New Year, New Me

January 9, 2025

It’s never too early or too late to make changes in your life. For most of us though, the start of the new year feels like the right time to change our ways in some aspect of our lives for the better. It means different things to each of us. One person may want to get organized, while another may want to lose weight. The new year is an ideal time to turn the page and breathe new life into our daily routines. Who’s ready for a change? (I’m over here raising my hand, btw)

We can all step bravely into 2025 vowing to make changes that fill our days with excitement and motivation. Whether it’s finally picking up that paintbrush, or lacing up those walking shoes, or exploring exotic cuisines in the kitchen, every day can be a new adventure. Think of this new year as a perfect canvas, waiting for you to color it with your dreams and desires. We all have the potential to realize our dreams and goals if we’re committed.

new year, new you

If you happen to be looking to make changes this year, I have some recommendations of products that might help you on your journey. I’m over here cheering you on as you become the best version of yourself this year. Remember, take baby steps and 12 months from now you’ll be so proud of your accomplishments.

I’ve recently taken several makeup classes and one I’ve recently taken several makeup classes and one of the common lessons is that dewy or glowy makeup is better for mature skin. I agree completely because I feel like it blurs my 61 year old wrinkles a little bit and makes my skin look hydrated and healthy.

Dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in one of Dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in one of my favorite vacation places wearing one of my favorite dresses with my most favorite person in the world. 

Scroll to the right to see the back of this gorgeous pleated dress that packs into a little pouch making it travel friendly. It’s currently on sale too!☀️

The maxi dress has a raw hem so it’s super easy to cut without having to get it hemmed. That worked out perfectly for me and my petite 5’1” height. I cut 3 inches off the bottom of the dress and now it fits me exactly how I like it. I love the color too!

I’m loving the back of the dress so I thought I’d share it in a video when we were walking back from the restaurant after dinner. The restaurant is called Hacienda and it’s by the marina in Cabo. We’ve been going there for years. This trip we went there for brunch too and it was excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner if you’re ever in Cabo.
