Yangon served as Myanmar's capital until 2005. Now Naypyidaw holds that role. But Yangon stays the country's main city and trade center. It bursts with chaos, beauty, and bold flavors. Think crowded markets. Golden pagodas gleam. Street sellers hawk goods. All this shows Southeast Asia at its peak.

What does fashion have to do with philosophy?
I wrote a book blending fashion, witchcraft, and philosophy. It started as a culmination of the first two – fashion and witchcraft. With a title like “Alchemy of Fashion,” that makes sense, right!? But, like with any book or story, it took on a life of its own as I wrote it. In my personal life, I was diving back into my own personal philosophical studies, and suddenly philosophy started popping up in my manuscript. Now, if you read my book, you’ll get the answer to the question the title of this article ponders – but people sometimes want answers the easy way. That would be by asking me when I am at events selling my book. I thought, hey, why don’t I also write an article about it? Well, I also have a book planned down the pipeline that will also dive deep into the philosophy of fashion and introduce my own philosophical thoughts and ideals. That book is currently known as “Fashioned From Thought.” But it will be months before that book makes its way to the page, so, for now, let’s look at an overview of my thoughts on fashion and philosophy.

I am brutally honest with my opinion, and many people hate me for it. I am unapologetic when people who claim to be "Conservative Feminists" are offended when I say: "Conservatism and Feminism directly contradict each other; conservative feminism does not exist. You're not a feminist, you're a Radical Conservative." It's at that point civility dissolves from the other party, and they start calling me names or defending themselves instead of saying, "Excuse me? Explain yourself."

Gulo's Thermal Spa Treatment
We finally got to the thermal spa that we've been wanting to visit for two months. I formed a party of four that included my niece, myself and two of my teaching colleagues, Katie and Anna. I reserved a room for one hour for 3-5 people that had a hot and cold pool and a sauna for 200 GEL ($75), which is a decent price when you split it for four people.
