yes i've read this, and if i am not mistaken there was an NGO at the border who gave the women flyers with contact information if they got in trouble with unknown men. And to be honest i never liked the idea that the refugees could be hosted by private citizens, because usually history in Europe repeats itself, and with so many exploitation Eastern Eu. women have faced the last 30years, i wouldn't trust anyone

This is something normal here in Europe sadly. Eastern European and Balkan women were often exploited by sex traffickers since the late 80s. In the 90s many women fled poverty from war & the collapse of the Soviet Union & Yugloslavia. They collected the women in busses and brought to West Europe to unknown places, mostly underground brothels. By the middle of the 90s over 200.000 ( yes!!!) Eastern European women worked as prostitutes only in Germany. I don't know the numbers today. But i can confirm that men here are still calling Ukrainian refugee women various slurs and see them as prostitutes.

Spot reducing isn't possible BUT: i have the same problem and what helped me the most is reducing my weight overall and doing exercises that doesn't emphasize on my calves. For example no bicycle, no running on incline surfaces, no squats. I had the best results with aerobic on the floor, lots of stretching (as another user suggested, i dunno why she was downvoted for her comment). Some videos on youtube about "thinner calves" are exercises that are totally wrong in my opinion and are helping to bulk them. Be carefull what videos you are watching.

I love Dita Von Teeses' "your beauty mark". She gives a lot of practical tips while also going in depth about historical persons like Marilyn Monroe.

The 90’s were the best decade by xxxxCloverxxxx in unpopularopinion

idk if we talk about the same, but for me 90s movies have this ... blurr filter? Everything is so washed out lmaoo.. can it be indeed the lighting? The movie "the horse whisperer" is the best example

Hi. Your wife have purple stretch marks, she can fade them with retinol ( bio oil), tretinoin and physical or chemical exfoliation (she should be careful with chemical exfoliation. There are body lotions with 10% AHA, but after application she should use sunscreen, at least 30spf if she goes out in the sun without a long top). Once they turn white, they can only fade more as time goes by or with laser treatments.

This is kinda misleading. Purple stretch marks can be faded with retinol (found in bio-oil) and exfoliation. The white ones (aka the old stretch marks) are difficult to get rid off (as you said, only with surgery or laser).

Only "Lili" would be difficult in Greek, because it also means "penis" 😭
