New Year, New You?

Well, it’s that time again when everyone makes their New Year’s resolutions. Just like most people, I rarely stick to, or even implement mine after the first few weeks. However, this year I plan on making several beauty and fashion resolutions and actually applying them.

Since I have more black in my closet than Marilyn Manson, I would like to incorporate more colors, patterns, etc. to spice up my otherwise dark wardrobe. In addition, I’d love to get out of my ho-hum hair rut and experiment with a new sexy style or cut. I’m not sure when I’ll actually execute these makeover aspirations, but I desperately want to add some variety to my look within the next twelve months. Wish me luck!

What are some of your resolutions this year? Is it to work out more, spend more time with family, etc? Or do you avoid making resolutions all together? Please share!

  4. im not a big resolution-maker. happy new year and good luck with your goals!

  5. Well, I wasn’t going to make any resolutions this year because they always seem to fall to the wayside but my BFF changed my mind….so I’m going to be diligent about saving money and changing my terrible eating habits for the sake of the kiddos! So farewell to eBay and Five Guys Burgers & Fries….well, maybe I’ll just cut back a bit!

  6. no resolutions this year!!!!

    🙂

  7. happy new year BGG!!

    My resolution is to contribute more to my household duties (ie dishwashing, folding clothes, cooking) I vow to stop treating my mom who lives with me as the hired help and do more for my own house.

  8. I don’t make resolutions, but I do make short terms goals each year. One of this year’s many goals is to get my CC debt down to 1-20% of the total available balances. I’m doing this instead of paying them off completely and having the CC play me by closing them. (They’re going for blood lately).

    I’ve been talking about being debt free on 12/31/10 (and working towards the goal) for a while and I can’t believe I’m so close. Woo hoo!

    Can’t wait to see your new haircut, whenever you get it. 🙂

  9. im going to stop eating junk food!

  10. Happy New Year! Well, in 2010 my wishes are to pay off 90% of my debt (Lord Willing), save more-spend less,and drink more water. Wish me blessings as I wish you and everyone who responded many blessings in your endeavors!

  11. Happy New Year BG!!! I really want to practice more patience this year!!! Patience w/ my weight loss after baby, w/getting back into my sz 6s, career progressions and with my family! Good Luck!

  12. Happy New Year! As per goals I want to be “me” and to smile more.

  13. Thanks for all of the Happy New Year sentiments! 🙂

    @ T – I hope that I’ll finally do something different with my hair. I will definitely show u guys pictures when I do!

  14. i started my resolutions the day after my bday (in Nov)! My main goal is to focus on positivity despite the circumstance.

    Praying for you and your lil one!!

A New Year, A New YOU!

Don’t you just love the beginning of a new year? Despite the usual wickedly frigid air, the first week in January always makes me feel refreshed, optimistic and energized. I can’t say that this eurphoric feeling lasts past the first 7 carefree days, but this year I’m going to try my best to keep my positive vibe buzzing as long as possible.

I’m not going to simply write or say what I want to accomplish this year, I’m going to put forth an infinite amount of effort into bringing my goals to fruition. I know that it’s easier said than done, but like the cliche says, “if you put your mind to it, you can do anything.” Failure is definitely not an option.

I have several personal, as well as professional goals that I need to make happen within the next 12 months. I realize that the only person who’s stopping me from successfully achieving them is me.

I encourage you to stick to your resolutions this year and become a better you!! We’re only on the third day of the year, so we have a long way to go!

Here are a few tips to help you stay on your resolutions’ wagon:

1. Choose an obtainable goal
2. Get specific about what time, when and where you’re going to carry out your goals (i.e exercising)
3. Don’t choose a goal that you fail over and over again each year
4. Ask friends and family to help you stay on track
5. Keep a journal (if you missed my posting on cute journals, check out entry: “Take Note”)

  1. The new year alwyas makes me feel like I have another chance to get it right. It’s sort of like any failures of the previous year are erased, and a new file is created. The new file can be filled with any dreams, goals, and aspirations.

    I’m sure I’ve said this many times before, but 2008 is my year. The name of my 2008 file is JOY LOVE and HAPPINESS!

  2. I definetly agree with you on this post BGG. I’m gonna try some of the tips you suggested.

  3. GReat ones!!! Happy New YEar chica!!!
