Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Carmina's New Haircut

Carmina was able to cut her own hair after one year and half not getting a proper haircut. At first I was hesitant to cut my long hair. After watching so many videos seeing people cut their own hair. It gave me some courage to do it on my own. I had a new pair of scissors, rubber bands to tie my hair and followed what I saw online. The tips I saw was to iron you're hair out to make sure it is was straight. I had used a flat ironed and made sure it was straight enough. I had combed my hair. It was advised to rubber band your hair at the end. I did that and yet yes we looked funny. I had a measuring tape to make sure it was the same length.  Of course everyone at home was asking me if I was for real that I will cut my own hair. Actually I wasn't planning to do it. Yet I was getting frustrated seeing my ends not even and for me my hair grows longer from the back. After I took a shower I saw my ends uneven and decided to cut it while it was still wet. I had used my bl...
