HAPPINESS COMES FROM THE INSIDE
It does not take much to be happy
We all know that true happiness comes from the inside. People who are happy have a certain something. And what makes a man the happiest? Right, a nice new toy. NIVEA Magazine will therefore present four "man toys" for inner and outer beauty.
Crank it up
Those who do not sing in the bath themselves need a jukebox for their favourite wellness soundtrack. Floating, water-resistant, battery-operated radios are clearly winning out against sinking ships in the bathtub and rubber ducks. While a good radio program helps in the morning to get things under control, a relaxing bath in the evening with an audio book in the CD or mp3 player can help you forget the day. Even intense treatments and long shaving sessions spin away and help to clear your head.
Drinking is the new food
It is very obvious. Why should you munch on one raw vegetable after the other when a good swig is just as good? Get yourself a juicer. In marked contrast to its name, juicers help refill that empty tank with vitamins, minerals and trace elements. And nothing is more delicious than fresh fruit juice. Whether a pure smoothie from an entire fruit (without seeds or shells) or enriched with calcium from milk, yoghurt or, hmm, even ice cream, it is up to your individual taste and calorie needs. Made of stainless steel, these powerful machines are also true designer appliances.
Fire and flame
The love of fire can be found deep within us. From the sociable campfire to romantic candlelight, dancing flames are always a magnet for the eye and a source of emotions. It is nice that you can now take your campfire with you. You can buy highly modern and portable fireplaces in furniture shops – you can even rent them. Ethanol is used to power these and there are no damaging emissions; that is why no connection to a chimney is needed. One of these would be perfect for a peaceful bath beside an open fire.
An axe at home saves a trip to the gym
There is always something to do. Those who once missed out while giving the ceiling a new coat of paint now just laugh about those machines at the gym. Being the handyman at home is the craze these days. Do-it-yourself is the motto of the hour. The Internet is booming with DIY blogs full of inspirations and instructions. The tool of choice naturally depends on your project. In the best case scenario, after a DIY workout, both your body and your home are in better shape.
