Dating during COVID hasn’t been easy … but Tinder wants to help. If you’ve been struggling to meet people because of quarantine, Tinder might have you covered. They’ll be sending 500 matched couples a pair of free COVID tests to get people back out into the dating world. Interested? You can claim a code for the tests on March 20th (via the Tinder app) starting at 7 p.m. (ET.) You can get more details here. (The Verge)
Forget cannabis brownies, we’re about to get some high-end cannabis-infused cuisine. Chopped 420 will premiere this spring – on 4/20, naturally, on discovery+. The Chopped spin-off will feature the same theme of chefs competing to impress the judges with their take on the basket of mystery ingredients. What won’t be a mystery, however, is that each basket will include some form of THC. (Food & Wine)
The first day of spring is tomorrow. Here are some ways the changing season could make you happier and healthier . . .
1. There’s better light. We just changed the clocks so it’s brighter later now. And the sudden jump in the amount of sunshine we get can have a big impact on our mood.
2. The sky is bluer. It’s not your imagination, the sky actually looks more blue in the springtime. It’s due in part to the Sun’s position in the sky this time of year.
3. You might sleep better. Being exposed to more sunlight during the day can help you sleep better at night. And if you’re sleeping better, you’ll feel more awake and able to concentrate during the day.
4. Activities like gardening are a mood-enhancer. Any activity that gets you outside and moving is probably good for your health and wellbeing. It can affect everything from your metabolism, weight, and mood, to things like cardiovascular disease and even eyesight.
