I’m about as good at making resolutions as I am failing them…

But I’m a fan of resolutions no matter how absurd or improbable they seem because they give me something to work towards…even if I miss the mark on a few. I won’t get into the fine points of my personal ambitions, but for a change, thought I’d talk about some beauty resolutions – more exciting than the usual self-improvement mantras.

LESS PHONE MORE Zzz

Confessions – the first thing I see when I wake up is the screen (alarm, emails, and IG – in that exact order) and the last thing I see before I sleep is the screen (email, IG, alarm). I’m one of those… When you work in this industry, it’s near impossible to lay off the phone. I also read books on my phone, which means I’m prone to multi-tasking. I know, I know – bad for the mind, bad for the eyes, and bad for real shut eye time. So in 2017, I vow to lay off the phone before snoozing!!

REMEMBER THE BODY

I’m diligent about my facial skincare routine but can easily neglect the rest of my body – hands, feet, and everything really. Every part of your body deserves as much love as your face, so here’s to exfoliating and moisturizing regularly!

EAT CLEAN

I’m not hinting at your standard green juice, antioxidant-rich delicacies, or the obvious… I plan on doing more of that too, but I’m leering at the fermented edibles trend – that means more kimchi and kombucha. Everyone claims healthy skin starts with a strong digestive tract, which fermented foods facilitate that process. They’re swarming with healthy bacteria that can oust acne, reduce signs of aging, and all that good sounding stuff. Not fully sure I’m convinced, but I’m all for more kimchi, kombucha, and miso. Yum.

GO GREEN

I don’t think I can ever go 100% natural when it comes to beauty. Frankly, I love my NARS, Chanel, Giorgio Armani, Bobbi Brown, Marc Jacobs, Dior, and those luxe goods far too much. However, I’ll gladly integrate a few au naturel products here and there. I started last year with ILIA and 100% PURE, but will swap in a few more. Brands like RMS BEAUTY & DR. HAUSCHKA make it that much easier.

BATHE MORE

I don’t mean take a shower, but rather candlelit baths. I think the last time I took an actual bath was 2014. The mere thought of soaking in warm bubbles feels so calming and rejuvenating – I just need to go for it! I’ll strive for once a month. Anyone already onto this?
