As more people embrace a “flexitarian diet” — which encourages less meat consumption for both health and environmental reasons — several fast food chains are exploring meatless alternatives in 2022 with Beyond Meat. Last week, McDonald’s announced it’ll be expanding its tests for the plant-based McPlant burger, which will be rolled out at roughly 600 locations starting Feb. 14. This follows KFC’s new addition of plant-based chicken to its menu earlier this month, which the company says mimics both the taste and texture of chicken breast. Beyond Meat is expected to continue creating meat substitute products with food industry giants throughout the year, with a PepsiCo partnership for plant-based jerky reportedly in the works.

Madewell x Backdrop release Studio Hours collection

Madewell partnered with paint brand Backdrop to release the Studio Hours collection, a limited apparel capsule inspired by artists’ workwear. The collection includes outerwear, footwear, hoodies, painters’ shirts and tote bags, all available in a new Warm Taupe color that both Madewell and Backdrop will also sell as interior paint on their websites. The Studio Hours launch follows Madewell’s recently enhanced Madewell Forever resale program in partnership with ThredUP.

Casper introduces new Snoozewear collection

Select reader favorite brand Casper launched its new Snoozewear collection, made up of three loungewear items: the Snoozewear Robe, Snoozewear Slippers and Snoozewear Sleep Mask. According to the brand, the robe is a duvet-like blanket that you can wear — it’s made of 100 percent cotton and available in three colors: White, Indigo and Oatmilk. You can pair the robe with a Snoozewear Sleep Mask — made with a cotton front panel and memory foam fill — and the Snoozewear Slippers, which feature what the brand describes as a soft foam insole and a durable microsuede outsole, along with a silicone grip pattern on the bottom.

Levoit Core 600S Smart True HEPA Air Purifier is now available

The Levoit Core 600S air purifier, which the brand debuted at CES 2022 earlier this month, can filter rooms up to 635 square feet, according to Levoit. This smart air purifier can send real-time air quality updates directly to your phone using the VeSync app and the brand says it can automatically adjust the fan speed to keep noise levels low. The app also allows you to create a custom timer and check its filter life, and you can utilize voice controls by connecting the Core 600S to Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
