YOUR 2025 CONFIDENCE GLOW-UP
Because here's the thing: Feeling your best and boldest starts with the tiniest of changes to make you more prepped and polished in your day-to-day. Consider this your checklist for a happy, accomplished, organized, put-together, amazing (all the good things!) year ahead.
Talk to a stranger
See a girl in the coffee shop with a super cute sweater? Tell her you heart it. Catch a good vibe from the cashier at the local boutique? Ask them how their holiday season is going. Making new connections (even if it’s just a brief exchange) can brighten up your day, boost your self-esteem and help you broaden your social circle.
Sign up for a fun class
Rec centers and community colleges often offer weekend courses in some surprisingly niche subjects (steel drums, bird-watching, pottery, you name it), and winter vacay is the perfect time to sign up. It’s a built-in chance to channel your creativity plus find potential pals with similar interests.
Try the one-minute rule
Take stock of your to-do list, especially the tasks you’ve been putting off. Anything that would take less than one minute to complete (think: washing your water bottle, emptying the trash can by your desk, picking up your dirty clothes off the floor)? Do it. Right now.
Pretty up your planner
You’ll never miss another homework assignment again: Invest in an aesthetic agenda plus some pastel gel pens and stickers (or download a planning app like Notion). Keeping track of your daily to-dos never felt so crafty.
