Best Traits To Worst Matches: Here's Everything You Need To Know About A Sagittarius Man

There are just a few basics that need to be explored when you first start dating someone. Where is he from? What does he do for a living? Oh, and most definitely, when's his birthday? This isn't just for remembering when to send that "happy b-day :)" text! Knowing a potential boo's zodiac sign can really help in understanding his behaviour. Astrology helps us break down personality traits, pet peeves, and, yes, even dating patterns. It can be fun and informative to look up his sign and see how yours works with his.If you're dating, Insta stalking (hi, guilty), or just fantasizing over a Sagittarius man, we're here to help you navigate this passionate fire sign. These adventurous archers are optimistic and outspoken and famously love their freedom. Here's what you've gotta know about them.Are you crushing on a Sagittarius?Luckily, astrology allows us to decipher personality traits, pet peeves, and so much more. And trust me when I say there is sooo much more to a Sagittarius man than you initially realized. You think they're all fun and adventurous, and they are, but they're so much more than that, too.So if your guy was born between November 22 and December 21, you're in for a treat. Sagittarians make life (and sex) feel incredible, but as it goes with any sign, there are some things you may want to keep an eye out for.THE SAGITTARIUS BASICSBirthday: November 22 to December 21Modality: MutableElement: FireRuling planet: JupiterRepresented by: The archerTarot card: TemperanceBest crystals: Lapis lazuli, black tourmaline, rose quartz, carnelian, malachiteKeywords: Carefree, optimistic, blunt, active, adventurous, lucky, free, noncommittal, curious, philosophical, outspoken, impulsiveLove anthem: "Run Away With Me," by Carly Rae JepsenFamous Sagittarius men: Brad Pitt, Jay-Z, Jake Gyllenhaal, Charlie Puth, Trey Songz, Jon Stewart, Jay-Z, DJ Khaled, Jamie Foxx, Ben Stiller, Steven Yeun, Don Cheadle, Jonah Hill, Nat Wolff, Ian Somerhalder, Brad Pitt, Mark Ruffalo, Nat Wolff, Samuel L. JacksonA SAGITTARIUS MAN'S BEST TRAITS"Sagittarius" is basically synonymous with "adventurous" at this point, and while there's a lot more to a Sag than that, it's also true! Your Sagittarius lover will suggest tons of day trips and long weekends away, and trust, he'll have plenty of ideas for how to use your PTO. And Sagittarius isn't just physically adventurous, but mentally as well. He's well-read, deeply curious, and always up for trying something new...including in the bedroom. A SAGITTARIUS MAN'S WORST TRAITSNo other zodiac sign puts their foot in their mouth like Sagittarius. It's not that these archers are ill-intentioned, they just tend to speak before they really think things through, and they lack a little tact. If you're on the sensitive side, it's easy to get your feelings hurt by a Sagittarius. This sign is also stereotyped as noncommittal, and while that's not completely true Sags will commit to someone or something they think is really worth it this sign prefers to be spontaneous rather than plan dates and life milestones in advance. BEST MATCHES FOR A SAGITTARIUS MANWhen it comes to this sign, another Sagittarius is the best choice for a partner! You are both unapologetically up-front and can dish out the tea as well as you can take it from others, so arguments are quick and then forgotten about. Another great match for Sagittarius is Aquarius. Both of you have unique perspectives on the world that are completely your own, which you both love to have friendly debates over.Sagittarius also vibes with fellow fire signs Aries and Leo. You're all so outspoken and passionate that you just get along...until you don.t. Luckily, if you fight, you make up easily, and LBR, you love a little bit of ~drama~. Finally, Gemini gives Sagittarius an opposites-attract situation. (Literally, they're opposites on the zodiac.) They're both super smart and super curious, and sparks just fly!WORST MATCHES FOR A SAGITTARIUS MANSagittarius might struggle to get along with Virgo. Sag is so adventurous that Virgo thinks he's reckless, while Sag gets annoyed with Virgo's tendency to hyper-focus on the details. Pisces also presents some challenges. This water sign wants to be super-close both physically and emotionally, while Sagittarius loves their freedom and impulsive solo getaways.That said, having incompatible Sun signs doesn't mean your relationship is doomed it just means you might have to put in a little work to really ~get~ each other. And compatibility is about so much more than your Sun sign anyway, so if your Moon signs or another part of your birth charts mesh well, you might be an astrologically blessed match anyway.But even if your birth chart is Virgo all the way down, if you make an effort to understand your Sagittarius boo and vice versa you can have a great relationship too. And TBH, ~astrological tension~ can also lead to ~sexual tension~, so there's something to be said for "incompatibility"!SEX WITH A SAGITTARIUS MANSagittarius was voted most likely to join the mile-high club. These travel-loving, spontaneous Sags are ready to go whenever, wherever. They also just miiight have a bit of an exhibitionist streak. They love sex in public. Or semi public. Or outdoors. Or at least, they don't mind if the neighbors hear. For Sagittariuses, the ideal sex session is fun, hot, and playful slow, emotional bonding just isn't their thing.Sags love variety, so they're almost always down to try a new sex position, kink, or toy. They're not afraid to make a suggestion or make the first move, but they love it when you take initiative and are direct about what you want.


