🚨You corrected us! We received a few emails yesterday for a mistake we made, so wanted to thank you for being on top of it, by correcting ourselves. 2026 is the year of the fire horse, not the snake (that was 2025, whoops). Expect to be propelled into motion, harvest fruits of your labor, and feel fueled by an enigmatic energy, in the best way possible.
Thank you for reminding us that we’re human and make mistakes!

FASHION: KNITS FOR THE SEASON
Knit pants are becoming the new sweatpants—but the chic kind. The crowd is reaching for cashmere and soft knit styles that feel just as comfortable, but look a lot more intentional. These are pieces you can wear on a flight, work from home in, or run out for coffee without feeling underdressed. Paired with a matching sweater or an oversized coat, knit pants are proof that being cozy doesn’t have to mean looking sloppy.
WORK LIFE: A GLOOMY LABOR MARKET
The job market is showing clear signs of cooling down, mainly with slower hiring and more companies quietly preparing for layoffs. Employers are being cautious amongst economic uncertainty (specifically pulling back on expansion) and instead are prioritizing efficiency over growth. It seems that the mood has shifted from momentum to restraint, AKA a more competitive and unpredictable employment landscape to come.
BEAUTY: TEA FOR HORMONAL ACNE
Spearmint tea is becoming a go-to for people dealing with hormonal acne, thanks to research suggesting it may help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support clearer skin from the inside out. Drinking about two cups a day has been shown to lower androgen levels (which can drive breakouts), while its antioxidants and antimicrobial properties may help calm skin and keep acne-causing bacteria in check.

On this episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty is sitting with Nick Jonas to have an intimate conversation about identity, purpose, and the inner work that comes with growing up in the spotlight. They also cover how you can learn to quiet the inner critic (while becoming a better partner, parent, and person), maintaining faith when tested, and being open to new cultures (which Nick experienced after marrying Priyanka Chopra). You’ll also get a new take on the anxiety that comes with loving someone so deeply, and the grounding practices, movement, routine, and therapy that help Nick stay present.
