Your Couch's New Companion đď¸
plus: what your (face & ice) creams will soon be made of and more
Hi Again, weâve slightly changed our format to make it easier for you. Less to read, but lots more to learn. We hope you find it useful!
Clothes For Your Couch
Feeling a bit cold and lonely these days? Donât worry your couch is too (especially now that youâre back in the office more). To brighten things up and give your couch a dose of coziness, homeware brands and retailers are looking to make some cute and snuggly sweaters for your sofa. Enabling consumers to easily be able to refresh their furniture, while being completely customisable, itâs time for throws and from the bed-blankets to step aside as couch-clothes become your newest Netflix companions. Who knew chair-drobes could go this far?
Choose bright coloured sofa-sweaters to liven up your home and bring in some positive energy even on the gloomiest days. Since they are removable, you donât have to worry about tiring of the colour.
Digital Fashion Wants To Break Free
As young consumers seek out more personalisation, digital fashion is all set to break free from the confines of video games and become a new tool of self expression. Allowing individuals to express themselves freely (free of their physical bodies), expect more visual effects designers to find a new industry to channel their skills in as digital fashion becomes more accessible and paves the way for V-commerce.Â
If youâve always had an eye for visual effects, why not try your hand at creating some digital fashion assets of your own? Applications like Clo3d, Stylist3d and soon to launch Zero10 make this super easy.
Ube-r Cool Food & Drink
Ube is the new uber cool kid on the block. Pronounced (ooh-bay), this electrifying, luxurious purple yam has been popular in the Philippines for decades. With a sweet, earthy taste and a coconut like aroma, it has played an important role in Filipino culture (desserts especially) for years, but chefs and bartenders across the world are fascinated by its stunning colour and versatility and excited to see what the future holds for this not so humble purple relative of sweet potato. Expect to soon see Ube in everything from cocktails and waffles to ice cream and cakes.Â
Itâs also quite rich in Vitamin C, with small amounts calcium, Vitamin A & iron so makes a great guilt-free sweet treat option. And, our favourite Ube crips (super easy to make at home).
Re-tergents Are Here To Bring Your Dying Clothes To Life
Tired of having to throw your favourite clothes away after just a few years? Donât worry laundry Re-tergents are on their way to help revive, restore and give your old clothes a new lease of life. With the power to remove pilling, refresh colour, restore the shape and even renew the print, laundry Re-tergents can re-incarnate your dying garments in just one wash. Yes, just one wash.
Keep an eye out for brands like Bio-restore which are aiming to revolutionise the laundry market like never before and solve the overflowing landfills problem on a whole new level.
Oysters Are The Next Big Thing In Skincare
Oysters are all set to make waves in the skincare world. Yes you heard that right. Now you know what they mean when they say the world is your oyster. Rich in proteins, amino acids, minerals and vitamins, oysters have the ability to boost radiance, improve skin-firmness and even fight several signs of aging, all while keeping the skin perfectly hydrated and healthy. Expect to see this unusual new skin-care superstar in serums, masks and moisturisers and glimpses of the shell in exfoliating body polishing scrubs and soaps.Â
Oysters are also very rich in Zinc & Collagen, so regular use will result in a matte-fied complexion and soft, supple skin. Just some secret pearls of skin-wisdom we wanted to share ;).