iPhone 12 vs 13: Is There Really Any Difference Between Them?

Ever since Apple’s Press Conference on the 15th of September 2021, all everyone can talk about is the brand-new iPhone 13. People have been talking about how amazing it is, how expensive it is, how unbelievable the camera is and how it isn’t really that much different from the iPhone 12. The differences between the two phones aren’t really that obvious, they are subtle but major differences.
  While someone who simply uses their phone to make calls and scroll through social media won’t really be that excited about the changes, a person who is as close to their phone as a BFF, a co-worker, a camera for daily OOTD snaps and a space to explore your creativity, then get ready because the differences between the iPhones 12 and 13 will make huge differences in your daily life.Here’s a comparison between the iPhone 12 and 13:Category #1: Battery While the new iPhone normally is bad news for people with the old models because it also comes with a new software update that just drains the battery of the older models, those who will be buying the iPhone 13 (lucky you!) will get to experience the brand new A15 Bionic chip.According to the keynote speech, + iPhone 13's battery life lasts up to 2.5 more hours in a day than the iPhone 12+ iPhone 13 mini's battery life lasts up to 1.5 more hours in a day than the iPhone 12+ iPhone 13 Pro's battery life lasts 1.5 hours longer than the iPhone 12 Pro+ iPhone 13 Pro Max's battery life lasts 2.5 hours longer than the iPhone 12 Pro Max
  Category #2: StorageApple finally took the hint that we don’t want to delete our photos and apps because there isn’t enough storage and decided that for the new iPhone 13, they will remove storage as low as 64 GB. So, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13mini now come with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options. The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max even comes with a 1T option which is the biggest storage option ever for Apple.
  Category #3: Design & DisplayApple certain deserve a little kudos for all the new colours! The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini come in a dusty pink, starlight (white), red, midnight (black), and blue. The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max have the best colours! They come in graphite, Sierra blue which have a cool steel blue vibe, gold and silver.

  I know, some people are reading this thinking, hmm, that’s not really different from the iPhone 12. And yes, it is not that different except for the pink and Sierra blue. While the size display on both the iPhones 12 & 13 are pretty much the same, the difference is that the front-facing camera notch on the iPhone 13 is 20% smaller, giving it a larger display area. Besides that, it also has a 28% brighter, more vivid screen compared to the iPhone 12. Category #4: CameraOne of the most obvious difference between the iPhone 13 and 12’s cameras are the way the 13’s one is arranged diagonally. Besides that, the iPhone 13 also introduced Cinematic mode which is like portrait mode but for video. To experience the cinematic mode, here’s a short film Apple made using the feature:The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max also has macrophotography capabilities by providing you with three times the zoom power compared to previous models. Category #5: ExperienceWith the new A15 processing chip which faster than any competitor processor by 50%, the iPhone 13 series will certainly provide you with a smoother, more efficient experience when using it. It allows you to run various apps at the same time without any lagging or loading and play video games with a more sensitive touch (get chicken dinner on your PUBG every time!).The graphics also look cleaner, brighter, and more brilliant due to the changes made to the resolution, camera lens, and processor.

Kendall Jenner Massively Trolled Herself On TikTok & It's Hilarious!

