LIFESTYLE: WHAT THE YEAR OF THE FIRE HORSE MEANS
Year of the Fire Horse (2026) is all about momentum—bold moves, faster timelines, and finally acting on the clarity you’ve been sitting with. It’s a high-energy, opportunity-filled year that rewards action over overthinking, but the key is pacing yourself: steady movement beats burnout. Go after what you want, just don’t confuse nonstop busyness with real progress.

BEAUTY: IF YOU’VE CONSIDERED A FACIAL
Facials aren’t really about the “big reveal before an event” anymore. More people are treating them like upkeep + necessity, essentially something to do routinely to keep your skin balanced, calm, and actually functioning well. It’s less about dramatic before-and-afters and more about finding treatments that quietly fit into your routine and pay off over time. The shift feels refreshingly practical, especially in a beauty culture that’s embracing maintenance over miracles.

BUSINESS: AMAZON LAUNCHING IT’S LARGEST STORE EVER
Amazon is going bigger with a massive 230,000-square-foot store outside Chicago that doubles as a grocery-filled retail space and a fulfillment hub—basically a Costco, Target, and warehouse rolled into one. While most commercial construction is slowing, one thing is booming: data centers. Tech giants like Amazon and Google are still pouring billions into AI-powered infrastructure.
