What does the color of your swimming suit tell about you?

March 27th, 2007 by webmaster

Dark blue
Psychologists approve, that the most advantageous color for a swimming suit and swimming trunks - is dark blue and all its shades. Color of the sky and the sea “cools” undesirable hot sights and makes you look lady-mysteriousness. At the man it will emphasize athleticism and will hint on … intelligence. Choosing dark blue swimming suit, you undesirably inform people that you are quiet, counterbalanced, and self-sufficient and you are adjusted on acquaintances with exclusively serious intentions, without any platitude. By the way, women with “magnificent” forms are better to be covered with light blue swimming suits (this color conceals all surpluses of the figure).
Green
It is necessary to be very cautious with this color. Light green unprofitably shades a skin, and it also signals about psychological immaturity. Though you if you wish to be thoughtless, you can risk.
Red
The red swimming suit and swimming trunks will raise and draw all attention to you. Do you really need this? Recently, the American psychologists have leaded an experiment: they have dressed up nice girls in swimming suits of different colors. These girls have walked before men studying them for 5 minutes. Then girls dressed up and were again showed to men, offering to guess, what the color of each girl’s swimming suite was. It has appeared that all colors were approximately equally guessed - with accuracy from 60 up to 70 %, except for the red: the girls flaunted before men in swimming suits of this color, have not been noticed at all. And all this happened because men’s eyes stared at girls’s bodies, but not their faces.
Yellow
It is playful color. It will give out your carelessness and lightness.
It is shown for young girls and maidens.
Black
This color is presumed only by young girls with a good figure (though also it will give those features of easy bitchiness) as it gives out all the defects of the figure and it dexterously emphasizes “the toasts, eaten for a breakfast”.
White
White color is preferred by touchy and mollycoddles people.
Choose smooth, and an impressive, “thick” fabric, probably, not cleanly white, and with impregnations.

How to deceive age (Part 2)

March 23rd, 2007 by webmaster

2.Teeth
You will not tell yet words about your age, and the kind of your teeth will already tell all for you. In the course of time color of teeth becomes yellowish or grayish (because of various foodstuff and drinks) and if you also smoke the color of teeth worsens even more promptly. Now it is possible to bleach teeth by means of new strong dental cosmetics, for example, Crest Whitestrips Renewal strips. Professional bleaching will give excellent result for one day, but it is more expensive.
The form and condition of teeth is also important. “Young” teeth are shining, with equal, with orbicular edges whereas older ones are worn out with the chopped off edges. In this case the dentist will help again by means of regenerative treatment. As a rule, “new teeth” help us look much younger than we actually are.
3. Hair
The reason of fast ageing of hair is cased by bad ecology, excessive hobby for chemical wave and coloring, and also natural ageing which is defined genetically.
Dryness is the main enemy of hair number and it is expressed in loss of shine. The more senior your hair is the more humidified it should be. Water dries hair (especially if it is chlorinated water). We advise you to use special conditioners and the masks suitable your type of hair for humidifying hair and making it shine.
4. Hands
Dry skin, acting veins, rough painting with dark or red spots - all these are the attributes of ageing of hands. The principal cause is hidden in the reduction of development of collagen and harmful influence of the sun. Age dryness of the skin occurred because of decrease in a level of hormones in an organism, in particular, a hormone of an estrogen. Your confidential weapons in struggle against these attributes are:
• Peeling cream for hands;
• Sun-protection cream;
• Nutritious or humidifying cream;
• Cleaning cream.
