1. Drink water. I want to drink it. Lots of it. Whether its in with my green tea or on its own, just sitting there in a glass, I want to be able to drink enough water to keep my body and skin hydrated. I like to think working on the inside can help achieve something on the outside too.
2. Eat healthily. What you eat affects not only your health & weight but your skin too. I want to improve all three aspects and use a healthy diet to get both my skin and weight back on track. Its time to shift the weight that the stress of uni left me with. This is the year of being happy with my body!
3. Cut off the locks. I have long hair. Terribly long hair. It can be hard to maintain and I can be quite lazy. I suit shoulder length hair more then I do long. And I love a shorter style. It can be SO refreshing to give it the chop. So I want to get it cut and preferably dyed a light blonde with it. I haven't been a light blonde since the age of four. Something here needs to be corrected.
4. Finish more products. My stash is unbelievable. As a shopaholic, I can tell you I have so much stuff tucked away it can be slightly overwhelming. And this year I want to get through a bulk of it. I want to be able to come to the end of that year lightening the load of my 'beyond ridiculous' stash as I so call it and discover some gems at the same time. Thats the plan anyway...
5. Nail my skin care routine. My skin loves drama. I solve one matter and out pops another. It likes living on the edge, you could say. When you have skin that is dry, dehydrated and sensitive all rolled into one, it can be quite difficult. And terribly annoying too. I go through products like its water trying to find something my skin loves. I have a few miracle workers and I'm nearly there, but still it needs perfecting - And this year I want to nail it and have a skin care routine that I love completely.

What are your beauty resolutions? Any of yours match mine? I would love to hear from you!

All over the skin care routine, I have combination which actually does my head in! This leads to me having to use a different type of cleanser, moisturiser & night/ eye cream. I've used Biotherm quite a bit this year but still am not 100% with it! I'm all up for paying more for products that I know will work but unfortunately skin care is a whole other ball game. I started my blog as a New Years resolution :) take a look if you want? Anyway love your blogs so I look forward to the next installment x
ReplyDeleteI feel you girl. I am completely with you! Skin care can be insane. Its like living in a soap opera! Haha. I can't seem to find the link to your blog. Pop it below and I will give it a sneaky peak. Good luck with it! :)
DeleteLike the pun haha (even if it wasn't intentional!) link is below, also (as I'm new!) am I supposed to link my blog or something when I comment on things? (Insert awkward newbi face here) http://charlotte-louise-t.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/so-around-5am-on-new-years-day-i.html?m=1
DeleteHiiiiya! I saw that pun once I had posted the reply and I was like 'Smooth move' - Complimenting myself, not so smooth! Haha. Yep link it uuuup babe! So people can come over and see your blog too! We like spreading the love here. I will pop on over! :) xx
DeleteMine are very similar to yours, especially the drink more water and finish off old products! Can't wait to see your hair after you go for the shop, hope you'll be showing us x
ReplyDeleteClaire | AgentSmyth
Don't you worry! I will be showing you with pride. Definitely going to be showing off the new do! :) xx
DeleteI definitely need to use up products! I've got so many unopened ones in my stash too!

I know. Its SO painful. You see it, you want it, you buy it and put it in the que behind all your other unused products. Its the circle of life! :P xx
DeleteThese are great, I really need to drink more water & look after my hair more :) xx
ReplyDeletehttp://insaneaboutmakeup.blogspot.co.uk/
Yep. I need to do the same. Time to do something about this I think! xx
DeleteI need to drink a LOT of water as well - I usually skive off with just three or so glasses a *baaaaad*. And nail a proper skin care routine, including hand and foot creams.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so with you on hand and foot care routines. I basically need to insert a body skin care routine into this whole resolution! Haha. Great idea! :) xx
DeleteMine is pretty much the same as yours! :D

You know what they say - Great minds think a like. We have great minds :P xx
DeleteI totally agree with your chop off the locks resolution, a change of hair style can be so lovely but I'm terrified of the hairdressers as I've never left with what I wanted cos I'm too scared to stop them cutting loads off, it's daft!
ReplyDeleteGin & Giggles
Its NOT daft missy. We all have fears! I went for years without chopping my long hair off. I did a trim here and there and it was cool. But I was scared to go short, but I wanted to have a change. And I absolutely fell in love with wearing a shorter hair style on myself. Plus hair grows back! :) xx
DeleteMe too! I need to finish more products before buying new ones. Especially my nail polishes. I think I have 5 slightly different shades of purple and blues. It will be a miracle if I go though all of them!
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to learn contouring and highlighting. It looks so simple, but I don't think I can pull it off.
May from La Vie En May
I think it would be a miracle for me to get through a nail polish bottle too. I don't think its possible. They just last so loooong. OOoh - Nice goal. I like it. Sure you can. I think anyone can pull off a good contour, its all about finding the right shade! xx
Deleteyour photos are beautiful! just had the biggest nosy at all your posts. Definitely with you on the drinking water one. & love the hair one too, my hair is so boring at the moment & could definitely do with a bit of a change xx
ReplyDeleteOooh thank you! Your comment makes me SO happy. I am one happy lady! Lets do this cut thing togetherrr! Sounds like we both need to inject a bit of fun into our hair! xx
DeleteMy beauty resolution for this year is to try and take better care of my hair! I've been trying to drink more water too - so far so good! x
