Kiev Photo Gallery (This is my best friend Denis city)
















(Kiev) Photo Gallery -- is a comprehensive archive of pictures and short stories about most wonderful places of Kiev, the Capital of Ukraine.
Kyiv is a really beatiful city with its marvellous hills and unique sightseeings. Having bunch of trees and flowers it is always associated with chestnuts. Kyiv architectural landscape is unique. Due to the huge number of orthodox churches it isKyiv, a scenic city of close to 3 million people situated on the Dnipro River, is the bustling capital of Ukraine. Ancient Kievan Rus, which reached its greatest period of ascendancy during the 11th and 12th centuries, was a center of trade routes between the Baltic and the Mediterranean. The city of Kyiv and the power of Kievan Rus were destroyed in 1240 by Mongol invaders and the lands of Kievan Rus were divided into principalities located to the west and north: Galicia, Volynia, Muscovy and later, Poland, Lithuania, and Russia.

But after gaining the independence by Ukraine in 1991 it significantly restored it's political and economic weight. called sometimes the Gold-Domed city.

Beauty Tips for Boys


A lot of boys are bashful when it comes to beauty, often because they'd prefer to be rugged, masculine or handsome, anything but beautiful!
Thankfully with a wealth of new men's health and personal care products on the market looking your very best is easier than ever before. Take care of yourself properly and - cliché though it may be - your natural beauty will be shining through in no time!
Looking After Your SkinThe teenage years are a traumatic time for your skin. Hormonal changes, excess oil production, sweat and air and water pollution all contribute to spots. A lot of times these breakouts aren't restricted to your face, but can even pop up on your shoulders, back and bum! Fight back by using face and body wash, and investigate the wide range of male skincare products in your local chemist's shop. Be sure to pick up:
A good all over cleanser, such as soap or body wash.
Moisturizer for dry skin.
Facial exfoliator (grainy scrub) to help remove dead skin cells, which you should use a few times per week.
Face wash for your skin type: dry/sensitive, normal, oily or combination.
Toner to improve your skin tone and tighten pores.
Facial moisturizer to leave your face feeling silky smooth.
A rich shaving gel to help your razor glide over your skin.
A razor with an aloe and/or vitamin strip to discourage nasty razor burn.
The contact information of a recommended dermatologist if you feel that your skin needs professional attention.
Looking After Your TeethGood oral hygiene is sometimes a forgotten beauty secret, but nothing could be less attractive than dirty, stained teeth, puffy gums and bad breath. Make sure that you rise above this disgusting state by:

Finding a toothbrush shaped to fit your mouth.
Toothpaste in a flavour you like.
Antiseptic and anti-plaque mouthwash.
Dental floss to pass between your teeth and dislodge debris.
Using all three of these products in combination after every meal.
Visiting your dentist for regular check-ups and cleaning.
Looking After Your HairAlmost as nasty as poor oral hygiene is lank, greasy hair. Visit a barber or hairstyle to ask for the right haircut for your face shape, not what is simply trendy or cheap. When you get home, keep this hair heaven with:
A shampoo for your hair type - thin, thick, coloured, dry, oily or normal.
Daily shampooing to clean your hair.
Conditioner to leave your hair shiny, healthy and smooth.
A comb to help navigate your tangles.
Gel or another styling product to help hold your preferred style.
Looking After the RestThere's so much more to looking fantastic, but so little time! Carve out a few extra minutes to:
Apply deodorant and/or antiperspirant liberally each morning.
Pluck any stray hairs between your eyebrows.
Trim any nose or ear hairs that you can see.
Use sunscreen every day, even if it is cloudy or rainy outside.
Buy a small lip balm to treat chapped lips.
Splurge on cologne for an extra boost.Looking good shouldn't be hard work. As soon as you get into a daily routine of looking after your skin, teeth and hair you should start to see results. But, even if you morph into a male model overnight, remember that beauty is only skin deep. Strive to look your best, be yourself and have fun!

New AXE Scent :Instinct


AXE has a new scent for men. It’s called Instinct and my son, Max, 18, is loving it. The line includes Shower Gel, Deodorant Body Spray, Deodorant, and Antiperspirant. It has a definite Woody scent. When Max first puts it on, the smell reminds me of camping. It’s warm and smokey - the leather and wood notes are clear.
This is the best that AXE has to offer, in my opinion. Some of the other scents are too heavy on the Mossy notes and there’s one that Max has tried that gave me a headache. I’m glad that AXE is working on making their scents more sniffer-friendly, as half the population of US teen boys are wearing it in some forAXE Instinct:

Clean Skin


  • Pimples, zits, volcanic eruptions whatever you call them spots can be a real pain and totally embarrassing. But before you put a paper bag over your head here’s our guide for healthy skin that glows with confidence…
    It’s a teen issue
    If you suffer from bad skin then you are not alone. According to Dr Jane Collins at Great Ormond Street Hospital, eighty five percent of 12 to 25 years olds will have spots at some point. They usually appear during puberty and affect more boys than girls due to testosterone levels that tend to make them worse. Having said that many female celebrities often get the odd occasional spot - just check out Britney Spears next time she makes a dash behind the camera!
    What causes spots?
    Believe it or not, spots are not directly caused by unclean skin or eating the wrong kind of foods like sweets, crisps, fry ups or chocolate. They are to do with hormones and an oily substance called sebum. Sebum usually keeps the skin nice and soft but if too much is produced it can block pores and trap bacteria turning the skin red and in the worst cases promoting acne. In puberty sebum can go into over drive hence why teenagers are more prone to bad skin than adults.
    Don’t squeeze
    If untreated spots and acne can lead to permanent scaring so it’s important that you get them treated fast. The best way to combat bad skin is not to pick or squeeze spots because as tempting as it is, it does your skin more harm than good and if you have dirty fingers it can lead to nasty infections.
    Treatments
    There are various treatments and lotions available for keeping spots under control and these are usually very effective.
    For mild acne, make sure you wash the affected area gently every day and apply a spot treatment directly to the skin to help clear the condition. Treatments can be bought directly from your chemist without a prescription but in the first instance its always best to check with your parents. The most effective treatments contain benzoyl peroxide. Anti bacterial face washes can also help and after a couple of weeks you should begin to see some pleasant results.
    If however, there doesn’t seem to be any improvement, or if your acne is very severe, then it’s advisable visit your doctor who may be able to give you another form of treatment, such as retinoic acid (a form of vitamin A), or a topical antibiotic lotion.
    Preventing spots
    Once your spots or acne has cleared up it’s important that you maintain a regular skin care programme to make sure the spots don’t return.
    Cleansing
    Cleansing is a really important part of looking after your skin and helps wash away any lingering oils and perspiration.
    Make sure to wash with a mild soap and warm water everyday but don’t scrub too hard because this can actually work in reverse and promote even more oils!
    Exercise
    Circulation is great for the skin and the best way to boost circulation is through exercise.
    Try to exercise every day by walking to school and playing physical games at lunchtime.
    Regular exercise also helps to maintain stress, which is thought to be a common cause of spots and acne.
    Sleep
    Sleep is really important for good skin because it’s during this time that the skin renews itself. Most people require eight hours a night but this does vary from person to person.
    Sun
    Finally, although too much sun can be really bad for you, a few rays can help to keep sebum at bay and dry out any oily patches.
