"Dear" bloody Mary!

Hi, how are you? I haven't heard from you since the last scary movie I saw. I have to mention that ever since I've come to know your legend, I can hardly fall asleep without the lights on. Sometimes I stand in front of the mirror, doing nothing, looking forward to you, calling your name, but you never show up… How would you like to keep our "friendship" like that?! Anyway, I'm writing this letter to tell you about an extremely frightening experience I had, which also allowed me get over all my fears.


One stormy night my friends and I threw a slumber party. It was Friday the 13th and the rain almost couldn't stop. We decided to get up onto the top of my building and have a séance. Firstly, we set together holding hands, and made a promise that no matter what happens, this can never come out of our lips, which means that it's our dirty little secret from now on. Then we decided whose name we were going to call. A part of us wanted to call Elvis Presley but the majority wanted to call the inventor of "Loacker" chocolate, so we called him. Ten minutes passed and no one answered or gave a little sign. Twenty minutes… and we were still waiting with closed eyes. And then right before we gave up, we all felt for a fraction of a second the taste of the waffle in our mouths. Nothing like that has ever happened to me before.


I'm telling it to you because I know you're the only person(?!) who can actually understand. I hope you enjoyed my letter. Please write back or I'd have to buy another mirror for my room and disturb you every night…don't forget the only living friend you have!

See you soon Hila

PS: Send my love to Alfons Loacker.

"WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?"

CAN WE EVER STOP THE TIME? IS THE BEAUTY ETERNAL? WHY DOES OUR SKIN GET OLDER? HOW DOES ALL THAT HAPPEN? ANY MORE QUESTIONS? OH, THERE IS ONE: DO THEY EVER END?

Well, maybe they don't or maybe it's all about us, as long as we are here, so are they. Then, where are we? at(in) the middle of the(our) life or at the end? Find out more about yourself in this new exhibition:



se la vie!
Every woman around the age of fourthy(sp.) finds a few wrinkles on her skin. And by(at) that moment she finds out that she had just got a whole new problem for herself. So how does it really happen?


The aging of a skin is a very long and complicated progress(don't you process?). It's affected by many physiological factors. The accumulation of all of them together, makes what we see on an old skin.
.

The main factor is the renewal rhythm(ww.) of the cells which becomes slower as the years pass and the person gets older. Also we can never ignore the affect(ww. - effet) of the sun rays, which damages(gr.) the exposed cells. Other factors would be genetics, hormones, nutrition and environment.
.

The best ways to keep our skin smooth for a long time are: Avoiding too much sun rays exposure(the order of words is incorrect), eating appropriately, drinking water – and a lot, keeping a healthy lifestyle.


But remember: All these may save your skin for a longer time, but it won't save you from having wrinkles at all. At the end, they appear anyway.



Anti aging?!
If wrinkles will appear anyway, is there any way to stay beautiful forever?
Well, maybe there is…
Aphrodite, the love and the beauty goddess from the Greek mythology, is one of the twelve Olympians. The Greeks believed that Aphrodite was born in the water from a special wave. She was the symbol of love and beauty. She lived an eternal life and she never got ugly or older. Aphrodite supported the lovers and saved them from the ones who avoided love.
.

Her role was very significant in life because the Greeks believed in the power of beauty and the human's body. Thanks to Aphrodite they won beauty and love.
Maybe beauty, love and eternal life gets(gr.) along better with the Greek mythology then(sp.) with the(מיותר) real life. But still, Aphrodite lived her whole life, admiring her body and her beauty, and that's how she managed living an eternal life.


Although we can't live for ever, like Aphroite, we can make life longer.
Love your body, love your soul and believe that no matter what, you are a strong person, and you'll see how long and beautiful life would be. Even more than that, you'll see that people can become old and stay pretty, admired and strong!
