"Пътешествията са пътища към чудесата, щедро разпръснати по нашата планета, а някои хора пътуват и отвъд нея. Аз съм пътник и скитам по света в търсене на чудесата - онези прелести, които ни оставят без дъх и остават в паметта за цял живот. Пътувам от 1976 - близо половин век. Започнах като студент, после като алпинист, търсещ далечни върхове и стени. Границите се отвориха и тръгнах по света в търсене на тези прелести. Публиката е запозната с мои пътеписи: двете книги за Япония, пътеписи в списанията Съвременник, ГЕО, National Geographic, Моето пътуване, Вокруг света, The Explorer, в сайтове за пътеписи.

Мечтаете ли си за обемни и плътни устни? Специалистите от Eveline разработват гланц, благодарение на който мечтата ви може да стане реалност. Той увеличава обема на устните чрез действието на вложеният във формулата му екстракт от люта чушка, който предизвиква изтръпване, което от своя страна стимулира кръвообращението в кожата. Така по естествен път устните стават по-плътни и обемни. Добавена е и хиалуронова киселина, която хидратира в дълбочина и помага за задържане на водата в кожата. Съдържащите се във формулата на гланца витамини и масло от жожоба се грижат за устните и ги оставят меки и нежни. Придайте ... |
