Life is greater amongst art and beauty

In our constant quest for beauty and pleasure in everyday life we met Krasen Trojanski. “Fantasy helps me live well,” he said once, and we realized that we’ve met a soul mate.

Krasen works in the field of product design, mostly with porcelain. We particularly enjoyed his wealth of works inspired by contemporary material culture that make his art so accessible to everyone despite the finesse of the craft and its shapes. The union of the two worlds: the one of art and that of the everyday life, makes Krasen’s creations so attractive. Lego cubes, plastic cups, chewing gums, ice cream waffle cones – ordinary objects well known to everyone, recreated from exquisite porcelain in clear and bright colors.

The Food of Gods

Theobroma cacao, which means in Latin ‘Food of the Gods’ has its name for a good reason.

Needles to convince anyone about the feel good benefits of chocolate, the following health enhancing facts might make you reconsider you diet.

Cocoa is rich in iron, magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, copper and manganese. The antioxidants and flavonoids in the cocoa bean have a positive effect on our heart, blood pressure and skin.

Magic steps to put your life in order

De cluttering your home could be the catalyst to getting your life on track. It might sound a little farfetched, but it really can have a profound effect on your mental clarity and day to day life. By organizing the home and getting rid of things you no longer need, you may begin to think and see things with a clearer mind.

We looked to Marie Kondo for some much needed advice. For those who don’t know Kondo is renowned for her expertise in helping people transform their homes into spaces of serenity and calm. Sounds a dream, but unfortunately we aren’t able to magically fly her overseas to our homes. Being left to de clutter alone can be a pretty large and daunting prospect. So we’re going to break down a few of her ingenious methods here just to give you a little idea of how to declutter Kondo style:

One more way to happiness

Followers of Coppa della Maga would know that our brand not only stands for healthy food and indulgence, but also for the importance of a well-balanced, mind- and soul- fulfilling lifestyle in order to care for our mental health. Besides from good nutrition, our overall wellbeing and happiness is dependent on other factors such as our work-life balance, physical activity, how mindful we are and who we surround ourselves with. Today 1 in 4 people suffer from a mental health disorder. Unlike stress that typically has a specific trigger, anxiety may appear out of the blue, leaving the sufferer in a constant state of apprehension and fear. Anxiety can affect people physically, psychologically and behaviourally.

Anxiety attacks can often occur at night. During a normal busy day, running from one meeting to the next and juggling multiple tasks, the brain is simply too busy to worry and feel anxious. At night, however, when there is a lack of distraction, we are forced to confront our thoughts. What makes things harder is people often become their own worst enemy and predict an anxiety attack before it’s begun, this can then lead to a very vicious cycle. That’s why it’s extremely important to learn different strategies which aim to keep anxiety under control.The good news is that there is a biological explanation behind anxiety and it is something people can overcome.

Here are our top tips for beating anxiety:
