New Year Old Habits
Besties, I’m back this week! Instead of giving you the final updates on our M O V E, I’m sharing with you all the H A B I T S I’m bringing into 2026!
buckle up, let’s get into this! I knew walking into the new year I wanted to establish a good foundation of healthy habits to kick things off for a successful year. I wear a lot of hats throughout my normal day to day. And, I’ll be honest a lot of my routine and healthy habits have been slacking lately…
1) MOUTHTAPE! Everything starts with a good nights rest. As we’ve been unpacking I found my MouthTape. If you’re new here I am obsessed with using MouthTape to sleep. I wrote a blog post about it, “The one about MouthTape” (STALK it Later!)
2) M A N T R A! Everyday I wake up the first thing I do is grab my prayer beads and chant my morning Mantras. If you would have told the 2016 version of me I’d be here doing this 10 years later I wouldn’t believe you. Meaning if you’re anything like we Mantras may seem a little “woo woo” “ta loca” to some but they
3) Ginger Lemon Tea, Girl! Almost, I say A L M O S T because let’s keep it real here. I make a fresh Ginger Lemon hot tea first thing when I wake up. It’s so good for your digestive system.
4) a Gallon of Water a d a y! One of my homegirls from the Military called me a week into the new year and was yapping about how she’s drinking a gallon of water a day! I told her “Say Less! I’m already filling up my G L A S S Jug!” Add a pinch of salt to prevent from flushing out your vitamins and feeling fatigued. Keep it GLASSY because we’re not doing Microplastics. Also, for the record I’ve been using 92% of g l a s s ware in my everyday life since 2014. So ya’ll are late to the microplastics! LoL
5) Counting my Steps! 20K Steps during the week and on the weekends 10K Steps is the goal! A big real for this is because W A L K I N G is so good for the body and also a major de stressor. I have a high pressure 9-5 and so does my Husband so I am always looking for ways to decompress from the hectic work day/week.
So Chat, What are some habits you’re looking to build in 2026? Drop me a comment below!
Love always, Your UnPolished Bestie 🤙🏽XoXo, Stay Gold ✨
