Kick the New Year off right with a #2020Vision.
Glasses and Contacts
What better way to start your clear vision for the new year — and new decade — than with a new pair of specs or contacts. Warby Parker, the direct-to-consumer brand that donates a pair of glasses for every pair purchased, makes it easy to try on all their styles at home and just launched a brand of contacts, too.
Non-Toxic Nails
Up your mani/pedi game at home with Olive & June, at LA-based non-toxic nail salon that now makes at-home products. Try their Studio Box, which comes with straight edge nail clippers, nail file, buffer, clean up brush, nail polish remover pot, cuticle hydration serum, a travel pouch, 1 nail polish color, top coat, and the Poppy Handle, which attaches to polishes and makes painting your nails with your non-dominant hand easier than you’ve ever dreamed.
Non-Alcoholic Beers
Enjoy your favorite brewski throughout NFL playoffs leading up to the Super Bowl while also sticking to dry January (or even just a dry Sunday). Athletic Brewing Co. makes super sippable non-alcoholic IPAs, as well as a stout, Mexican-style beer, and a golden ale.
Alarm Clock
Keep your phone away from your bedside in order to get a better night’s rest and kick off the new decade with a light-up alarm clock. This one from Casper also winds down with light and can even serve as a nightlight as you navigate from bedroom to bathroom (or kid’s room) in the middle of the night.
Horoscope Readings
Get to know your horoscope beyond just what month you’re born by investigating your star chart, which examines everything down to the time and what was happening with the rest of the world when you were born. Plus, you’ll learn how what’s happening now affects your horoscope today. Expert astrologists like Ash Whyte at Cosmic Alchemy can read your star chart over Skype calls so you can learn all about the stars from your home.
Throwback Reads
Now that we’re in the new roaring twenties, pick up a classic read like The Great Gatsby, which was published 95 years ago. Others to turn to? A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, The Mysterious Affair at Style by Agatha Christie, and Ulysses by James Joyce.
Financial Planner
There’s nothing better than starting a new year off on fresh financial footing. Hire someone to help you (or your loved ones) manage money and set money goals for the new year and beyond. Or turn to apps like Mint or services like The Financial Gym to make it more affordable.
