Sometimes it feels like skincare is like Netflix: endless options, but nothing really works. The shelves are full of toners with names that sound like ingredients from a chemistry lab (and let's face it, they often are). But what if we told you that you already have one of the best beauty elixirs in your fridge? It's a homemade carrot toner.

Everyone has at least one favorite pair of sneakers that look perfect with any outfit – until they’re no longer white, but grayish-yellow with an unpleasant history on the soles. White doesn’t mix well with city sidewalks, coffee, park mud, or festival parties. If you’ve ever found yourself hopelessly scrubbing your shoes with a paper towel and water, then read on. Meet the miracle sneaker cleaner!
Not every headache is a reason to go to the pharmacy. And no, not every digestive problem requires immediate pharmaceutical intervention. In a time when healthcare (and our calendar) often operates on the principle of "everything at once", more and more people are wondering: is there a way to help the body more naturally? Here is a list of herbs that may come in handy!
Let's face it: cleaning the oven is the home version of a horror movie. We procrastinate until it starts to accumulate an archaeological layer of past lunches, then in desperation we reach for cleaners that promise miracles but almost suffocate us. And worst of all – we still have to scrub as if we were training for the Scrubbing Olympics. That's where homemade oven cleaner comes in!
In a world where the cosmetics industry tries to convince us every week that we need a new “miracle” cream with the extract of something that only grows during a full moon on a mountain peak in Nepal, sometimes the solution turns out to be much closer. Say – Vaseline and lemon. Yes, you read that right. One is a greasy classic from the days when television was still black and white, and the other is the citrus queen, which has more benefits for the skin than just a gin and tonic.
Believe it or not, there is a plant that ancient cultures have revered as a symbol of good luck, wealth, and longevity. No, we’re not talking about some exotic bonsai from Thailand, but the simple yet miraculous money tree – the jade plant (Crassula ovata). Although it looks like a completely ordinary succulent, it has more benefits than you might imagine. The money tree is a symbol of prosperity, it purifies the air, reduces stress, and best of all – it’s almost impossible to die, even if you completely ignore it for a week or two (or three).
Forget about the hoe, the dirt under your nails, and that one single watering you forgot just before your vacation. If you're more of an urban type who wants to enjoy your vegetables—not "grow" them in the full agrarian sense of the word—there's a more elegant way. Water. Light. And herbs that do just fine without rooting in the mud.
Cast iron skillets – an icon of culinary prestige and the object of desire for all who love baked, crispy, seared and everything in between. But just like a luxury genuine leather handbag doesn’t go straight into the washing machine, cast iron skillets don’t like modern shortcuts. Dishwasher? No thanks. Detergent? Only if you want to sabotage your own culinary heritage.
On May 12th and 13th, reserve some time - not for a walk in the sun, but for the most important walk: the one to the dermatologist in Novi trg, where you will be examined for free for your skin tags.
If you're one of those people who finally lets their nails grow out a bit, only to have life - or the zipper of your purse - mercilessly shorten them again, read on. The drama of brittle, dry and desperately yellowish nails is no longer a necessary reality. Use this nail serum!
Although we may not want to admit it out loud, the toilet is the queen of the bathroom that we often neglect. But when it starts to show signs of wear and tear – stains, limescale and unpleasant odours – we turn to an arsenal of chemical preparations that promise sparkle but leave behind fumes, an empty wallet and environmental guilt. The solution? Look no further than the drugstore, but in the kitchen.
The pillow that was once sparkling white is now suspiciously yellowish? Breathe easy – we are not at a CSI crime scene, but in front of a washing machine. And we have a solution. The pillow is that everyday companion of your sleep, which calmly and quietly carries all your night sweats, tears, face creams and crumbs from “just one more piece of chocolate before bed”. Over the years, however, it loses its original magical whiteness and turns into a silent reminder that it is time – time for a general cleaning.
