@moniquekivella by @daria.koso.photo   The 10 Rules of Sauna Etiquette The only sauna rule we’ve ever followed? Outlasting at least one person who comes in after us. Though, to be fair, we might’ve made that one up. The real rules? Towel on vs. towel off. Talk vs. silence. Turns out, sauna etiquette is an unspoken art. And it varies wildly depending on where you are.  Unwritten rules, decoded.   The Watch Inspired by American Servicemen in WWII [Partner]  The Vaer C5 Dirty Dozen is a story on your wrist.

Add in powerful low-light lume and two interchangeable straps, and you’ve got a piece of history that’s as versatile as it is timeless. Add it to your collection today.   SHOP NOW   An Imagined Conversation Between the People Who Designed Urban Apartment Balconies We prefer our meetings to be fake.

Translation: the threads of god. Funny. That’s what we call the patch of hair sprouting on our southern back. Jokes aside, this pasta is impossibly intricate. We held our breath just looking at a picture of it. One ill-timed sigh could blow it away.  All food tells a story. This one’s just incredibly detailed.   28 Modern Christmas Classics to Watch Before the Holidays This list includes The Holdovers, so you know you can trust it. Nothing against old-timey classics.
