Efforts to become a better version of oneself is increasingly gaining active attention. If the Tik-Tokkers are doing it, it must be a thing right. Diets, exercises, and supplements still play a fundamental role in how we perceive transformation into so-called better people. Why is so many people unhappy with what they chose to become?

Finding the so-called Right One takes more than a swipe and a list of objectives. No love story is as epic as Ram and Sita’s. Not every couple is as swoon-worthy as Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. Dali and Gala remain surreal status symbols- dream couple, indeed. Have you become lethargic about love? From soulmate to twin flame, we either complement each other or are a Mary-Kate and Ashley oddity. Both really depend on one word.

These are some of the all-time favorite things that our Editor-in-Chief and Founder love. Dr. Kuver has tested these products for years and has come to love them. She also likes these businesses for their personableness.

Science says money buys happiness. And time. Few can afford either. Prosocial spending results in a jolly mood. There is one caveat. A higher level of happiness comes from buying presents for people who are considered higher on the intimacy list. Love father more than mother? Buy him a $450 million dollar da Vinci and take her out for a $4000 crab feast.

Season’s greetings to those tiny and small shops that have just what any gift list needs. Wines, teas and skincare delight everything from hosts or stockings. No need to seek out the Wizard in Oz, thinking small is beneficial for the brain and heart.

This Halloween, before putting the potion in motion, do not light the black flame candle or forget a fresh “dead man’s”… Broom hoe!

If sitting in Vermont foliage traffic or lining up for upstate apples is not on the itinerary, then head in the opposite-ish direction. The East End offers a calmer setting for the season.

One day away feels better than one day at home or work. The visual, somatosensory and auditory cortices respond positively to experiences that are away from daily responsibilities and in countryside surroundings.

Arround an hour north of the city, Beacon covers all the basics from food to art. Not exactly the woods, but this upstate location offers beautiful foliage views within a bustling town.

This year “transformational change” has taken over. TikTokers figured out that the last 3 months of the year are consequential to how next year will be. It is time to look inside for a total reflection on who one wants to be. A “new” person. Groundbreaking.

Avoid the heat that burns deeper than sunburns and lasts long after heatwaves. Choose foods and drinks that will help you survive the hottest Summers. Be a not instead of hot.

Carissa’s will continue their Kith Treats collaboration throughout the Summer in the Hamptons. Though the first try was unimpressive, I may return for their ice cream sandwich. If you have tasted Carissa’s Miso Chocolate Chip cookie, then you understand the importance of second chances.

From Montauk to Southampton, the East End provides a lot of options.

We swim with them, then we eat them. Grilled, fried and dried. What’s the best fish in these parts?

Blake Lively, cinnamon rolls and… Hoboken?

The second thing summer brings to mind is strawberries. From Alzheimer’s to fat, who makes these vitamin-c packed berries into a better shortcake?

Chilled, iced but not diced. The disadvantages of low temperature beverages still needs research support.

Everyone wanted to know how they lived, who they dated and, specifically, how they looked the way they looked. They were undeniably stunning in their individual ways. They were not clones like Victoria’s Secret Push-Up models. So, how exactly did they get that way?

Many of the leaders are accomplished women.

I really enjoy the fact that I am exposed to so many different aspects.

Instead of a metamorphosis, an amendment is made like when the sun is undeviatingly above the Equator. Add and subtract like a pH balancing titration to retain who we really are and ultimately prevent disease and disorientation. The most delightful and immediate method is through beauty routines. Umm Skincare champions this odyssey with a collection that transforms the senses. They describe it as “neuro-sensory” based on ‘ancient bath ritual’ from India. While the carefully curated amalgamation of scents travels from the olfactory system to the GBA and HPA axis (gut-brain and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal), we travel to a moment of becoming.

Orphéon has elements that summon intrigue and renewal- forbidden tonka bean, boho vintage Paris and a brand story. Thinking of an old Parisian jazz club conjures images of plush velvet blue seating and dark oak round drink tables. Its grains lit up by a small votive candle and intimate stage lights. Only fine wisps of high-quality tobacco smoke and tunes of Satchmo fill the air. Unfortunately, hypnotic is not the adjective for it. This product line and experience is held together like tobacco. Essentially, Diptyque’s Jazz Club in NYC is a free little coffee shop where candles are available for purchase and a live band plays jazz.

We chose 6 colors for Fall and Winter. Due to differing physical and physiological characteristics, each dosha has defining qualities to their nails. Are you a hardy, malnourished or shabby creature?

Chanel’s Les Beiges Sheer Healthy Glow Highlighting Fluid in Sunkissed has been our founder’s staple for decades. A touch on the cheekbones, nose, brow bone and bow of the lip finalizes her daily look. Addressing these points pre-makeup stimulates areas they connect to in the body and mind.

Is it a bar, is it an art piece? Now it is both. After a long-awaited liquor license, Hauer & Wirth’s Roth Bar opened a NYC location for Spring 2025. The opening reception for the wizard of transformation and transitoriness, Dieter Roth, was held at their 18th street gallery on February 25, 2025. Alongside Islandscapes, this was an early look at the bar as an extension of the bar as an installation. How peculiar to drink and eat at a bar created by someone who made art with decaying food.

As elephants and humans share spaces in Karnataka, NYers need to share this exhibition space with an elephantine crowd of visitors and other locals.

Architecture melds into life by allowing habitability. It is not always harmonious on a personal or global front. We can hide in our rooms, relocate to another neighborhood, or remodel. But, the concrete also crumbles to non-renewable sand.

Today some of these artists are hailed as pioneers and the art has crossed over to high fashion. Here are the ways graffiti has inadvertently projected itself onto science.

Pitta, Vata and Kapha stay in to watch movies that serve their doshic needs and escape the unbearable heat.

Frank Stella said “I don’t like to say I have given my life to art. I prefer to say art has given me may life.”

Any message must be moving enough to penetrate the viewer. Resonating with them to make a lasting impact that either causes them to take action or think before they do. Or both. Involving the audience in artworks increases the likelihood of impact. Science does not effectively do that.

Spring love is arriving warm in silk, cashmere and fluff. Red with a splash of vanilla and snuggle of gray bring tridoshic energy to warmer temperatures and extended sunshine.

The ceaseless response to fear of rejection, criticism and uncertainty forms a prolonged rhythm without inserting a resolution check-point. Creative and profitable expectations are akin to nerves propagating electrical messages in continuous motion when their receptor connection signals them to keep producing. This pressure can crash the nervous system and personal harmony. Unless, one does as Marc Jacobs: recognize how to work the positive and the negative. The last three collections are evidence that Jacobs clearly appreciates the need for fear- emotionally and cognitively.

Popping non-EtOH bubbles and shining bright. No doubt, dressing up adds cheeriness. Not only for the person who dresses up, but also for the people around us. A lot of people find it inspiring. Infectious, even. Is a Fashionable $cience droplet not preferable to an influenza infection? This NYE, we take monochromatic looks out for a night on the town. Or maybe don our shiniest attire for a glitzy night in marathoning with Jacques Tati. After all, personal energy, or doshic constitution, stimulates feelings of luxury.

Seasons change, moods transform, so let us revamp our outfits to reflect our seasonal awareness. Pitta needs to cool down her mind and body after a sultry Summer. Vata and Kapha get to embrace these cooler seasons. Head-to-toe beige, blue and grey speak volumes about personal energetics taking over a fresh time of year.

Let us prevent soars in cortisol with easy dosha dressing for Summer escapes to the Hamptons.
