The new year is the chance for people to better themselves or keep doing the same things they have been doing the previous year. We should bring things into 2025 and things we can leave in the past. These are my ins and outs for 2025.  

Ins 

 Embracing our natural hair – no more heat damage or stressing to make your hair look presentable. It’s time for our natural hair to be the new statement. 

 Being on time – in 2025 we respect people’s time no matter the situation. Running late to places is so 2024. 

 Pilates – it’s time to book that class instead of saying you want to try Pilates. 

 TikTok – now that we have TikTok back, there are more opportunities for endless scrolling. 

 Podcasts – in 2025 we are bringing podcasts no matter the genre. Whether you are a crime junkie or all for the drama, podcasts are here to stay. 

 Going to bed early – that phrase ‘nothing good happens after 10 o’clock’ is what we should be saying all 2025. No more Sunday scaries. 

 Saving money – do we need that top? No more unnecessary spending. 

 Pajama sets – however, we can splurge on matching pj sets. Every girl needs a good satin pj set. 

 Take more pictures – it’s always good to live in the moment but take that picture with your friends and loved ones. 

 Setting boundaries – hot people don’t let others walk all over them. We are going to be strong and place necessary boundaries. 

 Outs 

 The bare minimum – we will not praise people for doing the bare minimum in 2025. If they wanted to they will. 

 People pleasing – by placing boundaries, we will make decisions because that’s what we want and not what’s expected. 

 Procrastination – get that assignment done. 2025 we are done with procrastination, and we are staying on top of our stuff. 

 Soft launches – just post your significant others or don’t. Soft launches are cute, but they can get a little tiring. 

 Gate keeping – sometimes I just want to know where a top is from or a dress, be kind and drop the website. 

 Lululemon leggings – we cannot keep justifying buying $80 black leggings. 

 Fast fashion – cancel that Shein order, fast fashion is out for 2025.

 Kitten heels – love a kitten heels and jeans moment but let’s find a new heel for 2025. 

 TikTok scrolling in the mornings – we know how sucked in we can get with TikTok so when we first wake up, try not to reach for your phone and open up the app. 

 Pickleball – let’s find a new sport to hyper-fixate on, preferably a more indoor sport.
