  • FALL 2023 Trends on Daytime TV

    FALL 2023 Trends on Daytime TV

    Since January, I’ve been hitting events showcasing foods, fashion, and beauty “on trend” for FALL 2023. Here is what stood out. 

    Food:
    Cow’s, soy, almond, and oat milk are now yesterday’s news. We’ve got a new creamy and super yummy alternative with Macadamia Milk. 

    Milkadamia
    PRICE: $5.49 to $6.49
    SHOP: @WholeFoods
    Celebrate the coziness of Fall with Milkadamia’s deliciously made, regeneratively farmed macadamia nut milk. Only the highest quality raw, not roasted, macadamia nuts create Milkadamia’s smooth taste and milky creaminess. It’s the tastiest choice for your coffee, breakfast cereal, or superfood smoothie. You can even cook with Milkadamia this holiday season! Sweet and Savory recipes LOVE Milkadamia milks. Stir it into soup or add it to your favorite baked fall treat. It’s dairy free, soy free, GMO free, and gluten free!

    It used to be LOW CARB; now it’s LOW CARBON. 
    Meatless is still the it girl of these events, and jerky seems to be the most authentic snack of 2023. Ironically, this brand has been around for a while but is still top of the list for taste and texture.

     

    Louisville Smoky Carolina BBQ – Vegan Jerky
    PRICE: $7.50
    SHOP: @wholefoods
    The nostalgic BBQ flavor in our smoky Carolina jerky comes from the sweet and smoky goodness of authentic Carolina mustard bbq.  Our sauciest recipe yet is lip-smackingly awesome and impossible to put down.

    Beauty:
    There are so many makeup trends it’s hard to keep track for Fall. You can’t nail down one style that is more relevant than another.TikTok has really just shuffled up everything, but we can tell you clean is still supreme and also GLOSS! Layer some gorgeous gloss over that lipliner!

    Dark Spot remedies are trending globally in skincare. We took a deep dive into a few brands, and one topped our list and many editors, too. Fall is the season to banish dark spots, and “boosters” are the new way to play!

  • Trending for ALL AGES in Seattle

    Trending for ALL AGES in Seattle

    As Gen Xers reach middle age, there’s a growing investment in creating products tailored to this solution-seeking consumer. For fall, trends are shifting towards comfort, balance, and preserving youth, which ironically is also a priority for the Gen Y and Z community. Fragrance is back, and we’re seeing major upgrades to rain boots and lipgloss. Skincare is more sensitive and smarter, and menopause has taken over supplements. We head back to Seattle and the set of New Day Northwest to share some insight on what products are trending from Gen X to Z.

    Gen X ers wore a lot of cologne and perfume back in the day; a lot of it was UNISEX. Then everything simmered out with millennials and fine fragrance. Well, I don’t know if you’ve gotten a sniff, but fragrance is back. According to the top perfume hub in Seattle, A.K.A Macys, this scent designed for men still leads sales. It’s fresh, light, and popular with all ages and genders. 

    Tommy Bahama Maritime
    PRICE: $84.00
    SHOP: @Macys
    Drawing inspiration from the pleasure of sailing, MARITIME is an ode to the dynamism and power of the sea. A fresh, invigorating fragrance for the spirited explorer, this fragrance blends aromatic botanicals with intriguing complexity for a scent that evokes warm trade winds over crystal-clear waters. Tommy Bahama Maritime is an invigorating scent that layers herbaceous notes over sandalwood, musk, moss, and ambergris. It’s an intriguing fragrance with a fresh, warm scent for the spirited explorer.

    Every decade, our skin takes on a new challenge, and I’ve never met anyone who has looked in the mirror and thought I wish I looked older after 30. Whether it’s hormonal acne or menopause, chances are you’ve used Cetaphil to aid your sensitive skin. Now, the brand has just launched its first-ever collection of anti-aging products. THEY ARE PHENOMENAL! 

