Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort

Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort is an irresistible eco-resort built on a superb beachfront property that was once a coconut plantation. It is a secluded spot of tranquility, away from the big cities’ agitation, and away from all the modern life’s distractions, including TV sets and phones.

Don’t think that you will get bored on the island, though. Your activity options are endless, and they are all meant to help you connect with the fascinating nature around you. You can go on hikes through the lush rainforest, dive the coral reefs, and even take fascinating tours with a glass-bottom boat, guided by the full-time marine biologist of the resort.

Complete your amazing experience with a professional spa session, or a relaxing Fijian massage. The perfect way to end the day is to enjoy a delicious dinner at the open-air restaurant, where the contemporary Fijian cuisine will delight your taste buds.

Before you retreat to one of the 25 luxe bungalows on the property, take some time to relax under the starry sky with a glass of fine wine. While you listen to the magical sounds of the island, your kids can go on a frog hunt together with trained staff members. Every guest at the Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort is bound to have a great holiday here!

Enchanting Perfumes for Enchanting Women

Women have always been using all kinds of methods of enhancing their personal charm, and alluring scents have been one of their best “weapons”. Long before nowadays sophisticated perfumes were developed, women knew where to find the finest and most enchanting scents: in nature. And this remained the best source of fragrances to this day.

Whether they have a floral, woody, fresh, oriental or fougère scent, the ingredients used in your favorite perfumes were all taken from flowers, woods, roots, raisins, fruits, leaves and even animals. Of course, there also are synthetic odors in the modern world, but guess what inspired people to create them! Yes, that same inexhaustible source of inspiration – nature.

The list of choices is mind-bogglingly long today. The combinations of top, middle and base notes are practically uncountable and it can be a real pain choosing the right perfume for you. Then there is another fact which makes things even more complicated: a woman should know that there are certain odors to wear in the evening and others to wear during the day. There are cold-season and warm-season perfumes, office and dinner perfumes, teenagers’ and adult women’s perfumes, and the list can go on.

So how do you know what’s good for you? First of all, get informed. Read and ask specialists about everything you want to know. Then, be yourself. Never do what “they say it’s right” if you feel that it is not right for you. And finally there is one more thing that helps a woman know if she has made the right choice: when the perfume that she wears makes men turn their heads to see where the enticing scent came from, there is no need for further confirmation.

If you need some advice on which are today’s best perfumes, here is a long, comprehensive list for you.

Azerbaijan to build world’s tallest building

Azerbaijan Tower

Azerbaijan is planning to build the world’s tallest building – taller than both the Burj Khalifa and the upcoming Kingdom Tower to be built in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Azerbaijan Tower, which is set to break ground in 2015, will  rise more than a kilometer in height, or 3,444 feet, upon its completion in 2018 or 2019,

 The Azerbaijan Tower is being built on a series of artificial islands, called the Khazar Islands, constructed in the Caspian Sea off Garadag, southwest of Baku.

The tower is the centerpiece for a massive, $100 billion mixed-use master plan with housing, schools, retail and a Formula 1 racetrack.

Developers plan to break ground on the tower in 2015, with construction is slated to finish by 2019. The entire Khazar Islands are expected to be finished by 2022.



The 2016 Summer Olympics Amazing Architecture!

Just when we thought we got used to seeing all kinds of extreme modern architectures, the 2016 Summer Olympics preparations started, leaving us speechless. The international multi-sport event will be hosted in Rio de Janeiro from August 5 to 21, 2016.

The man made waterfall on the island is simply amazing. A beautiful display of lights, color and shape makes this construction look like a small part of an alien city. We can’t wait to see it finished!