ICYMI: Parents Will Relate To Penelope & Scott Disicks New TikTok VideoThere have been a lot of hilariously iconic Kardashian Jenner moments in the last year. But arguably the funniest moment has to be when Kendall Jenner tried to cut a cucumber and it became an instant meme.During an episode of The Kardashians on Disney+ earlier this year, Kendall was seen at her mum, Kris Jenner's house, making a snack. In the scene Kendall is slicing up a cucumber but crossing her arm over the knife to hold the other end of the cucumber, resulting in what looked like a very awkward position.Kendall Jenner trying to cut a fcking cucumber is the most tragic thing Ive ever witnessed #TheKardashians pic.twitter.com/QNoJMHXzJD— Sophie (@SophieScribbles) May 12, 2022 And now this Halloween, Kendall has hilariously trolled herself over the iconic moment.Posting on TikTok, Kendall shared a video of herself dressed up as a slice of cucumber, complete with black latex tights.  @kendalljenner   original sound - Julian Burzynski   In the background of the TikTok the audio from Mean Girls about dressing up for Halloween, "In girl world Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it," was playing.It was great to see Kendall troll herself with the hilarious costume, as Khloé Kardashian revealed Kendall wasn't actually initially happy with the reaction to her viral moment.Speaking on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast in May this year Khloé said: "Oh my god, she's like, not happy about that. I feel so bad."Khloé went onto say she tried to make Kendall feel better about the moment by saying how perfect Kendall is. She told podcast host Amanda Hirsch: "Im like, 'Kendall, God is fair. You're the most beautiful human being in the world. You have wild-looking toes. God bless. And you can't cut a f***ing cucumber. The world is good.'"Khloé's advice may have just worked as now Kendall spent all of Halloween making fun of the viral moment and we love to see it.The Kardashians is available to watch on Disney+ now.

Going On A Date? Here’re Some Tips To Have Perfect Skin for Dating

Not having enough sleep and worried about your skin for dating? Want a nearly flawless skin for your unforgettable date? With these few easy tips, you can impress your date with glowing skin. 1. Cleanse    A cleanser is always a starting point of beauty routine. Your skin type will determine the right cleanser that suits your needs. Gentle products are suitable for oily skin or dry skin while a milky, non-comedogenic cleanser is suitable for sensitive skin. Cleansing can control oil production, remove impurities, and eliminate the appearance of pores. Use cleansing milk can moisturize your skin and maintain its pH balance. You are encouraged to do double-cleansing if you’re wearing makeup. This can be done by using a facial cleansing oil first to remove makeup, then, gently massaged your skin with a foaming cleanser to remove any leftover impurities. 2. Use Retinol  Retinol or a Vitamin A derivative in the form of a serum or cream can increase the surface cell production and make your skin look brighter. 3. Use a Moisturizer that Works Overnight   Before going to sleep, it is better to give your skin some rest by applying a moisturizer formulated with antioxidants to restore any damaged parts of the skin. You will wake up with exquisitely revived skin. Additionally, you can use a sleeping cream to nourish the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles for younger-looking skin.4. Sleep At Least 8 Hours   Although it may sound easy, many adults failed to get at least eight hours of sleep. But, try to make it before your date so that your skin could increase the production of the surface cell during the night and your eyes will look energized. It can be done by reducing screen time (cell phone, tablet, computer) at least an hour before bed. This is because the blue light transmitted from the screens can influence the levels of melatonin, which makes it harder for us to fall asleep.5. Hydration  Your skin will never look radiant unless you properly hydrate your body. Throughout the day, you should drink water, herbal teas or fruit juices. Fruits also give hydration and contain antioxidants.Learn and apply these tips before your date night!

6 tips for learning a new language without spending money! The more you put in the more you get.

