Some rules of topless-etiquette

April 14th, 2007 by webmaster

It is considered, that the first to sunbathe “without top” was firstly introduced by emancipated French ladies. Their “innovation” can be challenged only by Papuans and the natives scattered on various warm breadths of globe. Polynesians have, eventually, sunbathed topless for thousand years. But that the Frenchmen women have precisely introduced in this procedure is so that it is a glamour with which they do all other things.
In 1960 naiads, walking around with a naked breast became the integral attribute of a beach life of the French Riviera. The situation in the USA is quite unstable, there, the model, who the first dared to dump fetters of a bra at Michigan Lake coast, has caused great interest not only at gapers and photographers, but also at policemen, who have immediately arrested her. Today, though the majority of people still remain true to traditional bathing suits, actually on the majority of the well-known beaches, top part is completely not obligatory now.
Rio de Janeiro beaches are traditionally considered as the best places for topless sunbathes. After a passionate Carnival, Brazilians have also invented the most microscopic bikinis in the world. The bra there is perceived as a certain atavism. The similar situation is in Blacks Beach in California.
Here topless girls sunbathe on mountain rocks. Their rest is disturbed only with surfers and parachutes, who have also chosen this picturesque coast, the photographers eager to fresh beauty.
Bali’s Kuta Beach is one of the world topless resorts. It is worth of mentioning that topless here is like a dress-code. If you wish to admire a fantastic decline, you are welcome, but the top from a bathing suit should be hidden in the beach bag. Miami south beach is, probably, the best topless-beach in the USA. Its “party” atmosphere involves crowds of young, beautiful and sexy people here.
Saint Barthélemy Island, better known as St. Barts Island, shines with typically Gallic composure concerning topless beach. No restrictions here are present, local inhabitants are very much proud of the progressive attitude to a beach fashion and meet approving sights of all beginners.

April 1st, 2007 by webmaster

Excellent suit, expensive mobile phone, the fast machine, the magnificent, cozy house, charming lady - here is a list of successful men. Have we forgotten something? And what about healthy complexion? And about modern hair dress?
Eventually, and that is the “beauty of nails “, which is the important detail of appearance.
A lot of men have already realized this simple truce. More and more men start to trust work above the appearance to professionals.
Word “to trust” is not casual. As representatives of specialized man’s interiors admit, the man, as a rule, cautiously entrusts the body in hands of other person. We shall not search for the deep psychological reasons of such closeness.
What are the beauty salons for men?
Here there are no women-visitors before whom it is necessary to defy and fill on itself with importance. And the stuff (without words) guesses all your desires. Here it is possible to relax. Perhaps, because of an atmosphere of slackness and an openness many constant clients of man’s beauty salons get there new business contacts. However, a cosmetic procedure is a very intimate business. This peculiarity is promptly understood in JP Barbers interior. Here each visitor is offered a separate room, where manipulations with a body of the client are being carried out. And for saving the time, some masters can serve their client at once.

How the ideals of female beauty changed

March 10th, 2007 by webmaster

Different epochs dictated different standards of female beauty. How they did they eventually vary?
Antique times brought the first cult of beauty. A concept of ideal beauty was in harmoniously combined body, smooth lines of the breast, the expressed waist and wide hips. Sculptors of that time modeled only such figures. For example, the proportions of the well-known Venus are 86-69-93 at 164 cm. growth.
In X-XII a century Europe the new ideal of beauty was generated. Troubadours glorified fragile, pale ladies, defenseless and helpless on a kind. Everything, beginning from high growth and finishing a high forehead, came into fashion. Ladies shaved off a part of the hair framed the face in order to open their forehead. To make the neck seem longer and thin, the nape was shaved. Thin hands, long fingers and long legs were appreciated.
The only paradoxical thing was the fact that the standard of beauty meant noticeable, big stomach. Those ladies, whom the nature has awarded with a flat stomach, have also found a way out. They put the special platen simulating the increased stomach under the dress.
In the Medieval Europe reined the rigid orders established by Catholic Church. The physical beauty was considered sinful. Therefore women put on the dresses, almost completely hiding a figure.
But even during those uneasy times there was a standard of beauty. It was a harmonious woman, neither thin, nor plum. Diminutiveness was highly appreciated. Everything should be small - growth, hands, foot, breast.
After strict times the era of the Revival time has come. Magnificent bodies have started to be appreciated. Plum hands, wide hips and magnificent breast were considered as special advantages. Smooth bends of a body were emphasized as much as possible - by means of special breed of a dress, deep décolleté and short sleeves.
In the end of XVI century in Italy style of a baroque which in XVII century has grasped practically all Europe has appeared. The fashion included luxury, pretentiousness and airs and graces. Time of so-called doll beauty has come.
Women should remind fragile figurines. The standard of appeal meant the unreal thin waist, small head on a long “swan” neck, sloping shoulders and a small breast.
Some ladies starved themselves because of constant under eating.
Finally the XX century has come - it is time of emancipation. Women began to go in for sports and give a maximum of attention to the physical activity. There was an absolutely other standard of female beauty - the sunburn, well developed muscular system, self-confidence and self-sufficiency.

