WELLNESS: HORMONES ARE THE CURRENT OBSESSION
Hormone health has become wellness’s new obsession — and women are ditching the pill in favor of “natural balance” regimens involving supplements, blood tests, and clean living. Across TikTok, creators are swapping polyester for organic cotton, trading cold plunges for cycle syncing, and treating cortisol like the new villain. While experts warn there’s no such thing as perfectly balanced hormones, the craze proves one thing: women are done settling for surface-level answers when it comes to their bodies.

FASHION: SKI TRIP ESSENTIALS
Whether you’re carving black diamonds or just there for the après ski, dressing for the slopes is an art — equal parts warmth, performance, and main character energy. Editors with years on the mountain say the secret is layering: think luxe base layers, cozy knits, and a waterproof jacket that actually keeps up. And when it’s time to trade ski boots for bubbly? Swap your thermals for faux fur and call it slope-side chic.

LIFESTYLE: THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE BIRD THEORY
Turns out that viral “I saw a bird today” moment you keep seeing on TikTok isn’t just a quirky trend…it’s actually rooted in solid relationship research. The idea is simple: making a small comment and seeing whether your partner responds with interest or indifference reveals how well they’re tuned into your world. It’s also a gentle reminder that feeling heard everyday for the small things may matter more than dramatic gestures.

If a thriller is what you’re in the mood for, this needs to be the one you watch. A journalist gets invited to cover a get-together on a lavish yacht, living like the top 1% do. Not only does she already stand out, but when she sees a passenger go overboard that apparently never existed…she loses it and feels like theres a bigger plot on hand. No one believes her and she risks her life to uncover the truth.
