My New Year's Resolutions for 2016
05:29
So, another year begins. I know, I know, new year's resolutions are a bit of a cliché, will I actually keep any of them past January 5th? Unlikely, but it's worth a try.
- Drink more water. I make this resolution EVERY SINGLE YEAR but one of these years I am determined that it will stick.
- Exercise more.The unthinkable has happened. I have joined a gym. I'm yet to fall in love with exercise and going to the gym but so far I've managed to keep up going twice a week and I hope that continues for this year.
- Eat healthier. Of course, the above resolution won't have much effect on my health if I keep eating chocolate like my life depends on it. I'm not going to completely cut out the good stuff, but I need to cut down.
- Put less emphasis on material possessions. I know that may seem a little contradictory since I write a blog all about the pretty little things I buy, and that won't be changing, but it's understanding that another nude lipstick might make you happy for 10 minutes but it's not a long term solution. I have so many pretty lipsticks, if I keep buying more, I'll never get to use and truly appreciate the ones I have.
- Be more sensible with money. Now I'm getting older,I need to start saving for the big things, a car, getting on the property ladder, blah, blah, blah. I've taken action by opening a savings account and I'm planning on adding to it every month but I also need to cut down on the impulsive purchases like that pastel nail polish I definitely don't need or that jumper that looks like every other jumper I own. Gosh, being an adult sure is fun.
- Say yes more. I am such an introvert, I love nothing more than a cosy night in with a good film, some snacks and the company of my dog. Although that will always be one of my favourite thing to do, I think I need to start saying yes to going out more, to meeting new people and making memories while I'm still young.
