If you’re still looking for a New Year’s resolution or just a simple goal to hit in 2025, Ally Love has a suggestion. The Peloton instructor, Love Squad CEO, and TODAY Show contributor has one thing at the top of her task list for 2025: finish a lip gloss. “I have never in my entire life [done this],” she tells PS. But this year she’s focused on what’s realistically achievable, trading unsustainable resolutions for more doable action items.
In doing so, Love hopes that her goals offer up small joys and an even deeper appreciation for the present.
When you are conscious about finishing something as mundane as your lip gloss, it trickles down into other aspects of your life, Love says. “These are moments for you to show up, to be who you say you are. You say you’re someone who will start something and finish it. I do that with my lip gloss,” Love says. “I know it sounds so weird, but I am so excited.”
With this mindset, it’s no secret why Love was asked to join Ulta Beauty’s Joy Council in an effort to bring more light and levity to the world in small, but very real ways. “Small things create a huge impact,” Love says.
In the theme of small joys, we asked Love to share some of the must-have products and life hacks she uses when she needs an extra boost.
