There is something about New Year’s resolutions that are just fleeting. For some reason, these dreams we have always seem just out of reach. So where do we start? This year, let’s throw out the usual “I will climb Everest” resolutions and focus on something we can actually achieve: Your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Why don’t we make this the year where self-care isn’t just a buzzword but a lifestyle? While self-care isn’t a walk in the park, with a focus on the right things, it’s certainly doable.

Section 1: Mental Health – Your Inner Sanctuary
Embrace And Prioritize ‘Me Time’
In the busy world we live in, ‘Me Time’ can be like a mythical unicorn – rare but magical. This year, why don’t you make a promise to carve out moments just for you? Whether it’s a peaceful cup of tea, a quiet stroll, or spending some time with a good book, these precious moments are your mental recharge stations. Treat these moments as sacred appointments with yourself, non-negotiable and essential for your well-being.
Laughter Is Serious Business
Who knew chuckles and laughs are secret weapons for mental health? This year, let’s find humor in the little things. Be it the mystery of the missing sock or your pet’s theatrical antics, a good laugh can be the best stress relief. Laughter can be like a mini vacation for your brain, a brief escape from the bland or challenging aspects of life. Make it a point to seek out sources of laughter – funny movies, books, or even the odd meme sent between friends.
Digital Detox: Reconnect With Reality
It’s sad but true. Our digital lives often hold us hostage. Once you realize how much valuable time is lost through mindless scrolling, it’s time to stage a friendly coup. Regular digital detoxes can free up mental space, allowing you to reconnect with the real world, indulge in hobbies, or doing absolutely nothing. These detoxes help in reducing screen fatigue and improving focus. They also encourage you to engage more deeply with your surroundings, building a better appreciation for the physical world.
Mindful Moments: Breathe In, Stress Out
Mindfulness isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a lifeline. And that is the reason there is so much hype going on about it. Simple practices like deep breathing, meditation, or just being present can work wonders for your mental well-being. Remember, a calm mind is a happy mind. So building mindfulness into your daily routine can really help in managing anxiety, improving concentration, and enhancing overall mental dexterity. Even a few minutes a day can make a pretty big difference in your mental clarity and emotional stability.
Section 2: Emotional Health – Nurturing Your Inner Self
Emotional Check-Ins: The New Normal
This year, let’s make emotional honesty a priority. Regular check-ins with yourself about how you truly feel can be enlightening. It’s okay to have off days. Acknowledging your emotions is the first step to managing them. By doing this, you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and can address your needs more effectively. It’s like taking yourself for a picnic date and really unwinding.
The Art Of Saying No
Now this can be super difficult to get right, especially if you’re a people pleaser. Picture your emotional range as a fuel tank. Saying no to things that drain you emotionally is not just okay; it’s a form of self-care. Sometimes you simply have to insist that the answer is no. Remember, every no to something draining is a yes to something nourishing. It also sets healthy boundaries, ensuring others respect your time and emotional space.
Cultivate Gratitude: The Joy Multiplier
Gratitude is the hero of emotional well-being. Finding things to be grateful for shouldn’t only be limited to your Thanksgiving dinner. This year, do your best to cultivate a habit of gratitude. Be it journaling, mental notes, or sharing with loved ones, acknowledging the good in our lives can elevate our emotional vibe. This simple act can change perspective, highlighting the abundance in your life rather than the lack of positive things.
Find Your Emotional Support Squad
Your community can make or break your emotional health. You’ve probably experienced this somewhere in your life. So, surround yourself with people who uplift you, understand you, and are there for you through thick and thin. Remember, we’re social creatures, and the right company can be therapeutic. These relationships give you a sense of belonging and support, which is necessary for emotional resilience. In times of stress or joy, having a solid friend can make all the difference in how you experience and process your emotions.

Section 3: Physical Health – The Engine Of Your Being
A Fresh Start To Fitness And Wellness
As we step into the new year, why not embrace a holistic approach to physical health? Whether it’s adopting a healthier diet, joining a local fitness group, or seeking personalized guidance from professionals like those at Encinitas Weight Loss, the goal is to make choices that feel good and are sustainable. Now you’ve probably had “become fit” on your new year’s resolution list more than once. You need to remember that the only way to sustain this resolution is through baby steps. If you can be 1% better today than you were yesterday, then it’s a step in the right direction. This journey is about more than just numbers on a scale; it’s about feeling stronger, more energetic, and in tune with your body’s needs.
