From being a relatively unknown topic, it seems now that everyone knows about fermented foods and the best ways to keep your gut microbiome healthy. But this health topic isn’t going anywhere in 2024, in fact, it’s about to become even bigger news. Want to know why? Here are some of the reasons why it’s sticking around as a trending healthcare topic.
Personalized Healthcare
We are entering an era of personalized healthcare, and doctors hope that soon everything from diet to medication can be adapted and changed to suit the needs of an individual. Nowhere is this more true than your gut microbiome—experts have discovered that whilst some advice is true for everyone (eat your greens), people’s guts can react very differently to the same foods and diets. For this reason, more and more of us will be seeking the services of personalized dieticians and gut monitoring devices in 2024, as the technology becomes available for us to track and monitor how different foods influence and impact our bodies.
The Gut-Brain Axis
There is an increasing body of research on the links between gut and brain health, and in 2024 even more work will be done to discover the ways in which diet can affect mood and cognitive processing. This is huge news for anyone who suffers from anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues because it offers hope that finding the right diet could have a significant impact on mental health symptoms.
Pinpoint Nutrition
As technology and monitoring develop, we will be able to pinpoint the areas of nutrition we are lacking in and adapt our diets or supplement intake accordingly. This will have huge implications for our overall health, but especially our digestive health. It has also got fitness experts excited, as with better nutrition comes more gains on the track or in the gym.

Celebrities are endorsing the trend, and it’s trickling down to the high street too, with more and more women carrying suitcase-sized handbags on their arms. Whether you love or loathe this trend, here are three reasons why it’s here to stay.
Trend Shift
For a while now, the buzzwords in fashion circles have been ‘quiet luxury’, and style icons such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Hayley Bieber, and the character Shiv in Succession have been touted as examples of the wealthy, elite style. Now, there is some pushback against this trend in some fashion circles, with some brands seeking to dress their models in louder, bolder styles. The return to oversized bags can be seen as part of this pushback, as brands reject the neat, manicured style of quiet luxury and make statements with brighter, bigger looks.
More For Your Money
Put simply, an oversized or a large handbag, offers better value for money than a micro bag which fits lipstick and your keys. For those of us investing in luxury handbags, bigger means better, as forking out several hundreds of dollars on something which is too small to carry anything useful can feel pointless.
A Practical Purse
On nights out and for evening events, microbags are cute and appropriate. At any other time, it’s likely that you’ll need to carry far more than you can fit in that tiny purse, which is where the trend for oversized bags comes in. Fashion is recognizing reality for once, as most women are on their feet at work all day and need to carry water, a diary, a laptop, a wallet, and who knows what else. This trend is therefore a rare example of fashion matching reality, so embrace it while it lasts and grab yourself the biggest tote you can find!

This can be extended to our jewelry boxes, and with Christmas fast approaching, now is the time to amp up your jewelry styling. This season, jewelry stacking will be big news, and the chances are you already own the pieces that are key to this trend. Check out this advice on how to nail this look and make the most of your bling.
Rings
Jewelry stacking is basically about combining bright, beautiful jewels in as many colors and combinations as you can find. When it comes to rings, think about comfort and practicality—if you can’t move your hands, take some of the rings off and try again. Look for big, beautiful cocktail rings and combine these with slimmer bands to create a nice contrast across your fingers.
Bracelets
Mixing and matching slim chains with chunkier arm jewels can create a stunning contrast and really bring your look together. Don’t be afraid to mix and match gold and silver if you like the two-toned look, or opt for a single shade to maximize this look.
Necklaces
Combining one or two chains has been in for a while now, but as it’s party season feel free to push the boat out and layer up three or more. Again, opt for some contrast to really pull the look off—some jewels mixed in with plain chains will set the right note.

Hand lettering is attractive and can be applied in many situations. Unlike all the things digital, it has a relaxing power and is a great tool for unwinding after a long day. Lettering is readable art, where the artist creates her favorite words, sentences or quotes in a variety of styles that look gorgeous.
Though lettering is a great anti-stress practice, the very beginning can be overwhelming. If you want to give it a try, start small. Find your favorite artists to follow on social media and learn from them. The most important thing – do the work. As you practice, you will naturally get better. It can be a pretty awesome skill to have!
