Fresh Year. Better Taste. Better Decisions:
Welcome to the 2026 Issue

It’s 2026, and we’re already halfway through February. Which means one of three things is probably true: you’re fully locked into your New Year resolutions, quietly struggling to keep up with them, or starting over again. You’ve set your goals at work, joined a fitness group, and reset your Instagram algorithm in the hope that this year is going to be better than last year. Then, this issue is for you.

​

Think of this issue as your accountability partner, here to help you set new goals, and actually achieve them. This unofficially titled “We’re Actually Doing It This Time” Issue is here to help you reset, refocus, and follow through. So buckle up and let’s do this together. Bookmark it and come back to it throughout the year when life gets busy, overwhelming, and routines start breaking.

​

Inside, you’ll find what you need to make 2026 count; from e-commerce trends unpacked by Lwazi, to the cars and mobile trends shaping what’s next with Mufaro, to smarter ways to cut screen time by Sher. And movies actually worth looking forward to, plus fitness group classes to try this year. 

​

All of it designed to help you live 2026 with main-character energy because this year, we’re actually doing it and making things happen.
