This month, Queen Elizabeth II. became the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Princess Elizabeth, then only 25 years old, made a promise before the Commonwealth of Nations: "I declare before you that my life, be it long or short, will be dedicated to work for you and work for our great royal family, to which all we belong.” No one who heard these words thought that Queen Elizabeth II would be. one day overtook her great-grandmother Queen Victoria's record and stayed on the throne for 63 years, seven months and two days.

For quite some time, the rule of thumb has been that humans are born with a certain level of intelligence and the best we can do is live up to our potential. But scientists have proven that we can actually increase our potential and enjoy the process. By learning new skills, the brain creates new nerve pathways that enable faster and better quality work.

Browsing Instagram surely means that we will come across some picture of coffee, landscape or feast - all processed with the right filter and caption.

Being the one and only lady in the office, in our work environment, of course has its advantages. The women's toilet is always empty and no one "steals" our women's accessories. But believe it or not, a recent study found that women in male-dominated workforces may actually be at high risk for some serious health problems.

People who have more time and enjoy cooking probably spend most of their time in the kitchen. This is the reason why their cooking surface must be comfortable and practical. Still other people just enjoy good food but don't like to cook - and you want their kitchen to be unique above all else. We have prepared a selection of modern and amazing kitchen sinks.
The catwalks were loud and clear - shoes and boots rule the fall of 2015. This fall's trends - over-the-knee boots, furry accessories and patchwork shoes - will soon rule our streets too.
Luxury is still a term that not only expresses the price of something, but also those intangible qualities of exclusivity, uniqueness and pure pleasure that come from experiencing luxury. Everything from cosmetics to fashion, luxury has become a "value" that everyone has decided to pursue. The same applies to catering, both for gastronomy and for accommodation. Although there are many unique accommodation options in the world, there are only six where luxury is awarded with seven stars. Here are the only six hotels in the world that have seven stars.
The Hindu festival of Diwali, which means "festival of lights", is celebrated by millions of people in India, Nepal and elsewhere every year in autumn. But the festival in Nepal has one special feature – one day of the festival is dedicated to our four-legged friends, dogs. On this day, people thank our furry friends for being who they are - loyal and loving.
