這兩年來我發現我開始喜歡一些,以前從來不願意入眼的顏色,像是白色、裸色、水藍色,還有綠色。去年我講過一堂簡易色彩學的課程,其中綠色代表著自由、和平與安全感,我用了一位知名影集的角色來代表這個顏色—慾望城市的夏綠蒂,優雅穩重,嚮往家庭,以及最識大體(雖然偶爾也會小歇斯底里,女人嘛)。
想到台灣的夏天也很快地就聯想到綠色,鬱鬱蔥蔥的。不過夏天對我來說就是爆炸的時刻,尤其在台灣,溽熱難耐,讓人彷彿對任何事都失去了興趣,保養皮膚也變得不是那麼理所當然了。但夏天的保養有個小步驟讓人心曠神怡,就是濕敷!曬得滿臉通紅的時候,或是熱到脾氣上來時,用濕敷來降暑氣、鎮定日曬,對我來說都是「夏日限定」的大確幸。
只用過海洋拉娜乳霜的我,沒想到他的濃縮精華露居然能解救我的夏天(好浮誇)!通常這個時節我會把乳液的厚重度降到最低,那麼在前導液或是化妝水的選擇上便顯得更加重要了(題外話,想不到我現在也能對保養這麼有個人意見,以前都亂抹一通啊,果然是變成ㄕㄨˊ了)。
濃縮精華露對我的肌齡來說,像是導精華露,可以為肌膚打下很好的保濕底子。在這個時節,作為保養的重頭戲很出色,用來濕敷的話,更有種對自己太好的小罪惡感,哈哈!我想等再乾冷些時,用來做前導液後再進行全套保養,也能加強保養效果。近期使用後,最大的感受是儘管進出冷氣房次數頻繁,不太脫妝、皮膚也不太出油,尤其是我還搭配La Mer保濕潤澤系列的保濕凝膠(夏天的話我不會用經典乳霜,凝膠比較清爽),整張臉就是海洋拉娜開Turbo!保濕做好了,肌膚總是平衡在良好的狀態,膚色平均跟緊緻度都顧的很好,夏季的保濕真的很Tricky,如何穠纖合度的選擇保養品,也是一種智慧。
這陣子每日都在中暑邊緣情緒大爆炸,但看到綠色的濃縮精華露瓶身,想像她是來萃取自深海裡的巨型藻類,彷彿感到一陣清涼(以及立刻想濕敷的強迫症)。原來綠色能帶給人心曠神怡的感受,是真的。
而有follow我的IG Story應該記得,上禮拜我剛獲得了新的柔礦輕乳液,用完後整臉會呈現美妙的霧狀質感,我還捨不得開,但最近濕熱的程度我應該很快就會腦波弱開來用,之後再分享到底有多清爽。
沒耐心等我的話也可以親自先去體驗看看(體驗還有護膚課程!):https://goo.gl/NJyvNf

【 台北法的外交意涵 】
Trump signed it.
Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement Initiative (TAIPEI) Act of 2019簡稱為《台北法》,這法案剛出來時,我曾經說這是美國國會首度將台灣的國際參與與盟邦寫入他們的國內法,意義遠比Taiwan Travel Act(台灣旅行法)來的重大。
直到今日,好事成真。
想要知道這法案細節的,可以看中央社或其他媒體報導,摘譯都出來了。
這邊談談外交意涵。
第一,川普待會要跟習近平通電話。挑在打電話之前簽署這項法案,你只能說阿川的心機不是普通重。
這是典型的外交籌碼運用。這法案縱使川普不簽,很快也會自動生效。但他就選在跟習近平通電話前簽了。
川普想要什麼?當然是希望這通電話能從中國手中拿到好處。
第二,如果WHA今年五月如期召開,美國代表或美方會有什麼具體措施來協助台灣參與?
《台北法》明定:
It should be the policy of the United States--
(1) to advocate, as appropriate--
(A) for Taiwan's membership in all international organizations in which statehood is not a requirement and in which the United States is also a participant; and
(B) for Taiwan to be granted observer status in other appropriate international organizations;
意思就是:
那些不需要以國家會員為前提的國際組織,美國應該要鼓吹台灣成為會員。
至於其他合適的國際組織,在美國也有參與的前提下,美國應該要鼓吹台灣成為觀察員。
這裡有個tricky的陷阱:appropriate。而我相信,台灣參與WHO絕對是appropriate。
第三,台灣的邦交國目前是15個。在《台北法》通過後,美國等於對台灣的邦交國數字有了無形的道德壓力。
《台北法》明定:
It is the sense of Congress that the United
States Government should--
(1) support Taiwan in strengthening its official diplomatic relationships as well as other partnerships with countries in the Indo-Pacific region and around the world;
(2) consider, in certain cases as appropriate and in alignment with United States interests, increasing its economic, security, and diplomatic engagement with nations that have demonstrably strengthened, enhanced, or upgraded relations with Taiwan; and
(3) consider, in certain cases as appropriate, in alignment with United States foreign policy interests and in consultation with Congress, altering its economic, security, and diplomatic engagement with nations that take serious or significant actions to undermine the security or prosperity of Taiwan.
