Where would you start?

I'm thinking hair, make up, nails, pedi, waxing etc, diet, exercise, clothes (maybe a shopping day at a dept store) colour analysis, maybe Botox... Anything I've missed???

I really need a total overhaul and hopefully going to do this in the new year, but not sure what to start with.

I'd have work done on my teeth and have permanent leg hair removal.

I'm getting my teeth straightened - getting Damon clear braces put on in two weeks! Really excited although it's not as invisible as invisalign it should have better results and faster
(And I will whiten them when it's done)
I'm down for 10-12 months..

I'm also going to get fitter (weights not just cardio), eat better and do more yoga. I'm quite slim but not toned and nearing 30 I want to build some muscle insurance (I have a v flat bum!)

Thinking of Botox for my frown line only (what people call the 11 but I only have 1 of them but it's SO noticeable - I have Bitchy Resting Face)

Have been having 6 weekly waxing (full leg and brazilian) and proper pedicures for the last few months which make me feel amazing my heels are baby soft

Next year should have a bit more money for clothes so will make an effort to look a bit more put together for work (I'm a sucker for comfy over all else so trying to figure out outfits that are both .. The holy grail!)

Gym & colour analysis are the best use of your £.
I was lucky enough to get my colours done as a gift when I was young and it set me up for life. Would make a great 18th birthday gift actually!

Gym is also best value for money because it gives you so much more than just shape change. I discovered I could actually run this year (on a treadmill, with knobs to fiddle with every 2 mins and subtitled Jeremy Kyle - my attention span is far too short for outdoor running!) and it now gives me such a smug high that I have to make sure I wipe the silly grin off my face. Really didn't take long to get to that point. I've also managed it all on Groupons which has been far cheaper than normal membership & encourages me to do a class after gym workout.
