{:en} Hello, dear friends. How have you been since our last meeting? I hope life is treating you well. A new year has arrived, and January is nearly behind us. Each morning, I wake up and greet the day with a warm smile, and every night, I go to bed feeling grateful, still wearing that same smile. As I drift to sleep, my mind often wanders to the memories of places I’ve traveled, or sometimes, I find myself dreaming up plans for my next adventure. Both bring me immense joy. This month, I’d like to share a winter’s tale with you. Are you ready to hear it?...

{:en} What happens to the body during and after the pregnancy? During pregnancy, your belly needs to expand and provide a comfortable environment for your baby. Meanwhile, the skin of your belly stretches and like a piece of cloth under tension it loses its elasticity to some extent. As a result, after giving birth, especially following multiple pregnancies, the stretch forces cause your belly skin to become more loose and saggy. The same is valid for the breasts as well. Once they are full of breast milk, they expand and stretch as the belly. So, after the hormones are withdrawn and the breast milk production is seized, the...

{:en} Hello everyone, If there is such a thing as red carpet syndrome, I have overcome it, my dear readers. 😊 Or else, I will invent it from now on 😊 If my late grandmother had been alive, she would have said, "Don't bring us any inventions."  😊 Excitement, excessive preoccupation, and hyperactivity are three of these syndromes that are known as… YES, let's get to the topic: Our American and Italian film Echo Pilot Episode, produced by me (Tuğba Yazıcı✋🏻) and directed by Rome-based Livia Oya Proto, is winning awards after awards.

{:en} There is something quietly powerful about arriving somewhere new. The light feels different, the air smells unfamiliar, and your mind seems to breathe. Whether it’s a beach in Spain, a street café in Lisbon, or a small town you have never been to. Travel often feels like hitting a reset button. A big part of this feeling comes from the way our brain reacts to novelty. New sights, sounds, and even small unexpected moments activate the brain’s reward system, releasing dopamine. It is the “feel-good” chemical that improves mood, motivation, and curiosity. In contrast, our daily routines tend to dull this system. When everything becomes foreseeable, our...

{:en} I love the holidays. The happiest and funniest of my childhood memories belong to the mornings of the feast. I remember when I was 9-10 years old in my pink dress, brand new patent leather shoes, and skirts flying up and down the stairs, trying to catch up with the holiday table, like today... My first article in our newspaper ‘Arttmodernmiami’ coincided with an American holiday, "Thanksgiving Day". Now I would like to tell you about the “Candy Feast” celebration. Candy Feast mornings are special. After the 30-day fast, the breakfast table is very enticing… The hands of the elders are kissed, and the little ones are...

Their experiences, tragedies, and life stories change how you look at life and make you question it. Some life stories affect you much more than others.

They never stop and continue on their way. I liken these people who overcome these obstacles and achieve success despite everything to Turkiye. Our country was reborn...

{:en} Hello everyone! On December 1, 2024, a New Moon will occur at 19 degrees Scorpio according to the Sidereal Zodiac and the Hipparcos Ayanamsa value. This New Moon will primarily affect those with planets around 18-19 and 20 degrees in their birth charts, especially those with placements in Scorpio. The most significant aspect of this New Moon is the opposition between Mercury (retrograde + anaretic) in Scorpio and Jupiter in Taurus. This opposition between Mercury in Scorpio and Jupiter in Taurus may deepen thought and analytical processes but may also occasionally cause this intensity to transform into a form of mental obsession. Thoughts may fixate on one...
