New year, not necessarily new you, but an improved you! The end of a year and the beginnning of a new year is the perfect time to reflect on the highs and lows of 2025, but also new ideas to live by as we start 2026. 

In today's blog post, read on to discover what mantras we've adapted into our daily rituals as not only gentle reminders to ourselves, but to those around us that matter the most. 

Don't Be Afraid to Brighten a Room

Easier said than done, but this is a great reminder on how to truly be yourself. Make a silly joke, bring your coworker their favorite coffee, or even throw on something bright and colorful that highlights your best features. Bottom line: the bright and colorful version of yourself is the version that people will remember the most.

Love is Really All You Need

Need we say more? However or whoever you receive love from, it is the best feeling in the world. Sweeten the love to those around you with a simple heart-shaped gesture - it could be a heart-shaped pizza, a donut box spelling out L-O-V-E or X-O, or even a delicate 18k gold plated ring with a row of hearts. It's the little things that make the world go round!
