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.

Filmed a quick outfit of the day before my mother- Filmed a quick outfit of the day before my mother-in-law could see that I had my shoes on her white carpet.😅

Today will be a travel day. Heading home and feeling so grateful for everything in my life including the people and the incredible opportunities that have come my way.

Have a great weekend friends!💖

Today’s outfit is white cropped pants (longer on me at just 5’1”, but so perfect for us petite ladies who want to avoid alterations). Paired with the most flattering v-neck,  a pair of black slides and the most fabulous heart pendant necklace. Let me know if you want LINKS.

Said yes to the trip.🙌🏻 Yes to the opportunity.🙌🏻 Said yes to the trip.🙌🏻

Yes to the opportunity.🙌🏻

Yes to the version of me that’s ready for more.🙌🏻

Because every flight booked is a chance to grow, explore, and step into something new. The outfit just comes along for the ride (and even better when it’s cute and takes you from travel to dinner).🙌🏻

Here’s your sign to stop waiting and start going. 

Where are you saying yes to next?

If you’ve been looking for something comfortable for cool mornings or evenings, this one’s definitely worth checking out. 

Let me know of you want DETAILS on how to get one too!

Sharing my outfit from a casual dinner with friend Sharing my outfit from a casual dinner with friends last night. Does it look familiar? I wore the same top and jeans in different colors a few videos back!😉

My cropped jeans are @oliverloganla and I love this brand because they carry petite lengths for us shorties. The brand is size inclusive and their products are made following ethical practices. They’re very affordable too!

I’m also sharing some of my new jewelry favorites and old treasures too along with a bag that I just couldn’t resist.

Please let me know if you want LINKS with the details.

Have the loveliest day and weekend ahead!💖

Skincare is one of my favorite forms of self care. Skincare is one of my favorite forms of self care.

I recently received a few skincare products from Starike, a KBeauty brand. This is the one that really stood out for me. It has a whopping 21% niacinamide and it’s still gentle on my skin.

Niacinamide can help to achieve a brighter, smoother complexion with a reduced appearance of pores. I’m excited to see what this will do for my skin over time.

🤩 You can see this pore serum and all of their products on the Skin-Seoul website or comment SHOP and I’ll send the details to your messages.
