Scientists have tried to define love for decades with brain scans, questionnaires, even carefully labelled charts.
But somehow, they never quite capture this:

Making tea for a friend who’s had a terrible day, not because you know what to say, but because that’s just what love does.
Or it's sitting in silence with someone who doesn’t need to say a word… and still, you feel understood.

Try putting that in a research paper. 😊💛

We came across a beautiful piece by Katherine Reynolds Lewis, where researchers from all corners of science try to unravel the mystery of love.
The deeper they dig, the more fascinating it gets.

If you’ve ever wondered what love really is, or just needed a little reminder of what it looks like in real life, this one’s for you.

Scientists have been trying to define love for decades - with brain scans, questionnaires, and carefully labelled charts.
But somehow, they never quite capture this ...

You’re sitting in silence with someone who doesn’t need to say a word… and still, you feel understood.
Or you’re making tea for a friend who's had a terrible day - not because you have the right words, but because that’s what love does.

Try putting that in a research paper. 😊💛

We came across a beautiful piece by Katherine Reynolds Lewis, where researchers across disciplines try to untangle the mystery of love. The more they explore, the more fascinating it becomes.

Good news, sunshine lovers … Vitamin D might just be the fountain of youth in disguise.

A new long-term study found that getting enough vitamin D (whether from the sun or a supplement) could knock three years off your biological age by protecting your telomeres - the tiny caps on your chromosomes that are key to how we age.

We’re not saying your morning sunbeam just became a skincare treatment … but we’re also not not saying that. 😎☀️

💛 Just another reason to follow the sun, soak it up safely. Your future self might thank you.

Ever found yourself drifting off during something dull … then suddenly making a connection you didn’t even know you were looking for?

Turns out, your mind might be doing something quietly brilliant.

A recent study found that when we naturally daydream during routine tasks, our brains can become better at spotting hidden patterns. It’s like your focus steps aside… and something deeper kicks in.

So next time your thoughts wander mid-meeting or mid-spreadsheet… maybe let them. You could be seeing something others miss.

✨ This post was inspired by a feature in Psychology Today, based on new research into inferential learning and mind-wandering.

Strawberries, champagne… and now chocolate? 🍫💛

We’re back with another gentle reminder that life’s little joys might be doing more for us than we realise.

In a new article for Psychology Today, Dr. Mitchell B. Liester explores how dark chocolate - thanks to its flavonoids - might actually help reduce symptoms of depression.

It’s no quick fix, of course. But maybe that little square you savour at the end of the day has more to it than just good taste.

It’s yet another sign that joy, taken seriously but lightly, is worth keeping on the menu. ✨
