WORK LIFE: VIRTUAL MEETINGS ARE KILLING THE VIBE
Priya Parker, author of "The Art of Gathering," firmly believes in transformation of workplaces amidst hybrid and virtual meetings. She emphasizes the loss of non-verbal cues in virtual meetings and wants to focus on strategies like spontaneous breakout rooms/chat roulette, and meaningful in-person gatherings with a focus on quality over lavishness.

FASHION: HOW TO DRESS FOR FAKE SPRING
The key to dressing for this transitional season is layering ā€“ think dresses with cardigans, tights under skirts, and a statement coat over your favorite new piece. Start with a monochromatic "groutfit" featuring tailored grays for a chic, put-together look. Or, pair a t-shirt dress with an oversized leather bomber for spontaneous weekend adventures. And when heading out for coffee, layer a sheer turtleneck under a puffer coat ā€“ you'll be ready for sunshine or snowflakes!

WELLNESS: COLOSTRUM IS THE INGREDIENT THAT A-LISTERS LOVE
Sofia Richieā€™s new sweet cherry smoothie at Erewhon has colostrum from dairy cows, which can boost immunity and gut health. Colostrum is the first milk produced by mammals after giving birth (yes us humans too!). Internet searches for "colostrum powder" have gone up 70% recently due to such interest in the entire idea.

Clementine's been through some serious sh*t, so she made a plan to protect her heart - work hard, find a decent guy, and always chase her dreams, just like her aunt said. For a year, things are kosher, until she meets this southern charmer standing in her aunt's kitchen...from 7 years in the past! Her aunt always warned that the apartment was a time warp, and if Clementine lets herself fall for this guy, she's headed for heartbreak city because love ain't about time, it's about timing.

ON VISUALIZATION: "Look at things not as they are, but as they can be. Visualization adds value to everything. A big thinker always visualizes what can be done in the future. He isn't stuck with the present." - David J. Schwartz

Visualization is like a superpower for unlocking your full potential. When you take the time to vividly imagine your goals and dreams as if they're already a reality, it kickstarts your brain into really believing they can happen. You get to envision exactly how you'll look, feel, and move through the world once you've achieved what you're after. That vivid mental image becomes a guiding light that pulls you forward. That's the key - visualizing isn't just aimless daydreaming. It's purposefully imprinting your future vision so you can start operating from that mindset now.

Set aside 5-10 minutes each day to just breathe, clear your mind, and then picture your biggest dreams in crystal clear detail. See it, feel it, hear it, taste it - make it as multi-sensory as possible. The more real it feels, the more you'll internalize it as inevitable.

šŸ§“dresses and sleeveless tops are around the corner, so working on clear & bright skin is for now!

šŸ“šcoffee table books are always in, why not get custom ones with your memories inside?
