The Power Goods 👠

Algae Oil is the Hot New Chef's Secret 🌿

Think algae, and you might envision a gloomy pond. But hold onto your aprons—Algae Cooking Club is stirring up the culinary world with Algae Oil for cooking! They have teamed up with one of the culinary greats, Chef Daniel Humm of New York’s Eleven Madison Park. And he’s turning up the heat and frying with it! "It's very pure, so no burnt or 'off' flavors even at high heats," says Humm, already a convert.

This oil is produced not in fields but in fermentation tanks, bubbling with yeast and sugar. With a smoke point of 535 degrees, algae oil out-sizzles both olive and avocado oils, making it a champion for high-heat cooking. Plus, it's rich in omega-9 fatty acids, known for fighting inflammation.

Algae, a powerhouse of vitamins and healthy fats, is already a star in products from supplements to skincare. So, ready to add it to your food too?

Rhode to Beauty: Hailey Bieber Skincare 👄

Are you also over celebs turning into overnight beauty gurus? Yeah, same here. But Hailey Bieber's Rhode? It’s turning out to be kind of a big deal... 😏

First, the brand's motto is "One of Everything, Really Good", which is how I order at a restaurant. And she has produced only five items focused on face and lips.

Here is what’s on the menu - A Pineapple Cleanser 🍍, Glazing Milk, Glazing Fluid Serum, Moisturizer, and the show-stopper: a Peptide Lip Treatment, which is pretty much a cult at this point. The best part? You won’t have to sell a kidney to afford Bieber’s products, she has been mindful of the cost. And they all come in this neat little Rhode kit —perfect for gifting or treating yourself 💖. By the way, if you do fall in love with the lip treatment, then you will want to get this viral phone case next (which is already sold out)!

Happy pouting!

Travel and Chill 🐢

Au revoir revenge travel. Tranquil travel is ready to take off.

Post covid style aggressive travel where you felt like you needed a vacation from your vacation is out. Chill, slow and relaxed travel is in. Travelers are spending their vacation bird watching as they got more appreciation for the outdoors during Covid. Sleep retreats are taking off and the idea of "I'll sleep when I'm dead", is well, dead. Sleep is the Top Travel Trend of 2024 and that's the pitch many hotels are making to their guests - get a great night's rest.

Slow travel is another way of traveling that's making the rounds - it means taking your time exploring a place without feeling the need to rush through an itinerary and checking as many boxes as possible. FOMO traveling is waning and Insta-famous spots are getting the cold shoulder. There is a swing to the opposite side, where people want no planning at all and are booking surprise trips via places such as Black Tomato - whose Get Lost service offers customers the ability to simply select a preferred environment—polar, jungle, desert, mountain, or coastal—and leave its team to decide everything else. Travelers are even skipping big crowded cities like Paris, Rome and Tokyo and opting for smaller towns.
