HOME: HOME BUYERS ARE GETTING LUCKIER
The housing market is starting to shift in homebuyers’ favor, at least slightly. There are more homes available than there were during the peak-buying-frenzy and sellers are becoming more realistic about pricing, instead of just looking at what the average buyer is spending. It doesn’t mean things are easy, but buyers finally have a bit more breathing room than they did a year or two ago.

WELLNESS: BEST TIME TO EAT PROTEIN
There actually isn’t one perfect moment to eat protein — but timing matters more than you think. Registered dietitians say eating protein consistently throughout the day — not just dumping a giant portion at dinner — helps your body use it better, supports energy and appetite, and keeps blood sugar steadier. Protein at breakfast is especially underrated (it helps keep you full and energized early on), and including it in snacks can stop mid-afternoon hunger spikes.

FASHION: A BLAST FROM THE PAST
Winter accessories right now are taking hints from the 1960s, with pieces that feel polished and intentional, but not quite the opposite of maximalism (as we’d assume). Think of structured hats, sleek gloves, and statement scarves that finish an outfit with a flare, instead of just keeping you warm. Let this be your reminder that the smallest details can completely change how a look comes together.
