Princessing goals for 2021?

188 replies

FuckOffDailyFailure · 27/12/2020 11:31

What is everyone working on for 2021? Obviously, events might not be happening, so I don't have anything to aim for.

However, I'm planning a self-care / hygge style makeover for myself.

I want to:

  • Eat healthily and maybe shed a few lbs!
  • Drink more water and less Wine
  • Tone up my arms, so I can wear tshirts and sleeveless dresses in the summer
  • clear out my wardrobe and pack things into storage. Things I am unlikely to need, like my work suit Xmas Sad and going out things
  • more reading / studying (I am a pt student) and less screen time! Need to go to all my online tutorials next term Xmas Blush. Keep forgetting as they always happen at kids' bedtime

@Carriemac well done on sticking with it!
I’ve lost 4lbs in January which I’m happy with. Going to be a bit more strict with my diet over the next couple of weeks as I’d really like to shift this last half a stone of baby weight! Definitely need to up my water intake too, my skin looks dull and dehydrated

@LBB20202 she said m y skin was glowing but I may have been my secret weapon - Trinny London BB cream in Claire is exactly my skin tone so it looks natural

LBB2020 · 01/02/2021 09:39

@Carriemac off to google your BB cream, I could do with glowing skin! (I am definitely not feeling very glowy this morning!)

My weight loss is more than going to plan now I have a stomach bug...

Hello! I love this thread and have been watching for a while. I was put off starting in January as I have two small boys (10 months and 3 years) that stop me sleeping - which I think is the root of all my issues ha. But surely, it is possible to still princess myself during this season of my life!?! Just placemarking really and setting out my goals!

I developed a skin routine and am seeing some slight improvement. Desperately trying to increase my water intake and reduce the biscuits. Would like to lose 10lbs, and will hopefully start running with a friend again (5K - nothing more!) when the nights get lighter. I went through a phase of taking vitamins and some supplements last year, but didn't find they helped (with energy/skin dullness/general aches and health) - does anyone have any advice on this?

I am trying to stop wasting money on fast fashion. The boohoo thing was a big wake up call, and the realisation all my ASOS returns are probably just being dumped somewhere has left me feeling quite uneasy. I'd rather start saving my pennies and investing in quality pieces that are a bit more timeless.

Thanks for having me!

Now I'm recovering from my stomach bug & feeling really hungry aargh!!

But counting the calories.

I'm determined to lose 2 stone & to be 11 stone by June.

Glad you’re feeling better now @Tehmina23

Tehmina23 · 02/02/2021 20:42

Thanks

@Fluffycloudland77 that cuticle oil is lush and it smells so lovely. Thanks for the recommendation.
I’ve been really paying attention to my heels, they are better.
I also decided that pyjamas all day long need to go, enough is enough. So I started wearing my dresses again, with woolly socks, but still, I put a bit of make up on and do my hair. I’m on day 4 😂.

How is everyone getting on?
I’ve completely fallen off the princessing wagon the past week! Getting back on it and planning a nice bubble bath later
