WELLNESS: JANUARY’S NEW MOON & IT’S ENERGY
January’s new moon is the universe telling you to soften your grip. As ambitious Capricorn energy meets emotional, home-loving Cancer, you might feel a little head-vs-heart tension—but that’s the point: it’s a reminder that real progress comes from balancing doing with feeling. Let go of what’s forcing itself, trust what’s nudging you forward, and remember that slowing down can be just as powerful as pushing ahead.
BEAUTY: HAILEY BIEBER BROUGHT BACK THESE NAILS
Hailey Bieber’s latest nail moment proves that the most chic manicures right now are the most adaptable; neutral shades with a hint of pink, designed to work with everything. The appeal is versatility in a world where that’s difficult to achieve, so think clean silhouettes, soft tones, and a polished finish that feels intentional without being fussy. It’s a reminder that low-maintenance beauty (when done well) can look quite luxurious.
LIFESTYLE: WHAT HAPPENED TO HAPPY HOUR?
Happy hour isn’t dead, but it’s definitely on a diet. Between remote work and people drinking less, the post-work drink with coworkers has been replaced by run clubs, early log-offs, or nothing at all—leaving younger workers missing out on casual networking and socializing! That said, in-office drinks, early-bird happy hours, and certain industries (hello, publishing) are keeping the ritual alive.
In this episode of the Mel Robbins Podcast, Dr. Vonda Wright, MD, will give you the wakeup call of a lifetime; one that will teach you how to look, feel, and stay young forever. Dr. Wright is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon and one of the world’s leading experts on mobility, musculoskeletal aging, and longevity. You’ll learn: Why everything you’ve been told about aging is a lie, how you can be stronger, healthier, and more energized at any age, why women are often misled about aging, and how to take control of your health before it’s too late.

DENVER, COLORADO
EAT: Denver’s food scene is refined without trying too hard. For something buzzy yet polished, try Tavernetta. They have modern Italian dishes with great service and a chic, design-forward dining room that feels very “in the know”. If you’re craving something intimate and ingredient-driven, Bruto is known for its hyper-seasonal tasting menus, warm hospitality, and a cozy setting that feels special without being stiff.
STAY: For a stay that feels equal parts classic and cool, The Crawford Hotel is the obvious choice. It’s set inside Union Station with luxe rooms, unbeatable walkability, and a distinctly Denver sense of place. If boutique is more your speed, Clayton Hotel & Members Club has European-inspired interiors, a rooftop pool, and a social scene that feels exclusive but not intimidating.
DO: If it’s your first time, or even your fifth, wandering the galleries and sculpture garden at Denver Art Museum is a must. The architecture alone is worth the visit! For a slower, more scenic afternoon, stroll through Denver Botanic Gardens, where curated landscapes, seasonal blooms, and peaceful paths allow you to experience a refreshing escape from the city’s buzz.
