Easter renovators! Come one, come all

[HelgatheHairy]

After the brilliant success of our Christmas Countdown Princessing thread I'm starting a new thread to take us to Easter. From 1st Jan it's 108 days so there will be a countdown to this days.

This idea stems from the original princessing threads but has evolved to accommodate all aspects of beautifying, beauty, clothes, diet, exercise etc.

What we like to do is a list of what your planning on doing and working through it.

Links to follow.

Am I the only one who is still here?

I'm still here! Just hectic with half term

I've been utterly rubbish at keeping up with this thread as I started a new job in January and life got in the way. But now I am settled in the job I need to get back to some kind of routine. Obviously too late for this thread, but would be interested in a countdown to summer one maybe after Easter?

By the way, today I have:
Coloured my hair
Face scrub, mask & serum
Exfoliated and applied gradual tan
Pained my toenails coral pink.

I just need o make these things a habit, not do them as and when. I also need to sort my diet and exercise out as my new job involves sitting down all day and the biscuit tin is very well stocked!

My goals were the following:

I'm still thinking about what I want to do.

Definitely more exercise, but not sure what at the moment.

I'm pretty good at a daily beauty regime, but I want to up it a bit.

Hands need serious attention, so weekly manicure and more use of hand creams on a daily basis.

Diet is generally reasonable, but I need to get back to normal eating in the new year.

I then added: no new clothes in January; possibly longer and no new products until I have ran out.

I'm sure I also added something about taking supplements.

I'm generally pleased how things have gone. Everything has been achieved other than the exercise. Due to my dog dying, I have been exercising less, however I am now seriously considering golf. I have walked the golf course a couple of times with my husband, have been to the driving range and have my first golf lesson tomorrow. I hadn't anticipated golf all those months ago. So think I've nearly cracked it.

I now need to continue as I've got a big birthday coming up in a few weeks time.

I'm still here, but a little stressed about the new job - starting tomorrow, not much in the way of decent clothes (although winter wardrobe is a bit better, so roll on the cooler weather) and kids refusing to sleep so that I can sort myself out.

Definitely up for another thread though, especially to get me into good work-related habits. Too much time recently spent in flip flops and shorts :)

I NEED a new thread.

Just started 5:2, today is my first fast day. Have eaten 2 boiled eggs for breakfast in the hope that the protein will keep me going for minimal calories.

With hindsight the 10k I did on the stationary bike first thing may not have been the best thing to avoid hunger.

Did a trip to a McArthur Glen yesterday, mainly to buy clothes for DS1 and DS2 who have suddenly grown out of everything, but I did buy a few things for myself. Including 2 pairs of linen mix wide leg tailored trousers for work in the summer which are a little bit snug as an incentive to stick to 5:2!

I'm going to continue as I have a big birthday coming up in 40 odd days!

Something had to be done about the exercise, so I've taken up golf. It will be a while before I'm able to hit the course as I've got to master hitting the ball, but I've been walking the course with my husband.

Anyone want to start off a new thread? I would, except there's no point in me keeping track of days etc as with the time zones I'd constantly be confusing everyone

Managed makeup on, contact lenses in and dressed property (damn, just realised forgot jewellery) for first day of new job today. It's going to be hard work though - I already miss being able to throw on anything for the school run and then come home to get myself sorted.

So so happy for you, vvv!
Yep, I'm in!

Yup - join us here
