Ah, new year’s. Time for resolutions! I can’t remember which blog said that they aren’t resolutions when you get older, they’re decisions.
And yes, if you noticed on my sidebar I have a list of goals, and yes, none of them changed from last year. Sad, pathetic, terrible. Yes yes yes. I agree to all that.
But this year just feels different. Maybe it’s because I’m finally taking living on my own seriously. Probably because now that my place is amazingly clean, I feel super compelled to keep it that way. This year, I’m going to actually decorate the place. And it’ll be more fun when Andrew lives with me. [And more motivation to keep the place clean]. I’m feeling more like Carrie Bradshaw now, and I want to stay that way.
So one of my new decisions is to take my life more seriously. Become what I envision my life to be, and aspire to be. Sure, I still want to be fabulous and more like a glamorous tv show. I do realize that I might have to come to terms with the fact that I don’t necessarily have the money for the glamorous life, but I can act like I do. And if I just wear all the shoes that I already own instead of buying new ones, I’ll be fine. But I still want to have days where I lounge in bed just because I don’t feel like getting out, other than to grab a cuppa, and maybe a new book.
A lot of my new decisions are coming with my 101 in 1001 list as well [which I still haven’t completed]. My skin has always been an issue with me, and I really have no one to blame but myself, as I can be pretty shady when it comes to care for it. So, this year, I’m really going to buckle down and find a solution that works for me and stick with it. I really think that I’m going to stick with Vichy, and maybe even get my makeup brands under control. I want to start finishing some of the beauty stuff that I have. Like my perfume. Likewise with my scalp and skin. I’ve been suffering from eczema on my scalp, and I think that I’m finally getting it cleared up. Messing around with different brands, and types worked on my hair for a bit, but then it gradually made things worse. I’ve gone back to using an old, trusted brand and I think it’s working!
I want to make my blog better as well. I sometimes feel like I should change what I write about, or add more outfit pictures, or get a better camera, or post more about the make up that I don’t have the money to constantly be buying [even though I wish I did]. But then I realize, that just isn’t me. I enjoy writing about my daily life and thoughts about random nothingness. Even if I don’t have the traffic or the comments that some of my favourite bloggers do, who cares? I like what I do. And that’s enough for me. But that’s not going to stop me from possibly getting a professional make-over one day.
