Dianna GWhat are your beauty resolutions for 2008?
January 3rd 2008 02:47
After a week of face-stuffing and playing endless rounds of drinking games (with the result of trying to prove to everyone you are indeed sober by trying to rub your belly and pat your head at the same time), I noticed that people usually spend the first week of the new year hung over - with guilt. Many then resort to trying to put some semblance of control into their new year by creating New Year's resolutions. Myself included. But since my NY resolutions have been consisten in the past 5 years (winning money from lotto), I decided to create NY Beauty Resolutions instead.
Here are my 8 Beauty Resolutions for 2008 :
1. Use make-up remover before going to bed. This not only stops your pores from clogging but will prevent your pillows and sheets from looking like a Picasso painting.
2. Not be too gullible everytime I see a new ad promoting a 'miracle' beauty product - especially if the miracle product has to do with extending eyelashes.
3. Either get rid of the 24 bottles of moisturiser in the cupboard or use them.
4. Stop blaming the hot summer weather or the rain for not exercising for 3 months.
5. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables and admit that frozen beer-battered chips are not classified vegetables and choc-dipped strawberries are not fresh fruits.
6. Take pity on my dentist and appreciate the time and effort they take into their monthly 'You are overdue for a visit' notices by actually turning up to appointments.
7. Wear lipgloss at all times. Since I know better to NOT resolve to chew the skin off my lips, creating a bloody mess, I've decided instead to resolve to cover up the blood.
8. Not squint or frown as much when I'm thinking. This not only helps keep those wrinkles at bay, but will hopefully stop people from thinking I'm trying to pick a fight at the bus stop.

I had the same thought about all my beauty products in the bathroom, that either I use them or donate them to friends...it's not that I buy loads of them, but I seem to accumulate them as presents or they just multiply by themselves...they have to be used!!

Some good resolutions there. Including a few that I should take up - namely the beer battered chips!!!
I'm going to commit to having a massage once a month and a facial every 6-8 weeks (I like my resolutions to be things I'll actually do!)
Not buy every gimmicky beauty product on the market. I'll try to be discerning!!!
Exercise - I lost quite a lot of weight last year through diet and exercise. But now that I've lost the weight I have absolutely no motivation to exercise. I MUST find an exercise that I enjoy. It's not just about losing weight. I think that will be my mantra for the year!!

Amy, they taste so well with beer-battered fish or nice juicy steak, don't they?
Louie, I have moisturisers from about 4 years ago. Do you think they'd still be ok to use?
Tracey, I'm contemplating selling them on ebay!
Kat, now why would you want that? The rest of us love to be jealous of other women so we can feel good bitching about them
Julia, just watch out for the split ends. For some reason, everytime I grow my hair past my bra strap line, the split ends come out.
Catherine, I have short fine lashes as well. The best mascara I've used for them is Max Factor Lenghtening Mascara.
Lidia, hope this year is a good one for you so you can resolve not to cry as much. Just stay away from those sappy, girlie chick flicks, huh?
Kylie, congrats on losing the weight! And I know what you mean about no motivation to exercise. When I lost the weight I needed, I stopped moving my ass around too. Good luck!

My resolution? Never to try beer batter chips when I visit Oz. They sound too awesome!

I've also committed to going to get my eyes tested and to do those six monthly dentist check-ups.
I reckon when it comes to resolutions, it's baby steps, just something that's do-able, day by day.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi Jo, I agree with you there - no point trying to aim for something that may not be tangible. So unfortunately, saying goodbye to Coke Zero is out of the question. I love it as much as I love coffee
