Fashion’s finest stay trendy on and off the runway with some of this year’s buzziest foods. Cauliflower is a major favorite, which can be used as a gluten-free alternative in recipes from pizza crust to gnocchi. Non-dairy milks are also increasingly popular, with many models declaring their love for oat milk as a dairy alternative that is less likely to cause bloating. Collagen powder is also in vogue as a super supplement to add to smoothies or tea for an extra boost that keeps skin fresh and glowing.Go-To Natural Cold Remedies

Spring fashion previews don’t end on the 13th. The entire month of February is full of global runway shows and industry events, with New York Fashion Week immediately followed by London, Milan, and Paris. To get through the chaos of international travel and packed schedules, runway beauties make sure to stay hydrated and choose healthy snacks when they need some extra energy. Some favorites are raw veggies with hummus or avocado sprinkled with sea salt, paprika, and lemon juice. For an extra dose of natural caffeine, fashion stars opt for Matcha green tea instead of coffee or carbonated drinks.
