Lana Citron Kissing Tip

Read

You can also read our interview with die-hard romantic and professional writer Lana Citron. Her book A Compendium of Kisses is a playful, and at times unsettling, read into everything about the humble kiss – its cultural meaning, how it differs from place to place, and the history behind the different types of kisses you might come across.

Watch

Watch this quirky little tongue-in-cheek cartoon about love’s trials and tribulations. You could also pop on the classic Grease (that’s what we’re watching this week), or The Big Short featuring our #khoollectcrush Ryan Gosling.