How it could be if you want to learn a new language. You don't want to take a classes but you just want to take it casual. These tips will help you a lot !1 Get a dedicated notebook
    Get a notebook, write everything you learn in it. You can write down anythings that is related to the language that you learning. For example, I learn french on my own, I have a notebook where I will write down everything that i was learning in french. You can also keep it a diary or a journal where everything you feel like expressing has to be in that language that you're learning. At first, it'll be really hard because you find that there are some things that you want to express but you can't find the words to express them in that language. That's a really great time for you to go on a google translate or open a language dictionary, and learn new vocabulary for the new language that you want to express. Even it is just a common word but you can really feel the satisfy. 2 Listen to music
    I also really like to listen to music in that language that i learning. You can listen the music on Youtube or wherever you can find. It really helps you to kind of comprehend what they're singing about. When I first started to listening a music, to be honest, I couldn't understand every word they're sing. But every time we kind of learned to grasp the different context of songs especially because there are a lot of love songs out there, some heart break songs. I will pick up some common words that they use in the song, and write it down on notes. I also really like to read the lyrics as I listen to the song, any words that I don't know, I'll translate them and try to remember them on that day. And if I really like the song and its really resonating with me, I will turn it into an artwork, like calligraphy. I think being able to write what you're listening to is a great way to kind of keep all those vocabulary and words and phrases in your mind, and that's really help. 3 Watch movie/show with subtitles
    I will suggest that you find a really good TV series in that local languages. Watching TV show on that languages will kind of help you to learn the way that word are pronounced or the intonation of the voices when they speak out that language and that is really helpful. It's because it's easy to just read the words that you see and think that they are pronounced on mind but it's really hard to say it on daily. It makes sense but it lacks that intonation. You cannot surround yourself with people who actually speak it and listen to the way that the words are spoken, so you definitely check out foreign films in language that are choosing to learn. 4 Read children books
   When you just started to learned a new language that you ever try. I suggest getting an easier book to read likes children book to start off with because it's gonna be hard if you just jump in straight into like an adult novel. I personally suggest you guys to read the books that you have read it on your native language, like Andersen's fairy tales. Children book is really great because you will learn how to say the basic things, basic vocabulary and as you build your confidence you can progress to higher levels. 5 Follow social media personalities
  I also follow a lot of people online who speak the language that I'm learning. Finding youtubers who make videos in their native tongue and following them on instagram. You'll learn a lot from that too, usually there is like quite a tight-knit community of these youtubers who make videos in native tongue.

Do You Need Sunscreen If You Are Staying Indoors? | Tips on How Often to Reapply and When to Apply It

Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown started, we are mainly staying indoors. As we are shaded from the sun as we stayed at home, do we need to apply sunscreen?The answer is: YES!As we are constantly sitting in front of screens, be it computer, TV, or phone, we are exposing our skin to skin-damaging rays. According to dermatologists, we are exposed to UVA, UVB rays, and blue light even if we are indoors. Moreover, seats beside an open window are also creating opportunities for us to be exposed to sunlight.   Thus, it’s advisable to wear sunscreen indoors to prevent the production of pigmentation and breakdown of collagen. The detrimental effect of not wearing sunscreen ranged from inflammation, forming of age spots to skin cancer.  How often and when do we need to apply?If we are heading outdoors, it is recommended to apply the sunscreen for 30 minutes BEFORE going outside. Reapplication of sunscreen is needed every two hours or right after sweating and swimming. Sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and water-resistant formula is needed for outdoor usage.  For indoor usage, dermatologists suggested reapplying every two to six hours based on the instruction of the product. Sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 15 is suitable for indoor usage.Skin aging happens when we are least aware of it. Take care of your skin from harmful rays through daily sunscreen use even when we are indoors!  Source: Skin Cancer, EWG, NBCNews

Father's Decade Long Rape Of Daughter Unveiled As 7 Murdered Infants Discovered

The police are currently engaged in an ongoing search operation for the remains of seven human baby skeletons found buried at a former pond site in Central Java, Indonesia. This distressing revelation was reported by Liputan 6 news yesterday, shedding light on a deeply disturbing case.The birth of these seven babies was the tragic outcome of an incestuous relationship between a 57-year-old man, identified as R, and his own biological daughter. Agus Supriadi Siswanto, the Chief of Banyumas Police, stated, "Yesterday, we officially named R, a resident of Tanjung Village, as the primary suspect." The investigation suggests that this case may involve more than just a single individual.
  The police have gathered substantial evidence linking R to the crimes in question, cementing his status as the primary suspect. The case came to light when two cleaning workers, while leveling the ground on June 15th, stumbled upon what appeared to be human bones at the location.R stands accused of both killing and burying the infants, who were the result of his incestuous relationship with his 25-year-old biological daughter, referred to as E. These horrific acts are said to have been ongoing since 2012, starting with the birth of the first baby in 2013 and tragically continuing until the seventh baby in 2021.Agus revealed, "Based on the suspect's confession, there are still three infant bodies that he murdered and buried at the site, in addition to the four baby skeletons discovered between June 15th and 21st." Despite the efforts of the Banyumas Police Crime Investigation Unit, who excavated the former pond area yesterday, the search has yet to uncover the skeletons of the remaining three infants.In a distressing twist to this already harrowing tale, R's third wife, identified as S, is reported to have aided E in giving birth to these children. Allegedly, R threatened S with her life should she ever disclose the truth.The investigation into this shocking case is ongoing, and authorities are committed to uncovering the full extent of these tragic events. As the search for justice continues, it serves as a somber reminder of the importance of protecting the most vulnerable members of society and addressing issues that plague communities in order to prevent such horrors from occurring again in the future.What do you think of this grievous crime?

