Planning new travels. Feels good 🩷

My mom worked at a software house and, in the 90s, she traveled between companies to train employees on how to use Windows and Microsoft’s new software suites. She loved it. She later left everything to help with my dad’s business, which was in a completely different field. She always missed tech, but with two kids, she couldn’t travel the world anymore. Now I’m in Bitcoin, and I feel like the circle is complete. 😭❤️

I just paid my lunch with your zaps!!! 😭🫶 Love you guys!

The Mediterranean diet is considered the best in the world. it’s not just “food from the Mediterranean sea” but follows specific principles. Five years ago, I went to the best nutritionist in my town in Italy to learn how to fuel my body properly. I followed her guidance for a year, and it changed my life. I don't follow it everyday now but understanding what we eat and why made all the difference. I’m 1.75m tall, with a normal weight. A balanced main meal for me includes: Lunch/Dinner - 100g of animal protein - 100g of cooked vegetables (easier to digest but less nutrient-dense) - 100g of raw vegetables (more nutrients but harder to digest) - 70-80g of carbs – preferably whole wheat pasta or sourdough bread 2-3 times a week, replace animal protein with legumes, ideally for dinner. Snacks (mid-morning & afternoon): - A fruit (great nutrients but high in sugar) + nuts (helps slow sugar absorption and prevent blood sugar spikes). Breakfast (I prefer sweet options): - Low-fat yogurt with oats & nuts + fruit or honey OR sourdough bread with homemade sugar-free jam, a protein-rich drink (raw milk, soy milk, almond milk etc) The key is BALANCE: ensuring all nutrients are present in the right amounts. TIPS: - Eat pasta in the evening. Contrary to popular belief, it helps with better sleep. A moderate portion (70-80g) paired with raw veggies first, plus cooked veggies or homemade sauce, makes for an ideal meal. - Eat the raw veggies before your meal. They aid digestion and help you feel full, reducing overeating. - Eat slowly. It takes at least 20 minutes for your brain to receive satiety signals. If you feel full while eating, you've ALREADY eaten too much. That's how you get FAT. - Eat in a calm setting. Avoid standing in front of the fridge or mindlessly snacking. Your body may eat, but if your brain doesn’t register the moment, you won’t feel satisfied and will crave more. - Don’t sacrifice social life. Restricting yourself too much leads to frustration and bingeing. Choose places with healthier options, like bruschetta with tomatoes or veggie platters instead of chips. Indulging in veggies or fruit isn’t really a "cheat meal." - Snacks are essential. The real key to weight management is boosting metabolism. Waiting too long between meals leads to cravings and greater fat storage. - Healthy fats (olive oil & avocado) are great, but better don’t mix them. If you use olive oil, skip the avocado, and vice versa. - The Mediterranean diet is not just “what people eat in the Mediterranean.” It has clear principles, like those listed above. Don't get confused. You can have a Mediterranean diet everywhere in the world. - Processed food is what harms you. Even if it's labeled "light," if it has a long list of ingredients, it’s not good. The fewer ingredients, the better. - What about wine? Like any beverage that isn't water, the less you drink, the better. There’s no strict rule, but wine is definitely a better choice than soda. - Don’t skip meals or snacks. Eating at regular intervals keeps your metabolism active, preventing energy dips and excessive hunger that can lead to overeating later. A well-balanced meal routine helps your body burn calories more efficiently. - Pizza? Like any cheat meal, it's totally fine in moderation. Compared to other "cheat meals", it can be made healthier by choosing quality ingredients. As always, what matters most is portion size and what you put on it. Life is long, and you're building your future. Some diets may give short-term results, but the Mediterranean diet keeps your metabolism active, promotes variety, adapts to changing tastes, and supports social life. That’s why it’s the best in the world.

Women need other women in their lives who think they are amazing. no competition, no jealousy, no hate, just supporting each other 🩷

The moment you start buying drugs in bitcoin is when you actually tell Richard Nixon to fuck off

When I enter Nostr, I don't feel like talking about bitcoin. I feel like everyone is already using it. It is already a thing. It is relaxing and pleasant 🥹

I hate tidying up, but I’m a mess and I HATE MESS lol 🥹 So I set myself a rule: 20 minutes a day, always something, always different. I know it sounds basic, especially for those with kids, but it helped me so much to avoid getting overwhelmed and to sneak in little breaks during the day. It’s becoming an habit. I was away for a week, completely messed up my flow, and now I’m trying to get back on track ahah What about you?

When we're done, when we've made it, when talking about bitcoin is no longer an event and no one looks at you funny, when we’ll write on Nostr like we do on centralized platforms, always remember who was there in the beginning when it was a crazy, criminal thing. We were there, these girls were. I love these bitches 🩷

You can't have a girls' bitcoin meetup without talking about the women who have used this technology to empower themselves and help others. This month it was all about Roya Mahboob 🩷 such an inspiration. I’m so grateful for this community I just can’t believe it’s real Bitcoin Bitches are just the best 🫰 @Lucia @Fiammetta @danielabrozzoni @Turtlecute @npub1ah3c...t0cy

How to properly make coffee with a moka pot 🇮🇹 (things even most Italians dont know) = Keep the lid open. This prevents condensation from forming and dripping back into the coffee, which would alter its flavor. It also allows you to monitor the brewing process and stop it at the right moment. Store coffee in the freezer. This helps preserve its freshness and aroma for a longer time. Fill the water just below the safety valve. If steam starts escaping before the coffee begins to flow, the brewing process is compromised, resulting in poor-quality coffee. Do not press the coffee in the filter. The ground coffee should be evenly distributed but left loose, not compacted, to ensure proper water flow and optimal extraction. Stop brewing at the right moment. When the coffee stops flowing smoothly and you see bubbling, what is coming out is no longer coffee but overheated water with residues. If the coffee rises all the way to the rim, the extraction has gone too far, negatively affecting the taste. Prego ❤️

Girl math: if you save in Bitcoin, future-you gets a raise

I’m from a small town in Italy, and if you think longevity comes from steaks and relentless self-discipline, think again. Here people drink wine daily, eat carbs without guilt, and yet most live well into their 90s. Maybe the real villains aren’t carbs, but stress and isolation.

I never talk about bitcoin with my friends. I go out, we talk about life, they pay in fiat and I give them bitcoin. There's nothing to say when you’re using an alternative economic system.

Nostr is cool

Be kind on the road

I am Italian, of course I will criticize you for cappuccino after 11am and then eat milk and chocolate cereal at dinner time like IDGAF. ❤️

People do stupid shit to monetize on social media when on Nostr you can monetize constructive and nice humble thoughts. Make it make sense. Oh, hi 🩷
