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

Build a consistent nighttime routine
Be more intentional with my phone and screen time

Hit major analytics milestones on LTK
Build an email list + send monthly newsletters

🌿 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.
