I know it’s sudden, but have you ever heard of a cosmetic company called “Ahavi Cosmetics”?
It’s a cosmetics company that I used to work with in the past, and I’d like to introduce them to you.
Since I’m going to introduce a product, you might think I’m talking about a project or an affiliate, but I’m not (lol).
The product looks like this.
The website is here. (Before I knew it, the website was renewed and cleaned up)
The product lineup is mainly basic skin care products. The main products are basic skin care products.
The main products are basic skin care products, such as facial cleanser, toner, and serum.
They also have primer and hair care products.
Skin care is a field that makes me think a lot about health.
On the inside of the body, in other words, there are organs that play important roles such as the brain, heart, and intestines that are important for survival.
Imagine this. Imagine that your heart is protruding from the surface of your body. Imagine it popping out on your shoulder (lol). It’s hard to get hit. If you get sunburned, you’re in trouble. It is the skin that protects the body from external hazards on the outermost front line. In Shogi, it is the “step”. (Why did I use Shogi?).
If the skin on the front line were to be wiped out, the entire body would be in serious trouble.
Therefore, the skin must be in a healthy state.
The human body is a mass of cells, and skin is also a mass of cells.
In order for the cells to be healthy, the blood must deliver nutrients, water, and oxygen to the cells in a normal and uninterrupted manner.
Since skin cells are the outermost part of the body, blood must flow normally to every detail of the body.
Then, clean blood needs to flow throughout the body.
Blood circulation also needs to be improved.
To do this, we must also pay attention to our body temperature.
It’s all about governance. Let’s say the body is a country. Each cell is a people. Thinking about health means taking a leadership role in improving the lives of the people who form the body.
That’s why the skin, which is formed by the outermost cells of the people, is the part of the body where the state of health is most likely to show up.
You look pale.
The skin is a mirror of one’s health.
Therefore, the first step in skin care is physical health.
Therefore, the idea and philosophy of AHVY cosmetics is not to have products play a leading role in skin care, but to help skin that is out of balance to regain its original balance.
→Please refer to this page “What is Ahavi Cosmetics” on our website.
When it comes to skincare, Ahavi Cosmetics does not play a leading role, but faces the problems of people and their skin with a spirit of being close to them.
The skin is the surface of the body, and the face is the most important part of a person’s personality, so it is not good for the psyche to be troubled.
If you or someone around you, such as a family or friend or acquaintance, is feeling depressed, why don’t you consult with Ahavi Cosmetics? It could be the manufacturer of the product or the person in charge of the store that carries it.
I learned for the first time that on August 15, 1945, there were people who sailed on suicide missions from Oita after listening to the broadcast.
I heard that 11 suicide planes took off.
The comet bomber led by Lieutenant General Ugaki (55 years old at the time), Commander-in-Chief of the 5th Air Fleet. Seventeen people between the ages of 19 and 24 who followed Lieutenant General Ugaki lost their lives, according to the report.
I learned this fact at the Gokoku Shrine in Oita City, Oita Prefecture.
The war was over before we could go to war.
There are people who sailed ahead of us. They may have thought that they could not survive alone.
A terrible fact. I couldn’t find the words.
With today’s values, more than 70 years have passed since the end of the war, and it is impossible to understand the feelings of the people involved.
I don’t think I can, because I live in the present day.
I don’t know what it would be like to be born at that time, to be placed in an environment with the values of Japan at that time, to be educated, to go to war, and to feel the atmosphere of that place… I don’t know.
Now, I would answer with a resounding “NO”.
However, I decided to keep in mind that there were people like that.
This blog is written by Sarutanuki with some modifications from a post on Facebook in 2016. Here is the text.
It seems to have snowed for the first time in Hokkaido, and it also snowed a lot.
I like HY, a band group from Okinawa.
They have a song called “Hatsuyuki”.
Here are some of the lyrics.
Like the snow falling one by one, I wonder if I can leave proof of my life
Why does my heart feel so warm in a town where the sky is all white?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Proof of life
When I was in my teens or twenties, when I had a lot of time, I used to think about these things a lot.
I was reminded by Masami Nagasawa that I don’t think about such things these days. I was reminded of this by Masami Nagasawa and Kiri in “Sanadamaru.
