Not looking for a new year new me kind of thing, unless thats what your doing. More like I want to do more of this and less of that.

Curate my social media and unfollow the irrelevant
Unsubscribe from endless company emails
Walk/move more
Lift weights
Maintain friendships/contact with people
Read more, scroll less
Purge all subscriptions for 12 months. There's enough free stuff out there
Declutter the house and sell on Vinted

Which oil did you use?

Just a cheap argan oil. Nothing fancy. The very ends only.

Work on expanding my friendships. I will be braver, e.g. if I meet someone I click with I will take the plunge & invite them for coffee / a walk etc. I will work to be less offended in the context of social things, e.g. when I’m not included in something.

Drink more wine
Do less housework
Spend more time dicking about on Mumsnet
Eat more cake

3rd year in a row I've made this resolution and I've never let myself down 👍

My one and only resolution is to say NO to anything that will make me feel like crap 🙂

I havent decided yet. But last year I decided to oil the very ends of my hair every night before bed, my hair has grown loads, never looked better!

So if anyone is looking for an easy self care resolution I stuck to this religiously (well 95%) and the results are great!

To stop buying things on impulse.... also get more mobile as I'm fed up with struggling to walk

Make my house a home I love, my depression took over and my house suffered. But it’s getting there

I left a very toxic job (hence the depression) so I’m looking forward to starting somewhere fresh.

Not usually one for making NY resolutions, but this year have made just the one.
Enjoy buying cookery books, but don't use them enough, so going to cook a completely new recipe every week.
Not the most exciting resolution, but one I will keep to I think, and enjoy doing

That's good, very manageable and enjoyable
