Unpopular opinions... Don't like summer?
The summer: with its little beaches and its mojitos, with its songs, with its travel agency catalog populating your Instagram TL... it is THE ideal of collective happiness.
Who has the balls to contradict “summer is the best time of the year!”? - because today we give voice to the thousands who suffer from it in silence, under the pressure of being canceled on networks. Children of Winter, raise your voice and bring to light your opinion about the “summer scam”.
ON YOUR STAND, HEATED LEGION
Let's see, it's inevitable. Is he only time of the year where we have vacations and where the "I can't take it anymore, I need to rest" It is understood... even by your bosses.
But there are a series of myths that we put into our heads every May/June and that, as soon as the holidays arrive, they fall like an umbrella that has not been properly nailed into the sand of Peñíscola:
1. "IT'S GOOD WEATHER"
No, little one; 40ºC 🌡in the shade is not 'good weather'. It's the set of Mad Max, Greta's nightmare when she takes too much organic salmorejo or a biblical plague... but it's not a good time. Not being able to step onto the street between 09:00 and 20:00 and being sick and melted... is not for people educated in values.
2. "IT IS GREAT ON THE BEACH"
With the sand, the saltpeter, the algae... Better to abandon the dignity of youth to indulge in the small whims of maturity such as the umbrella and the folding chair in which we were ashamed to see our grandmothers as children. And... at what point did a folding chair in the sand become synonymous with summer Deluxe?
3. "DISCONNECT"
You disconnect from your life, but you “connect” to that of others. How bad the posture is! and spend all day gossiping about the photos that people (and yourself) take in paradisiacal coves, on boats rented for a day, in exclusive hotels in Ibiza,... a lot of broken onlyfans piggy bank and a lot of waste and investment in sugardaddys in these months is what we see out there. And how envious it inevitably is to gossip about all this on social networks.
4. "YOU ARE MORE RELAXED"
Unless you have the agenda planned to the minute to take advantage of that trip you've dreamed of all year, the suitcase packed like Sudoku to get through the Ryanair filter... and if you're going with family and/or friends... well, everything except disconnection and Relax, you already know.
5. "IMPROVISAS PLANES"
Oh yeah? Tell me more! 😏 Do you want to have a paella at the beach bar without a reservation?; Or grab a spot on the beach without getting up early? Or perhaps... did you intend to take a getaway to Cádiz this weekend without having contracted Airbnb 3 months in advance?
6. "YOU TRAVEL"
...at the worst time of the year where that idyllic cove in Croatia that you saw on Instagram is packed with a crowd of people taking the same photo. And your old favorite sites are more expensive and more packed than ever just because.
7. "YOU EAT LIGHT AND FRESH"
The bravas re-fried, light-light. The four jugs of sangria that you put between your chest and back every afternoon and the regulation pizza on Fridays... they are super fresh and #realfood. 😜
8. "YOU FALL IN LOVE"
That's not a love story.
You make excuses like: 'no one here knows me, my body is great (typical shrimp thing that you then throw your head away from), the night confuses me'... although Caribe Mix tells you otherwise, the reality is that in summer You throw standards to the ground.
9. "YOU ARE WITH THE HANDSOME UP"
And your skin charred by the sun... and your legs full of bites from the army of tiger mosquitoes. Chafing, acne breakouts, sunstroke, frizzy hair from the beach and pool... You look handsome all year round, but in the summer you only SUFFER.
10. "YOU GET BROWN"
It seems as if we live in a tanorexic country where your summer pantone reflects your social status. The darker and faster you hit an NPF color, the more famous you are. And people look at you badly when you take off your shirt on the first day and look dazzling... and they look sorry for you when you return to the office just as white as you left.
If you are one of those who burn easily, we take the opportunity to include our usual commercial wedge: with 🌞 Handsomefyer SUN with SPF 50 you don't have to choose between a milky white face or a socarrat of skin: you look good color, you protect yourself from the sun and you respect fish and corals. Be cool with yourself (but without suffering like the gentlemen on TV).
P.s: and a final tip to avoid even more unwanted consequences of sports in summer...
HANDSOMEFYER SUN
All-in-1 creamer for plans in the sun. Hides pores, smoothes wrinkles, moisturizes, evens skin tone and SPF 50.
ON STAND, HOT LEGION
In short, there is life beyond the stereotype of the beach summer and if you want it is possible to have a vacation without the 40ºC in August. Other times, other plans, less social pressure and less jostling in the Aquapark queue are possible.
Up and cheers also to those who seek alternative summers and the right to stay pale in summer. Let's claim the right of those who do not want to take communion with a towel in the burning sand and prefer to stay alone in the city, to travel to areas where you wear a coat in August... zero social pressures and, ultimately, more of what makes everyone happy. 😉

We do cool right!
