Hello! Welcome to another fabulous post from Looks of the Week! Yesterday I read some fantastic news for anyone with vision problems! It turns out that a group of researchers, Japanese I think, are developing a medicine that will help people who have trouble seeing up close! The medicine, which comes in the form of drops, works a small miracle! When people use these drops, they will be able to see normally, without any problems, for the next 10 hours, without needing glasses to see close up! And what's even more wonderful is that these drops will be launched at the end of this year, so the future is already here! But even more wonderful are these 5 looks I have to show you. You can see them up close here on the blog. They have no contraindications and are good for your vision for more than 10 hours straight! I hope you like them and that they inspire you!

Hello! Welcome, my dear friends and readers!
This post was inspired by Simulation Theory, according to which what we call ‘reality’ may not be real, but rather a virtual reality, a simulation created by a Higher Intelligence. We would thus be part of an ultra-sophisticated computer programme. This Theory was developed taking into account recent discoveries in the field of Quantum Physics. Horrible, I know!😭
Think with me: what if the human habit of watching television were more than just a distraction, more than an entertainment? But in truth, this screen we watch is a metaphor for the greatest screen of all: God's gaze upon us. We are characters in motion, living, loving, producing, making mistakes, all before an invisible audience. Perhaps the whole world is a great cosmic spectacle, where each life is a distinct channel, each destiny a narrative that unfolds at the same time. And perhaps God is not so far away, but within us - the viewer of this great screen and the protagonist merged into the same person.*
If so, free will is not an illusion. We humans make choices, we walk paths, we decide between Good and Evil, between Light and Shadow. But it is God who breathes in these choices, it is He who reveals Himself in our gestures, in our words, in our silences. When we speak, when we read, when we write, perhaps it is only God's language flowing through our humanity, shaped by the choices we have made. In a raw way, we humans only make choices, everything else is God within us. It is horrible to think that we are so little in this life! A kind of Artificial Intelligence living inside us😭(The distant particle that quantum physics talks about) And so, God builds His Work through us!
And yet, one conviction remains with me: what we experience is not life, but death. A waiting room between different worlds. Because life, true life, cannot be just this, this routine, this world limited by pain, wars, masks. Life, I think, has to be something infinitely greater and more meaningful, it has to have something that transcends the screen where we move. What we call life may be just a shadow, an intermittence, the preparation for an awakening that we do not yet know.
Perhaps this big screen we inhabit is just a projection of a higher reality. Perhaps death, which we fear so much, is just the opening of doors to true Life, where we finally discover who we are and why we exist, when we encounter the particle with which we are entangled: God!
As the soundtrack for this post, I chose a song by my favourite band, Muse, called ‘Simulation Theory.’ This song addresses precisely the hypothesis that we live in a reality controlled by someone, whom I identify as God, who is not the same identity identified in the video - They, supposedly an earthly entity. I consider it a divine entity.
Olá! Bem-vindos a mais um fabuloso post dos Looks da Semana! No último post falei sobre os perigos do Facebook, um alerta para os mais distraídos. Fui surpreendida com os vossos comentários, descobri que não estou sózinha nesta preocupação. Muitas pessoas já estão a desistir das redes sociais - Facebook, Instagram e até o Linkedin - A IA que gere os algoritmos tornou-se numa máquina de manipulação, conduzindo-nos a conteúdos falsos e perigosos. O que nos devia unir, está neste momento a dividir-nos, a alimentar ódios e a servir interesses obscuros. Basta ler comentários de publicações mais populares e são só insultos, agressividade, ódio, pois é isto que gera cliques e lucro para as plataformas. Talvez a verdadeira liberdade esteja em desligar de todo este lixo! Isto não é saudável! Mas verdadeiramente saudável são estes 5 looks maravilhosos que tenho para vos apresentar, foram escolhidos por mim sem recurso a qualquer algoritmo manipulador dos vossos gostos. Aqui podem gostar ou desgostar, têm toda a liberdade para o fazer! Inspirem-se!
Hello! Welcome to another fabulous post from Looks of the Week! In my last post, I talked about the dangers of Facebook, a warning for the more distracted among us. I was surprised by your comments and discovered that I am not alone in this concern. Many people are already giving up on social media - Facebook, Instagram, and even LinkedIn - The AI that manages the algorithms has become a manipulation machine, leading us to false and dangerous content. What should unite us is currently dividing us, fuelling hatred and serving obscure interests. Just read the comments on the most popular posts and you will find nothing but insults, aggression, and hatred, because this is what generates clicks and profit for the platforms. Perhaps true freedom lies in disconnecting from all this rubbish! This is not healthy! But what is truly healthy are these five wonderful looks that I have to show you, chosen by me without resorting to any algorithm that manipulates your tastes. Here you can like or dislike them, you have complete freedom to do so! Be inspired!

