S&B New Year's Resolutions

[BrianButterfield]

1. I will NOT continually waste my money on 'designer' hair products from Boots. I do not need any more thickening lotions, volumising mousses, serums, sprays (sea salt spray? WTF was I thinking?), texturisers or anything else. It is all SHIT and makes my hair look like it hasn't been washed for a week. All I need is GOOD shampoo and conditioner (pref. Aveda - which I could afford if I stopped spunking cash on Boots rubbish) and Elnett.

Throw away all my old pants and wear nice undies instead.

Wear skirts more ofen.

Wear more accessories.

Buy something only if it goes with something else. Ebay all the new clothes with tags I have never worn. And shoes.

Stop looking down at my tummy wondering where the hell did that come from!

I did the undies thing last year. I now only have about 15 pairs put they are all ones that fit, that are comfortable and that look half decent.

but

get rid of horrid pants and pants that are too small
try and iron twice a week rather than a massive pile
stop checking my phone for texts every 15min lol
go to the gym that I pay stupid money for at leasst 3 times a week!
get crafty with my little girl
going to bed early without thinking im missing out on something!
oh and get some spark back into our love life and surprise hubbie

1. I will buy more handbags.
2. I will shift the last stone.
3. I will not drink in January (I will break this one).

Over the last few years have built up a good wardrobe so am aiming to buy no new clothes at all in 2012. (Want to get good cost per wear for items I own rather than always looking for the next thing) I then plan to only buy a few key good quality pieces a year after that.

Have become a Shellac addict, so plan to indulge myself with 2 x Shellac a month.

Yes Neals Yard Remedies - I got so hooked I became a consultant and now get great discount and make money.

Dr Haushka does fab concealer among other things,UNE from Boots has great make up (am waiting for more form Neals Yard in March) Have got the 'Naked' shampoo, conditioner, bath stuff from Boots also for me and the kids when i'm being more frugal - it's often on 3 for 2. DH has had some Bulldog stuff which was fab too.

More natural has made my skin better, my pores look better and the products smell amazing due to essential oils and not dodgy fake 'parfum' so can really uplife your spirits too

Everyday taking make up off, showering etc feels like a treat!

But i too have become a Shellac addict One thing at a time

An giovanni organics hair foam is flippin amazing stuff - the best hair thickener, mouse thing i've ever had and lasts for ages.

And pit rok deodrant is a blummin revelation - mine has lasted 10 months now and still going strong - no nasty chemicals but no stinky armpits!!!!

Will be coming back with a v long list later.

1. I will get properly fitted for new bras instead of wearing the manky assortment in my underwear drawer.

1. I will use up the ridiculous number of shampoos and body lotions that are kicking about the house before I buy any more.

1. I will give myself a manicure once a week

going to stop cut down drinking wine, lose at least a stone, get into all the smart shirts which I can't fasten at the moment and get some sharp business suits for work!

love Shellac :) have regularly. wine is my problem :(

1. Oil cleansing (already started and skin looks loads better)

1. No buying crap cheap 'this will do' clothes.

1. Wear make up (already started, feels a bit weird though)

1. Drink enough water.

1. Eat more healthily (not dieting as bfing newborn)

I am going to get back into my pre-DC1 clothes. I hate being a size 18. I was a 14/16 in my pre-motherhood days and I want to get back to that size.
I am going to do my nails more often. I had a shellac manicure on Christmas Eve, which looked gorgeous while it lasted (but that's another story).
I will get my eyebrows waxed or threaded regularly. Makes me look much more groomed than if I let them grow in.

Im going to lose the 2 stone of baby weight I still have 17 months after giving birth.

Spend a night a week on general maintenance/grooming.

I will put a semi permanent colour in my hair every month and get it cut every 6 weeks.

Get a massage monthly.

Carry on wearing assorted garments and scarves completely out of tune with fashion as Im an arty type and it goes with the territory

where do you get the castor oil from for the cleansing method, or do you use other oils, sorry I expect this has been covered elsewhere ad nauseum...

Ooh, nice thread!

1. Follow GI eating plan, and stop stuffing face with white bread and biccies.
2. Groom myself in front of TV (nails mon, feet weds...)
3. Stop looking shit at work (see above).
4. When I go out clothes shopping for me, look in adult shops and not waste time and money on clothes for DD.
5. Smile more, whinge less (Im so tired, no help, no money, boo-hoo).
6. Take up driving again (nursery run in pissing rain is no fun).

Not wear black or white.

Sort out underwear - bin knickers that were intended for a few weeks post-birth. sooooo comfy

Tinted moisturiser, mascara and lipgloss daily.

Get colours done.

I will actually use the products that are hiding in my bathroom cabinet. Body scrub, foot scrub, body lotion, face masks, intensive conditioner, fake tan, nail oil etc
