  • 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!

    Protéger Get Even Booster
    PRICE: $52.00

    Fashion and Accessories:

  • 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.
