Today I will be writing about my beauty resolutions for 2013. Before that, here's a bit of background on my beauty-related habits. I used to be the type of person who was quite mediocre when it comes to beauty. I would wash and condition my hair, even put serum on but not hair mask. I would bathe with really nice-smelling body washes instead of just bar soap unless it was Dove (cause anything aside from Dove was quite drying for my skin) but I would rarely scrub my body nor put on body lotion. You get the picture. Basically I am not overtly lazy and neither was I a complete beauty buff.
Ever since a year and a half ago due to my pregnancy and where I was staying at that time (which had limited resources) I was forced to forgo certain beauty habits to save up on those limited resources. Also, during my pregnancy for some reason I became sooooooo lazy to do anything beauty-related so much so that I thought that my baby was a boy (In my country, we believe that the gender of a baby would affect the mother's behaviour during pregnancy). Unfortunately, that laziness went on well after I had Sophie. It became a habit for me to skip conditioning my hair for example and my hair has become a total horror. Don't even get me started on my skin.
Because of that I have decided that this year I am going to 'reclaim' the woman that I was if not be better. So the following are my beauty resolutions for 2013:
1. I will moisturize my face and neck. I know, I know.. I have been really mean to my skin *head hangs in shame*
2. I will put on sunscreen. I am not the type to wear sunscreen and I have acquired new freckles on my face during the time that I worked near the sea the past 3 months. Sigh..
3. I will scrub my body once a week *baby steps people, baby steps*
4. I will drink the acquired quota of water per day and consume less sugary/flavoured/gassy drinks if not banish them altogether.
5. I will condition my hair and put serum on it.
6. I will scrub my face once a week *again, baby steps*
7. I will put on a facial mask once a week *ditto*
8. I will wear body lotion at least once a day, 4 times a week.
9. I will carry breath spray with me. *In college I used to bring around a small bottle of mouth wash but now since I am more ahem, grown up, I think breath spray would be a more fitting thing to tote around*
10. I will wax my legs, as opposed to shaving, once a month.
I think that those resolutions should be good enough for now. Do you have a beauty habit that you'd like to establish but never did? Or do you have a bad beauty practice that you'd like to break? Tell me about it in the comments section. Cheers!
Love,
Phoebe