Nourish To Flourish
This year, let’s fall in love with foods that love us back. Fresh fruits, vibrant veggies, and whole grains can be exciting (yes, really!). Experiment with new recipes, explore local markets, and rediscover the joy of cooking. Your body deserves the best fuel. Think of your meals as a palette of nutrients, each adding a stroke of health and vitality. Don’t forget to hydrate as well – water is your body’s best friend, keeping everything running smoothly and efficiently. While a healthier diet might seem like a bind, just remember it gets easier after a couple of weeks. So persevere and wait for the results.
Move More, Sit Less
Exercise doesn’t have to be a chore. Find activities that bring you joy – dancing, hiking, yoga, or even vigorous house cleaning (it counts!). The goal is to get moving, boost those endorphins, and enjoy the energy surge. Regular activity not only strengthens your body but also releases chemicals that enhance your mood and mental clarity. It’s a win-win for your physical and mental health. Remember, consistency is key, so find a routine that fits your lifestyle and stick with it.
Sleep: Your Undercover Hero
We know that when things get busy, then sleep often takes a backseat. Quality sleep is kind of important when it comes to physical health. So, set that sleep schedule, create a restful environment, and watch as your body shows the results. Good sleep habits can also improve your mood, which is kind of a big deal. Think of sleep as daily maintenance for your body, repairing and preparing you for the next day.
Regular Health Check-Ups: Your Wellness Compass
Last but not least, try to get around to those scheduled health check ups. Sometimes we have underlying health issues that go unnoticed until it is too late. These visits can also be educational, offering insights into your health and lifestyle improvements that might work for you.
So, as we approach this journey called 2024, let’s do it with a focus on overall well-being. Mental, emotional, and physical health are the pillars of a happy life. Remember, you’re not just surviving; you’re thriving. And as we wave goodbye to 2023, let’s remember our losses and victories, using them as stepping stones to a new chapter filled with well-being and joy.

It’s gifting season once again! As a mother, aunt, and godmother, I still struggle with finding something on-trend that the teens and twenties in my life will really love, so I went straight to the source. Meet guest curator Clare Daly! She’s a New York-based creative (and my goddaughter!) and I’m so excited to welcome her to the blog.
New to Empty Nesting?
If your recent renter is looking to decorate their new digs, help them say goodbye to the dreaded landlord special. This golden, scalloped Anthropologie switch plate (#3) and the Wayfair mid-century-inspired armchair are perfect to make a starter apartment their very own. The armchair (#10) is available in so many cute colors, and it’s on sale! Add in this sweet sleeping cat lamp (#9) because no one uses the big light these days— it’s all about ambiance.
Whether or not your Gen Zer is new to the kitchen, Shelly Westerhausen Worcel’s Every Season Is Soup Season (#2) couldn’t be an easier gift. The base recipes for everything from quick broths to days-long chilis establish a strong culinary foundation. Worcel’s tips and tricks for freezing and storing will come in clutch when a long day at the office calls for nothing more than a microwave. WFHing? Make a bowl of tomato basil for lunch and rest it on this multi-functional acrylic laptop stand (#15) that blends into any desk setup.
For the Fashion Forward
Your Gen Zer with a heart of gold (…or not) will obsess over Elizabeth Cole’s Nixine Necklace (#1). The evil eye symbol, known for its ability to repel bad vibes, is one of this holiday season’s hottest trends. Accented with Swarovski crystals, the California-designed, Rhode Island-crafted necklace is perfect for warding off the very worst: a gifting faux pas.
Hop on the athleisure train with this Alo Yoga sherpa jacket (#11). Complete with a removable hood, it is an adorably versatile option for heading to the gym, running to class, or anything in between. Designed in neutral colors and sized for layering, the recipient of this gift can make this fuzzy bomber a daily driver in their Fall/Winter wardrobe. Pair it with this Oat Milk tee (#12) and your Gen Zer will never have to remind a barista of their lactose preferences again.
Fellow twenty-something teenage girls, listen up. Work shoes with style do exist! Put these two on-the-pulse pairs on your list. Right. Now.
