"Conventional wisdom sucks up everything around us. Your environment and the ways in which others communicate with us play a big role.

Yoga is a Science and an ancient discipline emphasizing the understanding and practice of morals and ethics, developing awareness and control of the physical body, emotions, mind and interpersonal relations. Today, Humanity is at the crossroads, despite all the achievements and scientific advancements, in the last few decades, we still need to evolve psychologically and spiritually. Today in this world of consumerism, we are becoming more and more unconcerned, insensitive, apathetic, cruel and brutal in almost all aspects of living and thus have lost the fragrance of life. Yoga brings back the sense of Synthesis, Fruition and Happiness. It has been a topsy-turvy start to the third decade of this century. COVID-19 has brought with it many disruptions. Coronavirus has significantly changed the contours of professional life.

A good advertising jingle has the power to spark nostalgic feelings and get stuck in your head for days. You might even have a playlist full of them. The top 5 advertising jingles of all time are: Q&A Q. What is the name? A. Surprise! Q. What is your logo? A. Pending registration. Q. What music will be promoted. A.Yet, another surprise. Q.

Why do you think people have that impression of you? Now if you posed the question differently, say like, where have you been, you are no longer on TV or doing radio shows in Cyprus then maybe it would make sense. By Catherine Radojkovic1.

CYLIFE News Team * Μπορείτε να διαβάσετε την πιλοτική έκδοση ΕΔΩ ΑΠΟ ΣΥΝΤΑΞΗ Το υλικό για τις πιλοτικές εκδόσεις που βλέπετε, είχε αρχικά ετοιμαστεί γύρω στα μέσα Ιανουαρίου 2020. Στο εν τω μεταξύ προέκυψε ο κορονοϊός με όλα τα παρεμφερή και τις τραγικές συνέπειες ανά το παγκόσμιο. Γίναμε όλοι μας μάρτυρες ενός δράματος στην κοινωνία και ταυτόχρονα βιώνουμε μία κατάσταση που τα λόγια, αδυνατούν να περιγράψουν. Tου Σταύρου ΤομπάζουΟι μήτρες διάδοσης του κορονοϊού στην Κύπρο είναι πλέον γνωστές. Πρόκειται για τις εξής δύο: 1. Τα αεροδρόμια από τα οποία εισήχθη ο ιός 2. Τα νοσοκομεία Στην Κύπρο δεν έχουμε παρά ελάχιστα «ορφανά» περιστατικά. Αυτή τη στιγμή περιορίζονται σε 1 ή 2. Αυτή η πραγματικότητα, η οποία δυστυχώς δεν τυγχάνει της δέουσας προσοχής στα κυρίαρχα ΜΜΕ, καταδεικνύει και τους κύριους, αν όχι τους αποκλειστικούς υπεύθυνους για τη διάδοση του ιού: ο πρόεδρος της Δημοκρατίας, ο υπουργός εσωτερικών και ο υπουργός υγείας. Ενώ ο ιός ταξίδευε αεροπορικώς και προσγειωνόταν στα αεροδρόμια της Κύπρου, ο πρόεδρος της Δημοκρατίας έκλεισε 4 οδοφράγματα, τη στιγμή μάλιστα που δεν υπήρχε κανένα κρούσμα στα κατεχόμενα. Ούτε ένα. Δεν έκρινε σκόπιμο, την ίδια στιγμή, να ακυρώσει για προληπτικούς λόγους το καρναβάλι της Λεμεσού. For those who still can and want workout!! We are Touch Glove & we keep together!!

(On behalf of whom?)20/3/2020
We all have our little Zen zone of the day, when we try to disconnect from the daily drill through the working hours for at least 20 minutes. I have personally found my small oasis in one boutique kiosk in the main street of Nicosia, in Makarios Avenue, where I enjoy a cup of ice coffee, while peeking at my little black MAC bag with some new nude lipstick content. And while the ritual begins, brain unwinding, a dose of daydreaming, slightly all descending into another level of relaxed consciousness…. Ideally, improving and keeping youthful appearance and high level of energy, you think - regular training, supplements, cosmetic procedures and oxygen will put you on a fast track toward upgraded version of yourself. The modern-day person is slightly obsessed with proper nutrition, which is not an accident. Scientists and doctors increasingly publicly discuss what foodstuff and groceries are beneficial for health and which ones are harmful to our bodies, therefore should be avoided by all means. Vegan diet: Salvation or sacrifice? Excerpt from my upcoming article. "I don’t want to scare off any future vegans or people considering to follow this diet but in most countries and here in Cyprus it’s quite a task. Very first thought and question that flash you out is whether this diet and the lifestyle is expensive and complicated. In my opinion there are two types of vegans: "those who are for moral reasons and those who are for health reasons." Those who are vegan for health, mostly upper class, buy expensive products without which one can. There is some moral elitism, in the sense that people condemn, but I think it is counterproductive. Honestly, if you can't make it, then avoid talking about it." |Radojkovic| Tattoos are like windows to where have we been mentally and physically , who we are or who we want to be and what we hold on to. They are more than the things we buy and things we wear. A tattoo tells a story, or at least that should be the very right reason why do we get them. *My tattoo by Constantinos POW, SINS &SIGNS* |
