1 SOFT LIVING
TikTok is rife with wellness trends, and the start of the year is when they really flourish. From the space that gave you #hotgirlwalk and #pilatesprincess, get ready for #softlife. Coined by Black female influencers, it's about slowing down and doing less. As Lady Stargazer puts it, "Healing seems to be the key to unlocking a soft lifestyle. It allows us to be gentle with ourselves and others, and allows us to recharge so we can breathe it into our friends, families, hobbies and passions. It's about saying no to over-committing yourself, taking some time for self-care and prioritizing rest and relaxation. Are you ready to enter your soft era?
2 CIRCADIAN CYCLE
Imagine waking every single morning without the cement-eyed struggle or hitting snooze 12 times. It's possible but it requires resetting your circadian rhythm. This naturally occurring internal process regulates cycles of alertness and sleepiness. It can be regulated with a few simple life changes: avoid artificial light exposure before bed, go outside when the sun's out, limit caffeine and alcohol intake, get enough exercise, and most importantly follow a consistent sleep schedule in the morning and at night. Given that sleep plays an essential role in our overall well-being, the positives outweigh the absence of your Sunday morning sleep-ins.
3 AT-HOME DAY SPAS
It started in lockdown and it's here to stay. With at-home DIY spa treatments on the rise think new-tech hair removal, LED masks, micro-needling, dermaplaning and hot and cold facials - self-care has levelled up. Whether it's been a long week at work and you're not in the mood to leave the house, or you need a little upkeep between day-spa appointments, 2023 will see a rise in advanced at-home face and body treatments previously available only in salon. If you're a beauty aficionado, this trend is for you.
