Happy New Year! I'm not one for making lofty resolutions, but with the turn of this new year, I feel the need to reevaluate my everyday habits and make some goals. I'm making them black & white and writing them down, in hopes that I will better follow through with them!
1. Focus on the positive. I used to think positivity or negativity were inherent personality traits and I was stuck with negativity. However, as I get older I'm realizing they're actually habits and if I want to be more positive, I need to actively work on it.
2. Shop smarter. I want to focus more on investing in quality, timeless pieces rather than trendy, "now" styles.
3. Take time for skincare. I'd like to ramp up my skincare routine. I want to take better care of both my face (facials, using anti-aging products) and my body (putting lotion on right after showering, exfoliating).
4. Keep in touch. I plan to do a better job of keeping in touch with friends and family on a more consistent basis.
5. Stay informed. I go through infrequent phases where I'm good about reading the newspaper, watching the news, etc, but I really want to make this a bigger part of my morning routine.
What are your resolutions for 2016?
xo, Annelise
