Может мой ответ подойдёт не для всех, но я, например, давно мою волосы детским мылом и полощу настоем крапивы. Косы пока нет, но волосы вылезать пучками перестали. А лицо протираю после прихода с улицы настоем бузины черной. Этот настой помог мне когда-то избавиться от пигментации, а ведь сейчас весна и солнце очень яркое, поэтому Continue reading ‘Healthy skin and hair’

In search of mammoths

Where to go for the weekend? One of the most exotic answers to this question: “Go to seek for mammoths”.

To put it more precisely – not mammoths, but their bones. Also you can seek for the bones of other ancient animals such as bison and ancient horses, that were living on the territory of present-day Chelyabinsk region 15-20 thousand years ago.

Speleologist and paleontologist Vladimir Ivanovich Yurin names Continue reading ‘In search of mammoths’

Dordogne, France

These pictures are from our next stop in Dordogne region, where we went for canoe ride, but we also picked some mushrooms and saw some butterflies.
Following picks are from Le Puy Mary, the mountain is 1787 m. It is in hilly area in the middle south part of France.
The weather that day  did not allow us to see very far, but it was still pretty amazing experience.
I can recommend to anyone, especially to try local dish with regional cheese after you made it to the peak. It tastes great.
One of our last days of our La douce France trip we made a 4,5 hour walk around the lake in Montigny en Morvan country side.
It was beatiful weather and we found some pretty green creatures (grasshoppers) on the way.
