Have a good trip already! When you set foot in Athens, one of the most important cities in Greece, you may be tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, but its historical structure and its status as a center of culture and art may make you forgive itself. Named after the Greek goddess Athena, Athens is a magnificent city full of ancient monuments, temples, ruins, and churches! If...

{:en} For the third of my travel articles, this time I will tell you about Istanbul. My city is Istanbul! Before settling in America, Istanbul, where I was born, grew up, fell in love, had a lot of fun, was very sad, traveled, grew up, lived! Istanbul is one of the most exotic cities in the world. I always proudly say to people I've just met: “I come from Istanbul” and after saying that, I watched with pleasure the expressions of admiration and respect that appeared on the faces of the people in front of me. As a human being, I have a curious nature. I am curious...

{:en} Time has passed so quickly. A huge vacation with you is over and I'm back home. Now I am sitting in my summer house thinking about you. In my head, I made a 26-day accounting of my vacation that started on June 7th. Where I went, who I met, and how I lived it to the fullest. How much I missed being with you, your streets, buildings, friends, acquaintances, and most of your surprising weather. Can you have 4 seasons in one day? Yes, my London is with you. Everything is possible with you. I made unforgettable memories in the company of my close friends Muge & Trevor. As soon...

{:en} Happy birthday, Virgos! ❤ With the Sun in Virgo this week, practicality, organization, and a focus on efficiency are at the forefront. With Mars also in Virgo, the theme of “dedicated attention to detail” is further emphasized. As Venus, the ruler of Leo, moves through the final phase of its retrograde, inner awareness regarding relationships becomes more pronounced. Additionally, the first vibrations of the upcoming Pisces Full Moon at the end of the month will begin to be felt from midweek: The search for a balance between the energy of “letting go of control – surrendering to the flow” and “establishing systems” is noteworthy. ♈ Aries Rising This week, you are experiencing strong...

{:en} Hello dear friends, I didn't understand how quickly I came to my 7th post. The comments from you also make me happy, let me tell you that. In this post, I make a difference. I would like to tell you about my student and colleague Elif Kus, who follows my articles. She told me that she wanted to write her thoughts about my paintings, and I accepted. I am publishing her feelings and thoughts to you as they are. ‘A journey with rectangles suspended in space’ Your journey, which you usually start on a blue square, may suddenly end with the darkness in the depths of the picture...

{:en} I just realised it is really hard to decide on what to write on your very first opinion piece. Few peopleI have asked, suggested that I should introduce my-self to you. However, there are so many articles and interviews and this and that about me, to be honest I am bored about introducing me now. Also, I am sure you will get to know me better with these articles of my life, my design adventures, my stories, my inspirations during our time here. I am sort of planning to take over this corner that is given to me and make it me, if that makes sense.So...

{:en} When Your Body Feels “Off” Ever look in the mirror and think, “This doesn’t feel like me anymore”? You’re not alone. Maybe you’re drained no matter how much you sleep. Maybe your clothes feel tighter even though your diet’s on point. Maybe your moods swing out of nowhere, your hairbrush is filling faster than usual, or your digestion just won’t cooperate. When women come to me with these stories, it’s often their thyroid trying to get their attention. The thyroid is usually the first organ to raise a red flag when the immune system starts to slip. That’s why we call it the “canary in the coal mine”—it’s sensitive, responsive,...
