Schools worldwide send warning letters to parents about Squid Game

Oct 11 2021

Schools have started issuing warnings to parents asking them to prohibit their kids from watching Netflix’s newest hit series Squid Game. The Korean dystopian series is inching to become Netflix’s most viewed series of all time, with even a South Korean broadband company suing Netflix due to such a surge in traffic to watch it. However, the series’ inclusion of children’s games (with a fatal twist) have prompted schools worldwide to issue warnings to parents.

Schools from all over, from Kent to Belgium, have been sending letters to parents, warning them of the show’s violent nature. Some schools even claimed that kids were imitating the series, beating up the players who lose games like ‘Green Light, Red Light.’ Even charity Parentkind issued a warning about the series, saying that parents should be the ones deciding whether the series is watched. Whether this is a legitimate concern or another mania similar to the video game induced violence myth, the series’ impact is undoubtedly massive in scale.

Put mayo in your coffee says Hellmann’s in bizarre tweet

Oct 11 2021

There’s never been a weirder food combination than what brand Hellmann’s recently suggested. The ‘real mayonnaise’ product urged fans to put the eggy sauce into their coffee, and social media is going absolutely ballistic. The ridiculous controversy started when Hellmann’s simply tweeted out; ‘Mayo in your coffee. That’s it, that’s the tweet.’

People had very mixed reactions bordering on the confused and the angry. One said ‘Love you intensely, Hellmann’s, but this tweet is pure violence.’ Another said ‘even bad coffee doesn’t deserve that kind of wrong.’ The brand responded by ‘pointing out the benefits’ of putting mayo in coffee. They included; having mayo in your coffee, and having coffee in your mayo… Well, we don’t know about any of you but we’re not ready to try this out just yet. If you are, good luck with that but for us these two delicacies are not to be mingled.

5 benefits of laser hair removal

Oct 11 2021

The year is 2021 and self-care is as important as ever. Whether it’s taking care of your mental health or making sure you are in tip-top shape, taking care of oneself should always be a priority. Naturally, one of the most tedious and demanding self-care routines is controlling body hair, but you can kiss those problems goodbye thanks to laser hair removal. The convenient procedure rids you of any excess body hair in a few easy steps and here are some of its benefits:

You’ll Save Money in the Long Run

One of laser hair removal’s primary benefits is the amounts you save on razors and shaving supplies. Upkeep and maintenance will be a thing of the past and you can forget spending money on waxing strips, shaving foam or any other products as the treatment will have you covered for quite a while. To make things even better, the gentle and effective process will make sure you are as comfortable as possible doing it.

Eliminate Ingrown Hairs

Since laser hair removal quite literally goes to the root of the problem, it is the best and most effective way of removing ingrown hairs. This will save you numerous painful experiences as the procedure tackles the problem from the root or the hair follicle and thus eliminates ingrown hairs once and for all. Once the follicle will no longer be able to produce hair, the area will begin to heal and you are covered.

It Saves Time

Apart from saving hundreds, if not thousands, on shaving-related products, laser hair removal will save you hours of upkeep by bypassing the habitual pre-outing shave. By signing up for the procedure, you are making more time for yourself by being clean shaven and ready to go, no matter what the situation. Save yourself months of shaving and maintenance in around 6 sessions with 6-8 week intervals, depending on the treated area.

Gives you lasting results and leaves your skin smoother and silkier

Due to the fact that laser hair removal will tackle hair from the follicles, the procedure will give you lasting silky smooth skin. The laser is attracted to the melanin in the hair follicle, where it is converted into heat energy. Thus, it destroys the stem cell in the hair follicle and prevent future growth. Naturally, one should note that people with darker hair and lighter skin are easier to treat as there is a greater difference between the amount of melanin in the skin and hair.

Good for all body areas, and ideal prior to tattooing

The extraordinary process makes use of Candela GentleLase Pro and Candela GentleLase Pro-U technology which will not only deliver quality treatment in a fraction of the usual time but utilise top of the range cooling devices to ensure maximum comfort. Beyond being FDA approved, the treatments are gentle effective and offer the desired results at the lowest possible price.

Send this to someone who needs laser hair removal ASAP.
