As the years pass, and I watch society grow increasingly dependent on technology, I start to realize that mine was probably one of the last generations to have experienced a healthy and happy childhood. From tablets to smartphones, today children are preoccupied with objects that rob them of their attention and prevent them from focusing on the real world. Instead of the simplistic toys of the past, today kids are playing with things that are electrical, computerized, and I must say, expensive. Quite sad, isn't it?

Fashion is an inevitable part of our everyday life. We buy a large number of clothes per year, thus spend a lot of money on creating our look and maintaining a certain style. It is such a powerful tool, as it is a way to say who you are without having to speak. However, the rise of fast fashion and its inhumane corporate practices have prompted the birth of a movement which fights against today's fashion industry and the unsustainability of its business model. In order words, now we have ethical clothing as an alternative to mass-produced clothing.

Cooking is more than just throwing the ingredients in a pot and stirring them. It is an art in which you need to know how to mix the right ingredients at the right temperature so that you have an out-of-this-world experience. But besides all that, cooking also requires some appropriate pieces of equipment. Focusing on the different kinds of pots and pans, many people disregard the huge importance of cooking knives for an easier and more pleasant cooking experience. The kitchen knife is certainly the most practical and necessary tool in every kitchen - no dish can be prepared without using the proper one for the purpose. There are plenty of options to choose from, but to be able to choose the right kitchen knife for the task at hand, you need to understand the different types available.

In a world where being pressed for time happens on a daily basis, taking care of an aging parent is not really part of our schedules. Yet, it doesn't have to be this way. Sure, we might think they'd be better off in nursing homes where they'd be able to meet people of their own age, make friends, and have professional care 24/7, but does that really help in the long run?

As a bride to be, you've probably spent the last few months organising the wedding of your dreams and you couldn't be more proud. From picking out the ideal place to sending out the pretty invites and choosing the perfect dress, you've planned all the essentials for the big day, but may have overlooked the bridal accessories. Adding these finishing touches to your outfit can help create a whole new look or simply further define your style. Here are some bridal accessories suggestions to help you pick the perfect ones.

Veil or No Veil

Although there is no bridal handbook that states you have to wear a veil, nothing makes a bride stand out from the crowd more than these bridal accessories. If you prefer, you can go with a headpiece instead. When choosing a veil, make sure it matches the colour of your dress – an ivory veil might look used against a bright white gown or vice versa. If your dress has lots of details or for example a beautiful back you don't want to cover up, a sheer veil would be a better choice than one that is layered. When it comes to length, a floor-length style usually goes better with petite women as it elongates the body. Mid-length or elbow-length veils helps balance a tall frame and a shorter veil that frames the face works well for all sizes and shapes.
