SOME INFORMATION ABOUT TATTOOING

A tattoo consists of introducing a small amount of colored ink into the skin with a needle. The ink is introduced in a zone located between the dermis and the epidermis, the introduction of the needle varies from 1 to 4 mm according to the types of skin and the tattooed zones. Once the wound is healed, the transparency of the skin allows the ink, and therefore the drawing, to remain visible.


PREPARE YOURSELF BEFORE THE TATTOO

Before going to the tattoo artist, it is essential to prepare yourself.

First of all, rest during the few days before the tattoo, this will allow your body to better manage the pain. At the same time, if you have a tendency to have dry skin, don’t hesitate to moisturize it with cream, this will avoid flaking and a too important dermatological shock.

There are a few things you should do the day before the big day:

  • Avoid exfoliating, as it could irritate your skin
  • Do not take any medication that could thin your blood (such as aspirin)
  • Do not drink alcohol

Once you have applied these tips, you are ready to go to your tattoo parlor!


ENSURE A GOOD HEALING OF THE TATTOO

To ensure optimal healing, you must take care of your tattoo from the very beginning.

At the end of the session, your tattoo artist will apply a bactericidal ointment on your skin and then a bandage. This will protect the skin from dust or bacteria in the air. It is strongly advised to keep this bandage on for several hours. During these few hours, you will have to resist the temptation to see the result or to proudly show your tattoo to your friends!

You can then remove the bandage. Once the bandage is removed, it is possible that the tattoo design is not clearly defined and does not look like what you expected. Don’t worry, this is perfectly normal. It is then necessary to clean the tattooed area to remove the excess of ink, blood, lymph … You can do this cleaning with warm water, with an antiseptic solution or a neutral pH soap. Be careful not to place your tattoo directly under the water. Rub gently with your hands and let it dry.

Once the tattoo is dry, you can apply your tattoo cream to moisturize the skin. The cream should be applied in a thin layer to allow the skin to breathe. Massage gently and don’t

What women like in a man ? There are many myths surrounding women’s preferences in men. They would only like slender, muscular, hairless men. We know that in reality all tastes are in nature. Some women love men who are a bit plump, others like bearded men… In short, it’s time to take stock!
There are many preconceived ideas about the selection criteria for finding love… It is often said that women like tall, gallant men, “dark brown with blue eyes”… But is it true?

To put an end to all these preconceived ideas, we asked the question to the main people concerned: women!

What attracts women to men ?

Women prefer tall men: myth or reality?

Reality! Respondents say they are attracted to tall men. At least taller than them.

But let’s not forget that there are plenty of good reasons to date a shorter man!

Women do not like hairy men: myth or reality?

Opinions are divided. 49.1% admit that a man with hair is much sexier. As for the remaining 50.9% of women, they find the hairiness of these men unpleasant and prefer those who wax. They find it more aesthetic and much softer…

Conclusion: men, women… do what you want with your hair!

Women like men in uniform: myth or reality?

Myth! No, think again, the man in uniform is not the object of all women’s fantasies. Only 39.5% of them said they find it attractive.

The rest say they like to look at them and find them very sexy, but they value the person more than the outfit. (No kidding!)

Women like men with big cars: myth or reality?

Myth, thank God! (Who else but sexist ads invented this myth, by the way?)

The women surveyed do not seem to have any particular attraction for men who have big cars! For 73.6% of women, a nice car is nice to look at, but it is not a selection criterion.

Hard blow for bad boys and macho men

Women like bad boys: myth or reality?

Myth! It is often said that women are attracted to bad boys. But it seems that this legend… is just a legend!

However. When we are young, it is true that we find bad boys attractive. But as you get older, bad guys aren’t really what you’re looking for anymore.

Moreover, 78.2% of the women interviewed said they prefer gentlemen, responsible and mature men. So even if for 21.8% of the women surveyed, bad boys bring spice to their lives, as they get older, expectations are not really the same!

Women like mysterious men: myth or reality?

Myth! First of all, what is a mysterious man? And even so, too much mystery kills the mystery.

Secrets (without turning into jealousy or paranoia) scare 78.2% of women. Openness and communication are much more successful (it’s not for nothing that it’s the secret of couples that last).

And ideally, a man who opens up and talks about his feelings, it’s all good!

Women like chivalrous men: myth or reality?

Reality! It’s not surprising that the vast majority of women appreciate gallantry, because it is proof of a certain education.

