HerCanberra’s Ins and Outs for 2026
Posted on
Here’s what we’re taking with us in 2026 and what we’re leaving behind.
As we begin to seriously look to the year ahead and all the exciting things we have planned, we thought we would share our Ins and Outs. Hopefully, it inspires you to think of some of your own!
IN
- The Korean Wave – K-pop, beauty, food and everything else. When you work for Canberra’s self-proclaimed K-influencer, this is a non-negotiable.
- Hojicha, ube and black sesame anything. Basically, anything that’s an alternative to coffee.
- Coke Zero. We’re eating our words from 2025.
- Unisex dressing.
- Gut health. Did anyone else know that your mental health is linked to the gut?
- Being on time.
- Whimsy! 2026 is all about lighthearted, unpredictable fun.
- Supporting local. But is this ever out?
- Dressing up just because. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Monday, don those heels and sparkles!
- Saying hi to your neighbour. It’s time to reconnect to the community.
- Passion projects.
OUT
- Imposter syndrome. You deserve your success.
- Doom scrolling (still).
- Sarcasm.
- Mircotrends. Let’s ignore those hyper-specific, short-lived fads.
- Disengaging from…everything.
- Comparing timelines. Your journey is different from everyone else’s.
- Perfectionism. And yes, we’re calling ourselves out.
- Crocs. There. We said it.**
- Acting your age.
- Ignorance. There’s no excuse.
- Food waste.
* Note from Amanda: “I would just like it noted that I said K-Pop was cool last year and no one believed me. Nekkminit… Thank you KPop Demon Hunters!”
**Our Digital Content Producer Georgie Smith disagrees.