Sam Edelman Jildies (#14) gives you 4 inches of height and leans into the square-toe Mary Jane Renaissance. Clunky, cute, and classy for under $200. Also, Express just collaborated with iconic shoe designer and social tastemaker Brian Atwood for an affordable take on haute designs. Any pair of Atwood’s are a major slay, but I love these pointed flats (#14) with a silky bow. Translation for moms: These are the grown-up versions of the shoes you made us wear, often kicking and screaming, for every first day of school until we were, like, 12. No, it’s not hypocritical. They’re cute now! Read Nicole’s post about the collab HERE.
Makeup & More
If I could only have two beauty items, I would keep my Merit Beauty Minimalist Stick (#7) and Glossier You fragrance. The Minimalist, true to its name, can replace multiple pieces in your Gen Zer’s makeup bag. Its variety of shades blend into the skin seamlessly—all over, undereye, and on problem spots— and choose a darker shade for a creamy, matte contour. Looking to gift their first signature scent? Glossier You is IT. If you don’t know Glossier by now, I’m convinced you’ve taken up residence under the world’s most soundproof boulder. I digress.
I’d prefer to find my perfect scent on the shelf, instead of painstakingly poring over each element at these so-called “fragrance labs” I keep seeing pop up in New York. Once again, I digress. Gluten-free and vegan with base notes of pink pepper and iris, Glossier’s unisex eau de parfum (#6) (is an amazing experiment in skin chemistry. Spritz or roll it, but don’t rub! Make sure to let it settle in on its own. When the fragrance settles, the base combines with the body for an elevated natural scent unique to the wearer that compliments any outfit or event.
Toys for Totes
One of my go-to gift ideas is to fill something: a water bottle with candy, a basket with grooming essentials, etc. I can never have too many totes, so receiving one that’s sturdy and stylish, like this Baggu (#8), would make my holiday. As for the filling, go for my favorite gifts to get: a vinyl record of the latest Taylor Swift album and the cutest self-care book there is. At the time of publication, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (#5) is still the stuff of “Suburban Legends”. For those who have yet to indoctrinate into the Swiftie persuasion, that’s a vault track on the most recent release. Instagram sensation Maybell Eequay’s inspirational little frog characters have arrived on the page in Little Frog’s Guide to Self-Care (#13). Positive messages, plus the sweetest drawings, what’s not to love? Throw in this Heyday 35mm Film Camera (#16) to capture the other goodies and memorable moments of the holiday season and beyond.
Happy gifting!
It’s easy to love life during the spring and summer months. After all, what’s not to love about long and warm sunny days, when there are a million things to do and everyone seems to be in a good mood? But in the winter months, things become a little more challenging. The dark, chilly afternoons and evenings force us to be inside more, and if your home isn’t up to standard, then you’ll have to ensure a long few months until the warm weather returns.
So let’s make sure that doesn’t happen. In this post, we’ll run through a few easy tips that’ll have you enjoying the winter season in your house.
Get in the Kitchen
The colder part of the year is the perfect opportunity to get in the kitchen and cook up a delicious winter dish. When there’s a chill in the air and there’s nothing to do, spend your time cooking up a soup, chili, or curry — all of these dishes will keep your internal engine warm and toasty. You can also consider baking bread or making cookies, both of which will be delicious and give your home a sweet winter smell.
Bring the Heat
There’s not much you can do about the temperature outside your property. But inside your home? That’s all on you. You’ll find you can enjoy winter much more if you’re warm and toasty inside your property. There are multiple ways to increase the comfort of your home, including upgrading your windows, sealing off any drafty spots, and working with a furnace repair company to ensure your furnace is in full working condition. If you have a classic fireplace, then be sure to order plenty of wood so you can keep the fire roaring all season long.
You can also look at investing in a few new throws and blankets — they’ll be the star of the show when you want to add a little coziness to your home.
Entertainment Options
Spring and summer are for exploring the world and doing outdoor activities. In the winter, we’ll spend a big chunk of our time at home, so make sure you have fun things to do while you’re there. Could now be the right time to upgrade your entertainment set-up? Buying a large TV (or projector), getting a few subscription services, and fitting your living room with a new couch will allow you and your family to spend many cozy evenings together as you work your way through all those great TV shows and movies.
Cozy Reading Corners
Of course, you’re not going to watch TV all winter. This time of year is the perfect opportunity to spend long days with your head in a good book. If you can put together a cozy reading corner, one that allows you to read in peace for hours on end, then you won’t care how long winter drags on. Add in a steaming cup of tea and one of those cookies you’ve made, and you’ll be in bliss.
