FASHION: BABY PINK HAS A REPLACEMENT
If you recall, at one point, baby pink ruled all the it-girl outfits but it’s got quite the replacement now. Guava is making its Summer entrance as the refreshing + vibrant shade, a brighter pink with slight hints of coral. Not only is it seen more in daily wear fits but brands are also releasing newer color-ways to their pre-existing products.

CAREER: FOUR-DAY WORKWEEK PROVES TO WORK
Olipop is making time off non-negotiable this summer. As part of its new “Summer Recharge” program, the prebiotic soda brand is requiring employees to take at least one week of PTO—and is raffling off $1,000 vacation stipends to four team members each month. The goal? Prevent burnout, support work-life balance, and show that rest isn’t a luxury—it’s part of how they work.

TRAVEL: GETTING A PASSPORT HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER
The U.S. State Department has launched a fully online passport renewal system, streamlining what was once a slow and paper-heavy process. With 3 million+ users and a 94% satisfaction rate, it’s become a rare example of efficient a federal digital service (because we all know what it feels like on those websites). The program is now available nationwide for eligible adults renewing routine passports, with many receiving theirs in under two weeks.

Need a soundtrack for golden hour hangs, Aperol spritz refills, or spontaneous beach days? We’ve got you. The Summer House 2025 is the Spotify playlist with 100 songs and over five hours of feel-good energy. Think: sun-soaked beats, chill house vibes, and tracks that make you want to dance barefoot in the sand.

Press play and let the vibe set itself.

IN COLLABORATION WITH

Staple wardrobe pieces offered at a good price, without compromising the high quality…that’s the goal with Quince. The brand was started to challenge the existing idea that nice things have to cost a lot. With a simple mission to create products of equal or greater quality than the leading luxury brands, at a much lower price, they truly believe that quality should never be a luxury. Their recent summer edit has breathable silhouettes & lightweight designs.

Amazon Prime Day has officially started yesterday until July 11, and it’s the longest-running Prime event ever. That means three more days of scrolling, swiping, and saving across just about every category imaginable.

From household names like Apple, Dyson, and Levi’s to indie beauty brands and travel deals you actually want, Amazon has turned this year’s event into something closer to a shopping festival than a simple sale.

These are the Prime Day deals actually worth shopping — we’ll keep updating this article daily!

ON TRULY LIVING: To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all — Oscar Wilde

Although everyone is biologically alive, few people truly live — in a way that’s conscious, vibrant, and self-directed. Take this quote as a gentle challenge to take a step back and really analyze whether you're merely going through the motions or actually experiencing what it means to be alive.
