Every day thousands of people use Beauty Products, while going to work, sitting at home, or taking a shower. Have you ever gone on a date without perfume or brushed your teeth? Probably you did not. Well, do you have any information about these products that you use in your daily life? Have you thought about how eco-friendly and sustainable they are? Let's forget about sustainability, what if it contains something that is not good for your health? Oh, wait no, do not forget about sustainability. Let's find out together because I didn't know much either until I wrote this article.

Nigeria has a tropical climate; hot and humid in the coastal area of south, but increasingly dry towards the north. Ezugwu (2015) identified the available renewable energy sources in Nigeria to be solar, hydropower, biomass and wind. Solar energy is freely available in all parts of the country which favors the use of its radiation for energy in buildings

One of the main advantages of being in an international community is: food!

How many times do we wash our hands with soap every day? 5-10-15? Even maybe more for people who are suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder. So what do we know about these soaps that are part of our lives? What do we know about the history of soaps, which became even more popular after the pandemic period? You always buy soap, but have you ever tried to make soap yourself?

In Nigeria, the demand for palm kernel oil – extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree – is estimated to be double than what local producers can currently supply. Palm oil is used for cooking and it is also an important ingredient in a variety of food and cosmetics products.

The second-hand tradition has started to become a trend at an incredible speed recently. Flea markets, which are described as second-hand sellers, are one of them. A flea market (or swap meet) is a type of street market that provides space for vendors to sell previously owned (second hand) goods. These purchase points have become a must-stop for sustainable consumption that is based on the reuse of all sorts of things. İt can be easily argued that flea markets and thrift stores have a significant positive impact on the environment. In fact, flea markets have recently become one of the indispensable addresses of tourists. It is possible to find very beautiful antique products at incredibly cheap prices in these markets. Of course, sometimes you don't know if they are real, so we may have to be careful about it. I regret to say that the concept of second-hand clothing is not very common in Azerbaijan and people find it strange. But recently, the flea market, where second-hand antiques are sold, has also become common in our country. I love visiting flea markets mostly in the countries I visit and a few days ago I visited one of the flea markets in Budapest. Unfortunately, many stores were closed in this market because it was wintertime. But I think I will visit it again, thinking that it will come to life more in summer.

A festivity has been defined as the celebration of something in a joyful and exuberant way. 

Cultural discoveries between Azerbaijan and Hungary

It is possible to find products of all colors and varieties in the Szatyorstore, that are related to the autumn season. Many products of these are not common in Azerbaijan and we do not use them.

In the Grundkert community garden, which is a part of the volunteering project, crops in the garden have been a bit disrupted due to long-term repairs and renovations. But even the renewal process did not prevent the flowers in the garden from blooming and adding color to our lives. At the same time, some red fish live in the small pond in the garden. I hope the renovation work will be finished soon and the new seeds will find life in the garden before winter comes.
