Diet through your nose: Scientifically proven scents that instantly kill hunger and save your figure
It's 10 p.m. Netflix is asking you if you're "still there," and your hand is slowly, with the autonomy of an alien force, reaching for that bag of chips or bar of chocolate you've been "hiding" from yourself. Stop. You don't need a time-lapse lock on your refrigerator, and you don't need the steely will of a Tibetan monk. All you have to do is take a deep breath. Literally. Science has finally confirmed what slim Parisians have probably known intuitively for centuries: the nose is the shortcut to slimness. So - diet through the nose!
Volkswagen is at a turning point. After several years of searching for an identity in the electric age, criticism of the software and ergonomic slippages in the interior, it seems that the German giant is returning to what it has always done best: making cars for people. In sunny Portugal, the Volkswagen ID. Cross 2026 concept was revealed to selected eyes – a car that promises to correct the mistakes of the past.
Truth: We all have that friend whose apartment always smells like a hotel heiress on the Côte d'Azur lives there. No smell of last night's dinner, no trace of wet dog. Just a clean, expensive, I-don't-know-what-it-is-but-I-want-to-take-a-bath-in-it vibe. The secret? (Zara Home Fragrances 2025) She probably isn't spending 80 euros on Diptyque candles. She's probably, like all smart aesthetes in 2025, discovered a gold mine: the fragrance section at Zara Home. Prepare your noses (and wallets), because we're entering a world of olfactory luxury for a pittance.
Whether it's thirty degrees outside or the temperatures drop close to zero, we simply can't resist a good pair of sneakers - and buying new ones.

Dream villas in Croatian Istria?! Have you ever wondered why others are always enjoying dream villas in the middle of olive groves, while you are left with a sun lounger on the balcony? Maybe it's because they booked on time. And because you don't follow the world's largest lifestyle media outlet enough.

The best DIY car trick this winter: The homemade windshield fluid that mechanics don't want to share
Have you ever pressed the windshield washer button on a cold December morning and instead of a refreshing jet, you got... silence and icy silence? Yes, welcome to the winter automotive horror, when the windshield washer fluid turns into an ice sculpture and you rub the window with a tissue as if it will help. And all this after paying almost as much for the “winter fluid” at the pump as for two coffees and a croissant. With the addition of a synthetic “alpine freshness” scent, which has about as much in common with nature as plastic has with organic fruit.
Seiko is wrapping up the 60th anniversary celebration of its first diver's watch with the Seiko Prospex SPB545. It's a limited edition that combines the iconic 1965 case design with a stunning "Tranquil Teal" dial and - perhaps more importantly - a new micro-adjustment buckle. Is this the best Seiko of the year?
Let's be honest. Electric motorcycles have so far fallen into two categories. The first is those that look like kitchen appliances on steroids and have the charisma of a toaster. The second is those that cost as much as a studio apartment in Ljubljana, but you can't even get to the sea on them without reading War and Peace while waiting at a charging station. But it seems that the Barras brothers from Hong Kong have finally found the holy grail with their new project BBM Hiro Streetfighter. Or at least a very good approximation.
The Lexus LFA was like a starburst—bright, beautiful, and damn short. If you were living under a rock in 2010, you missed the car that sounded like angels playing trombones while falling down stairs. Today, my dears, the LFA is back. But before you pop the champagne, I must warn you: Yamaha is no longer in the orchestra. The new LFA is electric. Does this mean the end of the world or the beginning of something that will melt our faces?
Have you just loaded the washing machine, grabbed the fabric softener bottle – and discovered it’s empty? Don’t worry, the solution isn’t a trip to the nearest drugstore. Instead, look in your kitchen, bathroom or pantry. Chances are you already have everything you need for perfectly soft, freshly laundered laundry at home – free of artificial fragrances, irritating chemicals and unnecessary plastic.
Whether you’re a fan of sparkling cleanliness or just a visit from your mother-in-law, you’ve probably experienced the frustration of trying to clean glass surfaces – only to end up with more stains than before. Glass, mirrors, shower stalls and windows are notorious for being both the most visible and the most thankless to clean. One wrong move, one wrong moment in the sun and boom – marks that you can’t seem to get rid of.
