Ready for a world wear yoga pants are for yoga.
I don’t stick to resolutions, I’m basic like that, and any “word of the year” I adopt sounds like it deserves to be painted on a chippy wood sign and hung in a modern farmhouse kitchen, but I love a good, insightful Alexis Schaetzle moment.

If you cross paths with me in 2025 and I’m wearing skinny jeans or talking about One Direction…mind your business, I tried.
