Izmir, the pearl of Ionia, is not just a city; it is a way of life; it is freedom, peace, multiculturalism, and privilege.
As Victor Hugo wrote in his ‘Les Orientales’ Izmir is a ‘Princess’; a beautiful, elegant, curious, powerful, and loved one.
Izmir is the third most populous city in Turkey; a modern city with a temperate climate and 629 km unique turquoise coastal line of the Aegean Sea with its untouched bays, sandy beaches, and magnificent sea, with its ancient cities listed in the World Cultural Heritage and the temples considered sacred by Christianity, happens to be one of the places with a remarkable combination of...

As someone who has been living in the brother state Azerbaijan for many years, in this article, I will tell you, our dear readers, about the main delicacies that you should not leave the country without tasting when you come here.
Eating; For some people, it may just be considered a duty to end their hunger and fill their stomachs, but for me, it should first be a visual art feast. Then I should eat by tasting each bite's taste, savoring it and enjoying it. It is possible to find both together in Azerbaijani cuisine.
Plov (rice) is the first place, which has an important popularity in the...

Hello everyone!
On October 2, 2024, there will be a solar eclipse at 19 degrees Virgo according to Sidereal Zodiac Hipparcos Ayanamsa. Those with planets at 18-19 and 20 degrees according to Sidereal Zodiac Hipparcos Ayanamsa in their birth charts will be most affected by this eclipse (especially those in Virgo). The most remarkable aspect of the eclipse is the grand air triangle between Venus, Mars, and Saturn. This aspect pattern creates a powerful astrological structure that offers significant opportunities and dynamic changes in intellectual, social, and creative fields. This period brings innovative ideas with an increase in our mental energy; our intellectual processes are accelerated and...

Shoes, everywhere—
For the small and the large,
For summer suns and winter winds,
Boots that rise, boots that fall,
Sandals of rubber, slippers of leather.
For millions of souls,
For every pair of feet,
Walking or still—it makes no difference.
If shoes exist for everyone,
Then so do paths,
Countless roads waiting.
Once, I had so few shoes,
So few places to go—
Yet I wandered far,
I was young.
Now, my closet is full,
Destinations are endless,
Yet I don’t move.
The tags still dangle
From my dancing shoes.
If you are alive—travel.
If your feet still stir—dance.
Even in your living room,
Let them wear thin.
For we are human.
We live.
We love.
We walk.
So rise—
Dance.
And always,
Always—
Keep walking.
Beril Yabar

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,...

Hello everyone,
We start the week with Venus Aries - Pluto Capricorn square. Since this aspect will occur at 11 degrees according to the sidereal zodiac, Hipparcos Ayanamsa, those with planets at 10-11-12 degrees in their Natal charts will be most affected by this aspect and its effect will last for about 1 week (especially those in Aries and Capricorn). This aspect tends to bring tense situations, especially in relationships and financial matters. We may want to act impulsively in these matters and as a result, we may have to face some obstacles and experience radical changes. This aspect may indicate a deep transformation and structuring process...