這段寫的非常拗口,但其實就是三句話:
1. 美國應該支持台灣在印太地區及全世界的外交關係。
2. 跟台灣好的國家,美國應該考慮也跟他們好。
3. 跟台灣不好的國家,美國應該考慮不跟他們好。
我刻意翻地很直白,法案文字當然更細緻加了一堆但書,但這段的架構就是這個意思。
也就是說,《台北法》成真後,中共每搶一個台灣邦交國,就可能違反美國國內法,美方行政部門也必須跟國會部門報告,美方做了什麼以及需要做什麼來預防類似狀況發生。
換句話說,日後中共要搶台灣邦交國,必須更加謹慎。不是說不會發生,而是美國已經正式將台灣的邦交國狀態納入美國國內法,而這代表著極高法律拘束力。
第四,美國的一中政策內容會不會改變?
在過去,美國的「一中政策」不等於中國的「一中原則」。
美國的「一中政策」,多年來就是三個公報(1972年上海公報、1979年建交公報與1982年817公報)以及1979年台灣關係法,後來又加上1982年雷根總統的「六項保證」。這其中,只有台灣關係法是美國國內法。
在川普上台後,2018年美國國會通過《台灣旅行法》(Taiwan Travel Act),台旅法雖然也是美國國內法,但整體而言並未改變美國官方一中政策的基調。
但現在《台北法》通過後,顯然對美國的一中政策實質內容有了顯著的改變。
我們可以觀察的是,美方往後談到一中政策時,會不會開始變成「三個公報 + 台灣關係法+六項保證+台旅法+台北法」?
無論美方有無改變對一中政策的官方說法,但美國的一中政策已經非常明顯地越來越向台灣傾斜。
以上,是我對《台北法》的簡單看法,提供大家參考。

BWF=>TOP SEEDS TRIUMPH – SINGLES FINALS: YONEX ALL ENGLAND OPEN 2017
TEXT BY GAYLE ALLEYNE | BADMINTONPHOTO
Tai Tzu Ying underlined her current status as ‘the one to beat’ in Women’s Singles, today lifting her third straight World Superseries title.
Continuing where she left off last season, the Chinese Taipei player etched her country’s name in history at the YONEX All England Open Badminton Championships in Birmingham.All England logo
In a battle of wills, as much as skills, the top seed and world No.1 outwitted Ratchanok Intanon, 21-16 22-20, to claim her country’s first Women’s Doubles success at the ancient and prestigious event. Her victory extended her unbeaten streak in the MetLife BWF World Superseries in which she concluded last year with titles in Hong Kong and the season finale in Dubai.
“It was an intense match so I am happy to win. I don’t think I made too many mistakes. The scores were always close. During the second game I was trailing a few times but I kept telling myself not to give up,” said the new champion
“When Ratchanok attacks she is really good. She is very tricky so I did a lot of work on my defence. I was trying to find opportunities so I could beat her.”
The much-anticipated last match of the finals lived up to its billing as both young – and equally talented – guns dug deep into their respective bags of tricks in the quest for glory. Audible gasps and repeated bursts of applause from spectators, who faithfully stayed until the finish, denoted how much they appreciated the deft touches, changes of pace and all-court wizardry which two of the best in the business rolled out during their clash of high intrigue.
In the end, it was a few points here and there – blended with the odd stroke of luck and daring – which turned the match in Tai’s favour. Intanon may well wonder how it all unravelled so quickly. At 20-18 ahead in the second game, she celebrated game point prematurely, only for Tai’s successful challenge to tighten the score to 20-19. In a flash, Intanon’s game point transformed into Tai’s championship point and, as Intanon’s shuttle strayed over the baseline, Tai delighted in her maiden All England crown; another big title for this small and unassuming athlete.
“It’s disappointing for me but it was a wonderful match,” said Intanon.
“I was nervous but I played well – but Tai played better. I will have to improve for future tournaments.”
If the Women’s Singles showpiece was evenly matched, the men’s equivalent was completely opposite as Lee Chong Wei put on a master-class, whipping Shi Yuqi, 21-12 21-10. The slick and easy manner in which he glided around the court, plus full-stretch dives and sizzling jump smashes, almost made a mockery of the national panic that surrounded his left-knee injury some weeks ago.^^page admin
