Vacuum massage experience

Some time ago, I bought vacuum cups for body massage and wet cleaner (vacuum skin cleansing device) for the face. I used both a few times now and I think I should share it with you.
I wasn’t sure whether or not I should buy those cups because from what I’ve heard vacuum massage leaves marks all other the body and I didn’t want that – I’d have to be sore all the time with bruises all over the body, and how is that better than cellulite? But since those cups were on sale I bought them anyway, along with the face cleaner.

Dear Diary,

I thought this day would never come. It is not that I came to Orlando because I wanted to see Mickey Mouse or something. It is just that The Dream of my childhood was about to come true. Well, to be frank, I had never dreamt about it. I always knew my family wouldn’t be able to afford it.

And now me and Moli, a friend of mine, were at this airport calling to a person who was supposed to give us a ride to the Hotel.

Circus in China

One of the most spectacular arts of China is of course circus. This art has been originated from the every day working routine of the plain peasants. During performing their every day activities the people used every single opportunity to develop their stamina and adroitness.

Rob Mulholland

Rob Mulholland is a Scottish artist who became famous mainly for his uncanny sculptures and installations. The models of Mulholland remind humans but being made of mirrored Perspex they look like actual ghosts haunting Scottish forests and lakes. The series Vestige consists of several Perspex-made male and female figures. And the view is really moving and disturbing at the same time. Initially Mulholland wanted to reveal the idea of human influence on nature. “The essence of who we are as individuals in relationship to others and our given environment forms a strong aspect of my artistic practice. In Vestige I wanted to explore this relationship further by creating a group, a community within the protective elements of the woods, reflecting the past inhabitants of the space”. The models distort the surrounding so that it looks very eerie and mysterious.

Scaring Art – Cursed Paintings

Art is beautiful in all its forms, however, the works of some painters make the audience fear of the picture rather than admire it. Some paintings are connected with strange and even mystic stories which can not be logically explained. The power of art can create miracles, but there are cases when these miracles are pretty scary ones.

The picture with the worst reputation is, probably, “Crying Boy” by Giovanni Bragolin. It presents a portrait of the painter’s son whom the artist made cry by holding burning matches in front of his face. The kid was afraid of fire and cried out of fear. A few weeks after the picture was finished the boy died from pneumonia, and Bragolin burnt alive in his house during a sudden conflagration. Then a series of conflagrations was reported in the Northern England – in all cases the houses were burnt to ashes except for the reproduction of “Crying Boy”. In result, the reproductions of this picture were declared cursed and the owners were told to get rid of them. The original “Crying Boy”, however, is still not found…

Are You ‘Spring’ or ‘Summer’?

Many girls and women follow the fashion and make-up trends but not all of them may be aware of the fact if this or that color shade matches their complexion. The theory of four types of appearance will be helpful for those who want to know their ideal color scheme of clothes, make-up and accessories. All the possible types of appearance are divided into four groups which are named after the four seasons. The reason for that division is the existence of a number of common features that make the one appearance type differ from the three rest ones. Consider what features are typical of you to make sure that you are a mild and delicate “spring” or a bright elegant “winter”.

Michelangelo Pistoletto

Michelangelo Pistoletto is an Italian artist regarded as a leading figure of Arte Povera movement. Many of his works are socially oriented. Thus his famous installation The Third Paradise refers to the idea of creation a perfect place where people would live in harmony with nature. The work was presented for the first time in 2005 during the 51st Venice Biennale. Why it has such a name? According to Pistoletto the third paradise combines features of the first and second paradises. The first one refers to the paradise where “humans were fully integrated into nature”. As for the second one then it is an artificially created place “developed by humans through a process that has now reached globalizing proportions. This paradise is made of artificial needs, artificial products, artificial comforts, artificial pleasures, and every other form of artifice”. What about the third paradise? Pistoletto sees it as “the passage to a new level of planetary civilization, essential to ensure the human race’s survival. The Third Paradise is the new myth that leads everyone to take personal responsibility at this momentous juncture”.
