Welcome to C J's e-Newsletter!
Happy new year dear ,
What can you expect for 2024? Here are a few key events, forecast and trends to watch out for.
Events
Paris will be hosting the XXXIII Olympiad and for the first time, the Games’ opening ceremony will be held outside a stadium, with athletes introduced floating down the Seine and games taking place in front of iconic landmarks. After the incredible success of the Women's World Cup in ANZ, Germany will be hosting the Euro 2024 football competition and the Asian Cup hosted by Qatar where the Australian Socceroos kicking off their campaign against India in January.
2024 is also a politically significant year with over 64 elections taking place, including in 7 of the top 10 populous countries - India, Unites States of America, European Union and Russian Federation.
Economic Forecast
It is an understatement to say the past couple of year have been economically tumultuous, 2024 will likely to remain as uncertain. The global economy ended 2023 in better shape than expected with falling inflation in much of the world leading to likely interest rate cuts in 2024. However, wars and the impact of climate crisis will continue to wreak havoc across the global economic landscape. The 64 elections taking place will most certainly add to the level of unpredictability.
Consumer Trends Consumers are adapting to a world where the high cost-of-living and economic uncertainty is front-of-mind and is driving what we want from the people and organisations around us. In the beauty, health and wellness space, consumers are expecting more from technology and science-backed products. Consumers will be embracing cost-conscious and climate-friendly diets such as through lab-synthesised meats. What's not changing are consumers frequently exploring products, consume content and make purchases on their devices. In order to remain relevant, businesses must embrace virtual technologies to drive growth.

The ten monster property deals of 2023 from $33 million to $76 million
|
|
Ten buyers spent more than $517 million alone on the very top tier of Aussie real estate in 2023.
The half-a-billion-dollar splurge was for waterfront mansions mostly in Sydney’s salubrious Bellevue Hill and Point Piper, where almost all homes had a postcard view of the Harbour Bridge, or colossal apartments yet to be finished that will one day hover high above glittering inner-city Melbourne.

How to protect your eyes from the sun, heat, water and champagne corks over summer
|
|
When Nicole Kidman stepped out in Paris last year wearing big, wraparound sunglasses, ophthalmologist Shanel Sharma felt excited.
"As an eye doctor, I'm looking at that going, 'Oh my God, that's awesome' because if that takes off fashion-wise, it will also protect [people's eyes]," Dr Sharma says.
She's constantly urging people to properly protect their eyes from the Sun's

Welcome the onset of Sydney summer with cocktails and pho’s sexier, spicy cousin

Vietnamese rice noodle soup, bun bo hue, is pretty much the perfect thing to eat on a sweltering afternoon, especially if you’re into lemongrass. Traditionally built on beef and pork bones, it’s complex, tart and hugely fragrant, and just fiery enough to get your internal air-conditioning system pumping without blowing your skull off.

Can you build up a tolerance to pet allergies?
|

Humans have been living alongside cats and dogs for thousands of years. But that doesn't mean we're always compatible.
About 1 in 5 Australians are allergic to our furry friends, and the rate is rising globally.
Pet allergies can range from mild to severe, so it's important to pinpoint the seriousness of your reaction as soon as possible.

I'm trying to lose weight and eat healthily. Why do I feel so hungry all the time? What can I do about it?
|
|
Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States, famously said nothing is certain except death and taxes. But I think we can include "you'll feel hungry when you're trying to lose weight" as another certainty.
The reason is basic biology. So how does this work — and what can you do about it?