Shanghai’s Floating Giant QR Code, MySejahtera Take Note Please!

Early this week, Shanghai was caught all over international news, thanks to a mysterious, giant QR code floating in the air!On Saturday, a video streaming app, Bilibili took its advertising game to the night sky, above the Bund, the city's renowned waterfront promenade.
  Source: TwitterThe QR code was part of a 2-minute light show, in celebration of the 1st anniversary of the China release of a RPG game, Princess Connect! Re:Dive. The popular Chinese site put 1,500 computer-controlled drones to work, in order to create the illuminated image! When scanned, users are led to game's homepage, where anyone can download the title & its one-year anniversary package.
   Source: TwitterBefore forming the code, the drone manifested the game logo, its characters, plus a 'Happy Birthday' message. Watch the video below. Source: InstagramFollowing this elaborate stunt, there's been a bunch of mixed response from the people. While most was awe-strucked, some called it a form of light pollution. A few compared it to the 2017 sci-fi film, Blade Runner 2049, in which consumerism is "thick in the air"(pun intended!)However, this ain't the first time Bilibili attempted such marketing tactic for the Japanese-based game. Last summer, a massive QR code was plastered on one side of its company building in Shanghai for the game's launch.

Rethinking Internet Safety for Kids in the Digital Age

  Parents today face a tricky question: at what age should children have access to a smartphone? Even if you are the world’s best multitasker, it is difficult to compete against the internet’s ability to churn out content designed to grab your child’s attention. From new apps to websites to social media platforms, it truly is a formidable task to keep track of every new product your child might encounter. Today, keeping them safe includes making sure they are protected, whether in the analog or digital worlds. However, it is also undeniable that a lot of learning and education can be enhanced with the use of smartphones and tablets. Furthermore, being attuned to the digital world and the Internet can be beneficial for their growth and learning. It is up to parents to educate their children on safely navigating the Internet and creating a child-friendly environment for them. While challenging, it is possible to become a savvier parent. Whether it is tapping into a comprehensive service like Samsung Kids that can protect your child in a dedicated safe smartphone environment, or taking an active role in educating and monitoring your child’s online habits, informed and prepared parents are empowered as positive role models for their children spending time online. Dangers of the Internet and the Need to Defend Against Cyber ThreatsSmartphones, while being the key to unfettered access to the Internet and its many benefits, can also be dangerous when activity is left unmanaged. Parents not only need to assess the areas of the Internet your children are active on, they also need to worry about strangers and bullies reaching out to their child, whether they’re using the Internet responsibly, and if they are under threat by websites they may click into. It is no doubt that children can be especially vulnerable online. Online hazards – cyber predators, websites with explicit and mature content, or even the dangers of oversharing on social media – can have severe, costly, or even tragic consequences. Cyber criminals can be convincing in their approach, and the threat may not appear immediate. Nevertheless, they take advantage of a child’s potential lack of caution online, gaining their trust before launching an attack. In the case of children discovering the Internet and its contents, parents can also look towards devices and applications that allow them to monitor and set limit to usage. This then provides them with a unique insight on their child’s activity online, allowing healthy conversations between parent and child on cyber health and wellness. Through Samsung Kids’ parental control feature, this is as easy as tweaking settings to ensure play time can be limited but meaningful, age-appropriate apps can be activated and allowed, and a usage report will highlight the child’s activity. Understanding and Building a Strong Culture around the Online ExperienceDespite the dangers on the Internet, it is important to understand that you can fight back even when it seems helpless. Today, there are many resources that provide parents with the tools to learn about online safety and foster a safer internet environment for their child. On top of raising awareness, parents wanting to curate the right online environment for their children while instilling good habits can provide enhanced protection for their children with services similar to Samsung Kids, all without needing to hover over them as they explore their first adventures online.
  Additionally, parents play an important role in fostering a safer internet environment for their child and help them develop good digital habits, educating themselves and teaching their kids about the unseen dangers online. After all, the Internet sees a lot of persuasive designs and algorithms to maximise engagement, and that is where dangerous manipulation can thrive in. As such, parents can engage in several steps to manage this: • Teach Them to be Responsible: Instead of removing your child from the Internet, take the time to explain why it is important to consider the threats and help them develop a healthy scepticism of the Internet. • Adapt Their Screen Time: Tracking your child’s activity online maybe a futile task, but parents should still review their children’s media (apps, games, YouTube channels, etc.) to ensure they are age-appropriate and have educational value. Utilising a service like Samsung Kids can also help provide parents a peace-of-mind that their child remains in a safe environment curated with fun apps that are both fun and educational.• Allow Healthy Entertainment: Let your child explore their inner curiosity and wonder through playing games designed to help them think critically. Without necessarily needing to vet all the games your child may have access to on the online store, simply allow their imaginations to run wild with Samsung Kids’ built-in games like Croco’s Adventure, which helps push their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills further. • Creating Healthy Boundaries: Make use of resources that can help children understand the dangers that lurk online by learning through play, such as with CyberSecurity Malaysia’s CyberSafe program . • Become a Good Role Model: Other than reviewing and restricting access, parents should also reflect on their own screen time choices, as children will often mimic their parents. It is important to practice safe online habits even personally before enforcing it on your child. When confronted with these overwhelming possibilities and requirements, many parents understandably become lax with trying to steer their children toward the safest online experience. On the other hand, parents that are too strict and assume that time spent online is inherently toxic can also negate a lot of potential learning the child can obtain, and miss out on conversations that can lead to stronger bonds as well as opportunities to help a child rethink online safety. Knowing this, Samsung Kids is designed to be quick and easy for parents, with a secure environment available at the push of a button, helping parents with keeping a firm hand on their children’s online activity without completely denying access to the Internet.
  As the analog and digital worlds continue to mesh with the progression of technology, parents must look towards ensuring children have good habits and values, whether offline or online. When pondering the question on smartphone access for children, perhaps the consideration lies less with when they are ready, but rather on how parents can adapt their methods to ensure children can develop safe practices online. With the right tools, strategies, and devices, that is a challenge parents can absolutely overcome.


