Every girl is beautiful in her own way, but only some ladies completely fail to highlight their strengths. Jewelry always comes to the rescue for fashionistas and elegant women, gracefully adorning a slender neck and making its wearer simply irresistible. However, it is essential to choose the right necklace so that it does not look unnatural.

To dispel the autumn blues and add a bit of wonder to the gray weekdays, the media center team invited guests to a "Mad Tea Party" inspired by Lewis Carroll's fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland". The date of the
“The City Where I…” - each of us could continue this phrase in our own way. This is the original title of the new production by the “MEСTO D…” Theater. The premiere performances took place within the theater walls, and all tickets, the prices of which were determined by the audience themselves, were sold out.

Many of us place great importance on the coziness of our homes. It warms the heart when a room is harmoniously bright and comfortable, the interior is tastefully arranged, and everything is in its place. But what if we imagine that this little room is dozens of times smaller than usual? Tiny houses crafted by a master evoke special admiration. Maria Rubtsova discovered her talent as a designer and creator of such amazing tiny rooms relatively recently, when the most important person in her life
Since ancient times, craftswomen have captivated with the beauty and, most importantly, the uniqueness of their highly artistic creations. It so happened that the fast-paced rhythm of life in megacities has practically pushed handcrafting out of the hobbies of modern women. Today, few can boast of true designer clothing or jewelry; they have long been replaced by inexpensive mass-produced items from the Celestial Empire, making representatives of the fair sex resemble cloned twins. Most women
