My favorite brands depend on what we are talking about. If we are talking about clothes, my favorite brand is Marks&Spencer because their sizes fit me perfectly. If we are talking about shoes, Ecco is the best for me, they are so comfortable, stylish and high quality. Cosmetics are the next part, and here I have a few different favorites depending on the part of the body. For example, I prefer Clinique serum, face/eye cream and face soap, Bobby Brown eyebrow pencil, and Mac eyelash mascara. My favorite shampoo is from Lush brand, conditioner – Bed Head. And at the end, a L’Occitane or Lush body shower. That’s almost all. So you can see that I need to run around various shops to have all these products. Fortunately, I like shopping.

Favourite Restaurant
My favourite foods are sushi and ramen. So my favourite restaurant is the one where they serve sushi. I live in Poland, in Warsaw, the best ramen is in my district, in the restaurant “Ochota na Sushi”. They have good sushi too. But the best sushi for me is in “Kiseki by Alon” (I don’t eat ramen there, so I can’t say anything about it). This is about my town. I have a lot of favourite restaurants in other cities I’ve ever visited, but that’s another story.
The Book I Read Over and Over Again
What book could you read over and over again?
I have been reading “Dandelion Wine” by Ray Bradbury all my life and always find something new in it. The book has changed together with me. Sometimes, I noticed in it that I felt was not there before and wonder how it could be like that. And suddenly, I began to understand other words and thoughts that had always seemed different. Thus, I like to go back to the book to learn something new and discover another change in myself. In short, this book is like good wine- the older, the better.

Pandemic
Daily writing prompt
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? Easy. I am a foreign language teacher for adults. Before Covid-19, I taught people in person; during the pandemic – online. Admittedly, I have had to change my teaching methods and learn many new ways. It has been a development, and I am happy with that.

Tatoo
What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?
If I decided to have a tattoo, it would be a thistle maybe on my shoulder. Why thistle? Because it is the flower of Scotland. I love all related to Scotland – a wonderful country with wonderful people, cities, castles, forests, rivers, bridges, lakes, islands, kitchen (yes, kitchen), history, traditions etc.
I know that Cragside is in England, not in Scotland. When I visit the UK (at least once a year), my plane lands in Edinburgh, and I am never tired of exploring this city. In September last year, I visited Cragside, one more pearl on my favourite place map. I enjoy the memories of that trip to this day.
