✨ The First Weekend of the Year Deserves Something Special!

January 02, 2025

Hey there,

Happy New Year! 🎉

The first weekend of 2025 is here, and I don’t know about you, but it feels like we’ve all been in a bit of a holiday haze these past few days—catching up with friends, soaking in the Christmas cheer, and recharging for the year ahead. Whether you’ve spent the last few days setting goals (check out these 35 easy-to-keep resolutions!), relaxing, or just enjoying the last bit of downtime, it’s time to ease back into life, whether that means work, school, or both.

I had the best time reconnecting with friends and soaking up the holiday vibes. But this weekend, I’m keeping it low-key—maybe a trip to the beach or a chill movie day to ease back into the routine. I totally get it if you’re also looking to take it easy!

But if you’re ready to jump into the new year with some excitement, here are a few events to help kick off January in style:
