WELLNESS: DON’T NEGLECT THIS NUTRIENT
As you age don’t forget about your protein, because it seriously plays a major role in long-term health. Consistently getting enough supports your muscle mass, metabolism, and overall strength (plus, helps you avoid osteoporosis). Social media trends can get overwhelming and if you recall, protein was the it-girl focus of 2025. So it’s less about chasing these trends and more about making protein a steady, non-negotiable part of your routine.

FASHION: THESE JEANS ARE HAVING A MOMENT
Brown jeans are having a moment and when styled right, they can feel super chic and give you the “not trying too hard” look. The secret to styling them is contrast; grounding the earthy tone with crisp tailoring, modern knits, and/or sleek accessories so the look is intentional. Consider them the new neutral because they’re more versatile than you may think.

LIFESTYLE: WHAT TIME SHOULD YOU WAKE UP
The 5 a.m. wake-up sounds aspirational, but sleep experts say it’s a fast track to burnout if you’re not naturally wired for it. Your ideal wake-up time depends on your chronotype, and forcing yourself to rise too early can backfire with poor sleep, low energy, and mood dips.

Aspire with Emma Grede featuring James Clear is the kind of episode you save, re-listen to, and apply to your life. They break down why real change doesn’t come from motivation or dramatic resets, but from tiny, repeatable habits that compound over time (hello, the 1% rule). If you’re craving a practical reset for the new year—focused on identity, systems, and doing the next right thing—this one’s a must-listen.

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA

EAT: Lunch al fresco at Sant Ambroeus Palm Beach (the people-watching is elite), grab seafood at Buccan, and don’t skip a sunset drink at Flagler Steakhouse

STAY: Book a night (or three) at The Breakers Palm Beach for iconic ocean views and classic resort energy, or go boutique at The Colony Hotel for pastel perfection and a central location.

DO: Stroll Worth Avenue for shopping and architecture, bike the Lake Trail for breezy views, and spend an unbothered afternoon on the beach. If you’re craving culture, pop into the Norton Museum of Art—it’s worth crossing the bridge.
