There’s something incredibly grounding about closing the door on one year and stepping into the next with clarity, intention, and a fresh perspective. Every December, I dedicate time to creating my vision board, reflecting on the past year, and choosing what I want to bring forward. And this year, my 2026 vision board feels different—more aligned, more personal, and more expansive than ever.

As I was pinning images, writing down goals, and gathering inspiration, I realized that 2025 taught me so much about consistency, wellness, personal boundaries, and growth. Now 2026 feels like the year of stepping into the highest version of myself—more confident, more intentional, more grounded, and definitely more glowing.


So grab a coffee or matcha, settle in, and let’s talk about my 2026 vision board, my biggest goals, and the 2025 wellness favorites I refuse to leave behind.


✨ My 2026 Vision Board Themes

My vision board this year is split into four big themes: wellness, career expansion, travel, and elevated everyday living. Each theme anchors the kind of energy I want to bring into 2026.

1. Wellness as a Non-Negotiable

2025 was such a wake-up call for routines. I learned that I function at 10x the level when I'm fueling my body well, moving consistently, and creating pockets of calm throughout the day.

My 2026 wellness vision:

  • Slow mornings with skincare, hydration, and affirmations

  • More red light therapy

  • Real, nourishing meals and less “grab whatever is closest” - Really leaning towards the carnivore diet

  • Better sleep rituals (no screens after 9 pm, more magnesium, dim lighting)

  • Weekly movement I genuinely enjoy—Pilates, long walks, hot yoga, and light weight exercises

This year isn’t about extremes—it’s about sustainable habits that make me feel my best every single day.


2. Expanding My Career & Creativity

On my board: moodboards, cameras, screenshots of analytics, and quotes like “Consistency compounds.”

My 2026 creative goals:

  • Grow my instagram + create more story telling reels, and day in my life/vlogs

  • Nurture my LTK community with more styling videos and aesthetic content

  • Land brand partnerships that actually align with who I am

  • Build my blog into a go-to destination for style, beauty, wellness, and routines

  • Create more long-form content that feels personal and cinematic

  • Launch something of my own (TBD but I feel it coming)

I want 2026 to be the year I stop playing small and start showing up fully.


3. Travel & New Experiences

This year’s vision board is covered with beaches, mountains, wellness resorts, European cafés, romantic getaways, and girls’ trip inspo.

Where I’m manifesting for 2026:

  • Nantucket, Cape Cod, Portland for the Summer

  • A wellness retreat (Arizona or Tulum)

  • A snowy weekend getaway in the mountains - Aspen?

  • A romantic getaway with Jimmy - Anywhere

Travel gives me creativity, perspective, and space to think. I want more of that.


4. Elevated Everyday Living

My 2026 vibe: soft, intentional, organized, luxurious-but-relaxed.

This looks like:

  • A home that feels calm and decluttered

  • Fresh bedding, candle-lit evenings, and tidy spaces

  • Better time management

  • More reading, more journaling, more quiet moments

  • Dressing well for myself, even on random Tuesdays

It’s all about romanticizing life, not waiting for special occasions.


🎯 My Biggest Goals for 2026

Alongside the aesthetic vision board, I wrote down my very real, tangible goals—the ones I can measure and stay accountable to.

✨ Personal Goals

  • Stick to my morning routine (skin, hydration, movement, mindful moments)

  • Build a consistent nighttime routine

  • Be more intentional with my phone and screen time

  • Prioritize mental clarity through journaling and weekly resets

  • Take myself on monthly “solo dates”

✨ Wellness & Fitness Goals

  • Move my body 5 days a week

  • Increase strength + flexibility

  • Prioritize gut health and hydration

  • Track my cycle and sync my routines

  • Experiment with new wellness practices (lymphatic drainage, red light therapy, etc.)

✨ Career & Creative Goals

  • Consistent IG & LTK uploads

  • Hit major analytics milestones on LTK

  • Build an email list + send monthly newsletters

  • Pitch and land long-term partnerships

  • Monetize my blog more strategically

  • Create a digital or physical product

✨ Lifestyle Goals

  • Declutter my home every quarter

  • Create more meal-prepped, nutrient-rich weeks

  • Plan 2–3 intentional trips

  • Cultivate friendships with people who inspire and elevate

  • Say “yes” and “no” more intentionally


🌿 My 2025 Wellness Favorites I’m Bringing Into 2026

While vision boards and goals are all about newness, I also love looking at what truly worked for me this year—what supported my well-being, what made me feel good, and what brought actual results.

These are the forever favorites that are absolutely coming with me into 2026:

1. My Daily Supplements & Rituals

  • Magnesium before bed

  • Greens + electrolytes first thing in the morning

  • Collagen in my coffee

  • A high-quality probiotic

  • Stretching or mini Pilates session before I start work

These tiny habits made such a difference in my energy and digestion.


2. Skincare I Refuse to Give Up

  • My Lendava moisturizer for the perfect glow

  • Ilia Serums for that fresh-skin look

  • Consistent SPF every single morning

  • Gentle exfoliation 2 times a week

  • Ice rollers and gua sha for lymphatic drainage

  • Red light therapy 5 times a week

My skin has never looked healthier, and I’m not messing with what works.


3. My Simple, Nourishing Meal Staples

  • Protein + greens + healthy fats every meal

  • Homemade matcha or coffee instead of grabbing it out every day

  • Breakfast that actually keeps me full (protein shake or eggs)

2025 taught me how much my mood and productivity rely on steady nutrition.


4. Movement Routines That Feel Good

  • Long outdoor walks - my favorite!

  • Pilates reformer classes

  • Stretching before bed

  • Low-impact movement that supports my hormones

Goodbye punishment workouts—hello movement that feels genuinely enjoyable.


5. Lifestyle Habits That Changed Everything

  • Weekly resets (laundry, fridge clean-out, planning)

  • Putting the phone away after 9pm

  • Setting work hours as a content creator

  • Taking one day a week completely off

  • Romanticizing the little things—cozy lighting, clean sheets, skincare moments

These small habits brought so much structure and softness into 2025.


✨ Final Thoughts: Stepping Into 2026 With Purpose

I feel like 2026 is going to be a year of expansion, alignment, and grounded confidence. The vision board is up, the goals are set, and I’m bringing so many beautiful habits and favorites from 2025 into the new year.

This year, I’m choosing:

  • Consistency over intensity

  • Growth over perfection

  • Intention over chaos

  • Wellness over burnout

  • Self-trust over self-doubt

And I’m so excited to take you along with me.
