SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by JaseCaseMedical.com
If you’d like to make one big improvement to your health this year, an expert suggests this: Drink another glass of water each day. Research scientist Natalia Dmitrieva said that “Staying optimally hydrated is a relatively easy lifestyle modification with potentially significant benefit: a longer disease-free life.” How would one add this one small routine to your daily life? One way is to attach it to something you’re already doing. Try having a glass of water while waiting for your coffee or tea to brew. Or take a refillable bottle with you while you walk the dog. Science shows that drinking plenty of water can improve blood pressure, diabetes, joint, gut and kidney health, ease migraines, and boost the glow of your skin, among other benefits.

In the bioengineering department of the University of Illinois, researchers have created small “biobots,” partly out of the synthetic gel and partly out of muscle cells, that can move on their own. Whilst only a small scientific step, this is the building block for “nanotechnology” – tiny devices that could exist within the human body, freely detecting illness and administering medication.

The Producers Guild Awards nominations have been postponed from today to tomorrow. The organization said in a statement: “Due to LA County wildfires, the Producers Guild of America will be extending the voting window for the PGA Awards by 2 days until Saturday, January 11 to allow members additional time to cast their ballots. The official PGA Awards nominations will now be announced on Sunday, January 12.” This decision follows the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ extension of its Oscar nomination voting period by 2 days. The Oscars also shifted the announcement of the 97th nominations from Jan. 17 to Jan. 19.
The Critics Choice Awards, set for Sunday evening in Santa Monica, have been postponed amid devastating fires raging across the Los Angeles area. Critics Choice Association COO Joey Berlin said that further details will be forthcoming. The Critics Choice Awards are among many award-related events affected in the wake of the fires. Wednesday morning’s SAG Awards nomination live announcement was also scrapped, with the nods unveiled instead via a press release. The annual starry AFI Awards luncheon on Jan. 10 is being rescheduled, while the annual BAFTA Tea Party set for Jan. 11 in Beverly Hills will no longer take place.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
Today’s must-have accessory for many young club-goers is…earplugs. For a long time, being seen at a nightclub, concert or festival with earplugs was the pinnacle of uncool. But that attitude is now changing amid growing awareness of the risks of exposure to loud music. Earplugs have become a common sight at music venues, and some even hand them out at the door. Many people say this is thanks to Loop Earplugs, a company founded in 2016 by 2 friends who experienced tinnitus after a night out. Their idea was to market their products as “sunglasses for your ears”. They turned earplugs into jewellery-like accessories, costing far more than standard earplugs. The company has sold more than 11 million sets to date.

WHAT TO WEAR:
Those who are in the business of predicting future style trends have spent the fall collecting data on what we’ll be wearing in 2025 – or at least what those who are “style-conscious” will be wearing – and you should expect to see the return of skinny jeans! Here’s the list of 5 things that the fashion forecasters at WGSN, Heuritech and Pinterest Trends say people will be gravitating towards this year…
☞ Picture-perfect PJs: Expect to see elegant matching pajamas as traveling outfits, beach cover-ups and more. They say that sleepwear items are now seen as multi-functional items for vacationers, and this makes them a winning item in a world where luggage fees are becoming more and more expensive.
☞ Bag charms: The rise of the bag charm speaks to our current interest in personal expression and exclusivity. The small but mighty item can be very personal – and can make a great gift. For inspiration, look at Dua Lipa or Lily Allen’s carefully adorned Hermès Birkin bags.
☞ Sweet Suede: Suede has been named the top fabric of 2025 by Heuritech. By spring, we’ll see an increase in the ‘boho chic’ trend, which is all about romance and femininity. Alongside the soft tactile leather, expect to see lashings of lace and chiffon, à la the Olsen twins in the early aughts.
☞ Skinny Jeans: If you haven’t already ditched ‘em – it’s time to dig ‘em out! Actually, they expect a “slow-burn” return, and remember that, at least for the time being, wide-leg jeans remain the dominant fit.
☞ Cherry-coded: While Pantene named a shade of brown as its color of the year for 2025, fashion trends seem to indicate otherwise. On Pinterest, the search term “cherry vibe” is up 325%, and the “dark cherry red” shot up 235%. And it didn’t hurt that Tom Holland and Zendaya were seen coordinating the shade while out in New York.
