It's been four months since I started blogging six days a week, and I'm now entering the fifth month!
I think it would be good to continue to have a lot of Silk-like excitement and interesting content! But sometimes I'd like to have a break from the excitement!
However, I still find myself focusing on studying silk these days.
Someday, I'll be wondering what books I've read and what audiobooks I'm listening to .
What movies have you watched? What Netflix show are you hooked on?
I would also like to write about my time as a student or when I lived abroad.
It seems like the coronavirus is coming to an end all over the world, so a business trip abroad or a short trip nearby might be a good idea.
Stay tuned! Lol
Well, today...
There were so many people in Kamakura
I also saw cars with license plates from all over Japan.
The proprietress of the Mikawaya restaurant next door told me, "Today is the peak day for visitors. It's usually May 3rd, but this year it's today."
I was standing at the store in a tank top under the early summer sunshine.
I was able to meet many customers today, and thanks to you, it was another good day.
Thank you ♪
Recently, I've been getting a lot of pop-ups asking, "Does this have UV enabled?"
In particular, they point to silk arm covers and 100% silk gloves.
That's right. With the sun still shining brightly these days, one thing we really need to be careful of when going out is blocking out UV rays, so buying items that block UV rays kills two birds with one stone!
Silk (cocoons) have the ability to protect silkworms from UV rays, so they can protect themselves from them. Therefore, it is said that silk can be expected to have a "UV cut effect of natural fibers."
I think I wrote about this on my blog (or did I?), but silk not only protects against UV rays, it also has the ability to inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, which causes spots.
It is said to prevent skin deterioration such as age spots and wrinkles caused by sunburn and UV rays. (Silk is truly a divine material! It's so wonderful.)
Tyrosinase is an enzyme that oxidizes the amino acid (tyrosine) to produce melanin. It is activated by ultraviolet rays, other external stress, allergies, lack of sleep, aging, etc., and produces excess melanin, which causes spots and freckles.
It has been confirmed by highly esteemed researchers that silk has the effect of inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase!
Silk is really amazing, isn't it?
I've written about how amazing silk is in winter so much that it really touches my heart, but I have to say that it's the best material, showing its amazingness in spring and the coming seasons, and in summer too.
Tomorrow, I will be standing at the front of the store shouting loudly to tell as many people as possible about the greatness of silk.
Today, I felt very sad that most people only think of silk as something that is expensive.
Although our power is small, we will not stop our grassroots movement of "Silk is amazing and wonderful"! We will continue to spread the word about the greatness of silk in various ways so that fewer people will lose out by not knowing about it.
Silk is the best! Love Silk
