New Years Resolutions for 2013

I have a few suggestions for resolutions for 2013. The key to completing a resolution to focus on one instead of a long list, to set smaller goals throughout the year and to not give up on your goal no matter how bad you think you are doing. For more ideas see last year's post.

1.Use cuticle oil
Cuticle oil helps nails grow longer and stronger. It softens the cuticles and moisturizes your nail. It should be applied before the base coat of your manicure.     

2. Floss more often
When was the last time you flossed? You should floss everyday. It helps clean in between your teeth making it less likely for you to develop a gum infection or bacteria buildup.

3. Clean your makeup brushes
Makeup brushes are easy place for bacteria to buildup. You might even use them for more than one product or share them with your friends. If they are not cleaned periodically (once a week), it can cause your skin to breakout. You can wash them with soap or baby shampoo for a gentler touch.

4. Do some volunteer work
This doesn't mean you have to commit to doing something once a week. You should research volunteer opportunities that interest you such as a walk for charity, planting in a garden or giving meals to the hungry.

5. Read more
Is there a book you always wanted to read but never got around to it? Books turned into movies or movies turned into books count as well. You can get more out of a book than you can out of a movie or TV show.

New Years Resolutions you need to make for 2012

1. Wear Sunscreen Everyday 
Wearing sunscreen is one of the easiest, most effective ways to prevent future signs of aging. Most moisturizers include SPF making it super easy to wear everyday!

2.  Travel Somewhere New 
Explore your community, state, country or world! If you live in the city visit the countryside, and vice versa.

3.  Try a new haircut 
Even Jennifer Aniston sported a different look in 2011, don't be afraid to try a new look.

 
4. Adopt a puppy  
There are many puppies that need of homes. Pets help you have less stress and they are so ah-dorable!

5. Don't go to bed with makeup on 
Makeup overnighters are the worst! You look like a raccoon when you wake up and your skin is more susceptible to acne.

6.  Take a bubble bath
An easy way to have some relaxing alone time is by taking a bubble bath. 

7.  Try a new dish

8. Try a new makeup look
Don't wait for Halloween or New Year's Eve to try something a little out of the ordinary, try new products and update your look.

9.  Write a note to someone you appreciate.
Yes, a handwritten note, it shows you took time out of your life to appreciate others.

10.  Drink more water
