Fares Karam on the authority of Myriam Fares: Her psyche is acidified!
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
The dispute between the Lebanese artist, Myriam Fares, and the Lebanese artist, Fares Karam, returned to the fore once more, following the latter’s statements in response to what Miriam said regarding the concert that brought them together earlier in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
In the details, Myriam Fares had justified the issue of publishing a picture of artist Fares Karam in a size smaller than her picture on the concert announcement, as she said at the time: “Fares is the best of young people and I love him a lot. Those who did the party and in the entertainment department decided how the size of the picture would be, not us.
Myriam Fares’ words were answered by Fares Karam in an interview with “Aghani Songs”, where he said: “I don’t want a response to acidified psyches, but her psyche is acidified.”
4 simple and practical tips to limit pain after waxing.
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Soft, flawless, and smooth skin is every woman’s dream, and unwanted hair is a major obstacle to achieving that skin. Hair grows naturally on the body. Fortunately, there are ways to remove unwanted hair, such as shaving, tweezing, laser hair removal, and waxing, but these methods aren’t for everyone.
What is waxing?
Waxing is a semi-permanent method of removing hair from the root. During the hair removal procedure, a sticky substance called wax is applied to the skin to adhere to the hairs. This process allows the hairs to come out, including the roots, when the wax is removed. Waxing is not permanent. However, you can enjoy smooth, hairless skin for up to 3-8 weeks before the hairs start to grow back. Regular waxing can slow hair growth and eventually eliminate it.
Is waxing safe?
Waxing is safe, but people who have skin problems, such as sunburn, should heal them first before waxing. People with skin allergies, irritation or breakage should consult a dermatologist to find out if hair removal is safe. During waxing, the pulling out of hair creates small wounds under the skin that can cause redness and itching of the skin. In general, skin that undergoes waxing is at significant risk of bacterial exposure that can cause infection. Appropriate care helps to avoid this risk.
What types of wax can be used during a hair removal procedure?
A specific skin area requires a type of wax that will ensure the effectiveness of the hair removal procedure and avoid unwanted results.
Soft wax:
This type of wax is applied to large areas of the body, such as arms and legs. A fine hot wax is applied with a spatula, then the wax is removed with a strip of cloth. Soft wax removes hairs which are barely visible to naked eye, but can only be used once on the same spot, because soft wax is sticky and adheres more, it can remove the layer of dead skin that may cause irritation and redness.
Hard wax:
Hard wax is the type of wax used for smaller, sensitive areas of skin, such as the upper lip and bikini line. Hard wax is applied while hot. During the procedure, hot wax is applied directly to the skin and given time to harden. Hard wax is less sticky and less messy than soft wax. As it is not very sticky, hard wax can be applied twice to the same area to ensure complete hair removal. In hard wax, the hair follicles and pores open when applied, which makes it easier to pull out the hair and can also alleviate pain.
How to reduce pain during waxing?
Fortunately, there are a few tricks that can make hair removal less painful. Sandrine Azoulay, creator of the Epiloderm method, shared her professional advice.
-
Do not epilate during your period:
At the beginning of the cycle – and a few days before – the hormonal turbulence is so important that it can increase the sensitivity of the skin. We therefore avoid tearing the hairs with wax during menstruation and just before their arrival.
-
Do not wait too long between 2 waxings:
It is best not to wait too long between 2 waxings. The longer the hairs, the more painful it is to remove them. In addition, it is best to remove them when they measure 5-6 mm. According to Sandrine Azoulay, this is the ideal length for waxing.
-
Avoid stimulants before waxing:
Alcohol, coffee and tea contain stimulants which can increase skin sensitivity. We therefore avoid consuming these stimulants before the session.
-
Soothe the area with a cold compress or lotion following waxing to reduce any inflammation:
Indeed, even if the hair is dead, the follicle on which it grows is very much alive. When you epilate a hair, you also remove part of the follicle, which can cause some irritation. This is why it is important to soothe the area with a cold compress or lotion following waxing. Opt for an alcohol-free lotion such as Biafine or a lotion rich in Aloe Vera. Put it in a fridge. Once you have finished waxing, massage the waxed area with the lotion to reduce inflammation and limit pore dilation.

Blizzard Confirms Longer Timeskip Between Shadowlands and Dragonflight – World of Warcraft
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
In a message published last night, Steve Danuser, Lead Narrative Designer of World of Warcraftconfirmed a temporally longer than usual ellipse between Shadowlands et Dragonflight.
There is always a certain amount of time between expansions, although this is rarely indicated in-game. Internally, Blizzard has a timeline that indicates what year an expansion begins, and the gap between them is either one year (like for the first extensions) or two years (like most of the latest ones). But the NPCs in Azeroth don’t talk regarding the fact that The Burning Crusade took place in the year 26 following the opening of the Dark Portal, or that we rediscovered Pandaria in the year 30.
When looking at the Warcraft timeline, one of the things we can notice is that major, world-changing events are tightly clustered. This is especially true with WoW, which since launch has seen many consecutive invasions and disasters in its timeline.
As Shadowlands represents the closing of a book of the Warcraft saga (as mentioned in interviews during the launch of Patch 9.2), it is the opportunity to give Azeroth and its inhabitants a little respite before Dragonflight introduces the start of the next major storyline.
Shadowlands began in the year 35 following the opening of the Dark Portal, and Dragonflight will begin at the year 40.
Like the events of Shadowlands took place over a two-year period, that leaves a few more years that we go through. The goal is not for many events to take place outside of the game, requiring players to read a novel or other media to understand the state of the world. The purpose of this timeskip is to offer the inhabitants of Azeroth a bit of a ‘normal’ life without a major threat hanging over their heads.
When the heroes return from the Realms of Death, they resume their lives and responsibilities without an immediate crisis to solve or an enemy to fight. The Alliance and Horde honor the truce signed following the Fourth War, and the citizens of Azeroth are able to enjoy a period of stability and reflection.
A short story will be offered on the official site that details a particularly joyful event that was mentioned in an Alpha build. It will be an amusing and charming read, but it will not be necessary in order to understand the events of Dragonflight.
In addition to stretching the WoW timeline a bit, another benefit of this timeskip is that it lets younger characters get a bit older, allowing some to take a bigger role in future storylines. However, not enough time passes for the already adult characters to be significantly different.
As for the changes to the world that have been mentioned, such as the relocation to Gilneas, these will not take place during this timeskip. While it’s interesting to show places and populations changing due to story progression, the developers want events of this significance to be quests that players go through for themselves (like reclaiming the Ruins of Lordaeron in Patch 9.2.5) rather than these happening off-camera.
For your character, Blizzard has always left it up to your own interpretation how long it takes when you log in following a patch or expansion arrives. Dragonflight is no exception. You are free to imagine what your character did in this period of respite while waiting for the arrival of Patch 10.0.
