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.

Glass skin for less than €1?! In the beauty world, “glass skin” has become something between a religion and a status symbol. Brands convince you that you’ll glow like a Korean goddess if you buy a serum that costs as much as a plane ticket to Barcelona. But – why spend a fortune when you have the secret to perfect skin right at home, in the fridge?
Zara, the fashion witch who has already accustomed us to the flawless combination of trend and accessibility, is now entering the cosmetics game with the new Zara Hair Care line. And no – it's not "just another shampoo", but a well-thought-out collection that smells like a salon, feels luxurious and looks so chic that even your bathroom will be envious.
While we're inundated with luxurious beauty products with names that sound like Latin formulas and promises of "instant youth" in cosmetic packaging, we often forget that nature has long had all the answers. In an age where beauty routines often consist of ten (or more!) steps and products with names that are harder to pronounce than the ingredients on a French menu, sometimes it's worth going back to basics. And one of the most underrated, yet incredibly effective ingredients you'll find in almost every health food store? Almond oil.
Mold in the home is one of those quietly noticeable problems that most people ignore—until it becomes too obvious (read: when the wall turns into a “black and white with mold” style artwork). It could be a small spot in the bathroom, a line by the window, or an entire colony in the corner of the room, subtly hinting that it’s time to take action. And if you’ve been thinking about repainting everything or calling in a professional, we’ve got good news for you: there’s a quick, effective, and—be warned—all-natural way to get rid of mold without the drama and expense.
On the island of Rab (Croatia), which has been called felix Arba – happy Rab since Roman times – there is a place hidden among the fragrant pine trees and the emerald sea that surpasses all notions of a perfect holiday. Arba Resort Valamar is not just a hotel. It is an orchestra of experiences in which every detail sounds like the perfect note of comfort, elegance and Mediterranean life. Nothing here is accidental – every drop of pool water, every gram of salt in the air breeze, every towel carefully folded on a sun lounger has its own purpose: to take you away from everyday life and bring you back – to yourself.
Tricks with Nivea cream?! The iconic Nivea cream in a blue can has been present in almost every bathroom for over a century – whether it's at grandma's, mom's or in your gym bag. But if you think it's just "oily stuff for your elbows", you're wrong. Nivea is a little cosmetic Swiss army knife – simple, but it solves everything. We've selected the three most useful tricks that every woman should know, regardless of age, style or wallet size.
When temperatures start to drop steadily, most of us instinctively turn to our heating system. However, we often end up heating unnecessary square meters (or even the outside world) while the bills pile up faster than the snow on your car. Heating is becoming an increasingly expensive expense – and an environmental burden too. And no, the solution doesn't always have to be found in an expensive heat pump or replacing windows. How to heat an apartment without a heater?
In a world where sportswear often gets caught between functionality and trend, Nike and designer Susan Fang have created a collection that transcends both. Instead of just another pair of running shoes or a “must-have” tracksuit, the result is a collection that brings back to sport something we’ve almost forgotten – the magic of movement. Each piece is a song about nature, each detail a gentle message about the power that lies within women: quiet yet unwavering, light yet strong.
Let's be honest - no one thinks too much about their socks. They're there because they have to be. We put them on in the morning, take them off at night, and then, without a guilty conscience, throw them in the laundry basket and expect the magic drum of our washing machine to do its thing. But are we really washing our socks effectively?
When we pull our knitted socks out of the closet with the first chill and the smell of roasted chestnuts begins to waft, we know that the season is approaching, in which the word hygge is almost a mandatory addition to every sentence. But be careful: hygge is not just that Insta moment with tea and a book in your lap. It is a philosophy of life – the science of comfort that embraces you like the softest blanket, without losing the designer's sense of aesthetics. And the good news? You can recreate it at home without any major drama.
If your shower glass walls keep ruining your view of the inside of your bathroom, you're not alone. Those gray stains, limescale, and soap scum aren't just an aesthetic nuisance—they often feel like the vindictive result of overindulging in a shower. And while drugstores are full of shiny bottles promising "unsurpassed cleanliness," the reality often involves unpleasant odors, irritated skin, and a much emptier wallet. How to easily clean your shower?
