FASHION: BAMBI PRINT IS REPLACING LEOPARD/CHEETAH
Deer print, or “bambi print” is this season’s big animal-pattern shift. It’s taking over runways and street style as a fresh alternative to leopard and zebra. Fashion houses like Tory Burch and SRG (Sofia Richie Grainge’s line) introduced coats and dresses in the spotted motif, and accessories across categories have followed the wave too. The print’s appeal is credited to its whimsical yet calm imagery which makes it surprisingly wearable as both a statement piece and a subtle update.
BUSINESS: PERELEL SECURES $27M TO FUEL GROWTH
Perelel just secured a $27M investment to supercharge its mission of reinventing women’s health — and honestly, it makes sense. The doctor-founded supplement brand has doubled revenue year-over-year, built subscriber retention, and expanded far beyond pregnancy into every stage of hormonal life. With Prelude Growth Partners now on board, Perelel is gearing up to become the trusted leader in a wellness category crowded with influencer noise and questionable claims.
WELLNESS: CHANGE YOUR DINNER TIME
As daylight shortens in winter, your body’s internal clock, AKA the circadian rhythm, shifts. This means that when you eat dinner can affect digestion, sleep, and your metabolic health, and yes even the one hour of daylight savings adds to it. Having your last meal earlier (around 5-6 p.m) and not consuming anything within a 3-4 hour range of bedtime is suggested.
If you’ve ever had a business idea strike in the shower, during your commute, or while doomscrolling at 11 p.m., this episode of Aspire with Emma Grede is your sign to finally sanity-check it. Emma breaks down how to figure out whether your idea actually solves a real problem (and why that’s the only reason anyone will care), how to define who you’re building for, and the big one: whether you’re truly willing to pour in the time, grit, and energy it takes to bring it to life.
This is required listening for anyone flirting with their next big thing.

Most skincare routines stop at the jawline, leaving the rest of your body feeling… neglected. But with a few simple swaps, your post-shower rush can turn into a full-on self-care ritual — same ingredients, same glow, just a lot more surface area. Think of it as giving the rest of your skin the love it’s been quietly waiting for.
ON ADOPTING A PACE: Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
The natural world works on its own quiet, steady timeline. Seasons change, growth happens, and life unfolds without rushing. To “adopt the pace of nature” means to step out of urgency and into trust: trust that progress doesn’t have to be frantic, and that meaningful things take time.
VANCOUVER
EAT: Vancouver knows how to feed you well. Swing by Miku for its famous flame-seared sushi, and don’t miss a warm, gooey pastry from Purebread (the butter blocks here are practically a love language). For food that tastes insanely fresh because of it’s ingredients, consider Farmer’s Apprentice for dinner.
STAY: For a chic-but-cozy stay, the Loden Hotel is a favorite — quiet, stylish, and close to everything. If you want polished luxury, Fairmont Pacific Rim gives you postcard views with a side of impeccable service. And for something more intimate and artsy, the Opus Hotel in Yaletown nails the boutique vibe without trying too hard.
DO: This city is basically nature’s reel. Stroll (or bike) around Stanley Park’s seawall, wander through the charming streets of Gastown, and take the Aquabus to Granville Island for local art, food, and peak “I could live here…” energy. If you’re feeling adventurous, head up to Grouse Mountain for the views — gondola strongly recommended unless you really want to sweat.