Everyone is shouting about a revolution. YouTubers are swooning over the charging curves. But let's be honest - when you walk up to this car in person, when you actually see it without studio lights and filters, something unexpected happens. Nothing. Your heart rate stays steady. Instead of being overwhelmed by a sense of German dominance, you are overwhelmed by a strange "déjà vu". Doesn't it all seem a bit too... Peugeot? The BMW iX3 Neue Klasse is a monster on paper, but in reality it may just be proof that "premium" is no longer what it used to be.
Let's face it, the automotive industry has become a bit... sterile lately. All the manufacturers are competing to see who can fit a bigger TV in the cabin and whose car will be quieter than a library. And then there's JAS Motorsport and Pininfarina. They decided enough of this nonsense was enough. They took a legend, put a carbon suit on it and left it with what we men really want: a manual transmission and an engine sound that makes the hairs on your arms stand on end. Meet the JAS Motorsport Tensei.
Let's be honest, for a moment, between us. We've all done it. The phone vibrates, the red light seems to last forever, and the hand slides to the "forbidden fruit" in the center console. Until now, this act has been haunted by a bad conscience and, in Tesla's case, that pesky in-cabin camera screaming at us like a hysterical math teacher. But Elon Musk, the man who would probably try to colonize the Sun if he had enough sunscreen, has just changed the rules of the game. Or at least he thinks he has. His latest tweet (sorry, "post on X") claims that you can now officially type in your Tesla. But before you open Tinder in the middle of the highway, read the fine print. Because the devil - and the cop with the ticket - is always in the details. So - Tesla FSD.
If you ride a scooter, real bikers only greet you if their visor gets fogged up or they are very polite. Especially in the USA, where scooters are seen as a means of transportation for those who have given up on life. But LiveWire, the electric branch of the legendary Harley-Davidson, has just thrown down the gauntlet in the face of this prejudice. They are preparing an electric maxi-scooter - the LiveWire Maxi-Scooter, which promises to change the rules of the game. And guess what? They might even succeed, because under the plastic they have hidden the heart of a real beast.
Until recently, drone flying was divided into two categories. The first group consisted of those boring "flying tripods" that real estate agents fly to make a house with a leaky roof look like a mansion. The second group consisted of FPV (First Person View) drones that sound like angry hornets and require the reflexes of a teenager who's had six energy drinks. If you blinked, you crashed that expensive carbon-filled "toy" into a tree. But it seems like the Antigravity A1 just walked into the room, flipped the table, and said, "Forget everything you knew." This isn't just a new drone. This is a flying camera that doesn't care which way you're looking.
If you thought the height of Toyota excitement was the moment you managed to connect your phone to Bluetooth in the Yaris, you'd be wrong. The Gazoo Racing offices have apparently locked the doors, turned off the phones, and created something that has nothing to do with the 'safe choice'. The Toyota GR GT is the spiritual successor to the LFA, except this time it doesn't scream, it roars.
I admit that as I sat down at the keyboard to write this article, I was a little scared. Not the kind of scared you get when you feel the back of a Ferrari losing traction on a bend at 180 km/h (112 mph). It's a different kind of fear. Existential. I wonder if this is the last time I, Jan Macarol, write an editorial like this "by hand" before I'm replaced by an algorithm that doesn't drink coffee, doesn't complain about taxes, and can write the entire oeuvre of Shakespeare in the blink of an eye. Professor Stuart Russell, the man who literally wrote the textbook on artificial intelligence, says we're not far from that scenario. And if he says we're in trouble, then we should listen to him.
Admit it, we were all a little scared. We were afraid that Lotus had become just another brand that produced heavy electric SUVs for people who thought that "dynamic driving" was accelerating to the next traffic light in the shopping mall. We thought that the spirit of Colin Chapman - that brilliant and obsessive engineer who shouted "simplify and add lightness" - had finally disappeared under the weight of lithium-ion batteries. But we were wrong. Oh, how wrong we were. Here we have the Lotus Theory 1. And it's not just a car. It's proof that physics still holds true and that the future doesn't have to be boring.
