Aera C-1 Shadow
The Swiss-made Aera C-1 Shadow is a chronograph that draws inspiration from the mid-century, but is refined through the lens of modern minimalism. The 904L steel case with a black PVD coating doesn't scream for attention, but rather demands it with a quiet presence. Inside beats a proven Sellita heart, while the exterior is adorned with a unique "recessed" dial. This is luxury for those in the know.
Although Crassula ovata – better known as the money tree – has been one of the most popular potted plants in homes around the world for decades, many people don’t even know that this seemingly modest succulent can also bloom. And not just with a single flower for display, but with a veritable fireworks display of tiny, star-shaped white flowers that emit a delicate but recognizable scent. The problem? Most specimens in captivity (read: in our apartments) never do this – not because they can’t, but because we treat them as decoration, not as living beings with the rhythm of nature.

In an age where every week a “revolutionary” skincare product with exotic ingredients that sound more like a magic potion than something you’d actually put on your face is released, we’re forgetting the power of simple, tried-and-true ingredients. Lemon and Vaseline—one a citrus fruit that’s commonly squeezed into tea, the other a timeless classic from the local drugstore—are becoming the new old stars of the beauty routine. And not because of its virality, but because of its effectiveness.
A granite sink is beautiful – until it isn’t. Once limescale, soap scum and hard water stains settle on it, it loses all its charm. However, the matte appearance, greyish spots and difficult-to-clean surface are a common reason why some people give up and reach for aggressive chemical cleaners. Bad move! Granite is a natural material that needs gentle but effective care – not chemical warfare.
What if we told you that the secret to glowing skin isn't in expensive bottles, but in your kitchen? While the beauty industry is tirelessly offering new serums, lifts, injections and glow-fillers, nature is calmly sipping its tea and smiling: "Isn't this all a bit too complicated?" And indeed - to support your skin, you don't need laboratory-mixed elixirs. All you need is a smart cup - three times a day.
Although collagen has been talked about almost as much as Taylor Swift lately, most people don't know that this protein is the silent builder of our skin, joints, bones and even the intestinal lining. In the skin, collagen makes up more than 70% of its structural mass and gives it what we all notice – firmness, elasticity and enviable smoothness. Unfortunately, after the age of 25, its production begins to dry up – slowly but steadily. Professional research confirms that we can lose up to 30% of collagen in a decade, which quickly translates into fine wrinkles, sagging and a tired appearance of the skin.
Vaseline – that silent star of our local pharmacies – is like that friend who is always there, but we often overlook it. It may not be in glamorous packaging, it does not shine under the lights of perfumeries and it never promises “miracles in seven days”... but it quietly, modestly and reliably solves problems that prestigious cosmetics only package in marketing slogans. 10 ingenious ways to use Vaseline!
Have you ever put on a pair of jeans and stared at that ridiculously small pocket inside the larger front pocket and wondered, "Seriously, why is this even here?" If you've ever used it, you've probably put some change in it, a USB stick, maybe a lighter - or it was of no use to you at all and you simply ignored it. In any case, that pocket on your jeans is not there by chance. Quite the opposite - it's one of the oldest and most persistent fashion details on pants, which we wear everywhere today: in the office, at a concert, in nature and sometimes - admit it - even at home on the couch.

If the sight of a smudged oven window makes you think it might be better to replace the oven than clean it, then you've probably been there before - armed with vinegar, baking soda, a sponge and despair. Grease on oven glass is one of those household nuisances that just won't go away. It burns into the surface, traps the remains of past lunches and glares at you with a rude glare every time you open the door. And the worst part? Even after extensive scrubbing, it often leaves... almost everything behind.
When you look in the mirror in the morning, are you greeted by dull skin, slightly tight lines, and the feeling that your joints wouldn't exactly go on a mountain hike with you? You may have already found yourself browsing online stores, looking for the perfect collagen drink that promises "rejuvenation from within," only to be quickly put off by the price. Good news? You may already have what you're looking for at home - and no, we're not talking about a powdered cream from the back drawer. We're talking about homemade collagen, a natural elixir that has the power to restore your skin, joints, and connective tissues - according to a recipe trusted by grandmothers and modern nutritionists alike.
The campaign for the new REDMI Note 15 series, whose central message is Resilient as a Titan, features Jakob Potočnik – an extreme athlete, influencer, frontier explorer and man who understands movement as the foundation of life. His world is full of height, speed and unpredictable conditions, but at the same time surprisingly thoughtful, focused and deeply human.

If you've ever thought about having a home garden, but the thought of soil, watering, and rotten roots gives you a mild anxiety attack – we have news for you that will change your perspective on "greenery". Nature is much more adaptable than we give it credit for, and there are herbs that happily grow without soil. Right in the water. No mess, no complications, and – best of all – with a lot more style.
Forget silicone earplugs and the feeling of underwater silence; Sony is introducing the Sony LinkBuds Clip, a pair of headphones that you wear as a fashion accessory while AI helps you hear the world and your music at the same time. If you’ve ever felt like traditional earbuds are little fingers that tech giants are persistently pushing into your skull, you’re not alone. Jeremy Clarkson would probably say that putting earbuds in your ears is like trying to park a Range Rover in a London phone booth – uncomfortable, tight and sometimes a little painful. But Sony, the company that gave us the Walkman and then sold us silence for decades with the 1000X series, has now realized that sometimes we might want to hear our neighbor’s dog reminding us of its durability.

A naturally scented toilet is no longer an oxymoron, but a reality – and one that doesn’t require deep pockets or a degree in chemistry. In an age where our noses are constantly bombarded with artificial “seas of freshness” and “flowering alps,” refreshing our bathrooms has become an almost industrial project. But if we use two ingredients found right in the kitchen instead of plastic sprays, cheap aerosols, and suspiciously named gels, we can achieve a cleaner, healthier, and – paradoxically – more luxurious effect.
In a world where the beauty industry is acting like Netflix—something new, shinier, more complex every week—it’s no wonder that many people forget about the basic ingredients that actually work. Instead of studying a chemistry encyclopedia with every new serum and sacrificing half your salary for the promise of “youthful glow in 7 days,” maybe it’s worth looking back. To a time when grandma’s bathroom was more of a laboratory than today’s Sephora. This is a homemade 2-ingredient anti-aging cream.
Glowing, firm, and even-toned skin is no longer reserved for those whose bathrooms look like mini drugstores and whose routines are as long as their Netflix subscriptions. Instead, the beauty world is once again turning to what's simple, effective—and, if possible, homemade. And that's why a rice water and fenugreek toner recipe has been experiencing a TikTok renaissance in recent months. But it's not a fad, it's an age-old beauty ritual with powerful results and minimal investment.
