Restaurant Trends coming in 2026
Freaky Caesar Salads - All sorts of strange additions, like smoked salmon and potato chips, nori, and a "showering of Goldfish straight from the bag.”
The Hot Dog - The Sea Dog (yeah, a fish cake), Wagyu beef hot dogs.
There's a steakhouse where you pick your steak knife, and a mini cleaver is an option. Even the to-go's are gonna be flashy; one looks like a glamorous tinfoil handbag.

Searches for Soft Living are on the rise. The Lifestyle Shift That’s Changing Everything
Soft living is a lifestyle rooted in intentionality, mindfulness, and self-compassion. By embracing this approach, you can experience reduced anxiety, improved mental clarity, deeper emotional connection, and a greater sense of fulfillment in your daily life. It’s about slowing down, embracing ease, and designing a life that prioritizes peace over pressure.
How to Embrace Soft Living in Your Daily Life
Here are simple, practical ways to shift into soft living:
1. Slow Down Your Mornings – Start your day with intention. Swap scrolling for journaling, meditation, or simply enjoying your coffee without distractions.
2. Curate a Soft-Living Environment – Surround yourself with soothing textures, calming scents, and a clutter-free space that brings you peace.
3. Prioritize Rest & Recovery – Normalize taking breaks, setting boundaries, and choosing rest without guilt.
4. Practice Intentional Consumption – From mindful shopping to savoring nourishing meals, make choices that align with a soft and sustainable lifestyle.
5. Engage in Soulful Rituals – Light a candle, sip herbal tea, take evening walks, or indulge in a slow skincare routine.
6. Wear What Feels Good – Choose loungewear that embodies comfort and ease, allowing you to move through the day effortlessly.
The Soft Living Aesthetic: A Visual & Sensory Experience
Soft living is more than a mindset—it’s an aesthetic. From earthy tones and cozy textures to calming, natural scents, every element enhances a sense of serenity. The Be Soft collection embodies this with:
-Loungewear that feels like a gentle embrace.
-Candles infused with grounding, sensory experiences.
