I am not usually a big New Year resolution maker, but last year I resolved to treat my face as if it were beautiful, and wear makeup nearly every day. I'm not sure how it worked, but somehow treating myself as a beautiful person really helped bring together my look and gave me more confidence.
A very good friend of mine who has known me for fifteen years told me she thought I looked really put together this year, which is definitely not something anyone has ever said to me before.
This year I really tried to wear only clothes that I felt suited me, and that I actually liked. As a result, I got rid of a lot of clothes and had to slowly add to my collection again. I also got a haircut which really suited me, and figured out how to keep it up without going to an expensive salon.
Of course, I will have to continue putting effort in to looking the way I want to look, but I'm proud to have taken control of this area of my life. I may not be able to lose weight, despite committing to walking or jogging every day, but darn it all I can look good and feel good about myself.
Next year's resolution isn't for public consumption, but I'm hoping it has as positive a result as this year's did! And Happy New Year to all of you, may you find something in your life you want to start anew!