    Cetaphil Healthy Renew Face Serum
    PRICE: $22.99
    SHOP: @Target
    Navigating physical signs of aging with sensitive skin can be a challenge, as common ingredients like Retinol can be too harsh for sensitive skin. This is why Cetaphil created their first anti-aging line, Healthy Renew. The entire line harnesses Retinol alternative, Purified Peptides, to deliver clinically proven results, helping to defend against visible signs of aging, while being gentle enough for sensitive skin. The Healthy Renew Face Serum absorbs quickly and visibly improves skin’s firmness, texture, and tone while boosting skin’s luminosity and hydrating for 24 hours.

    LIPGLOSS is here to stay for another season, with everyone from teens to grandmas rejoicing. Leave the lip oils to the youth (they have time to reapply all day), and if you’re 30 and up, look for a gloss with benefits. This clear gloss is soothing, lightweight, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. OH, and it has a non-sting-y Atelcollagen complex to help lips firm and plump. Yep, it’s amazing. 

    Theraderm Lip Complex
    PRICE: $31.50
    SHOP: @Amazon
    This daily lip treatment contains a peptide designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around lips, while Atelcollagen increases lip volume without unpleasant stinging. Infused with soothing avocado oil and vitamin E, this product helps hydrate and rejuvenate for smooth, luscious lips.

    Shifting gears to fashion, we all love a fabulous rain boot, but these by Merry People are all the rage right now. They’re designed for an active lifestyle and built for an eco-minded consumer who prioritizes comfort and style. I mean, that covers any age. Even my 4-year-old. 

    Merry People Rain Boots (Bobbi style featured)
    PRICE: $129.95
    SHOP: @us.merrypeople.com

    The perfect everyday rain boot. The Bobbi seamlessly blends fashion and function with natural rubber and a neoprene lining. Our best-selling boots are designed for utmost comfort. Easy to dress up or down, wear from day to night, the Bobbi comes in a range of colors to match your style and individuality.


    And yes, last but not least, we’ve seen the growth of holistic health in everything from sleep gummies to hair vitamins over the years. The industry really made a shift in 2023, and thank goodness for us Gen Xers. Peri and Menopause products are now the fastest-growing investment in everything from skincare to supplements, and this brand has been leading the wave with safe and effective products since 2014. Plus, they are affordable. 

    pH-D® Feminine Health Holistic Menopause Support
    PRICE: $29.99

  • Clean Beauty Favorites on New Day Northwest

    Clean Beauty Favorites on New Day Northwest

    A shift towards cleaner and greener products is taking center stage in the evolving beauty world. From the meticulous crafting of formulations to the sustainable innovation in packaging, every aspect is now under scrutiny and conscious consideration. Today, we’re back in Seattle on New Day Northwest to share the latest finds and show what makes them stand out as exceptional gems in the clean beauty mega sphere.

    Garnier has stood out for over a decade as a maverick in cleaning up all aspects of their products. These shampoo bars are brilliant. They create shine and are easy to use and rinse. Plus, they are clean and green from formulation to packaging and are even 97% Biodegradable. 

    Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo Bars   
    PRICE: $8.99

    Garnier is Approved by Cruelty-Free International – Garnier is committed to creating a world where no animals suffer in a laboratory.

    Another brand you’ll want to take to the shower is EC30. 

    EC30 Clean Body Wash

    SHOP: @EC30Clean.com

    *Fluffy bubbles lather at your fingertips.

    If you haven’t heard of this next product, I’ll catch you up. Editors tout this cream by Comfort Zone as being better than LeMer and as clean as a product can be.

    Comfort Zone HYDRAMEMORY RICH SORBET CREAM
    PRICE: $71
    SHOP: @amazon
    Vegan formula that is enriched with SKIN-ADAPTIVE HYDRATION technology: Prickly Pear Extract from regenerative organic agriculture and Macro Hyaluronic Acid,, combined with biomimetic sorbet texture, gives comfort and intense hydration to the skin, which is immediately softer, smoother and more radiant. Its refillable packaging is a sustainable solution to reduce the use of materials and CO2 emissions. Contains 98,4% natural-origin ingredients

    Recently, in my editor community, there’s been a lot of pushback on which lash serums actually work and which are meh. As someone who religiously applies one at night, I was surprised to find out that many of the products on the market are merely an oil derivative, and some of the ingredients are not even suitable for the eyes. I can attest, and many a TikToker that Nulastin works and the formula is clean. I haven’t tried the brow serum out yet, but it’s also a fan favorite. 

