Including the wellness ring Jennifer Aniston is “addicted” to.
While some may think New Year’s goals are puerile and pointless, I beg to differ. Even if you find yourself abandoning your resolutions just a few months in, you’d be further along than if you’d never tried at all—and who says you can’t start again? Whether you end up reading for all 365 days or only working out for three months, I commend you for latching onto the determination, outlook, and hope the New Year brings.
I’m prioritizing the present in 2025, while building the life I desire through consistent habits. Below, you can discover some of the products helping me achieve my goals, including a celebrity-loved ring and cushiony sneakers.

Oura Ring 4
$499 at Amazon
With my future brother-in-law waxing poetic about his Oura Ring, and Jennifer Aniston saying she’s “addicted” to it, I knew I had to snag one. I did so in 2024, but it’s coming with me into 2025, since the discrete accessory tracks my sleep, fitness, stress, and more. These insights help inform my lifestyle, offering me with metrics on how to achieve my health goals in practical ways.
On Cloud 5 Sneakers
$140 at Zappos
I’m not a runner, and nor do I plan on becoming one this year; however, I am placing importance on living a soft life. Part of that means giving myself the permission to enjoy comfortable shoes without feeling like I should be more dressed up. The On Cloud 5 sneakers are a great place to start, since they’re fashionable, supportive, and Jennifer Lopez-approved. The slip-on design comes in tons of colors and will execute a mid-day coffee run just as well as a Barry’s fitness class.
Kreyól Essence Save Our Scalp Hair Serum
$42 at Amazon
With my wedding fast approaching, I want the best mane I can get. I’ve decided to trust Kreyól Essence with my hair goals, relying on its scalp-loving hair serum. The lightweight formula includes Haitian black castor oil, which makes strands appear thicker, fuller, and shinier. I’ve only used it for a week thus far, but I’m already in love with the smell and non-greasy feel.
Atomic Habits by James Clear
$14 at Amazon
I couldn’t hit you with a New Year’s list of must-haves without calling out Atomic Habits by James Clear. IMO, it’s the most important product on this list, since this book changed how I looked at what I could do. With tips on how to tackle multiple habits at once and getting yourself excited to do the work, you’re going to want to read it multiple times—so BRB while I do the same.
Hatch Restore 2 Sunrise Alarm Clock
$170 at Amazon
I received this sunrise alarm clock as a gift, and since I’m determined to get my sleep schedule on lock, it couldn’t have been more perfect. The machine includes everything needed for a successful unwind, including a dimmable display, sleep sounds, and phone-free controls. After all, sleep is self-care, restoring cognitive, emotional, and physical functions.
Aritzia Cozy Fleece Boyfriend Balloon Sweatpants
$75 at Aritzia.com
I’m not saying these Aritzia sweatpants are essential for mastering 2025, but they did bring me a heck of a lot of joy in the last few weeks of 2024. I’m looking to channel that same happiness with every wear, since it’s about the small things in life. Look forward to a relaxed fit, barrel leg, high waist, and snuggly midweight fleece.