When Nobushige was wondering whether to join the Osaka battle, Kiri said to him.
“What were you born for?
“The important thing is that someone wants you.
“What have you done?
What have you left behind?
What have you left behind that proves you’ve made it in this world?
…Proof.
I don’t want to go down in history.
I’ll keep thinking about it.
I’m going to keep thinking about it.
The above is what I wrote on Facebook five years ago, when NHK was airing the historical drama “Sanadamaru”. It’s been five years already. So fast! This passage of time also makes me think.
At that time, I wrote that I had stopped thinking about the proof of my life, but not anymore.
I am about to turn 40 this year. I am now more aware that I am at the turning point of my life.
The reason why I started writing this blog is because I want to leave something behind. This is also the starting point.
I would like to write down what I feel, what I think, what I experience, what I practice every day… If I can think of even the smallest thing as an “awareness,” I would like to leave it behind.
I hope it will be useful to someone else, or become a source of comfort.
Dai no Daiboken” was serialized in the weekly Shonen Jump magazine when I was a child.
The manga was modeled after the video game blockbuster software Dragon Quest.
It was also animated at the time, and the anime is still being aired today.
It starts every Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. on the TV Tokyo network.
As I had a day off from work, I woke up slowly in the morning, and when I turned on the TV to get up, it was a good start.
I watch it with nostalgia for my childhood.
In the commercial, Daigo from Chidori, who is of the same generation as me, shouts, “AvanStrash! in the commercial.
(laughs) Now, to get to the point, I’d like to introduce a line that the character Crocodyne said in the February 6th episode that really got to me.
But first, what kind of guy is Crocodyne? If you’re wondering what kind of person Crocodyne is, please check out the official website of the anime.
Crocodyne originally appeared as an enemy to the main character, Dai, and his friends, but after fighting with Dai and his friends, he changed his mind and became a helpful character.
Yesterday’s enemy is today’s friend.
And now, back to the main topic.
This is what he said to me.
I believe that a man’s value is determined by how much he can let go of the past. Even if it means being humiliated and despised by everyone, it’s okay to walk the path you believe in.
Even though I’m an old man now, I felt it in my heart.
Is this a message to the generation that reads shonen manga? I thought, lol.
Let go of the obsessions of the past. I think this is something that we have to face as we get older.
You can’t keep dragging your past failures behind you.
On the other hand, we should not stop growing by clinging to past glories.
Nor should we use our age as an excuse.
I feel that he taught me the importance of not giving up and not becoming corrupt, of challenging myself to new things such as study and experience, and of continuing to work tirelessly to acquire new knowledge and values.
The other day, on Sunday, January 31, at the unexpected time of 16:00 in the evening, a special edition of TV Tokyo’s economic news program “World Business Satellite”, commonly known as “WBS”, was being broadcast.
It has been more than a year since the new coronavirus infection affected Japan. The content of the program was to look back at the past year and what should be done in the future.
What impressed me was a comment made by Mr. Hideto Fujino, President and Chief Investment Officer of Leos Capital Works Corporation, who appeared as a guest.
Be the cockroach”.
This was a message to the corporate executives who are being forced into difficult management situations by the Corona disaster.
I heard that Mr. Fujino encourages other business owners around him to do the same.
The literal translation is, “Be a cockroach.
It’s a swear word, but in this world of emergency, we need to be like cockroaches.
But in this time of crisis, the message is, “Survive like a cockroach! That’s the message.
I’m impressed.
The cockroach is a creature that has survived since the formation of the earth, through tectonic changes, global warming, ice ages, and various other environments, without becoming extinct.
With this in mind, “Be the cockroach.
The first step is to survive. We can make up for it later.
Focus on this first! That’s right.
The lyrics of SMAP’s “The Naked King” suddenly came to my mind.
I suddenly thought of the lyrics of SMAP’s “The Naked King”: “Let’s be strong and cheerful.
It may be difficult to be cheerful right away.
So, let’s be “strong and cheerful” first, and then gradually become cheerful.
Or, we can act cheerfully, and by acting cheerfully, we can become strong and reluctant.
