Living Well is back! And just in time for the rollout of a whole new slew of products to kickstart 2025. I’ve seen it all since the month began: fitness brands teaming up with fashion houses for upscale equipment. A brand new Black-woman-owned non-alcoholic wine company. A decompression device to help you work out the kinks at home. Period panties, with matching bras, that you’ll be proud to saunter around the house in.
And products good for one thing were able to stretch over into other areas. SPANX is in their denim bag now, and Olay, spurred by the massive success of their Super Serum for the face, created a similar offering for the body. The lifestyle category’s latest releases do it all and are perfect for the winter months, bringing light, entertainment, and good vibes during a time when people deal with seasonal depression. And other items are just lit and need to be in your cart asap.
Check out the first crop of must-have goodies released for lifestyle lovers in 2025.

If the face serum, wildly popular thanks to social media, impressed you, then you should probably run, not walk, to pick up Olay’s new Super Serum body wash.