Chocolate as a powerful medicine

February 26th, 2007 by webmaster

Here is good news for the “chocolate eaters” and those, who are fed up with diets! Now you can cite scientific data in the confirmation of positive influence of chocolate on brain activity.
Consumption of chocolate strengthens brain activity and gives short-term splash of cognitive skills. Such conclusion has been made by the group of the British scientists under direction of Professor Ian Macdonald from the Nottingham University.
The scientists have investigated a hot chocolate drink in which a plenty of flavanols - the basic component of dark chocolate- contained. It was found out, that flavanols cause inflow of blood to key zones of a brain. This effect lasts for 2-3 hours that is enough for activation of the general brain activity and for the improvement of ability to cope with specific tasks.
The work of the British scientists, being represented at one of the largest scientific conferences in the USA, has caused the big interest. Prospects of chocolate application for treatment of vascular infringements, senile dementia and an insult were widely discussed. In chocolate the flavanols can be useful to struggle against chronic weariness, infringements of a dream and even for delay of ageing processes.
In his report Ian MacDonald has represented the results of the nuclear-magnetic brain tomography.  The attributes of strengthening of activity of a brain after the drunken cup of hot chocolate are obviously visible at these tomograms. An explanation of this effect is quite easy - the flavanols cause the expansion of blood vessels in brain, and the increase in the maintenance of oxygen in brain cells.
Unfortunately, nothing was told about the flavanoids. Ian McDonald has only informed, that the chocolate drink has been prepared in a special way, and flavanoids have other concentration in usual drinks.
Besides chocolate, flavanoids can also be found in the red wine, green tea, and bilberry.

IQ myths

February 21st, 2007 by webmaster

Myth â„–1 The final figure, being given to you after the end of the IQ test, is a parameter of your mind and abilities.
Actually The test contains some sections (so-called subtests) - on abstract, verbal, figurative thinking, etc. Results of subtests are summarized, and the average value as a result is being stood out. Hence, a person, having an outstanding figurative thinking and very poor logic, will get an average final result.
Myth â„–2 The higher IQ is, the clever its owner will be.
Actually There is a joke that high parameters of the test show not the intelligence of the person, but the ability to pass tests for factor of intelligence. In fact IQ points are a parameter of ability of the person to learn something new. It is a degree to which the person can observe and understand an event. But neither to practical mind, nor to creative abilities is related.
Myth â„–3 The person with high IQ has more chances, than others, to succeed in business.
Actually For achievement of vital success persistence and high motivation without fail should be applied on high parameters of intelligence. The person possessing high intelligence, but deprived persistence, can waste all life pending “the high time”. The person, persevered in knowledge but unmotivated by any purposes, risks to waste all possible opportunities. The combination has persistence plus of motivation, let even at absence of strongly pronounced intelligence has the greatest chances for success.

Beautiful eyelashes

February 10th, 2007 by webmaster

As is known, eyes and eyelashes sharply react to polluted air, a dust and even on a make-up: eyes inflame and eyelashes become thin and lifeless… How can we protect them?
- It is necessary to do special procedures two times a day, in the morning and in the evening, for eyelashes and a skin around eyes. For the beginning we advise you to refuse from the soap. It is useful to wash rather with warm green tea or boiled water in the morning and then to humidify eyelids with a cream. In the evening, before night rest, you should clear eyes of a make-up. It is necessary to use only special means for make-up removing.
Before going sleep you should smear eyelashes with vitaminized balsams or oils for eyelashes and creams for skin around the eyes - they should be low-fat. Burdock, castor and rose oils contain in structure of the universal remedies for eyelashes and eyelids skin. The cream for the skin around eyes should be special. It is better to have two creams: one - gelatinous, and the second one - in the form of easy emulsion. In a warm season it is necessary to use a cream-gel in the morning, and in the evening - emulsion-cream. The rest of the cream should be carefully removed with a napkin - the cream which has remained for night, will inevitably cause puffiness in the morning.
How is it correctly to mass eyelids, rubring medical creams-balms?
- Massage is made with soft circular slight strokings by small pillows of fingers. You should start from an internal corner of an eye, then - to move on an upper eyelid in a direction to temples and on a lower eyelid and -again to a nose. Balms for eyelashes should be accurately rubred in edge of the eyelid by finger. Many modern balms and oils are issued in the form of transparent medical ink with a brush.
Preventive creams for eyelids and balms for eyelashes should be applied before the occurrence of the first wrinkles. If wrinkles have already appeared, choose creams with vitamins A, Е and liposomes.

