When the morning mists envelop the forests of Grisons, Tor Alva shines through them like a luminous obelisk of visionary vision. At first glance, the dreamy, white tower rises like poetry, but in reality it stands on the edge of a technological breakthrough – it is the tallest 3D-printed building in the world, at almost 30 meters high.
The washing machine – the silent hero of the household that never takes a vacation. But if we don't give it a little love (read: cleaning), it can quickly take its revenge on us... with an ominous musty smell. And nothing kills the freshness of freshly washed laundry faster than the whiff of a musty basement from 1983.
The refrigerator is one of those household appliances that we take for granted – until it starts behaving like an irritated teenager: loud, unpredictable and completely inefficient. We usually only really start to deal with it when things stop working as they should – when the milk goes sour before its expiration date, when the appliances hum like generators and when we are surprised by an unpleasantly high electricity bill.
Bath towels are something we use almost every day without paying much attention to them. After showering, we wrap them around our bodies, throw them over the rack, sometimes on the floor, sometimes over the bed (scream of horror!), and then – if we’re being honest – we use them again. And again. And again. Until they start to give off a scent that lets us know that we’ve clearly crossed the line of cleanliness.
No, the sun isn't always your plants' friend—sometimes it's more like that acquaintance who stays around too long. If you want your houseplants to look like something straight out of an Instagram story (and not a desert documentary) this summer, follow these tried-and-true tips for watering your plants.

Wedding season 2025 is here in full force – and this time not in heels, but in sneakers. Yes, you read that right. If you're still convinced that the only real wedding footwear is the one that turns you into Sleeping Beauty after three hours (minus the prince, just with blisters), then it's time for a refresher: wedding sneakers are the new bridal must-have.
If you've ever wished you could wear the scent of vanilla cream, freshly baked almonds, or sparkling lemon pie without looking like a pastry chef at work, we've got news to cheer your nose (and ego). Gourmet perfumes are making a comeback in 2025—not as the cheap vanilla sprays of your teenage years, but as sophisticated, layered works of art that blend sweet nostalgia with grown-up glamour.
When a mini fashion show with freshly purchased pieces slowly unfolds in the dressing room, it feels like a fairytale. A new shirt that shines beautifully, that pair of jeans that finally fit you well – instant love! And then you say to yourself: “Ah, it’s new, clean as a tear!” And boom – you’re already dressed and on your way to town.
Anyone who has a garden – whether it’s a vegetable patch, a flower oasis or even a proud herb spiral – knows that heartbreaking moment. Just when everything is going well, the neighbor’s cat comes by and declares it his new bathroom. Or your dog who thinks lettuce is the new agility course.
We all panic a little before going on vacation. And while we're searching for shoes in the closet and our passport, there's that silent, almost existential dilemma running in the background: Did I turn off the stove? And then, once you're in the car, in the middle of the highway, or maybe already on the plane, comes the classic "mental trick": you're absolutely sure you've forgotten something. What exactly? It's not clear. But something. Maybe just that.
Some fashion choices from the past deserve to be forgotten forever, while others are experiencing a real rebirth – better, more beautiful and with a touch of confidence. It seems that styles that once reigned supreme are now conquering hair salons, TikTok, the streets and Zoom meetings. And no, this is not just nostalgia, this is a real fashion revival.
