Good evening, morning, afternoon, insomnia stricken early morning!
I thought this would be a great post to do since I am extremely lazy when it comes to certain aspects of beauty so needed a kick up the back side to stop me from being so lazy! So here it goes, my beauty resolutions!
Hair
1) Deep Condition
I am so very lazy when it comes to hair care. I am definitely a shampoo, condition and leave to dry girl and have discovered that my hair doesn't appreciate it! So I have purchased some leave in deep conditioner and am aiming to use it once a week! I am using a Tresemmé Split Remedy (£5.75 from Boots!) and thus far its proven to be great. I am not expecting it to cure split ends but it does reduce the 'ratty' feel of them!
2) Get it cut!
I have never got regular hair cuts and have tended to leave it to the very last minute! But now that my hair is getting long again, after a disastrous decision to cut it very short, I have decided to get regular trims! Even if its just a trim every 6 weeks I know it will keep my hair healthy and let it grow better too!
3) Stop dying it
I went through a faze of dying my hair every other week after another disastrous debacle when I dyed it red... (very questionable decision in hindsight) It is now very close to my natural colour and I am pledging to leave it so it can repair itself after months of damage :(
Beauty
4) Cleanse!
I have never used a cleanser to take my make up off always choosing to use a wipe but after the amount of raving reviews about Emma Hardies cleanser I have ordered it and am waiting for it to arrive! I am very excited for this as it is the first 'high end' regime product I have ever purchased! If you have used this let me know in the comments or on my twitter to let me know what you think about it!
5) Moisturise
Similarly to the previous one I am lazy when it comes to moisturising! I only ever use it when I am getting ready in the morning! I am currently using the No. 7 day and night creams and I can't say enough good things about it. It is very affordable and one pot lasts a long time so would highly recommend it!
6) Regular eyebrow wax
This has been implemented for a few months already but is something that is still very new to my life. Before my aunt used to pluck my brows for me and that was all I ever needed until I stumbled across the Benefit Brow Bar. Now I have a wax and tint every month and I don't know where I would be without it! They shape them depending on what suits your face and will wax in a way to enhance growth in places that need to be filled ect! A wax and tint does come in at £18 but they have a great rewards programme that makes it worth it! I am lucky that my mumma pays for mine but I'm pretty sure thats just a ruse so that I go home to see her once a month!
General
7) Drink more water
I am pledging to drink just water during the day! I wake up and drink a pint and then drink it as i would any other drink during the day (bar the essential cup of tea). I can already tell the difference in my skin and myself! The cheapest cure to any skin dilemma!
8) Take vitamins
Not primarily beauty but it makes me feel good so I'm throwing this in here! I am anaemic and have folic acid deficiency so am taking regular medication for that so alongside eating food with high levels of iron and folic acid I am pledging to take more vitamins to keep my immune system up and make sure my body is getting everything it needs! Beauty comes from the inside people!
9) Do yoga!
Another random one but I love this form of exercise! I can't do a great amount of sport since having the third operation on my knee so beside the regular long walk/run I love doing yoga. Its so calming as well as a good core conditioning work out and it doesn't feel like you've done a whole exercise programme after!
10) Remove negative people!
A nice end to this resolution list but nonetheless an important addition. I have discovered after a series of unfortunate events that you cannot dwell on or keep negativity in your life if you want to remain happy. Get that bad energy out and you will feel a hundred times better! Think of it as Feng Shui for your life! Organise one and the rest will fall into place!
Hope you all have enjoyed this! If you guys have done one or will now do one let me know I would love to have a read and see what your resolutions are!
Love and Hugs
