Mystery teas?! Have you ever thought that your next favorite “anti-aging” thing is not in a pipette, not in a bottle, but... in your cup? Yep, tea, darling.

Before her death in 1996, Baba Vanga, a blind mystic seer from Bulgaria, allegedly wrote down prophecies for almost every year up to the year 5079—when, according to her, the world would end. Because she is said to have correctly predicted some of the most significant events of the 20th century—including the September 11, 2001, attacks, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, and the death of Princess Diana—her words continue to garner immense attention. Every year, the media re-examines her predictions for the future. Her predictions for the year 2025 are no exception. Quite the opposite—they are particularly dramatic.
Gardening is not just a hobby, but a constant balance between caring for plants and a defense strategy against numerous pests.

In a world full of beauty formulas with high-sounding ingredients and high prices, there is another way—natural, affordable, and surprisingly effective. Homemade collagen booster!

Introducing the water revolution – herbs that grow better in water than in soil. Seriously. Just a glass, water, sunlight and a little bit of your attention.

In a world where brands like Estée Lauder and L'Oréal Paris promise "glass skin," there's a more fun, less expensive, and honestly more wonderful secret lurking right in your kitchen. Yes, you read that right—you can achieve a radiant, smooth, and "glassy" complexion with something as simple as rice water. Or fresh cucumber juice. Or the aloe vera that lives on your windowsill, silently watching you splurge on a serum that smells like a lab and costs like a weekend in Tuscany.
Summer 2025 has officially begun – and not with a weather forecast, but with a new Calzedonia campaign, in which Kendall Jenner poses in a turquoise Shiny Satin bikini.
