Inspired by some other threads (NC alert) I’ve decided the time is ripe for an overhaul/glow up. My plan is to make significant changes over a period of time and do a new one each month whilst keeping the old changes- nothing revolutionary but needed and I hope to get long term benefits/results.

at the moment my diet is pretty crap-which will be my next focus - the first was a new hairdo (which is a change and growing on me!), then multi vitamins, then 2L of water each day then a form of exercise each week.

In the short term before as I’m making bigger adjustments I’m hoping to get some advice on what are the likely to be the most significant gains to look like me but better.
I don’t like the feel of acrylics and currently don’t wear any make up.

Strength training and listing 3 stone

Adding strength training to my weekly exercise regime instead of just running.
I would love to be able to sleep better as I’m sure that would be a game changer but sadly I just can’t seem to get more than 6 hours a night and even then it’s broken.
Balayage twice a year, I get my eyebrows and upper lip waxed and I get my a pedicure and toe polish regularly throughout summer months.
I don’t use any expensive skin care or have any botox or fillers. I use Byoma skin care products and absolutely love them.
For the last 3 years I also get my clothes adjusted if needed so that they fit me perfectly.
