We’re taking our time while traveling this year. After a fitful 2022, when a wave of pent-up wanderlust crashed over hot destinations, overwhelming hotels and airlines, 2023 seems like a chance to give up revenge travel and reset. That means leisurely strolling through neighborhoods with no set plan, putting aside time to unwind in nature, and following surprising new passions, to-do list be damned.

WINTERS ARE BRUTAL in Finland. The warmest month in the south of Finland, July, only gets between 55 and 63 degrees Fahrenheit, while the coldest, February, averages between minus 7 and 26 degrees Fahrenheit. The north has two-month-long sunless winters, while the south sees only around six hours of daylight. It’s the type of weather that will make you seriously consider staying inside rather than going out with your friends, social distancing guidelines or not. So perhaps it’s not surprising that staying home in the comfort of your underwear is a cultural tradition in Finland. It’s called kalsarikännit, which essentially translates to, “The feeling when you are going to get drunk home alone in your underwear — with no intention of going out.” Kalsarikännit wasn’t a concept created during the worst of times. It wasn’t inspired by government orders to stay away from each other. Nevertheless, as the world faces an undefined period of time when six feet is the closest people should get, there has never been a better time to embrace pantsless lounging the Finnish way.

Though saucers were invented during the medieval times, it became popular to serve them with a cup of hot beverages during the colonial America period in an effort to allow those drinking the tea or coffee to not burn their mouth — the person being served the saucer and coffee cup would separate the two and pour small amounts of the beverage into the saucer plate. The thin layer of steamy drink would then cool considerably faster than the beverage contained in the cup, allowing the person drinking to enjoy warm but not scalding coffee.

Chocolate, strawberries, oysters: we’ve all heard that certain foods can heighten our sexual desire and even performance. But is there any truth to the claims?
