Are you a mosquito magnet? One habit of yours is to blame for mosquitoes biting you more than others

If you're attacked by a horde of mosquitoes every summer while your friends are calmly sipping gin and tonics on the patio without a single red dot, you're not being paranoid - there's something to it. And no, you don't have to be "sweet-blooded" (that's a myth). Science now backs up that feeling that mosquitoes aren't just annoying, blindly flying pests, but surprisingly selective gourmets.

Goodbye, dust! The trick that will clean your blinds to a shine – and prevent them from getting dusty again

Ah, blinds. Sleek, minimalist, and functional—until they’re covered in a thin layer of dust that accumulates faster than bad news on a Monday morning. And while you might promise yourself every month that you’ll be more diligent about wiping them, the dust just doesn’t seem to leave them.

Beauty

The new obsession for fall 2025 is velvet nails – elegantly soft and chic, so Emily in Paris would wear them without a second thought

Fall has its charm – not just in the colors of the leaves and thick scarves, but in that indescribable need for an aesthetic that is warm, soft and visually soothing. In fashion, that means layering beige coats, oversized sweaters and loafers with rugged soles. In the world of manicure? Velvet nails. This trend that is flooding salons and social media is not just another fashion fad, but a style statement that heralds the arrival of colder days – elegant, sophisticated and with a touch of shine.

Healthy food

What happens to your body if you eat oatmeal every day? These are the effects that can happen after just one week!

The first sight of oatmeal is anything but exciting. Without colors, without glamour, often steeped in clichés about a “healthy breakfast” that we only eat when we decide to truly live a healthier life from today. Yet this humble bowl of oats has been present on tables around the world for centuries – from the Scottish highlands to the capitals of Asia – and many swear that it is the key to their better well-being.

The dirtiest part of your washing machine – it silently destroys your laundry and your machine. Are you cleaning it properly?

Have you ever felt relieved when you loaded your washing machine, pressed start, and walked away thinking that freshly washed laundry was waiting for you – only to be greeted by the smell of stale moisture and what you could describe as “wet high school jogging shoes” when you opened the door? Don’t blame the detergent, don’t look for faults in the drum – the problem often lies in something much more banal: the rubber seal of your washing machine.

People with this blood type live longer: coincidence or genetic jackpot?

What determines who will live to be 100 with sparkling eyes and a sharp mind? Is it a lucky genetic combination, environment, diet – or something else entirely? While the world obsessively searches for the magic formula for a long and healthy life, scientists increasingly believe that one of the key factors is much simpler than we think – and that we carry it within us from birth. Science has revealed that individuals with this blood type are much less likely to have a heart attack, stroke and premature aging. The secret to longevity may indeed be in your veins.

Super Mario is coming back – and we already know, let's go see the second part of the movie in the cinema

If you thought Super Mario, Luigi, and the rest of the gang had already reached their peak in the first Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023, which incidentally grossed a whopping $1.3 billion at the box office (which is about half of what SpongeBob SquarePants is worth), then fasten your seatbelts – Super Mario: The Galactic Movie is apparently going to be the next big leap… into hyperspace.

Slugging 2.0: Add Lemon or Orange – Vaseine – the Crazy Recipe That's Shaking the Internet

Slugging 2.0?! At a time when creams promise cosmic breakthroughs and serums speak Latin, a duo from the kitchen finds its way into the bathroom: Vaseline + citrus. Slugging – finishing the care with an occlusive layer of Vaseline – is already familiar. The “2.0” version adds a gentle, short-lived citrus step (lemon or orange) to the ritual, which visually unifies the complexion, softens the texture and prepares the ground for a sip of moisture. The emphasis is on dilution, layering and safety. No overnight heroes, just smart sequencing.

Accommodations

Tuscany? No, it's Istria. And this is Villa Don Giordano, where you could stay forever

Late summer has its own rhythm. The days are still bathed in sunshine, but the world is no longer blinded by the euphoria of heat. Nature is calming down in golden hues, tourists are slowly disappearing from postcards, the air becomes softer, more fragrant, more personal. This is a time for those who are looking for more than just a break – they are looking for an experience. A time when you can afford that luxurious silence that is often swallowed up by crowds and self-serve cocktail palm trees in summer. Villa Don Giordano offers just that.
