Time to relax!

  • “You worked hard today, and deserve to relax. Open up a bottle of wine, light up some reefer, and let your eyes be entertained by beautiful colors merging into something magical, perfectly viscous paints smoothly coming together.” – Watching Paint Daubs Get Mixed Together Is Weirdly Calming
  • “During the tearful series finale of ‘Gilmore Girls,’ Rory (Alexis Bledel) finally graduates from college, thus realizing her mother’s Ivy League dreams, but what if Stars Hollow were to be attacked by a roving zombie horde instead? The small screen doesn’t do this, as viewers would riot.” – The power of unhappy endings: “Black Mirror” finds hope in the darkness
  • “It’s like the furniture version of ASMR. This short video from Vitra shows the materials of an Eames Lounge Chair coming together.” – Bliss out to this tranquil video of an Eames Lounge Chair being assembled by hand

  • “Hygge is a Danish word that roughly translates as cosiness, conviviality, intimacy. It is a homespun, Nordic take on the French concept of joie de vivre. Coffee pots, cinnamon buns, candles; cashmere socks, hands wrapped around mugs. It is a chic way to bow out of the frenzied jollity of party season, but more sociable and fun than the yoga and clean-eating lifestyle.” – Hygge – a soothing balm for the traumas of 2016

Time to relax with a trip to the animal kingdom!

  • “When most people imagine a panda, they instantly envision an adorably fluffy, black and white bear — but this very special animal named Qizai will defy preconceived notions.” – The world’s only known ‘brown panda’ will fascinate you
  • “Sloths may be the world’s slowest animal but they are also one of the most curious. The mammal spends the majority of its life in the rainforests of central and south America – sleeping, eating, mating and even giving birth in the treetops. Most of this time is spent hanging from branches using its fantastically long fingernails (okay, technically claws) but occasionally the creature does venture down onto the forest floor.” – International Sloth Day: 21 things you never knew about world’s slowest animal
  • “The photo editor himself said: ‘He asked if I could “edit his photos” like fine tune them. ‘I asked if I could just do the whole thing for him and made some bullshit story about how much I know how to make the perfect profile (I don’t) so he asked me to make him the perfect one.’” – Guy secretly edits sloths into all of his friend’s Tinder photos
  • “In her reporting on the animal, NPR’s Jackie Northam described it this way: ‘The pangolin is about the size of a raccoon and looks like an artichoke with legs. Its head and body are covered with an armor of thorny scales, giving it the appearance of a reptile. When a pangolin is scared, it curls up into a tight ball.’” – Pangolin, The ‘Artichoke With Legs,’ Earns Top Trade Protection
  • “There’s even evidence that a wombat dermal shield can be used as an offensive weapon, a la Captain America. It’s thought that when a predator becomes too persistent, the wombat can slam its butt against the roof or walls of the burrow and literally crush the skull of its enemy.” – Wombats have buns of steel – and they might literally be deadly
