Let's be honest. We all love that feeling when we pull something golden, shiny, and heavy with Dior on it out of our purse. It instantly makes us feel like our lives are running according to the script of the TV series Emily and Paris. But, let's be even more honest - spending 40 euros and more on a mixture of sugar and Vaseline is a financial masochism that we will hardly be able to afford in 2026 (you know, inflation and the need for martinis). So the only solution is a DIY lip scrub.
The mattress is an often overlooked casualty of our daily lives. It spends every night with us in all our physical and emotional states – from sweating to catching a cold, from breakfasts in bed to late-night Netflix marathons. Yet we pay it less attention than we do our sofa or our car. The result? Accumulation of dust, sweat, stains, unpleasant odors and (we won’t spoil it) a few bacteria and dust mites.
When the days get shorter, the mornings become foggy and the chill in the air gets that characteristic “winter bite”, we are awakened by the need for warmth – not only in the form of a scarf and tea, but also on a plate. In such moments, we remember dishes that not only fill us up, but also caress the soul. One such culinary embrace comes straight from the Austrian Alps – Kaiserschmarrn. But not the kind from a bag or the one from a tourist hut with questionable raisins. We are talking about the home-made version from the oven, which with its golden-brown crust and soft interior turns winter evenings into little sweet holidays.
If the thought of cleaning your oven makes your eyelids twitch, you're not alone. It's understandable - dried-on grease, burnt-on food residue, and stubborn stains are usually accompanied by the suffocating smell of store-bought cleaners, which makes you feel like you're cleaning your oven with rocket fuel. And after every third swipe with the sponge, you're already out of breath like you've just finished a workout. And that's for results that often aren't particularly impressive.
Because why go to a restaurant when you can recreate the iconic Big Mac taste right at home – and without any secret ingredients or clowns in the background.
If you have a carpet at home, then you know – it’s not a question of if, but when it will experience its first stain. Coffee, wine, baby soda or a dog’s “greeting” after a long walk – carpets are a daily scene for accidents. And when that happens, the first thought is often: “Where is that expensive cleaner I bought once and never used?” Well, good news – there is a better (and significantly cheaper) solution. A homemade, effective and proven mixture that can do more than many industrial cleaners – homemade carpet cleaner.
We all want laundry that is not only clean, but also soft, pleasantly scented and, increasingly important, safe for the skin and the planet. But most commercial fabric softeners and dryer sheets contain chemicals that can be irritating, environmentally harmful, and leave a lot of plastic packaging behind. If you've ever wondered how you could make your laundry room more natural, eco-friendly, and elegantly simple, we've got a recipe so ingeniously simple you'll want to share it with every eco-soul in your life.
Have you ever experienced that wonderful moment when you press the windshield wiper button on a cold winter morning… and nothing happens? No jet dance, no refreshment – just frozen silence and manually scraping the ice with a tissue, like in some poorly directed iced tea commercial. Ironic, considering that a week ago you happily bought a windshield wiper cleaner for the price of a solid lunch, with the cute name “Alpine Freshness”, which was – hand in hand – as fresh as last year’s snow.
A fur hood is often the last line of defense against the wind in winter – and one of the most underrated. We wear it automatically, as a fashionable “frame” for our face, and then we wonder why our cheeks, ears and neck are still cold. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that such edges were created for a very practical reason: to survive the cold, not to get likes on Instagram.
You go to bed tired at night, but sleep just won't come. You wake up in the morning with a feeling of heaviness in your body or with your mind still not calm. Is it possible that stretching before bed could change the quality of your night's rest and how you feel in the morning?
Sneakers, which for many years were synonymous with bad taste, are now once again dictating fashion trends. Sneakers, which we have long ridiculed, are back in fashion. Is this trend nostalgia, provocation or simply a fatigue from perfection? The answer is not clear, but these are definitely the "must-have" sneakers of 2026.
Bathrooms without curtains and blinds? What was recently considered a mistake is now becoming a thoughtful design decision.
