It probably goes without saying that the human eye is an amazing organ. It is the second most advanced organ, after the brain! It serves to convert light into nerve impulses and acts as a camera.

Into the forest, but be careful not to confuse it with lily of the valley leaves, as this is poisonous, in contrast to sycamore.

Bread is one of the first things we eliminate from our menu when we decide to go on a diet. But let's not throw all breads in the same basket too quickly, because many types are unjustifiably blacklisted during weight loss. One such "victim of prejudice" is certainly bread made from chia, because it does not fatten and can be enjoyed with peace of mind even during weight loss. We give you a simple recipe for it below.
When looking at old photos, do you ever feel like people used to have more style than we do today? Once a trend, now a retro look, which many people would immediately mistake for today's excessive fashion, which has no real identity and only wants to shock.
The possibilities for shading and highlighting the eyes are countless, but none are as imaginative as the shading of Israeli artist Tal Peleg, also known as Scarlet Moon, who used the area between the eyes and eyebrows as a painting canvas. With her creations, she paid homage to films such as Frozen, The Wizard of Oz, Deadpool, The Shining and Coraline, as well as famous characters such as The Little Prince and Smileys.

Humans have become addicted to smartphones and a dead battery has become worse than hunger. That creepy sound, the red icon on the screen makes us do some pretty questionable things.

Where there's a will, there's a way, or as they say.
33-year-old Thai artist Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew creates 3D images by layering thin mesh fabrics. He discovered the technique by accident in 2001 while studying at Silpakorn University in Bangkok, when he noticed a stain on a mosquito net. He soon got the idea that he could create a sense of depth and optical illusion by layering. You can see his interesting installations below.
