Dopamine Décor the “feel good” interior design trend
At the core of the feel-good interior design trend lies the incorporation of elements that bring a sense of nature indoors. Natural materials such as wood, stone, and plants are extensively used to create a connection with the outdoors and instill a feeling of serenity. The earthy textures of these materials add depth and warmth to the space, while the presence of greenery promotes a sense of rejuvenation. Soft, soothing colors like pastels and earth tones are favored in this trend for their calming effect on the mind. Natural light and open spaces enhance the airiness and tranquility of the environment, allowing for a seamless flow of energy throughout the room.
Wellness Travel Trends
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in interest in wellness retreats and a demand for unique outdoor destinations that go beyond the typical beach and mountain settings. Travelers are seeking experiences that cater to their emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being. This trend has resulted in the emergence of destinations and retreats specifically designed to promote holistic wellness and self-care. Whether it’s biohacking beach vacations in Hawaii or intimate retreats in Spain, travelers are approaching wellness travel with a more intentional mindset than ever before.

Tomboy Femme Fashion
Comfort and style meet in a way that elevates the feminine in any scenario. It’s all about sporty or traditionally masculine ideas reinvented with feminine accessories. This could be a jersey with a skirt, a letter jacket with delicate bow earrings, or jeans and blouse. It’s about the little details, taking the retro sporty looks and making them into something softer.

Holographic Hair
Rainbow hair is still all the rage, but the nuance of the holographic hair colors makes this something to try. Much like the bright and saturated colors of the rainbow hair, holographic hair is more iridescent and subtle than full rainbow. It is made to look almost natural with a shine that is unmistakably otherworldly. When done well, it is as colorful as rainbow but faded so that it’s not as noticeable at first.
Bridgerton Tea Parties
This is all about the vibes. If you haven’t heard, Bridgerton is a Netflix original series that aired its third season from May-June 2024. The hit series is a historical fantasy, and fans are swept up into the romantic lives of the upper class of regency era England. Fans of the show have taken to watching episodes together dressed in period appropriate costumes and drinking tea (or coffee if you like that more) in the fanciest tea sets they can find. Tea parties are not just for little girls.

Mahjong
Though it was invented in 19th century China, there’s a fresh wave of players of the game. The game is like dominos or poker, because it takes both luck and skill to play. The rules are simple to learn but can take a lifetime to fully master. A unique aspect of the game is that it takes four people to play. It is good for your brain, as it helps develop better cognitive strength and memory. Find a group of friends and give it a try for yourself!
Creative Summer Foods
The best way to experience summer is experimenting with food. Maybe it’s a matter of a new shape, a new color, or a new place to go out with loved ones. Maybe try some pineapple on your pizza, a new punch recipe, or pasta in a new shape. Whatever your fancy, this is the best time to revisit the old favorites in new ways.