What they like most of all? That this spontaneity is sincere and not used as a seduction technique.

Nevertheless, 5.4% of women find chivalry “old-fashioned”.

Women like very muscular men: myth or reality?

Myth! Women like men who maintain themselves, like everyone else, but men who are too muscular are far from being unanimously approved.

72.8% of women admit they don’t like body-built men and some even prefer men with a bit of a belly. Body posi as you wish!

Women like powerful men: myth or reality?

Almost a myth!

Once again, opinions are divided. 55.3% of women claim to like men of power, especially for the charisma they exude.

But for 44.7% of those surveyed, power is synonymous with arrogance. To each his own, to each his own.

Women don’t like macho men: myth or reality?

Reality, no surprise. 84.1% of women say they don’t like macho men (even if the myth of the virile and protective man persists among most of the respondents).

As always, it’s all about nuance: a man can “play the man” (and yet, what does that mean?), but being misogynistic, certainly not!

3 Golden Rules To Flirt With A Woman

To approach a woman, yes, but not anyhow! Single men, you have probably already asked yourself how to seduce a woman? How to approach her without being too heavy? Here are the 5 golden rules not to forget to have all your chances.

There are as many ways to flirt as there are flirts. And as many people to charm. So, it is impossible for us to provide you with a manual, nor a guarantee. What we can tell you is that there are certain rules to respect in any situation.

1. Consent, the first rule of dating

If there was only one rule, it would be this one. You don’t hit on a woman or a man who doesn’t want to.

Very often, the signs are there. A look in the evening, a smile, a gesture, a discussion that has started. You tell yourself that you can please him and decide to make the first step.

There are situations where it is less obvious. It is therefore understandable that you cannot know every time before trying if this woman who caught your eye would want you to try an approach. Don’t hesitate to make this first step, but only if you are prepared to accept a ‘no’ as well as a ‘yes’.

Your target will quickly let you know if she is interested. Verbal language and body language do not deceive. A no is a no. It is not a ‘yes maybe, insist to see’. A yes, followed by a no some time later, is a no.

Often the person makes this clear, more or less directly, more or less delicately. Don’t take this kindness as a yes. It is always a no, but instead of answering you: “I’m not interested in you”, she will find a formula. Why? To avoid showing off in front of your friends, because she doesn’t dare, because she’s afraid of your reaction.

Listen to gestures and posture. A woman who sits straight in front of you and plunges her eyes in yours to continue the conversation, it is a good sign. A woman who turns around so you stop talking to her is a no. And insisting is harassment, not flirting.

For those who have difficulty with the notion of consent, we strongly recommend you to watch the video entitled Tea consent.

2. When and where to hit on a woman?

Now that you have the basics down, you are ready for that first step.

First of all, location matters. A woman is not willing to be hit on everywhere, especially in uncomfortable situations. The workplace, for example, is prohibitive for some. So is the gym or the pool.

Speaking of aquatic, Lena has an even wilder place in mind: “On a surfboard. I spent the first day in a flesh suit that was as sexy and comfortable as a foam condom, with my legs in an X shape and my arms crossed on my board, in the middle of 15-year-olds who were more talented than me.”

You will have understood, for her, it was not really the moment: “That did not cool the ardor of the instructor, who proposed me to go to drink, just as I went back to the surface with the grace of a drunk seal”. It was a rather dry no.

Some places are better. Airport lounges, trains, planes, coffee shops, nightclubs, parks in the spring are some of them. These are just suggestions of course.

For the rest, it’s mostly a matter of observation. It will help you to know when to approach her. Are you trying to approach your colleague? Observe his habits and his rhythm.

Hervé, for example, didn’t manage too much on timing with Anne-Sophie. “I’m not a morning person. Before 11 o’clock, I’m in a Doberman mood after a training session,” she confesses. You just have to know that, and respect my social jet lag. Unfortunately, my neighbor Hervé didn’t know that. And he came on to me one day at 7:50 a.m., when I was late for work. Hey, this is not the time at all,’ I barked over my shoulder. Fortunately, he wasn’t touchy, and he tried again one night… where I was much more receptive.”

On the street, for example, if the person is walking in a hurry, it’s not really the time. In the evening, if they’re ready to go, too bad, you’ve missed your chance.

3. Adapting to the one you like, the best dating technique

The observation is also valid to determine the profile of your target. The flirting technique should be adapted accordingly.

