Gifts for the Year Ahead: Thoughtful New Year Presents That Set the Tone for What’s Next

The New Year has a way of inviting reflection and intention. Beyond celebration, it marks a quiet pause where we look ahead and decide how we want the months to unfold. New Year gifting, then, becomes less about festivity and more about meaning. It is no longer about extravagant gestures, but about thoughtful presents that support new beginnings, healthier routines, shared goals, and everyday joy. From wellness and beauty investments to home upgrades, travel companions, and experiences meant to be lived rather than stored away, New Year gifts are increasingly chosen with purpose. These are presents that say “I see where you’re headed” rather than “I remembered the date”. In many ways, they become gentle reminders of intention, progress, and care as the year begins. Maje R...

The Scary Truth Behind Wedding Accidents And How to Avoid Becoming a Headline

Weddings are meant to be remembered for joy, celebration, and love. Yet in recent years, an increasing number of wedding-related accidents have made headlines for all the wrong reasons.

What is most unsettling is that many of these incidents are preventable. As weddings grow larger, more elaborate, and more experiential, safety has quietly become one of the most overlooked aspects of planning. In the pursuit of aesthetics and scale, basic protocols are often ignored until something goes wrong. The reality is simple: a wedding without adequate safety planning can quickly turn into a crisis.
