REAL ESTATE: $85M BEVERLY HILLS “SKYS THE LIMIT” COMPOUND
Villa Theos is a compound that resembles a Mediterranean village but is home to a ton of modern amenities including a nightclub! Software mogul, Jim Demetriades and his wife Nancy, have decided to put the 13 bedroom estate on the market for $85 million. Alongside the nightclub mentioned above, this property has a bowling alley with animatronics, shooting range with laser technology, and an underground man cave that doubles up as an emergency bunker (and as a bonus, has a wine cellar holding 4,500 bottles).

LIFESTYLE: BAR SOAP MEANS LUXURY
The beauty industry has taken note of this trend, with prominent brands like Glossier, Fenty Beauty, Drunk Elephant, and Nécessaire introducing their own bar soap formulations. Well-established soap companies like Caswell-Massey and Ivory continue to hold their ground. However, the driving force behind this boom can be largely credited to social media, where soap-making and ASMR videos have captivated audiences.

WORK LIFE: NEW TECH AT WORK CAN HARM STAFFS WELLBEING 
A survey conducted on 6,000 individuals supports the fact that there’s a heightening concern about the impact of new technology (such as AI and monitoring devices) on employee well-being in the workplace. Companies’ staff members, especially Gen-Z, are super bothered about the implications of AI on their jobs, critical thinking abilities, and mostly privacy. They aren’t huge fans of being watched and feel like this impacts their health and quality of work.

This playlist is a blend of sunset music, deep chill, Ibiza-inspired sounds, deep house, and chill electronic tracks. The playlist will transport you to a state of pure relaxation. Whether you're unwinding after a long day, hosting a chilled-out gathering with friends, or simply looking to set the mood for some quality "me-time," this playlist has got you covered.

ON AUTHENTICITY: "Authenticity is not something we have or don't have. It's a practice - a conscious choice of how we want to live. Authenticity demands wholehearted living and courageous choices." - JEFF BROWN

When you're staying to yourself - your core values, what you actually think and feel - that's true freedom. Authenticity allows you to be who you genuinely are, flaws and all. In return, others are able to pick up on your authenticity and will feel the need to reciprocate. Whether it's relationships, career, whatever - staying true builds trust and respect.
