#ThePowerOfMakeUp is a new viral campaign where women and men post half-makeup faces on social media. In doing so, they not only show off their makeup skills, but also prove that makeup is a powerful tool of transformation that only makes them more confident in who they are.
Humans are incorrigible. Although we convince ourselves that we are ecologically aware, little by little we sin in all directions. One such sweet vice is showering. All we really need is a few minutes, but we like to stay in the shower much longer. Since it's not a long shower, let them preach to us about environmental awareness. Well, if it doesn't go well, it will go badly, thought Elisabeth Buecher, who invented Spiky, a spiky shower curtain that "spikes" you after four minutes of showering and forces you to end the shower willy-nilly.
Design studio Sharen Davis Design has built a multipurpose 'treehouse' on an old homestead in Garrison (NY), which is basically a modern children's playground, raised off the ground and placed between tall trees.
Eyewear brand Bændit has launched a collection of bendable modular sunglasses that you don't have to worry about losing or ruining if you accidentally sit on them. These are universal sunglasses that you can not only bend and twist to your heart's content, but because of the interchangeable parts, you can assemble and combine them as your heart desires. The design is brilliant for two reasons, which you will read below.
Shreddies is a revolutionary underwear with a special carbon fabric that neutralizes the unpleasant smell of wind. In a vernacular way, it allows you to release it with peace of mind even in the company of your partner without being embarrassed. Because of its exceptional filtration capabilities (it can eliminate up to 200 times stronger odors than usual), unpleasant odors remain trapped in the fabric, which neutralizes them.
Beautiful sunny days are perfect for sitting in the shade - especially of good restaurants and taverns, which can be found in their beautiful courtyards and terraces. So which are the restaurants in Ljubljana that, in addition to a good culinary offer, can also boast of beautiful gardens, terraces and courtyards? What are the most beautiful Ljubljana terraces and courtyards for a summer lunch?
Some will consider it blasphemy, but after 98 years, the Converse brand has decided to give the legendary Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars, which were named after the amateur basketball player Chuck Taylor, a new look. They look almost identical on the outside, but on the inside, the Chuck IIs, as they were called, are much more comfortable than their predecessors.
Since the advent of mobile phones, and even more so smart phones, etiquette at the dining table has failed. People take pictures of food to keep it cool in the meantime, we don't even know what we're eating, because our eyes are glued to the screen, and parents literally have to push their children to put it down and eat a meal normally and find out how it was at school. It's likely that your smartphone has sparked an argument at your desk. Now Ikea has a solution. This will be part of the Sittning collection, a limited series of products that will also include a special Logged out placemat with a smartphone pocket.
Gorenje has also included a unique IQCook smart induction cooker in its series of latest kitchen appliances, which turns cooking into a completely new experience, as it provides automatic cooking or baking, without having to stand by the cooker yourself and check how our culinary masterpiece is progressing. In addition to five cooking and baking programs, it also enables the SoftMelt function, which we used this time to prepare hot chocolate with cardamom. Let's not forget the prize game, which runs until July 31 and can bring us a one-month online cooking course on the portal of chef Binet Volčič.
You've probably seen many architectural ideas of the future, but the Dalian House is like something straight out of a science fiction movie. Its conceptual design was signed by the Preliminary Research Office, which gave it a deflected and asymmetrical shape. Its interior, on the other hand, resembles a copy of a prehistoric cave dwelling rather than futurism (if we disregard modern materials, of course).
The fight for our wrist continues. After classic jewelry and watches, now there are smart watches and other technological gadgets, and the latest to join this series of products fighting for this human "real estate" is the Helix bracelet. Why would I convince you? Because of its elegance and ergonomics? You can. But the Helix, which is launching on Kickstarter, offers even more. In fact, it hides Bluetooth headphones, an essential accessory of man in the 21st century.
