Better life

Building a house is a process full of decisions affecting not only the appearance, but also future comfort and energy savings. One of the most underestimated topics is exterior shading. Many people only address it after their facade is finished – in many cases often too late.

December is the ideal time to prepare for the coming year. A diary, personalised bullet journal, or a wall-hung planning calendar can help you organise your activities. Which of them will fit you best?

Mushrooms have had ideal growing conditions over the last few weeks: thanks to the heat and humidity, almost everyone brings full baskets from the woods. If you do not manage to eat the crop fresh, there are several ways to stock the mushrooms to last you through the winter or even until next summer: from the traditional ones in the form of dried slices, to freezing and preserving, to original products, such as the mushroom purée or cracklings.

Small balconies are often unused. Decorate your balcony in detail and according to your wishes. Don't worry, nothing is impossible and even a small balcony can fit a lot of stuff! Living in an apartment is more affordable (and often more comfortable) than in a large house these days, that's for sure. But even people from block of flats sometimes long for a bit of greenery, for pleasant sitting in the fresh air or for relaxing in the sun. All this is possible if your apartment has a balcony. Even the smallest balcony can be smartly equipped, so you will be able to enjoy many things on it. Especially vital and indispensable relax.