Cosmetic peeling

February 9th, 2007 by webmaster

Despite of the age difference there are general rules of skin care and procedures which are necessary for all women.
Peelings are, certainly, on the first place. Each woman should regard peeling as natural as taking a shower in the morning. The so-known golden (either bronze, or chocolate) sunburn is an attempt of an organism to protect it from the harmful ultraviolet rays. So, the sunburn is keratin barrier to these rays. But it is also a barrier to all useful nutrients with which we try “to feed up” our skin, using various creams and cosmetic wheys. Therefore, buying a cream for 100 (and sometimes and more expensive) euro think over that in case at such keratin callousness presence on the skin (no matter, how nice it would be) only 5 % (or even less) of useful substances will be accepted by the skin.
How to raise the permeability of your skin? The answer is simple: make a peeling! Peeling is necessary for all women. Never try to save on this procedure; without a peeling any other influence will have much smaller effect, in other words, at least, a part of money you will throw out all for nothing.
What is the peeling? The mechanism of damage of the skin top layers removal by means of an acid is put into the basis of chemical peeling. In the result of this damage, protective and regenerative mechanisms of the skin are rejuvenated. Depending on depth of damage chemical peelings can be divided into superficial (within the limits of a horn layer), median (concerning all depth of epidermis, up to papillary skin layer) and deep (with damage of the papillary skin layer).
Don’t be mistaken - even a superficial peeling can’t be done at home. At home you will only carry out cosmetician’s recommendations on preparation for peeling or on after-peeling care procedures. It is only the expert who will manage to make competent diagnostics of your skin and develop your individual plan on peeling procedures.

The truth about warts (Part 2)

February 8th, 2007 by webmaster

Whether the treatment is possible?
The modern medicine gives wide enough spectrums of methods of destruction of warts and papillomas. For example, it can be the removal by means of liquid nitrogen (cryolysis) or by means of the surgical laser (ultraviolet laser). These operations are completely not terrible and are done frequently under local anesthesia. After procedure small wound, remained from a wart or a papilloma, heals within one-two weeks, and seams thus remain extremely seldom. But the advanced, effective and less painful for today is a method the radio surgical method based on high energy of radio waves. It is quite expensive, but it approaches for removal of peaked condilomas.
Certainly, there are many methods of treatment in national medicine. For example, smearing over a wart with a leather of a wood frog something from old medical products of our grandmothers can help to get rid of warts. Or for example, folk healers advise to drip on a tumor juice of an aloe, a thuja or celandine. These simple recipes help in many cases, but it is necessary to remember, that celandine, for example, - is a dangerous plant for the person, and nobody knows reaction of your organism to it. So, as a result of treatment the infection can extend only on an organism, and you receive instead of one some more new tumors.
In any case, treatment of warts on a body yet does not mean disposal of an organism from VPP, and the unequivocal and simple decision on the given question for today, alas, does not exist! To deduce VPP from an organism completely is extremely difficult- meanwhile it is not thought up a preparation for destruction of this virus, but essentially to reduce its concentration it is possible. As it was already repeatedly spoken, for this purpose it is necessary to strengthen immune system.
But it is not necessary to despair, that there is no miracle way for ever to get rid of a virus of a papilloma. Even if you know, that are the carrier of the VPP, you may get rid of warts, pass course of treatment and then observe rules of elementary hygiene - the virus living in you for certain will not be shown any more on a skin in the form of ugly tumors. Besides for strengthening immune system it is necessary to adhere to the balanced diet with the obligatory maintenance of vitamins A, C and E.

