What better way to end BLOGMAS than with my birthday? If you have kept up with one or all of my posts for this year’s 12 Days of BLOGMAS, thank you so much. That’s truly the best birthday gift you could give me.
I am wishing myself many happy returns and a fantastic year ahead. I think one of the advantages of having a birthday at the end of the year is that it provides a natural opportunity to envision what you want for yourself in your new age, and you have a whole year to work towards.
That said, here are 6 things I would like to do in the coming year :
- Donate blood – I have actually never done this because I have had a fear of needles for the longest, but I want to start donating as often as I can in 2026
- Work on building a healthy savings amount
- Have a lot of intentional solo dates
- Try to meet my friends at least one in the year. A year can actually pass by, easily in fact, without you meeting people who you’re even in the same city with, so this is something I want to try next year. I know it can be hard to align schedules, but everything is possible in the end. To make it even more manageable, meeting as a friend group will be a start.
- Intentionally take care of my hair. I honestly have hair that grows relatively fast. It’s been a year post-big chop, and someone could think I have grown it out for years. But I actually want to go back to the naturalista era of doing your own hair, etc. Maybe with a salon visit quarterly. With that, I am also planning to get a nice-ish wig that can come through for when I want a change without having to braid, etc.
- Start a new hobby. Whether it’s a new sport or something like painting. I want to try something new and be consistent with it next year
Have you already started thinking of 2026? Let me know in the comments!
And with that, the 2025 BLOGMAS season has come to an end. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
