Happy New Year, girls!
In
Dressing up to go to the grocery store
Naming your kinks like Nicole Kidman in BABYGIRL
Making little projects your whole personality
Perhaps slowing down on shopping but not in an oppressive way

Blue mascara
Following up

Yoga with Adriene
Saying yes and showing up

Finding a family doctor
Living the dream (getting off screens by 10 pm)
Matcha after 2 PM
Working on your communication skills
Inviting people over instead of agonizing over a suitable restaurant/menu for everyone’s specific interests and dietaries
Regular facials
Sex as exercise

Saying no to more tote bags
Long voice notes to your friends that almost feel like Victorian love letters
Going to the movies all the time
Ensuring that your home always has fresh flowers
Being bold, but not in an obnoxious way (working in progress)
Working out like you’re in the trailer of an Academy-Award nominated athlete biopic
Asking for what you want
Getting over it
Being in love
Out

Scrolling the internet in bed while your books collect dust and your eyes fall out of your head attached by a mere slinky
