When I wake up, I wash my face with Relevant Complete Cleansing Serum, which is part of the skin-care line I founded in 2022. I love it because it’s hydrating and doesn’t strip your skin. Three times a week I exfoliate with The Things We Do Gly Glow Scrub. I follow up with the Relevant Beam + Glow Eye Serum, which I use all around my eyes but also on the fine lines around my mouth. I use the Sunburst C+ Superfruit Serum, and then I finish with Relevant’s One & Done Everyday Cream With SPF 40. It doesn’t leave a cast on the skin, and you can reapply it over makeup. In the shower, I use Saltair’s Exotic Pulp body wash and República’s Sugar Body Polish. I was not into bar soaps for a while, but the beauty retailer I co-founded, Thirteen Lune, now carries Gently. I love Karité’s Hydrating Body Cream and Goop’s Afterglow Body Oil — my skin just drinks those up. I’ve been using Kiehl’s Creme de Corps since college.

Discover the incredible world of Sweden’s ICEHOTEL 34 this winter. Picture this: 500 tonnes of ice, equivalent to 10 Olympic swimming pools of the finest "snis" – a blend of ice and snow – meticulously crafted over six intense weeks. The journey began in spring, as ice blocks were harvested from the Torne River and stored in an ice warehouse in Jukkasjärvi, awaiting their transformation into a magical experience. The unique creation has emerged from the creative minds of 32 artists, spanning 14 countries from around the globe.

Safety is top of mind for many travelers as they plan out their trips for 2024 and beyond. But for those in the LGBTQ community, and their allies, knowing which countries are welcoming towards gay travelers is an important consideration. Part of measuring that sentiment is knowing where residents stand on rights, including same-sex marriage. The Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about issues and attitudes shaping the world, released a new study showing which country’s residents support same-sex marriage the most, and which countries have the lowest level of support.

Warsaw has just moved closer to Munich, Berlin nudged towards Paris, and Aachen slipped nearer to Salzburg. These are just three examples of city pairs that are newly linked, as of this week, by direct night trains. None of these city pairs currently has direct daytime trains, so the overnight options create a web of opportunities. As always in December, rail operators across Europe are introducing new schedules, along the way creating tantalising links where none existed before.

Fans of Finnish author Tove Jansson will love the idyllic Pellinki archipelago, where she spent her summers on a tiny island, Klovharun, described in several of her novels. About 50 miles east of Helsinki, Pellinki forms part of a group of islands, linked by bridges and a delightful ferry, which you can explore by boat, car, bicycle, bus or on foot. Walk through the woods to reach one of the quiet beaches, hire a boat to fish or just tootle around the beautiful bays and stay in a traditional, wooden cottage with a matching sauna set among the trees where the only sounds you’ll hear are birdsong and the gentle putter of a small boat passing by. Finnish people know a lot about the importance of connecting with nature and this is a place where you will quickly find yourself reflecting on what really matters in life. Christine
