UNICORN BLOG
Who says resolutions have to be serious? Why strive for boring goals when you can embrace your inner unicorn? Whether you’re enjoying glittery breakfasts or adopting a mystical new hobby, 2025 is about leaving the ordinary behind and embracing the absurd.
Perfect your unicorn prance
Walking is so pedestrian when you could prance like a unicorn. This year, make it your mission to move with majesty and whimsy. Whether you’re striding through the park or weaving through crowded streets, imagine you’re elegantly trotting across a shimmering rainbow. It’s not just about the movement – hold your head high, lift your feet with exaggerated flair, and maybe even toss in a joyful whinny or two. Sure, you might get a few odd looks, but isn’t that what being a unicorn is all about?
Glitterify your breakfast
Why settle for a dull bowl of cereal when you could start your day with a meal fit for a unicorn? Edible glitter is surprisingly easy to find and can transform your toast, porridge, or even your tea into a shimmering masterpiece. For extra magic, experiment with rainbow-coloured sprinkles, marshmallows, or glittery jams. Not only will your breakfast sparkle, but it’s the perfect way to set a magical tone for the day ahead.
Wear a unicorn horn at all times
No unicorn is complete without a horn, so make it a rule to always have one ready. It could be a glittery cardboard cone, a homemade creation adorned with sequins, or even a party hat. Wear it at work meetings, during grocery runs, or even while walking the dog. If anyone asks about it, simply say, “Oh, this? Every day is a unicorn day!”
Turn your commute into a magical ride
Commuting can be tedious, but not if you pretend you’re riding an enchanted unicorn. Picture yourself galloping through clouds and leaping over rainbows while stuck in traffic. Add sound effects – neighing at red lights or whinnying at pedestrians – to really commit to the fantasy. If you’re on a train or bus, refer to it loudly as your “enchanted carriage” and act as though it’s ferrying you to a mythical kingdom. It’s a silly way to make the mundane feel magical.
Invent your own unicorn language
Why speak in plain English when you could create your own whimsical unicorn dialect? Replace common phrases with neighs, whinnies, or cryptic terms like “sparkle sparkle.” Instead of saying “Good morning,” try “Neigh there, friend.” Write down your favourite phrases in a “Unicorn Language Guide” to keep the magic alive. By the end of the year, you’ll be fluent in a language no one else understands.
Only use rainbows for exercise
Unicorns are far too majestic to jog in dreary weather, so make it a rule to exercise only when there’s a rainbow nearby. This might mean going on spontaneous runs after a rainstorm or investing in a rainbow-patterned yoga mat. If rainbows are scarce, you could carry your own – a colourful umbrella or scarf works wonders. The goal isn’t just fitness but ensuring every workout feels like a journey through a magical landscape.
Take up unicorn yoga
Forget downward dog – this year, it’s all about unicorn poses. Create your own whimsical yoga flow with moves like the Glittering Horn (stretching your arms forward like a proud unicorn) or the Prancing Hoof (high-knee jogging in place). Add sparkly accessories or pastel-coloured yoga mats for extra flair. Invite friends to join your unicorn yoga sessions and encourage them to dress the part. It’s not just exercise; it’s a magical bonding experience.
Chase clouds
What’s at the end of the rainbow? Only one way to find out – chase those clouds! Whenever you see one that looks remotely mystical, set off in pursuit. It doesn’t matter if you’re on foot, bike, or scooter; the sillier your chase, the better. Bring along a bag of glitter to scatter triumphantly if you “catch” the cloud. It’s a ridiculous yet surprisingly joyous way to inject spontaneous adventure into your day.
Claim your garden as a magical realm
Every unicorn needs a kingdom, so declare your garden, balcony, or even a windowsill your realm. Add tiny decorations like glittery castles, rainbow flags, or miniature unicorn figurines. Name it something suitably grand – perhaps “Sparkletonia” or “The Land of Eternal Glitter.” If squirrels or birds visit, consider them your enchanted subjects. It’s a fun way to embrace your inner unicorn.
Decorate your desk like a unicorn throne
Transform your work desk into a dazzling unicorn throne. Cover it with pastel colours, scatter sequins, and add a plush unicorn toy as your royal adviser. Replace your office chair with something more regal – perhaps draped in a glittery throw. Announce to co-workers that all decisions must now pass through “the throne” for approval.
Adopt a hobby that sounds mystical
When someone asks about your hobbies, why say “reading” when you could say “learning to charm rainbows” or “harnessing the power of moonlight”? This year, pick a completely fabricated mystical skill and fully commit to it. You don’t need to explain – the mystery is part of the charm.
Reply only in riddles
Unicorns are creatures of mystery, so this year, resolve to answer all questions with riddles. If someone asks where you’re going, reply with something like, “To the land where clouds kiss the sun.” When pressed for details, simply trot away. It’s confusing, and perfectly on-brand for a whimsical unicorn lifestyle.
Paint your toenails like unicorn hooves
Forget traditional pedicures – this year, your toenails should resemble shimmering unicorn hooves. Use metallic polish, glitter, and tiny gem stickers to achieve the look. If someone comments, confidently explain that hooves are so in right now.
Only drink "potion" beverages
Plain drinks are boring, so resolve to call every beverage you consume a “potion.” Tea becomes “Warmth Elixir,” lemonade is now “Sunshine Nectar,” and smoothies are “Rainbow Elixirs of Life.” Announce these names with dramatic flair, and don’t forget to swirl the drink before sipping, as though you’re unlocking its magical properties.
Create a unicorn call
Every unicorn needs a distinct call to summon fellow magical creatures. Spend time perfecting your unique unicorn noise – a mix of neighing, whinnying, and other sound effects. Use it liberally: when entering a room, calling friends, or even when finding something exciting on sale. Make it your signature sound.
Start a unicorn traffic patrol
Unicorns care about the flow of traffic (even magical ones), so create your own patrol. Use a rainbow wand to direct people crossing the road, or wave it dramatically to help someone find a parking spot. Don’t forget to wear a reflective sash with glittery unicorn stickers for “official” flair.
Bring unicorn energy to meetings
Transform every meeting you attend by injecting unicorn vibes. Whenever someone says something mundane like “We need to streamline this process,” respond with, “What would the unicorns do?” Offer solutions that include glitter or rainbow metaphors. By the end of the year, you might just become known as the team’s “Chief Unicorn Strategist.”
Host a "grazing hour" for friends
Unicorns love to graze on magical snacks, so why not host a grazing hour at your office or co-working studio? Lay out an array of pastel-coloured nibbles, rainbow cakes, and bowls of glitter-sprinkled popcorn. Insist that everyone refer to the event as a “unicorn feast,” and don’t let anyone leave without trying the enchanted cupcakes.
Make galloping your default speed
This year, resolve to gallop instead of walking whenever possible. Whether you’re heading to the kettle, dashing for a train, or strolling through the park, adopt the gait of a gallant unicorn. Add a flick of the wrist as though tossing your mane, and maybe even a little rear kick for dramatic effect.
End every conversation with unicorn blessings
Goodbyes are so last year. From now on, end every conversation with “Unicorn blessings.” Whether it’s a chat with your boss, a phone call with your mum, or a casual exchange with the postman, leave them with an air of mystery and magic.
To "be more unicorn" is to embrace the extraordinary in the everyday, finding magic in the mundane and spreading smiles wherever you go. It’s about celebrating your quirks, and adding a touch of sparkle to life’s everyday routines. Whether you’re galloping through the park or sprinkling glitter on your morning toast, being a unicorn reminds you to approach life with joy and playfulness.