Six Ways to Ace Your Sleep Time!

One of the best feelings is waking up the next morning after getting a good night’s rest. Known to be one of the most underrated healthy habit, quality sleep is as important as eating well and exercising. Today, with our hectic lifestyles, stressful days, binge watching and increased screen time, we often deprioritise sleep. Beyond that, distractions within our bedrooms can hinder us from feeling completely rested they next day.As our bedrooms are our sanctuaries – a space that articulates a sense of harmony and peace, it is important to pay attention to the little details that can help us sleep well for a better tomorrow. Here are some quick and easy fixes to turn your bedroom into an optimal snooze space:
  1. Feel the comfortAchieving maximum comfort with the right mattress, pillows and quilt is the first big step to a good night’s rest. A good mattress will provide you with the right support but what’s equally important is the comfort you feel. With the perfect pillows and quilt cover sets, you will be able to make the best out of your sleep time.
  2. Block out the light. Generally, having a darker room is perfect for a good night’s sleep. To prepare your body, aim for a gradually darkening environment as it subconsciously gets you to start the physiological processes required for sleep. Dimmable lights are a great option. Opt for the ones that allow you to dim or turn it off from distance. Having limited movements just before you snooze makes it easier for you to drift off into the land of nod. An alternative option is an eye mask which can also help to ensure that you are protected from the light.
  3. Keeping the right temperature The next element to consider is temperature. Are you feeling cold at night? Are you sweating a lot while you sleep? It is good to ask yourself these questions as it helps you understand the distractions that can possibly affect your sleep. Setting your air-conditioning to the right temperature and choosing a duvet with the right thickness can reduce the amount of times you wake up at night, because you feel uncomfortable. In general, many of us sleep better in cooler rooms – an ideal room temperature is approximately 18-20 degrees.
  4. Improve the air qualityAir quality is not the most obvious factor in getting a good night’s sleep, but unclean air or unbalanced humidity levels in your home can disturb your sleep and affect your health. Consider having live plants such as the Sansevieria Hahnii, also known as a birds nest snake plant to help filter indoor air. Apart from that, to achieve optimal sleep, ensure your bedroom is well ventilated, the humidity should neither be too moist nor too dry.
  5. Silent night to doze off Noise affects sleep as sound can stimulate the brain. Research shows that even when we are asleep, our mind is still aware when noise is made. The quieter the room, the better your quality of sleep. Simple solutions such as sound absorbers can help reduce noise, even more so if you are a light sleeper.
  6. Having the perfect ambience Choosing the right colours and bedding accessories does in some way influence your sleep. Studies have shown that people sleep best in a blue-coloured room, followed by yellow and green. Interesting enough, blue rooms can help a person attain an average sleep of 7 hours and 52 minutes a night. Being aware of these colours and possibility of evoking feelings of relaxation can help you create the perfect ambience to fall asleep faster and better.Aside from that, having a well-organise space can also influence your sleep. To put your mind at ease, opt for simple storage solutions for a clutter free room.You know that you have had a good night’s sleep when you feel refreshed and ready to take on the day! Remember, a good sleep means you get enough sleep without interruptions.

