Hey everyone! With technology at our fingertips, social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook have become a big part of most of our daily lives. We use them for entertainment, to stay updated, or even as platforms to voice our opinions. However, with ongoing debates about social media’s impact on mental health, productivity and even democracy, how do we strike a balance? How do we ensure healthy usage without getting too involved? Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Who else agrees that comic book villains are just as good (or sometimes even better) than the heroes? From Thanos to Joker, a compelling villain can make a story truly epic. Marvel and DC have both brought some incredible bad guys into cinemas for us to love (and hate). But, I’m curious who you all think is doing villains the best right now? Marvel or DC? Let’s discuss!

Isn’t it absurd that nowadays we can’t step out to just grab groceries without worrying about pimples popping out all over our faces? The term “Maskne” is really making its name in 2021. Now, not only do we have to swaddle half our faces for hours on end, but our skin is also getting a beating, thanks to these masks! Of course, we’re all for safety, but looking like a 15-year-old fighting stubborn acne during a breakout season is not what I signed up for! And don’t even get me started on the advice that’s being thrown around… “Stop wearing makeup”, “Change your mask every hour”. I mean, come on, who has the time or resources for that? Maybe it’s just me, but the b…

I stumbled upon an article the other day about the decline of community libraries and it got me thinking. It’s been ages since I’ve visited one - I admit, with the convenience of online reading platforms or audiobooks, it’s easy to forget about these local gems. But I wonder, are they really a fading relic or are we overlooking their value? In our bustling digital world, there’s still a certain charm about physically browsing through the stacks, picking a book, and experiencing that ‘book smell’ - not to mention, libraries often host various community events. On the flip side, everything is just a click away now and frankly, it’s super convenient. If you’ve been …

Laughter, curiosity, and a touch of skepticism - few topics elicit such a mixed bag of reactions like the ever-growing trend of plant-based diets. Influential celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Mark Wahlberg swear by it. Professional athletes credit this diet for their increased performance levels. It’s unsettling our traditional food pyramid, but is it a passing fad, or is there more to it? A plant-based diet, in its simplest form, revolves around eating foods primarily from plants. This not only includes fruits and vegetables, but also nuts, seeds, oils, whole grains, legumes, and beans. It doesn’t mean that you are vegetarian or vegan and never eat meat or dairy b…

Recently, I’ve noticed an unexpected trend: the comeback of vinyl records. Despite the convenience offered by streaming services or other digital music formats, it seems there’s a growing fascination for these old-school music discs. Sales numbers for vinyl records have been steadily increasing over the past few years, with many arguing that the rich, warm sound offered by vinyls creates a unique listening experience that’s hard to replicate digitally. This trend isn’t confined within a single age demographic either. While the older generation might be purchasing vinyl records out of nostalgia, it appears that younger people are equally enthralled by these tactile, la…

Do you remember the last time you held an actual newspaper, felt the crisp paper between your fingers as you flipped through the stories of the day? In this age of digital penetration and social media, it’s surprising how satisfying the tactile sensation of reading a real newspaper can be. It can offer solace from the constantly fluctuating online content and serve as a reassuring routine amidst the uncertainty of world news. I’ve noticed a resurgence in the appeal of physical newspapers. Despite the convenience and immediacy of online news, a lot of people seem to be returning to this traditional form of media. Perhaps it’s a combination of nostalgia, and the fact th…

Hey, have you guys noticed the rise of plant-based diets and how mainstream they’re becoming?
