you should eat at the same time. Your body will adapt to new habits.

Second step - forget about popular myth 'Have supper at 6-7 o'clock, not later'.

For example if you go sleep in the midnight that means being without meal 5 hours.

Better way is having a snack 2-3 h before go to sleep. This ritual can avoid being hungry and binge eating.

Third step is having friendly atmosphere around. Stay positive ale celebrate formal dinner with family or friends.

I hope my tips will be helpful.

The Greatest trends from 80s

Today I'm gonna tell you about the most popular trends from past. Kitch or art? Let's see. 

1. Mini skirts

Girls and... women loved them. Strong colours and diffrents materials. Perfect with high heels or very popular in 80s Reebok shoes. Often wearing with pair of leggins (in other neon colour). 

2. Oversized Tops

For example sweaters, sweatshirts and T-shirts in really big size. Hot with miniskirts or leggins. It's extremely popular today, too. We can wear oversize sweaters all time - it's really comfortable. 

3. Leg Warmers

Something that I can't understand. Wearing them don't have many sense. They were very popular with leggins. Rather sport style, but girls wore them with high heels, too.

4. Madonna style

80s was time of fashion icon. Madonna is one of them. She was an inspiration to many people. Bodysuit, high-waisted jeans, pearls. It's a small part of thing that she made popular. 

5. Neon outfits

Neon colours is my first think about 80s. Fuchsia was extremely popular. Dresses, jackets or even trousers. All clothes in one, neon colour? Why not?! 80s were totally crazy :)

Thank you for your time.

Trends that aren't invited to 2018

Week ago I told you about best trends for 2018 (HERE). Today I'm gonna tell you about "out" trends.

1. Corset

In last season we can wear corset with everything. For example t-shirt or even sweatshirt. Corset could make your outfit more special and trendy. Not this year.

2. Bomber jacket

We could wear this jacket with literally everything. Perfect for elegant and sport looks. This time we have to forget about this type of jacket. Bomber jacket isn't chic like (the most trendy in this season) trench.

3. Millennial pink in total look

One of bloggers (and mine) favourite colors. So what's wrong? This kind of pink is pastel and we associate it with candy and cotton candy. Something for little girls, not for elegant women.

4. Pom-poms

First idea - basket bag with colourful pom-poms. Do you remember sweatshirts in this style? This trend is "out" and I'm happy about it.

5. Logos

Gucci t-shirts was extremely popular last spring and summer. We had Levi's logo, too. In 2018 we have to forget about big logos and writings. We are going to wear simple t-shirts - it sounds good to me.

Until next time :)

Before it happened

Hi guys! I am writing this one, because I want to tell you a bit more before I start full steam ahead.

In my earlier post I told you I’m going to write about an adventure. So what exactly was that ? Maybe some of you thought that I flew to the moon or something like this, but…No.

I was a part of project called “Blue School”. It was 2 months cruise from Szczecin to the Canary Islands. It sounds like nothing special till you know that the ship crew was composed mostly of teenagers. There were only a few adults. After long and complicated recruitment I get in! From my point of view it was like winning the lottery.

I was really scared but excited. There was the most dangerous and the most amazing adventure of my life before me. Finally came the day of embarkation. I packed my bags and want to the place where ‘Fryderyk Chopin’ was waiting. It was the best day of my life!

That’s all for today. Till the next time!
