It's time to say good-bye to unicorn toast and cold-shoulder shirts. Welcome to 2018!

For every trend that's ending, there's a new one beginning. Here's your guide to what's hot this year.

Plus, one winner will receive two $50 gift cards - to Sephora and WholeFoods - to sample the latest trends!

Fashion: Ultra Violet

Thanks to the announcement of Ultra Violet as Pantone's Color of the Year, purples will be every where in 2018. According to Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, the bright purple shade “communicates originality, ingenuity and visionary thinking.” The color is bold, so it can be worn as just a pop of color in an otherwise muted outfit. Or follow the trend more subtly by embracing violet but in a more lavender hue.

Food: Floral Flavors

Last year, we recommended that you put fruit in your water to flavor it. This year, try flowers like lavender, hibisicus, violet or elderflower. According to Whole Foods Market's global buyers and experts, floral flavors will be in everything from lattes to snacks. These flowers will make food look - and smell - beautiful. We can't wait to try the GoodPop Hibiscus Mint Frozen Pops and the Whole Foods Market Dark Chocolate Violet Marshmallows!

Technology: Augmented Reality

We've all used Augmented Reality in Snapchat or Pokémon Go. But experts say this technology will expand greatly and spread across multiple industries. For example, with augmented reality decorating apps you can decorate an existing room - just "add" furniture to see what looks good. On vacation, visit museums where battles can be reenacted right in front of you. And for an instant conversation starter, bring a bottle of 19 Crimes wine to your next party - and watch the labels come to life.

Beauty: Healing Crystals

In 2018, skin care will also be self care as healing crystals will find their way into beauty products. According to PureWow, expect to see amethyst, rose quartz, citrine and jade in skin creams and oils. These products are not just an expensive gimmick. The high-quality and therapueutic scents will make you feel good as you look good. To check out this trend without breaking the bank, try the KORA Organics Rose Quartz Luminizer from Sephora.

Social Media: Plandids

Have you seen pictures of friends laughing over lunch, or celebrities staring at the ocean in wonder? While these shots may look spontaneous, in reality, they are more likely to be a "plandid," aka a "planned candid." These images are taking over social media, as people improve upon the selfie to have natural shots where they still look amazing. Look for plandids in your Instagram feed right now!

Parenting: #HASHTAGBABY

When a new baby comes into the world, there are so many things to worry about. Now you can add something new to the list - will their name be available on Twitter? Yes, it will become even more popular to check email and social media platforms before baby names are finalized. According to The New York Times, #HASHTAGBABY means unusual names will become ever more popular since they won't already have been taken on Facebook or Instagram.

What 2018 trend are you excited about? It could be on this list or your own. Tell us for the chance to win two $50 gift cards - one to Sephora and one to Whole Foods!

Love the violet color and especially in eye color as it adds to my brown eyes, adding it to food and drink a big plus. Pandid? hmmm I'll have to check that out for certain.

I love the color purple in all forms. Design, collections, décor, etc. It's a bohemian color.
