Insights from 2024

As I was writing a little fashion insight post for Instagram, I decided I could share my thoughts here on the blog as well as some insights about traveling and family that I would like to continue or do better in 2025. A lot of these are similar to some of the goals I shared last week in this post.

Fashion/Shopping Insights

• I do not like visual clutter in my closet (and anywhere else really) and still like to reassess periodically whether I wear things in my closet. With many choices at the tip of my fingers, I do not keep pieces I “have to make myself” wear.
• I have found a renewed love for thrifting after discovering an awesome thrift store in town. Here is to 2025 being a year where I strive to stay away from retail shops. I will be sharing how well I did at the end of each month.
• I love to share ways to wear one pieces and to replicate outfits so I will continue to share those regularly on the blog.
• I love colorful clothes but neutrals too!

Travel Insights

• I love going on vacation, but especially abroad: it’s time to renew my efforts to save more and spend less and budget well.
• Traveling light makes traveling easier
• Creating my photobooks within a month of coming back from vacation ensures that I actually create those albums.
• A solo trip a year is going to be a tradition!
• Putting some money aside for vacations every month makes traveling less stressful

Family Insights

• I love playing board games with the boys: it’s fun and create memories.
• our family vacations are important to all of us and I want to continue to make those a priority.
• not enough date nights in 2024: can 2025 be better?
• getting up before the kids for at least 30 minutes allows me to be calmer when it is time for them to get ready for school. Walking or running every day is beneficial to my mental and physical health.

I really like taking stock of the year and thinking about the year ahead in December and January. This year, I am hoping to share a monthly post to share my struggles and progress.

A bientôt!
