"Hunxit" - real possibility or just another tantrum of Viktor Orban?

Image
There has been talk about Hungary exiting the European Union; but is it really a possibility or the current events had lead to another resultless witch-hunt from FIDESZ? By current events I mean the Sargentini report. Hungary has been named the least democratic country of the Union, and the debate has also pointed at the fact that Victor Orban and his party were accused of being corrupt on multiple levels. There has also been a topic on wether the money that the EU had been lending to the country really went to the cause that it was lent for or did it land in the pockets of the politicians in power? Of course there has to be proof before any accusations are made towards the party and Orban. Before I begin my article, I have to state that I do live in Hungary and these cases affect me as much as any other Hungarian. I have been living here for most of my life and I have witnessed this person rise to unimaginable power along with his close knitted friend group. Therefore I cannot ...

Not all that glitters....

Image
This is just a quick heads up. The topic is:  Which we have adapted into EVERYTHING lately. Cups, shoes, plates, bowls, makeup, hair gels, body paint, toys, even we started eating it - its on cakes, in drinks, on top of muffins and cupcakes... But despite the label "safe to eat" it isn't really. It is supposed to pass through our digestive system without any harm, however it is only passed the FSA test if it says "food contact glitter" - this product is usually just coloured sugar. The actual glitter that are on top of food can be "non-toxic" which is literally just won't kill you nor harm you in any serious way, however is not advised that you eat vast amounts of it, and can be "for removable decorations" which you should avoid eating for the reason that it is just for decorating purposes - you won't eat the candles either. It is probably just my discomfort with this topic, because I am a kind of person who is baffled...

What is this Wine Overhype?

Image
I cannot be the only one that thinks social media overhypes wine consumption. I am an adult, in the age that I can legally drink, and wine IS my to go to drink if I decide I want to have something with a little bit of alcohol in it. So I do appreciate wine, but there is just so many memes about drinking it that I feel like we are promoting alcoholism. Because opening a bottle of wine and consuming the whole thing alone at 2 p.m. is kind of a sign of alcoholism in my opinion. There is nothing wrong with having a glass or two at dinner, especially if you have something to celebrate. Just reading these   kind of made me think of the whole thing. And of course Buzzfeed is the biggest advocate of the movement by posting memes , tweets , comparisons  (which are the only appropriate articles in the matter in my opinion), " cheat sheets "(this one is actually useful), wine facts , wine tests , wine " exercises " (featuring the biggest wine fan who has influential voic...

Should the Victoria Secret hire Asley Graham?

Image
Just to be clear: I am overweight. Now I would consider myself as a curvy woman. A few years back I used to wear size 18-20. Now I gladly waring size 12-14. So I believe if someone is entitled to discouss this topic, that is me. Have a healthy body! Nowadays we meet lots of campaigns regarding woman bodies. Not only the skinny but the enourmus rolls too. All of those praises that we should accept ourselves. No wonder that we are more occupied regarding this matter as it was before. I do remember in high school, what type of conversation we used to have. How scared did we glimpsed to the popular girl... how smooth her skin was, and hairless legs, everything was perfect. I was scared and disgusted by myself. You might think, but then why I did not eat less, or started a diet, or go to the gym? I did. But at home all those eating started again. I ate a lots of sugar. My skin had to expand so fast that it ripped. Ripped like when I had to rush to the emergency because I had a seizure ...

Public Breast Feeding - Why Should you?

Image
Obviously, all babies - just like all humans - need to eat. However I believe flopping out a breast in public and shoving it in the little human's mouth is not entirely the best solution. I am not saying you shouldn't breastfeed in public. I am not saying you should rather bottle feed in public. I am saying you shouldn't breastfeed PUBLICLY. This lovely woman here is following nature's course, however she could do it by finding a quite bench and giving the child the proper attention and care and love, but instead she connects it like a charger to her phone and walks around unbothered. Those two women in the back, while obviously should mind their own business somewhere I agree with them. Because breastfeeding should be intimate, and should be about having a moment with your child. Food is not just food for a baby. It is a time of true connection with the mother. But lately we have ignored this. Breastfeeding became a task, something that needs to be done, ...

Depression and Suicide - The Mute Boogieman Under the Bed

Image
I was going to write about how this is a thing that parents don't look for but is there in every teenager. I was going to write about that cyber bullying is a thing that our parents never had to face therefore they aren't aware of it nor prepare their children to face it. I was going to write about that many parents aren't aware of the fact that many kids need help because of their mental state. Not entirely because they don't want to, but rather because the kids are also scared to tell.  I was going to write about the snowball effect that many kids need to deal with when their reputation takes a blow. I was going to write, but then I came across a video. This video will tell it all. Please only continue reading after you have watched the video. There are many many things that parents now days cannot relate to: social media all around, smartphones, and also the expectations that are set front of us aren't the same as they had to face. Even...

Independence to Catalonia

Image
I know many of you have heard about the feud between the people of Catalonia and the Spanish government. But not many of us know what is really going on: this independence feud has been around for centuries really. Ever since modern day Spain was formed it was somewhat resisted by the Catalans to accept. Aragon and Catalonia were two different countries which eventually were forced to merge under the same king back in the 15th century. In the early 1930s nationalism among Catalans reemerged as it was given a greater sense of autonomy just to be shut down by an ultra conservative ruler, Gen Francisco Franco in 1939. They were repressed, their language restricted. The definition of a country   : is basically a nation with their own government occupying a particular territory... and the definition of nation is a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular state or territory. The Catalan people fit these definitions, but...