I don’t like to be hit on in public, it’s very embarrassing,” explains Magali for example. When a man approaches me in a public place, like in a café or in the subway, I immediately feel that everyone is watching us and making predictions about what to do next: I feel like I’m at the racetrack in Vincennes, track side, it takes away my means and my judgment. I prefer to be approached by a man when I am alone, reading, or during my lunch break.

Discreet, outgoing, romantic: be subtle according to his temperament.

Finally, you’ll need to keep perspective on the situation. This means, among other things, not insisting when it doesn’t work out.

“He was handsome, apparently brilliant, since he had a position of high responsibility in the architectural firm where I was doing a replacement, very nice… when he stopped talking about himself!” remembers Chloe.

Only, it was impossible to go further for her: “Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to make sure because he was in a loop on one subject: himself. With its variations: his hobbies, his job, his passion for motorcycles, his friends, his travels… To cool him down, I managed to slip in that I had a boyfriend. A lie on the first date, of course, but as we were not going to get married…”

Women do not ask men to have a list of topics prepared. He can approach without a catchphrase in mind, his awkwardness will even be perceived as cute. Only sometimes we like it for two minutes, then we realize that it will not stick. Because there are big awkward silences between you, because she realized that you have no common ground.

We agree, making yourself interesting is not easy. In real life, but also during the first messages on dating apps. Give some information about yourself, but also ask questions about her. After a while, open the conversation to other topics that are important to you. And listen to your instincts: can you feel this connection between you? No ? After a while, move on. Yes ? Tell us about the beautiful story that is starting. And you’re ready to go!

Mirror and refuge at the same time, the house reveals and protects us. It tells our personality, our history and our secret dreams. It arouses in us contradictory feelings, often passionate, because it is a place of sharing, love and family, but also of conflicts. Our home therefore has a lot to teach us about the way we “live” or not our life.

What things should a man have in his apartment? When you think of a man who wants to be mature, responsible and attentive to detail, his space should definitely reflect that through a beautiful interior that manages to show some personality and is optimal in all aspects of life. However, not all men manage to do this and some have spaces that look empty and are not great for receiving visitors who will leave with a good impression.

On this occasion, we have compiled the opinion of several women who have told us the things they have noticed in some men that they consider essential to at least have a comfortable time. Some are very obvious, but many men often fail. Take note:

First Of All, Your Home Expresses Yourself

Today more than ever, the individual king seems to be very attached to the expressive dimension of the home. Walk into someone’s home, and you’ll know more about them than you would after hours of discussion: the colors they like, the objects they choose to display, the care or neglect with which they treat their home… All clues to a personal journey. When I was a teenager, I wanted every visitor entering my room to understand who I was,” confides this thirty-year-old. So, everything was there: the poster of my favorite singer, the pictures of my girlfriends… “.

If our house serves to reveal us to the other, it can also teach us a lot about our inner evolution. Sometimes, it is enough for us to become aware of the way we arrange our space. Thus, the example of Joseph, 42 years old. In conflict with his mother, he had refused to see her for years. One morning, without really knowing why, he felt like exhibiting some Yugoslavian statuettes that his maternal grandmother had left him. He found a prominent place for them on the ledge of the fireplace in his living room. “Two days later, I called my mother in Croatia. I still don’t know if it was my desire to forgive that led me to dig out those statues or if they led me to reconcile with her.

This collusion between our innermost being and the way we arrange our space appeared already in the writings of Artemidorus of Daldis, a Greek philosopher of the 2nd century BC. Long before psychoanalysis, he affirmed that any house appearing in a dream was an image of the self.

1. More than one towel

“Or that there are usually products in the bathroom,” says one of the testimonials, and he’s right. An empty bathroom is not an option. You need your toiletries, towels, soap for your hands and more than just shower gel and shampoo. With two towels, you’ll be covered as long as you don’t use them while the other one is in the laundry. Other women say an extra toothbrush isn’t a bad idea.

2. A good mattress

“…with a decent sheet, blankets, and a comforter,” said another testimony. Not an unreasonable request, although some stressed that the mattress should be large. Not necessarily a king size, but as long as it’s not a single, you’ll be fine. Remember, you have to say goodbye to old mattresses at some point. For the comforter and the sheets, nothing complicated. Just make sure they are not old and have no stains or holes…

3. A kitchen that is not empty

“It’s horrible to see that they have nothing…” It even sounds cliché, but we’re sure that some men are just not very close to their kitchen. So it’s usually a deserted area with only a few items in the fridge and a few condiments. Unless you don’t have the time, you can spend a few days cooking and at least know a little more about what you need. Develop your cooking skills and you’ll score extra points.

