Every household has its faithful helper in the fight against dust. Sometimes it's quiet, often a bit noisy, but always ready to work.

"Is it time for a new vacuum cleaner?" But hold that thought.

Ah, autumn. That time of year when we put on a fluffy blanket, turn on the TV and pretend we're part of a Scandinavian minimalist commercial for hygge. And what's missing from this scene? Of course – a cup of hot tea. Preferably homemade, made with rosehip, mint, chamomile or that wonderful set that we "spontaneously" picked up on a mountain trip in the summer (and then forgot in the kitchen drawer).

Forget about garden soil, muddy hands, and the feeling of your plant dying dramatically after three weeks just before you're ready to use it in a recipe. There's an easier way to have fresh herbs at your fingertips all year round - no mess, no stress. All you need is a glass of water, some light, and an herb that just decides to grow like crazy. And the best part? Many of these herbs grow even better in water than in soil.

How to prune lavender to make it bloom like in Provence: secrets for lush flowering that garden centers prefer not to tell you https://citymagazine.si/en/how-to-prune-lavender-to-make-it-bloom-like-in-provence-secrets-for-lush-flowering-that-garden-centers-prefer-not-to-tell-you/ Tue, 22 Jul 2025 07:21:38 +0000 https://citymagazine.si/en/?p=648698

Lavender is not just a plant that smells like a holiday, but a true green icon of the Mediterranean garden. It is elegant, unpretentious and incredibly grateful – but only if we treat it correctly. Among the most important tasks that determine its health and flowering is pruning. At first glance, it may seem simple – you take a pair of scissors and cut, but what could go wrong? Well, quite a lot actually. A wrong or sloppy cut can mean fewer flowers, more wood and an unattractive bush that resembles a forgotten hedge more than Provence. Let's take a look at how to prune lavender.

Which onion is used for which dish? Yellow, white or red? https://citymagazine.si/en/which-onion-is-used-for-which-dish-yellow-white-or-red/ Fri, 06 Jun 2025 09:52:24 +0000 https://citymagazine.si/en/?p=641364

Wondering the difference between yellow, white and red onions? You're not alone! If you think that an onion is just an onion and that it doesn't matter which one you use for bolognese sauce, burgers or guacamole, then you're in for a culinary revelation. Different types of onions have completely different flavors, textures and culinary talents. Each has its own personality - some are dramatic divas, others gentle companions.

Do you really need to preheat the oven before putting food in it – or is it just a myth that makes us use more electricity and ruin the taste? https://citymagazine.si/en/do-you-really-have-to-preheat-the-oven-before-putting-food-in-it-or-is-it-just-a-myth-that-makes-us-use-more-electricity-and-ruin-the-taste/ Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:45:15 +0000 https://citymagazine.si/en/?p=640307

Although preheating the oven may seem obvious or even unnecessary, this step is often what separates a mediocre meal from one worth remembering. Therefore: the oven should be ready before the dish is even placed in it.

A natural dishwasher cleaner that thoroughly removes all dirt (and saves it from odors, mold, and laziness) https://citymagazine.si/en/a-natural-dishwasher-cleaner-that-thoroughly-removes-all-dirt-and-rids-it-of-odors-mold-and-mildew/ Sun, 25 May 2025 05:09:10 +0000 https://citymagazine.si/en/?p=638839

The dishwasher has become an indispensable assistant in modern kitchens, where speed and efficiency play a major role. But even though it washes dishes diligently, we often forget that it also needs attention - not only for aesthetics, but also so that it can function as it should. Occasional odors, cloudy dishes or even mold are not necessarily signs that the appliance is old. Often the reason is simply neglected maintenance. That's why it's time for a homemade dishwasher cleaner.

Coriander, also known as Chinese parsley, is one of those aromatic plants that divides opinion – some love it for its freshness and exotic aroma, while others find its scent reminiscent of soap. But regardless of which camp you fall into, there’s no doubt that coriander is a key ingredient in many cuisines around the world – from Mexican and Indian to Thai and Vietnamese. Its distinct culinary properties have made it increasingly popular in households everywhere.

There's nothing worse than fashion love at first sight that turns into a painful disappointment at home. You walked like you were on a catwalk in the store, but at home... blisters, numb toes and that silent despair when you realize you bought shoes that are half a size too small. Return?

And it doesn't require magic (although it will seem quite miraculous). Let's see how to widen shoes that are too tight.

But in recent years, classic lavender bushes have been giving way to the new star of urban gardening – the lavender tree. Yes, you read that right. We’re not talking about a wild bushy mass, but an elegant, intricately shaped tree that smells like a vacation and looks like a natural sculpture.