The truth about warts

February 7th, 2007 by webmaster

To all faults is a virus
Actually warts, papillomas and peaked condyloma are the virus disease caused by a virus of a papilloma of the person, or VPP. And that fact is interesting, that there are more people-carriers VPP, than at whom the virus is not present. The matter is that, if you are the carrier of a virus, but possess a high level of immunity, warts can not appear. But as soon as immunity is weakened (because of illness, shortage of vitamins, etc.), VPP starts to prove in the form of not too pleasant benign new growths on a skin. In total there are about 60 kinds papiloma viruses of the person, therefore tumors can be of different types. Some of these viruses can cause even malignant tumors.
It is almost impossible to stop spreading of VPP, this virus is transferred extremely simply: at contact to patients (for example, through hand shake), through subjects of a life, sexual by, at sorts, etc. In an organism it gets through a mucous membrane and then gets into a nervous fabric.
Warts, papillomas, condylomas
AS already it has been told above, VPP can cause various formations on a skin, not only warts. But even the last ones happen of several kinds. The widest circulation was received with three kinds: simple, plantar and flat. The first, the most widespread, look as small cambers with rough light grey or even a black-yellow surface, in diameter up to 10 mm. Plantar warts are more painful as they are formed on soles of the legs which are being constant friction with footwear. Flat warts are widespread much less and are represented as a yellow-brown nodule, usually arising on the face.
Papillomas are other benign tumors caused by the VPP. They are distinguished from warts with a presence of a small leg on which the head of a tumor fastens. Papillomas appear on a neck, the face or (more often) in armpits.
The third kind of tumors - peaked condilomas are difficult to be noticed. Usually they appear on mucous of external genitals. They can be easily defined by the touch; these are small inspissations, blebs of a pink color.
Groups of risk
There are many versions concerning what percent of the population of the Earth has warts on the body of. By different estimations, from 50 up to 75 % of people of our planet ever met this phenomenon, and simultaneously they are at even for 8-10 %. Perhaps, this is one of the most widespread skin diseases.
The virus “lives” in nervous fabrics of a human body, and the occurrence of warts on a body is directly connected with a condition of nervous system. Therefore a popular belief that «if to forget about “trouble” it will disappear», has some basis under itself. Nervous shocks, stresses and excitements, strangely enough, are one of the reasons of occurrence of warts. So, according to statistics, nearly 50 % of tumors disappear independently within two years.
Those who suffer excessive sweating are most subjected to VPP and those people on whose skin there are micro traumas, cracks and grazes, and also in the group of risk. In general, warmly and a moisture is a favorite inhabitancy of this virus. Therefore it can appear at those who carries inconvenient footwear and at whom whose legs sweat. In no event it is impossible to go barefoot in public baths and pools.
Basically all age categories are subjected to a virus of a papilloma, but the greatest group of risk is represented by children. So, almost 20 % of pupils have warts.

One wrinkle, two wrinkles

February 6th, 2007 by webmaster

If you are 30-40 years old …
Reaching the age of 30 years old, according to scientific data, hormonal activity of the woman starts to decrease. The skin of the face, in particular, now especially sensitively reacts to any changes in an organism. And any stresses, overeating and other excesses and troubles are immediately reflected in its appearance. Color of the face becomes dim and even grey, puffiness, wrinkles are more distinctly visible.
Therefore more careful care of the “matured” skin is necessary, rather than behind a young skin. Certainly, someone succeeds with genes, and at such women seems young even at the age 35 years old. But it actually just seems, because the nature can’t be outwitted. And sooner or later (if you still do not care about the time) age changes will overtake you, it will only be much more difficult to cope with them.
So, a peeling of the higher concentration for those to who are 30 years old is urgently necessary. And now it is especially obligatory, as serious peelings unequivocally possess rejuvenating effect, removing “unnecessary” layers of a skin and simultaneously “increasing” thickness of derma - in fact in the course of time it becomes thinner and thinner … Besides regular massage, both manual, and hardware (they can be alternated) massages are necessary. Massages allow to stimulate vessels owing to what there will be an outflow of a superfluous liquid and a skin becomes smoother, equal and elastic.
Sometimes some 30-years women already require the planimetric plastic of the face. The doctor enters special preparations into wrinkles on a forehead, around of eyes, nose folds etc. As the result, the skin is smoothed and looks younger. Also it is not necessary to forget about mezotherapy procedures, with the use of the concentrated means, and a course of 1 time half a year.
Home care assumes the use of the cosmetics intended for a skin of “average” age. It is a cream-lifting, a nutritious and, certainly, humidifying creams. Only now it is necessary to use a cream, instead of gel.
From 40 …
Cosmeticians advise 40-year-old women to do regular injections of hyaluronic acids which are necessary for a skin “in the age of 40″. It smoothes, supports necessary acid balance, a moisture. And it is also necessary once a week to visit cosmetic cabinet for various procedures: massage, lifting, etc. At the age of 40 years the more serious peeling is highly recommended. It stimulates development of own collagen - an element necessary for a youth of the skin. After this peeling the face looks fresh, young, tightened.
At home it is necessary to use necessarily “age” cosmetics with lightening effect, you should carefully feed your skin with creams and humidify it.
