Amaized by Ivan Slavinsky's paintings

Ivan Slavinsky is a famous and demanded artist from my hometown St.Petersburg. His style has changed many time from surrealistic portraits and landscapes to postmodernistic and realistic paintings. I noticed his women paintings. They transfer all nuances of woman's beauty, through  lots of colours, emotions and poses. Take a look at these increadible paintings! If i had a few 20 thousand euro free, i would definetly invest in one of Slavinsky's paintigs. Some works, which are in my opinion are above the words are presented further. Found in youtube this nice video of his works, thank you Tony for sharing :) And thank you Ivan for such a feast for the eye!

Running up that hill with style and comfort!

My running season started today! I ran 10 km from home to work and it felt AMAZING!!! And with the right equipment you can make it much easier and the whole training will go nice and smooth! For a new running season I bought something new :) For me it’s important to have comfortable sporty clothes! Beautiful outfit on a lovely body is always a good motivation ;) !  

Asics gel Kayano 18

The most important are the shoes, if they don’t sit right, your all training goes like down the drain. Check out your feet and watch how you step, outside or inside of the foot. That will assign your future sneakers. I needed support for my inner foot part, that’s why I chose Asics gel Kayano 18 shoes, they support my whole feet perfectly and they are soft and feel great while running. Also the shoes should be 1cm bigger, because during a run feet get swollen. 

Girls, if you don’t wanna have a hanging breast till the age of 40, so I suggest you to have a really supporting bra, unless you are having a victim, who is going to be seduced during the morning run :) Unfortunately, finding a good bra is a unique experience. So that I can give only one practical advice, when you try it, jump  for some time on the place. Breast is not supposed to be wild and fly in different direction.  

Pants! Important equipment. People are different and we like different kind of pants, different color, length, material, but make sure, that following features are in your running pants:

• Lightweight material, avoid cotton and nylon
• Wicking fabrics (wicks moisture away from skin, keeping you drier)
• Breathability
• Drawstring waist, or a on a thick elastic, for not slipping down
• Flexibility
• Pockets with zipper closures for music devices, keys and other stuff..
• Mesh paneling (located behind knees and back, for not to overheat as easily)
• Reflective patches, in case you like to spring in the dark

Some facts:


Choose better stretch tights, which fit closely to the body. This combination of fit and material gives a certain degree of compressive strength which helps to keep the muscles warm and also helps to hold the muscles tightly together. It also creates a streamlined profile which creates minimal drag while the runner is running. Looser pants are hindering the runner’s performance. For hobby runners, just like me, looser fitting shorts such as split panel shorts may be more comfortable during training, but when every second counts it is best to minimize drag as much as possible. I found Adidas shorts for summer heat :)

Skins A200

For me, I found a perfect pants. I haven't bought them yet, but i'm going to. They fulfill all the functions mentioned above and I think that they are PERFECT! Work out longer in a comfortable fit, slimmer silhouette, without showing your imperfection, in any weather without having so irritated sweaty legs. Actually the whole Skins production is great! In stockholm i found one in Inter sport on Drottningsgatan. Read more here.
