Happy New year! Do you do any resolutions? I do Gretchen Rubin’s 26 for 2026 list and am currently trying to fill mine up. I would love to know your lists and resolutions! Here are few things I’m currently obsessed with.
My current favorite green smoothie
Not sure what it is, but the combination of kale, apple, lemon and ginger is something I’m craving. It has Jamba Juice vibes and you can water it down to your preference if you don’t like a thick juice. I make some kind of variation of this once a week!
• 1 cup kale (stems removed, packed)
• 1 apple (Granny Smith or Fuji work well; core removed, chopped)
• 1 tsp fresh ginger (peeled, roughly chopped — adjust to taste)
• 6–8 mint leaves (fresh and optional)
• 1 cup cold water or coconut water
• Juice of ½ lemon or lime (balances the greens)
• And 1 full dropper of stevia
Super warm, super stay put winter socks
A sock is a sock is a sock right?!! That’s what I thought until I tried Quince’s Merino Wool socks. Who knew my feet could be this toasty in winter! I’ve tried alpaca socks and my feet were still cold. Also they would slide off and turn to the left and right and omg they were so annoying. These socks have kind of like an arch band but not too tight? They don’t slide off or wiggle left and right. I had no idea how many years I had put up with the inconvenience of socks that didn’t keep me warm and also ended up with heel side up or slid down my foot. Wowza. Also I stepped on a wet spot at my brother’s house and it dried up pretty quickly! I was again, in shock. They aren’t as expensive or as tight as Bombas or Darn Tough socks either!
How am I waxing poetic about socks? I’m still not done. I did a lot of research. The last thing I love is that they come in a four pack of all black socks. The last thing I want to do is try to pair different colored socks. One less thing to think about and challenge myself with come laundry day!
Why your dog would make the perfect influencer
I have a friend of a friend who has about 400k followers on tik tok and a YouTube page and makes 10k per sponsored video post. This is just to say there’s so much money to be made in the influencer space. BUT you say, you don’t want to end up a famous meme, right?! I get it. There’s a lot of haters out there. Believe me, I only have less than 2k on my dating advice Tik Tok and they come after me. You want to remain anonymous? You want to protect your family and have your privacy? You don’t want anyone bullying you or your family or making AI generated videos and pics of you or your family?
Yes, yes, yes.
This is why your pup would be the perfect influencer. Bully the pup! He won’t know or care. Hide the family and hide yourself! Everyone loves a dog and a funny animal video. So yeah, just a side hustle idea for the new year featuring man’s best friend! At least maybe he can pay for his own Farmer’s Dog food eventually?!? 🤣
Anyways Happy New Year!