For the safety and well-being of all shoppers and co-workers, IKEA Malaysia stores have various preventive measures in place.

5 Things That Will Change Forever Due To The Pandemic (Probably)

The pandemic has brought about drastic changes in our lives. Living arrangements, habits, and the jobs of many people have taken a turn, for better or worse. Many things are now deemed to be the "new normal", but people are more than ready to go back to what used to be as soon as the pandemic is declared to be over. However, here are some things that will never be the same ever again, even if everything else did go back to normal:
  1. Personal HygieneMany people have taken personal hygiene much much more seriously since the start of the pandemic. Soap usage in toilets have become a norm, and hand sanitizers are as essential as (if not more than) a bottle of water when heading out. After 2 years of hand washing and hand sanitizing, the habit will most likely stay with us.
  2. Work and JobsAs the situation requires many of us to stay home just to flatten the curve, people have now realized that their job might not have been as essential as they have thought. Not only that, companies now have a better understanding about which departments needed to be physically in the office and which jobs can actually be done all over the country.Hence, we might see smaller company footprints (offices, factories) even after the pandemic and jobs that don't require physical presence might get outsourced to cheaper labor in other countries.
  3. ShoppingAlthough online shopping has been here for quite some time, many people have only had their first taste of online shopping during this pandemic. These people have now come to realized a world where a few extra Ringgits can save them from having to makeup, dress up and head out. We believe that many new online shops that sell everything from groceries to ice cream to tech products will be here to stay.
  4. MoneyBesides practicing good personal hygiene, the government - through various incentives and policies - has urged the public to choose e-wallets and other digital payment options over cash. As the e-wallet battle in Malaysia continue to heat up, we start to see more and more retailers (even roadside stalls) accepting a range of digital payment options. Whichever you decide to stick with e-wallets or the traditional credit cards, cash should be the last option for us post-pandemic.
  5. BusinessesSadly, the pandemic paired with multiple Movement Control Orders (MCO) has forced many business to shut their doors for good, with more and more businesses falling each day, especially in the Food & Beverages (F&B) industry. Even if the pandemic has subsided, it is very likely that we will not see these businesses come back. Instead, it will make way for a series of new shops and retailers which will hopefully bring some freshness to the area.
  So, what else do you think will stay the same post-pandemic? Do you think we'll ever go back to "normal"? We'll just have to wait and see.


M'sian With RM1.5k Salary Is Forced By Parents To Purchase A Honda

In Malaysia, most individuals rush to purchase a new car when they receive their first paycheck.They fail to realise, though, that sometimes having such expectations might be unhealthy, especially if you spend far more money than you have allocated.In this case, the parents of this Malaysian constantly compared their children to those of others.Ibu dan ayah kerap bertanya bila nak beli kereta Honda walhal gaji confessor RM1,500 sebulan.Sedih hidupnya dibandingkan dgn kejayaan anak orang lain. pic.twitter.com/wWZu1B9tdk— Emosi (@ConfessTweetMY) March 31, 2023 Instead, their children turned to social media to anonymously discuss their predicament about how they make RM1.5k per month yet their parents are highly insistent that they buy a Honda car.Even though it is their parents' dream car, they know deep down that they cannot afford it.Due to the fact that both their mother and father are no longer working, the children have teamed up to contribute to their support each month.But they've had enough, in a sense, and have advised them on how to live within their means.This person advises all parents to have good intentions and to pray for their children to land a good job so they may purchase a Honda car rather than slyly probing, "When are you going to get a Honda?"


