Hei. Is there a better smell than fresh cedar? Possibly, but I haven’t traveled enough to find it.
Pro tip, next time you’re getting your deck re-done, save a few of the off cuts for your closets and drawers. Cedar slowly releases aromatic oils that can repel moths, insects, and mold, helping protect your clothing and fabrics from damage and odours 🪵💁♂️

Two truths and a Loon
Larry the Loon is back, and is looking to test your ability to spot the which of the below is bologna.
Saunas originated in Finland over 2,000 years ago.
Pouring water on sauna stones to create steam is called “löyly.”
Traditional saunas are designed to stay below 120°F to prevent sweating too quickly.
Share TMA
Is it true that people who share TMA with their friends are seen as smart, hip, and fun? That’s not a statement, we’re genuinely asking.
Share it, ask them, and let us know what they say.
Answer
#3 Traditional saunas are WAY hotter than that (often 71–93 °C)…sweating is kinda the whole point 🥵
A Final Note
