LIFESTYLE: HOW TO BE A SOCIAL INTROVERT
Turns out, you can still be an introvert — just tweak how you connect. Experts say it’s about finding your own social rhythm: send the first invite, start small (even online counts), and choose settings that actually energize you, not drain you. Think of it less as “becoming an extrovert” and more as building your own version of connection that feels good — no personality overhaul required.

FASHION: NOW IS THE TIME TO GET BROWN DENIM
Brown is officially the new blue — at least when it comes to denim. This fall’s breakout trend, brown jeans, are giving classic blue washes a stylish upgrade, pairing perfectly with everything from crisp white tees to butter-yellow knits and teddy coats. Think of them as your neutral hero piece: chic, unexpected, and effortlessly autumn-coded.

WELLNESS: THIS MIXTURE CAN HELP EASE DISCOMFORT
If you deal with constipation, acid reflux, or digestive issues, we may have a one-stop-shop (or should we say, mixture) solution. One teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in water can potentially ease any discomfort from these issues. A lot of these issues stem from your bodily environment being too acidic, and baking soda is a basic element to combat that.

You know those songs you hear in the background while watching a show and immediately type the lyrics into your search bar or ask Siri to “name that tune”, this is one of those. Complete 70’s vibes & if you watched the Lincoln Lawyer, it’ll give you a visual of the scenes!

ON APPRECIATION: Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing. — Harper Lee

We often take the things we love most for granted until we realize we could lose them. It’s only when we imagine life without it that we realize how deeply it’s woven into who we are.

SOHO, NEW YORK

EAT: If you want the cutest French aesthetic, you have to visit Maman. Not only is the food bursting with flavor but it’s got fun interior that brings a bit of the outdoor greenery, inside. It’s a cafe that is comfortable for a sit down meal but definitely gets packed for take out during lunch time. For more of an upscale dining experience, you can’t skip MAMO. It’s a cozy environment with a decadent Italian menu, and a tiramisu dessert as big as your face! PS - if Carbone has been on your list, but you’ve been unsuccessful at getting reservations, you have to consider MAMO.

STAY: If character filled hotels with cozy rooms are your vibe, you absolutely need to consider Arlo Soho. It’s in the heart of the area with modern rooms, great amenities, and large floor to ceiling windows, each giving you quite the view of the concrete jungle. For a splurge-worthy option, check out The Dominick, can you say hi luxury! It’s the only independent hotel in NY with the exclusive Five Diamond accolade from AAA, and one of three premier hotels in New York City prestigious enough to be a part of the Preferred Hotel & Resorts’ Legend Collection.

DO: Alongside the iconic Museum of Ice Cream + The Color Factory, SOHO is known for the luxury shopping, chain store locations, & museums (art, fire, cultures, etc). You’ve got a plethora of options for this area!
