A Very Martian New Year
Sunrise On Mars, 2005. NASA.
Happy New Year! Except for those who are planning on venturing a life on Mars. Prospective “Martians” need to wait another 322 days to ring in a new year. Are you ready to work nearly twice as many days before celebrating? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
Earth’s orbit around the sun = 365 days
Mars’ orbit around the sun = 687 days

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.
We swim with them, then we eat them. Grilled, fried and dried. What’s the best fish in these parts?
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.
The sun, the moon and… sweat? Keeping Pitta energy cool this Summer starts before the season. This is how.
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?
