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.

Collage titled "New Year, New Me" featuring Amazon products: budget planner, Caraway cookware set, Mediterranean cookbook, yoga mat, gratitude journal, digital planner, Atomic Habits book, fitness tracker, sneakers, treadmill, and self-drinking tumbler.

 

A sleek set of light beige kitchen cookware, including a frying pan, a sauté pan, a saucepan, and a stockpot, all with silver handles. The interiors appear to be non-stick, designed for modern culinary use.
A black fitness tracker with a digital screen displaying the date as Wednesday 27th, time as 12:58, and heart rate as 73 beats per minute. The band is adjustable with a clasp.
Cover of the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. The text reads: "#1 New York Times Bestseller, Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results, An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones." A badge notes over 10 million copies sold.

At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — and a weighted vest. Adding this simple tool to my daily walk is already making a difference in how I feel, move, and show up for myself.

Here’s why women over 50 might want to give it a try:
1️⃣ Supports Bone Health: Extra weight = gentle resistance = stronger bones = less chance of fractures in the future.
2️⃣ Improves Muscle Tone & Posture: Great for balance and core strength.
3️⃣ Burns More Calories: A simple walk becomes a low-impact strength workout.
P.S. It’s great for men & women of all ages!💪🏼

It’s never too late to level up your wellness routine. And you can get the benefits while doing your house chores, going up and down stairs, gardening, etc. for even more opportunities to improve bone density.

Do you walk with a weighted vest too? I’d love to hear how it’s helped you!

Comment LINK for more information on this particular vest and why I purchased it after a lot of research.💗 (be sure to follow to receive my message with the link).⚠️

I couldn’t resist this audio! It’s been in my I couldn’t resist this audio! It’s been in my back pocket for a while just waiting for the right moment to use it.😂😂

We all want what we don’t have… I’ve always wanted straight thin hair, but my genetics decided that wasn’t in the cards.

Anyway, this root touch up powder is my new best friend for covering my grays roots between salon touch ups (which happen more frequently these days).😅

It’s a clean beauty formula too! Let me know if you want a link to purchase it for yourself. It’s available in 5 different shades. I’m using the medium brown.

By the way, I turned 60 years old a few months ago and love sharing beauty, fashion, life stuff and my travels. If that sounds like something you’re interested in, then follow my account and let’s be midlife friends. It’s harder to find friends at this stage in our lives and this platform is where I’ve found some of my besties.💗💗