Let's face it, the automotive world has become a bit boring. Everyone is driving refrigerators on wheels that we call SUVs, and the passion has been lost somewhere between "practicality" and "high seating position". But fear not, Renault hasn't thrown a gun into the trash. The new 2026 Clio is here, and it looks like it wants to bite the ankle of every crossover it encounters. They call it the "little Jaguar" - and when you see that front end, you'll know why. This isn't just a car; it's a statement that size (still) isn't everything. That's what most journalists testing it these days say.
Kim Kardashian clearly doesn't understand the concept of "hibernation." Just as we're recovering from her recent collaboration with Nike and barely stopping to refresh her holiday store page, SKIMS is back at it again—this time with another round of viral collaboration with The North Face - SKIMS x The North Face. Get ready, because this year's winter wardrobe is about to get a serious, almost futuristic upgrade, and this time it even includes your little ones.
Summary The new G-SHOCK Frogman "Poison Dart" is not just a visual experiment; it's a serious upgrade to the legendary GW-8200 series. By switching to titanium and using bio-resin, Casio has created a lighter, more durable, and most visually aggressive version of its iconic asymmetric watch yet.
Let's face it, my dears and my dears: for most of us, "trail running" means briskly walking in the latest athleisure kit to the nearest hut, where a well-deserved strudel awaits. But what if I told you that Nike just created a shoe that might actually make you want to run - and far? Forget the pain and forget the slips. Nike woke up from its slumber and, with the help of 22 elite "masochists" (read: ultra runners), created the ACG Zegama. Get ready, because Hoka and Salomon are sweating with fear right now.
We all love that feeling when we discover a "life hack" that makes us feel like we've outsmarted the system. Forget expensive serums and cleansers with names you can't pronounce. Today we're talking about a duo that sounds like a failed elementary school experiment, but works like pure magic. Vaseline and vinegar? It may sound crazy, but this combination is the secret weapon of every It-girl who knows that elegance lies in ingenuity, not just in spending. Get ready for a chemistry lesson that will save your nerves, your favorite heels, and your bathroom.
Every December, the world of design and aesthetics pauses and holds its breath. All eyes turn to Pantone, the color oracle of modern visual culture, to announce the color of the year – that one shade that is said to embody the spirit of the times. In 2026, when one might have expected an optimistic injection of color, Pantone surprised with a seemingly non-color: Pantone 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, a soft, almost dreamy white. And if you think that's a boring choice, think again – because white has never held so much meaning.
Stop. Put down that $70 serum basket. Seriously. This is the winter "Glass Skin" toner. While the beauty industry races to come up with a more complicated name for water in a bottle that costs half your rent, a real revolution is happening in your pantry. Forget filters and professional lighting. Introducing the "Glass Skin" toner, a viral hit that costs less than an espresso but turns your skin into pure porcelain. Get ready, your routine is about to get drastically cheaper and your glow doubled.
Grouts are the silent traitors of every home. You can have the most expensive Italian ceramic, but if the lines between the tiles look like the scene of a failed biological experiment, all the glamour is for naught. Dirty grout is like a bad haircut – everyone notices it, but no one dares to say anything. Don't panic! Here are 10 proven tricks to get your grout back to "factory settings" without ruining your fresh manicure or your nervous system. These are 10 tricks for sparkling clean grout.
Zenith's new DEFY Extreme Chroma series proves that colorful watches aren't just a fad, but can also serve as a canvas for cutting-edge mechanics. With the legendary El Primero 9004 movement beating at 50 Hz and a titanium case, this is a watch for those who understand what engineering excess means and have $20,600 ready to spend.
December is a time of lights, gatherings, and warm stories. But it's also a time when distances are felt the most. When family is scattered across cities, friends live in different time zones, and love sometimes finds itself somewhere between two countries. In moments when physical proximity is lacking, we often rely on technology, and when it's intuitive, warm, and human enough, it can transform distance into something that's no longer a barrier.
Dandruff is not just an aesthetic nuisance, but your body's warning that something deeper is going on? Why does it disappear for some people with a simple shampoo, while for others it persists for months despite changing products and countless attempts?
Why do some people prefer tender chicken breasts while others swear by juicy thighs? Is dark meat really more nutritious or is white meat easier to digest? Could it be that the difference between the two is more than just color on the plate?
