Let's face it - we all have that secret satisfaction when we take sparkling clean glasses and plates out of the dishwasher. Have you ever wondered what's hidden in those little, color-coded capsules you throw in the machine every time? Not only are they full of chemicals, they're often also packaged in plastic that's "supposedly biodegradable," but nature knows otherwise. Not to mention the price - these little dishwasher tablets can really make a dent in your monthly budget. And for what? For something you can make yourself at home, healthier, greener, and for a pittance!

Minimalism on nails has never been so delicious. This year we're wearing an "ice cream manicure".
If you've ever panicked and tried to clean wine, coffee, or—take a deep breath—a dog "cookie" off your carpet, you know: commercial carpet cleaners aren't exactly cheap, and their effectiveness is often at the "meh" level. Plus, many of us don't really navigate the jungle of chemical ingredients with names longer than the school explanation of photosynthesis. That's where this homemade magic comes in—a concoction that not only works, but is also incredibly cheap and easy to make.
If you think that a youthful appearance is reserved only for those who have their dermatologist on call and regular appointments at the aesthetic clinic, let us tell you something: your kitchen has more power than you think. In a time when every wrinkle serum seems like a valuable investment and Botox has become almost as common as a visit to the hairdresser, there is an all-natural, affordable alternative that requires neither needles nor chemical alchemy. And yes – it really works. Smoky "Botox drops".
In the world of gardening, where the search for natural, effective and environmentally friendly solutions is increasingly important, baking soda is proving to be a real star among home remedies. This simple, versatile substance, which we mostly associate with baking or cleaning, also hides an extraordinary potential in the care of plants, soil and garden environment in general. It is not just folk wisdom, but proven practices supported by numerous gardeners and research in the field of agronomy. How to use baking soda in the garden?
Forget about expensive synthetic collagen supplements with names that sound like space mission drugs. Your body is smart—it can produce collagen on its own if you give it the right ingredients. And no, you don’t need marine collagen from fish scales or cow hides (because who wants that?). Instead, make your own all-natural, plant-based, nutrient-dense collagen powder.
A subtle revolution is taking place on the fashion streets, Instagram feeds and backstages of prestigious magazines. A new denim poetics is coming to the fore – one that rejects chaotic bagginess and revives lines that celebrate shape. Instead of nostalgic cuts from the grunge era, models with a clearly articulated silhouette are now winning: straight, narrow, slightly tapered. In fashion, this is called: the perfect geometry for everyday extravagance. These are the jeans we will wear this summer.
In a world where it seems like every day is a bad hair day, the fashion savior of summer 2025 is the updo. No, we're not talking about the messy bun you wear while cleaning your apartment, but a sophisticated, sleek updo that screams (well, elegantly whispers): "I've got my life under control!"
Onions. We love them in soups, salads, on the grill... But let's face it - no one wants their kitchen to smell like a mortadella and onion sandwich three days after dinner. Especially not when their wooden cutting board smells like tears and lost romance every time you cut fruit. If you've ever wondered how to get rid of that rebellious smell that seems to have a lease on your board - read on.
In a world where a new €80 “miracle” serum pops up every day and every other influencer swears by cosmetics imported from Mars, sometimes a little old school comes in – or rather, a little bit of grandma’s spice box and a jar of Vaseline from the bottom drawer. And that’s what it’s made of: a mixture of cloves and Vaseline.
Have you ever been lured by the glossy commercials for the "latest revolutionary cleaner" that promises a sparkling kitchen without effort, only to find yourself scrubbing the greasy edge of the stove half an hour later with a look of slight despair on your face? Yes, you're not alone. The truth is, sometimes the best solutions aren't on store shelves, but right in our own kitchens - in the form of a spoonful of baking soda and a drop of dishwashing detergent.
Aging is one of the few clubs we are automatically enrolled in – without asking and without the option to leave. But that doesn’t mean we have to passively watch as our reflection in the mirror adds a new “character line” day after day. No, nature – and science – offer us much kinder alternatives than invasive beauty procedures and Instagram filter number seven. How to slow down aging naturally.
