Ditching Resolutions in 2025

Now that the cookies are all baked and consumed, presents unwrapped, and holiday decor stowed away until next year, we can officially welcome in 2025. I know while I am sad to say goodbye to the holidays, there is something peaceful and renewing about getting my home (and day to day life) back in order and purging all the “stuff” from the season. 

Personally, I have never been a fan of making New Year’s resolutions in recent years, mainly because I would take the set ‘em and forget ‘em approach. I started off strong January 1, then begin to slip by mid month and as February and March roll in I found myself asking “what was my resolution again?”  I think we all have the best intentions when setting resolutions, whether it’s to workout more, cut back on sweets, meditate and so on, but what is a resolution if we don’t find value in changing our habits to achieve it? So this year consider this approach instead. 

In 2025, I encourage you to consider daily practices over a yearly resolution. For example, one of my daily practices I am committing to is to move my body for fun over obligation. So while I still fit in my regular workout or run, I will also add in a 5 minute playtime with my pups or a 10 minute stretch session while watching my favorite show.  

This year at Define we want to help you achieve your commitment to new, daily practices.  We are designing all our events and promotions with one thing in mind – you. We are kicking off our new year with our Winter Wellness Series, a two part pop-up event cycle learning all about how we can change the way we care for our skin daily. I am super excited for our Wellness happy hour on February 6th where our amazing estheticians will teach us all the ways we can make daily swaps in our diet to improve the quality of our skin (and still be able to enjoy pizza!).  Our elixir shot bar will be open and testers of all the skincare aids we offer at Define to make these new daily practices as easy as 1, 2, 3.  Did I mention free samples, event only discounts, and money off your next facial??? Yep, that’s included too.  Across the hall, our 2025 salon events will have you dancing, smiling and putting the “I can” into your haircare routine this year.  Our team is excited to bring back some of our Define basics from the old days so stay tuned for all those dates to come. 

Our goal is to help you fill your toolbox with easy ways to implement those new daily practices, leading to more measurable and attainable results vs. a year long commitment to change.  I know when I make small changes day by day, I have greater success in creating new habits that stick. So whether your daily practice is to move more, clean up your skincare routine or diet, or cut down your blow-dry time by going for that short cut you’ve been craving, we are here for you every step of the way. 

I hope as I implement my movement for fun this year, I have a chance to interact with more of you during your salon & spa visits even if just to say hello and catch up and help you with your new daily practices too. 

Wishing you a year full of renewed change and positivity,
