Considering that summer is pretty close, we’d better start looking at ourselves in the mirror and identify our weak and strong points, as every woman has both of them…except for a few Hollywood Celebrities, but that’s because they have the possibility to work out all day long and hire top experts who really make miracles, while us, mortal women, have school and office chairs that await us everyday, along with our children, everyday… [READ MORE]

The bikini or two piece was officially invented in 1946 by two Frenchmen, Jacques Heim and Louis Reard, who thought of naming this women’s swimsuit after the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Actually drawings of two pieces have been found on some wall paintings which date back to more than 3500 years ago and some bikini-like suits appeared again in the Greco-Roman world, which means that Jacques and Louis simply re-invented the bikini, trying to design the smallest swimsuit “ever”. Several artworks depicting women in bikini, including Venus, the renowned Roman goddess, date back to the Diocletian period and can be found in Sicily and Pompei (Italy). The two… [READ MORE]
