Our Ins & Outs for 2025

Originally Published Jan 07, 2025Updated Jan 08, 2025

The new year is here, and you know what that means - time for us to spill the tea on what's giving main character energy in 2025 (at least we hope)! We've been taking notes, manifesting the good vibes, and we're ready to share what's in and what's totally last year. Grab your favorite drink, get cozy, and let's manifest this year together! #2025Ready

IN

  • Romanticizing your actual life (not just for the aesthetic)
  • Journaling with your besties (group manifestation is real!)
  • Solo dates that you actually document
  • Random acts of friendship - sending your bestie that photo that made you think of them
  • Cozy girl book clubs
  • Creating IRL vision boards (digital just doesn't hit the same)
  • Setting boundaries (but making them cute)
  • Actually printing your camera roll (yeah yeah, we had to add that one in there!)
  • Comfort over corporate - WFH fits that spark joy
  • Collecting physical memories (ticket stubs, polaroids, little moments)
  • Having a signature self-care ritual
  • Living room dance parties
  • Intentional phone backgrounds
  • Sending handwritten letters (main character behavior)
  • Analog hobbies that don't need a charger
  • Friend dates > doom scrolling
  • Making playlists for every mood
  • Being the friend who always takes photos
  • Unhinged group chats with your day ones
  • Tea parties (yes, really!) ✨
  • Having a designated photo wall
  • Being openly enthusiastic about everything
  • Seasonal bucket lists
  • Random celebration dinners (because why not?)
  • Actually using your PTO

OUT

  • Gatekeeping your happy places
  • Doom scrolling past midnight
  • Being "too cool" to document the moment
  • Saving memories "for later" (later is now, bestie!)
  • Empty inbox zero culture
  • Keeping your favorite photos trapped in your phone
  • Waiting for the "perfect moment"
  • Peak productivity culture
  • Phone stress
  • Competing for who's more exhausted
  • Only taking aesthetic photos
  • Saying "we should catch up" without setting a date
  • Being embarrassed about your interests
  • Living for the weekend
  • Skipping lunch breaks
  • Being "too busy" for your pals
  • Digital hoarding your memories
  • Overthinking your social media presence
  • Fast fashion hauls
  • Being chronically online
  • Calling everything "cringe"

Trends may come and go, but making memories that last? That's forever material right there! Here's to a 2025 filled with real moments, genuine connections, and living your main character energy to the fullest! #PictaPerfect

Now excuse us while we go manifest all of this into existence ... Want to join? 💫
