Midsummer is fast approaching and the people of Dotsi plan to relax, light a midsummer bonfire and of course swim in the lake and take a midsummer sauna. We also want to make our own flower wreaths from meadow flowers.
In many Finnish families, Midsummer has traditionally been prepared with a major cleaning, changing the summer curtains on the windows and decorating the home with the gifts of the green nature of early summer. If your home needs a new midsummer/summer look, take a look at the Lifestyle section of Dots and get inspired! We recommend ecological Washologi products , which have wonderful, fresh, floral scents, especially for the laundry room for major cleaning.
We also found midsummer magic on the kakkijuhlista.fi website:
"Midsummer night is full of promises for the future, and thanks to the power of the midnight sun, magic works best on Midsummer night. After all, Midsummer was once celebrated specifically as a festival of fertility. Especially unmarried, young girls have made love magic during Midsummer:
- If, after the Midsummer sauna, you throw a sauna stove on the roof of the sauna, the groom will come to the thrower from the direction the wooden head of the stove is pointing.
- For example, if you wander around naked in a dewy cornfield, it is certain that the groom will appear in the current year.
- If you run naked from the sauna to the ditches of the rye field, the groom will meet you in the ninth ditch.
- If you go around a triangular field naked three times, the third time you will meet your future life partner.
- On Midsummer night, if you place seven different flowers, picked from seven different meadows, under your pillow before going to bed, the groom who comes at night will come to greet you."

Of course, you can find Midsummer dresses and outfits suitable for Midsummer from us; here's our favorite: above, a photo of Neo Noir's new pants and kimono, the latest additions to our store.