This lace top is very classy, whether worn casually or in a more chic way! There is no hidden agenda here, just a sincere desire to show you the many possibilities of wearing a piece of clothing, because that is my genuine wish!
Olá! Bem-vindos meus caros amigos e leitores. Como têm passado? Neste post, vou alertar-vos para um perigo invisível. Então, vivemos numa era em que as redes sociais, em especial o Facebook, deixaram de ser apenas espaços de partilha de momentos e conversas com amigos. Hoje, o que vemos no nosso feed já não resulta da nossa procura, mas da poderosa Inteligência Artificial que decide, silenciosamente, o que devemos ver. Esta máquina não apenas conhece os nossos gostos, mas também os nossos receios - e é justamente aí que reside todo o perigo.
Hello! Welcome, my dear friends and readers. How have you been? In this post, I am going to warn you about an invisible danger. We live in an era where social media, especially Facebook, is no longer just a place to share moments and conversations with friends. Today, what we see in our feed is no longer the result of our searches, but of powerful Artificial Intelligence that silently decides what we should see. This machine not only knows our tastes, but also our fears — and that is precisely where the danger lies.
If we are not careful, we run the risk of living in a filtered reality, tailored to manipulate opinions, behaviours and even emotions. It is urgent to realise that not everything that appears to us is spontaneous; often, it is a reflection of interests that are not our own.
But now let's change the subject! Let's put aside manipulation and distorted reality and focus on something that brings us lightness: inspiration. I leave you with a wonderful look that carries only good vibes and a feeling of freedom, because fashion, unlike algorithms, should liberate us and not attack us!
Olá! Bem-vindos a mais um fabuloso post dos Looks da Semana! Nos últimos dias, Portugal tem vivido o drama dos fogos florestais, de norte a sul, muitos são os fogos fora de controlo. Com altas temperaturas e o vento forte estão reunidas as condições para a criação de cenários dantescos. Há famílias exaustas, a protegerem os seus bens e animais, num retrato que faz doer a alma. Ano após ano esta calamidade repete-se. Há quem diga, e eu partilho essa opinião, que muitos destes incêndios têm mão criminosa. Essa suspeita aumenta o sentimento de impunidade. Mas hoje, por mais duro que seja, vamos mudar de assunto, não esquecendo o que está a acontecer, mas para trazer esperança no meio deste caos. Apresento-vos 5 looks para "provocar" a vossa imaginação, escolhidos com carinho para vos inspirar e mostrar que a moda também pode ser terapêutica, acalmando a mente e transmitindo boas sensações!
Hello! Welcome to another fabulous post from Looks of the Week! In recent days, Portugal has been experiencing the drama of forest fires, from north to south, with many fires out of control. High temperatures and strong winds have created the conditions for a hellish scenario. Families are exhausted, protecting their possessions and animals, in a scene that breaks the heart. Year after year, this calamity repeats itself. Some say, and I share this opinion, that many of these fires are the result of arson. This suspicion increases the feeling of impunity. But today, as hard as it may be, let's change the subject, not forgetting what is happening, but to bring hope in the midst of this chaos. Here are 5 looks to spark your imagination, chosen with care to inspire you and show you that fashion can also be therapeutic, calming the mind and conveying good feelings!

Just thinking that this blouse is from 2014 and looks like new, I am amazed at how time flies. And it's only been, lol, 11 years!!! Which proves that fashion is cyclical and that there's nothing wrong with wearing it just because it's not from this year's collection!
Olá! Bem-vindos meus caros leitores e amigos! Recentemente o cavaleiro tauromáquico Marco Tenório Bastinhas surpreendeu os seus seguidores ao anunciar, nas suas redes sociais, que não iria participar em nenhuma corrida esta temporada. A decisão não está ligada a questões profissionais ou físicas, mas sim a um motivo muito mais profundo e sensível, o cavaleiro revelou estar a enfrentar uma depressão profunda, admitindo que já teve pensamentos suicídas.
Hello! Welcome, dear readers and friends! Recently, bullfighter Marco Tenório Bastinhas surprised his followers by announcing on social media that he would not be participating in any bullfights this season. The decision is not related to professional or physical issues, but rather to a much deeper and more sensitive reason. The bullfighter revealed that he is facing deep depression, admitting that he has had suicidal thoughts.
At first glance, it may seem like a bitter irony. A man accustomed to facing the fierce bull in the arena with skill and courage shows himself to be vulnerable in the face of an invisible enemy. However, this apparent contradiction reveals an essential truth: strength does not lie in never falling, but in recognising when you need help!
Marco Tenório Bastinhas belongs to one of Portugal's best-known and wealthiest families, proving that mental health does not choose its victims based on social status, wealth or appearance. Depression is not a lack of desire to work. It is a serious, incapacitating and painful illness that can cause people to lose their will to live.
Marco's courage in exposing his vulnerability is a giant step towards ending the silence and stigma surrounding mental illness. By recognising that something is wrong and asking for help, he sets a valuable example: the road to recovery begins with acceptance and asking for help.
I wish Marco, during this break, a speedy recovery, and that his story reminds us that the most difficult battle is often the one we fight within ourselves!