Guests Need To Fork Out RM16k Just To Attend This British Model’s Lavish Wedding

We know the doom of inflation is among us, but surely theres a better way to have a dream wedding without inconveniencing other parties? As part of her attempt to "save money" on her grand wedding ceremony, which already reached a budget of £40,000 (RM213,767.20), a bride-to-be announced she will charge each of her wedding guests £100 (RM534. 36) to attend the impending ceremony.
  The 40-year-old OnlyFans model Carla Bellucci and her 52-year-old fiancé Giovanni are set to tie their wedding knot soon, but she has made it crystal clear that her 30 guests won't be able to enter her wedding venue for free on her big day; instead, they'll each have to fork out quite a hefty fee for an event that would otherwise be free typically; in order to attend.
  With the wedding taking place in Cape Verde, Africa, in July of next year, each guest will also need to cover the cost of their travel and accommodation to Carla's destination wedding all on their own.
  Photo: Cape Verde, AfricaIn total, her guests will need to prepare £3,000 just to be there, which, in her words, will ensure she can have "the best of everything" at her "dream" wedding without having to break the bank herself.After being named Britain's Most Hated Woman in 2019 for admitting to faking sadness to get a £7,000 (RM37,413.27) rhinoplasty, the OnlyFans model from Hitchin, Hertfordshire quipped that she is now "getting the last laugh" once more.
  In an interview with The Sun, she declared: "I adore the fact that other people will be paying for my fantasy wedding. Getting what I want without spending a lot of my own money gives me the upper hand once more."However, the model insisted that she isn't forcing her loved ones to come to the wedding out of necessity but emphasised that they will have to pay the £100 "fees" if they do.Would you come to a wedding if they ask for a payment?

Vaginal Perfume Exists & Apparently It Boosts Your Sexual Attraction Like Crazy

As outrageous as it may sound, yes, vaginal perfumes exist. How is it made, you ask? Well, for one, it's completely, a hundred percent, all-natural.
  I'm sorry, what?The whole thing is called vabbing: a combination of the words Vagina and Dabbing ... and yes, it's applied exactly as it sounds. To date, the hashtag #VabbingPerfume and #VabbingTikTok have so far garnered more than 15 million views on the TikTok platform alone. Obviously, this trend is picking up traction. But, how does it actually work?
  Here's a little... tutorial:It's fairly easy, as it turns out: gather your vaginal secretions just enough for you to dab it on the areas where you'd typically apply your perfume- under your ears, your wrists, the insides of your elbows... etc. The pheromones said to be emitted from your genital fluids will most likely attract a potential romantic or sexual partner or simply put: boost your sexual attraction off the roof. It goes without saying that if you're on your period of currently suffering from vaginal infections, it's probably not the best idea to practise vabbing. The question is: is it legit?
  Well, there's no scientific evidence that suggest pheromone-powered scents actually work on humans, according to Tristram Wyatt, an evolutionary biologist who specialises in various animals' scents and pheromones.However, the very act itself could uplift confidence in women who practice it, much like a placebo effect. In other words, there's no apparent harm in vabbing and it is completely up to an individual whether they'd adopt it into their routine or not . What about you? Would you consider giving this trend a try or let it die with time? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!


Khairy Jamaluddin Won't Be Joining Any Political Parties But Will Be Helping PN With Their PRU Campaign

Recently, a photo went viral showing former Malaysian Minister of Health, Khairy Jamaluddin, posing with the 8th Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, leading to speculations that Khairy Jamaluddin might join the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition. But it was reported that the former UMNO Youth Chief will not be joining any political party or forming a new party in the near future, according to a close source from PN. The source stated that Khairy Jamaluddin (KJ) is ready to collaborate with PN in the upcoming state election. "KJ has stated that he will not join BERSATU or any political party at the moment or establish a new party." "He is willing to help mobilize public support in our (PN) campaign for the upcoming state election." However, there has been no response from KJ regarding this issue. The Chief Information Officer of BERSATU, Datuk Razali Idris, confirmed that the meeting between Muhyiddin and Khairy took place at Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's residence in Bukit Damansara, but did not disclose further details as he was not present at the meeting. It is worth noting that in May, the Chairman of PN extended an offer to KJ to become a Senior Party Leader in BERSATU after receiving approval from other party leaders. Muhyiddin was reported saying that his party has two vacant leadership positions, without any intention of "luring" the former Member of Parliament for Rembau.