    NULASTIN® LASH and BROW Dual System with Elastaplex®
    PRICE: $139
    SHOP: @nulastin.com 
    Notice up to 60% longer-looking lashes & 120% fuller-looking brows. If you have short, thin lashes or sparse brows, our proven LASH & BROW Dual System with Elastaplex® Technology visibly boosts the length and density of eyelashes and eyebrows — regardless of your age, gender, or health. Made with skin-safe, ethically sourced, naturally derived ingredients and backed by five issued U.S. patents, our groundbreaking formulas have been proven to support the body’s natural ability to stimulate the replenishment of elastin. In a 12-week clinical evaluation, participants experienced up to 60% longer-looking eyelashes and up to 120% fuller-looking eyebrows.

    I was sent Naked Sundays to review while I was in Florida. So, let’s say I really got to test out the SPF aspects of the brand, but I also loved the makeup. Because the product is so clean, I didn’t hesitate to use the blush sticks on my young nieces. I think we will be seeing a lot more from this brand.  

    Naked Sundays SPF50 Sheer Glow Balm Sticks Trio
    PRICE: $55
    SHOP: @NakedSundays.com
    Makeup meets SPF with these multi-tasking mineral SPF sheer makeup sticks Trio includes three shades: Rosé, Champagne, and Espresso Martini – a rosy pink, a shimmering highlighter, and a subtle bronze that can be used as blush, highlighter, eye shadow base, lip color, and contour  To use, apply your usual SPF onto your clean face. Then, swipe balms onto cheeks, lips, and eyelids for layered SPF

    Skin cycling, flooding, and cleansing are the biggest TikTok stars for the face right now. Epicutis launched this celebrity-adorned cleansing set, and it was gone in a flash. Good news, she’s back in stock!

    Epicutis Cleansing Essentials Set
    PRICE: $95
    SHOP: @epicutis.com
    Redefine how you clean your skin by using gentle yet effective oils to remove unwanted dirt, makeup, and oil without stripping your skin of what it needs. This set contains: Epicutis Cleansing Oil- This oil cleanser forms micelles around the materials you wish to wash away, such as dirt, makeup, oils, etc. These micelles encapsulate them allowing these unwanted materials to wash off with just water. Enzyme Exfoliating Powder – Rather than using microbeads or acids, this exfoliator harnesses the activity of natural enzymes to help gently break down dead skin cells and excess oils to boost turnover. Natural enzymes Protease and Lipase work to boost natural turnover, while Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate aids in gently cleansing the skin without stripping away essential moisturization. The Epicutis difference: Typical cleansers create these micelles but use detergents that can break down our skin barrier and cause irritation.

    And, if you haven’t heard the term bio-hacking, you must be unplugged. HigherDose has been leading the way in glam-detoxing, and this Infrared Blanket is their biggest star! 

    HIGHERDOSE INFRARED SAUNA BLANKET
    PRICE: $699
    SHOP: @higherdose.com
    The original at-home infrared device, the Infrared Sauna Blanket, detoxifies the body, relaxes the mind, boosts your mood, promotes glowing skin, and stokes a healthy DOSE of your brain’s feel-good chemicals. Potential benefits include Improved Skin Health & Glow: Infrared, which increases your body’s core temperature over time, and helps push deeply-embedded impurities and toxins out of the skin to aid in acne reduction. The technology can also stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and enhance your glow, giving you a more youthful complexion with continued use. Mood-Boosting Benefits: Just like the sun, infrared rays release natural yet effective doses of serotonin, endorphins, and dynorphins within the body to get you “high” naturally. The use of infrared also lowers the stress hormone cortisol to help you feel less anxious, allowing you to relax and fall asleep more easily. Put your body into a state of healing while releasing endorphins and dynorphins to get you “high” naturally.
