My "Ins" for 2025

I hope everyone is having a great start to their year! I want to thank you for continuing to read my work into 2025—it means a lot to me, especially since Lily’s Literature turns one on February 1st!

I took a bit of a break from writing in December due to finals, the holidays, etc., but I’m now fully back and excited to share my content ideas in the coming weeks and months!

Many new publication segments are in the works and will be releasing very soon aka this week!!

My INS - essentially what I will be prioritizing and taking part in during 2025

1. overdressing - dressing 4 success

2. journal daily - I use the 5 minute journal (highly recommend)

3. handwritten note taking for school

4. 1 new book a month (minimum)

5. 2 new films a week

6. monthly movie theater trips

7. physical media - magazines, books, newspapers, etc

8. thrifting and vintage shopping

9. drink more tea

10. consuming more whole foods

11. 10k steps a day

12. limited screen time on phone - set timers on phone

13. spend more time outside - walking, studying, etc

14. expanding film and music taste - explore new genres

15. spending more intentionally - investing in high-quality, long-lasting products - denim, shoes, etc

16. explore more of D.C. and visit every Smithsonian before May

    I’d encourage everyone to create either physical or mental lists of personal goals or ideas they want to bring into the new year with them. Not only does this help visualize your desires, but it also makes them one step closer to becoming a reality!

    Vision/mood boards

Vision/mood boards are another go-to for me, helping me guide and create my own realities. I love using Pinterest for inspiration, photos, and more.