4. A good chair

“Nothing in black ‘faux leather’ or the parents’ heirloom chair…” The heirloom sofa can still be an option as long as it’s not too old or has one of those decades-old outdated designs. It’s best to choose one that matches your personality and has style.

5. Matching glasses and wine glasses

“Along with the wine, of course.” While wine can be an item on this list, we focus first on glasses that don’t look like they come out of different boxes and don’t feel like they serve all drinks combined. On the other hand, wine can give you extra points, knowing that serving it in the right glasses can be the finishing touch.

6. Plants

Many of the testimonials we have compiled mention plants as one of the essential things a man should have in his house or apartment. If you are not a plant lover or you don’t think you can take care of them, you can opt for some that don’t need too much care. They give a better look to your interior and it is better to have a few to fill the space.

7. A bookcase with good books

Although we don’t think this is an opinion shared by all, some women have told us that an apartment with a bookcase is essential but it should have not only encyclopedias that don’t gather dust but also good books. This may have to do with the fact that through someone’s reading you can get to know them a little, without forgetting the intellectual factor. Furnishing a wall never hurts.

8. A coffee machine

We also have to say that we didn’t think all women are coffee lovers, or purist enough to want a coffee machine but having a nice one in one place can make you look a little more sophisticated than if you were drinking instant coffee. We wouldn’t put this on the must-have list but it’s something to consider. Some women tell us that kitchen utensils are also important.

The authorities of Indiana announced, this Thursday, July 14, that they were investigating a gynecologist who helped a ten-year-old girl to have an abortion after a rape. Indeed, a doctor of the State of Indiana, Caitlin Bernard reported, last June 27, that she had received a call from a colleague of Ohio asking her to help a 10 years old girl, pregnant since six weeks and three days.

In this northern state, neighboring Indiana, the Supreme Court’s decision on June 24 to no longer guarantee the right to terminate a pregnancy immediately allowed a law to come into effect prohibiting abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The girl, who was raped in May by a man who was arrested on Tuesday, was past that point. The child had to go to Indiana, which has not yet legislated on the issue, to be taken in charge and have an abortion.

Indiana prosecutor criticizes Dr. Bernard’s actions

But officials in Republican-majority Indiana are hostile to abortion rights and are considering banning the procedure as well. Meanwhile, the state’s attorney general lashed out Wednesday night at Dr. Bernard, accusing him of failing to report the girl’s case to authorities, as he is required to do under local child abuse law.

“We have this pro-abortion activist, who claims to be a doctor, and is known for not making the required reports,” Todd Rokita said on Fox News. “So we’re gathering the information, the evidence, and we’re going to fight this to the end,” he continued, threatening to revoke “her professional license, if she didn’t inform us.”

She did not break any law”

The lawyer of Caitlin Bernard

Indiana’s jurisdiction requires health care providers to report abortions they perform to the Indiana Department of Health, including if the patient has indicated that they want to be considered for an abortion as a result of abuse. And not reporting it would be a misdemeanor.

“My client, Dr. Caitlin Bernard, has taken all appropriate steps in accordance with the law and her medical and ethical training as a physician,” Kathleen Delaney, her attorney, wrote in an email that local media outlet the Indy Star was able to obtain. “She followed all relevant policies, procedures and regulations in this case, as she does every day to provide the best possible care to her patients. She did not violate any laws, including patient confidentiality laws, and she was not sanctioned by her employer,” she added.

This tragic case was cited on Friday, July 8, by Democratic President Joe Biden to decry the Supreme Court ruling. “Ten years! Raped, six weeks pregnant, already traumatized and now forced to travel to another state!” he said.

But until the suspect’s arrest, the conservative press and several Ohio officials had expressed doubts about the veracity of the drama. Now, opponents of abortion accuse abortion advocates of “using” the girl to promote their cause and blame her misfortune on Joe Biden’s migration policy, since her alleged attacker was an illegal Guatemalan immigrant.

How to Make Homemade Toothpaste

by Mary

Brushing your teeth, is very important for the oral hygiene and serves several important functions.

First, brushing your teeth helps remove food debris and plaque. Dental plaque is a buildup of bacteria that forms on the teeth and gums. Some of these bacteria, mainly Streptococcus mutans and other types of lactobacilli, metabolize sugars and produce acids that form cavities.
