Evening Ladies
Well I have finally come up with my New Year's Resolutions! Hopefully they are ones I can stick to!
So here goes!
1. Get fit!
I have done literally no exercise since I left school 5 years ago(and when I was there I wasn't exactly little miss sporty!). The Mr laughs at the fact that I can't run up the 2 flights of stairs in our house without being out of breath! So to kick start my get fit plan I went and bought some trainers! I kind of figure if I have spent money on them I will probably use them!
I have been very inspired by Victoria's recent post, including the Couch to 5k jogging program! I will be able to run without feeling like I'm dying!
I am also going to invest in the Your Shape: Fitness Evolved for the Xbox Kinect. Hopefully it will keep me active when its rainy or cold and I don't want to venture outside!
2. Take part in at least one charity sporting eventLast year I took part in Pedal It Pink sponsored bike ride and really loved being active and doing something for a good cause! Definitely something I would like to do again this year!
3. Become more organised
I desperately need bring some organisation into my life. My lovely sister bought me a Filofax for Christmas so now I have no excuse. I have nice little 'To buy/To do/To blog' sections all set up so hopefully I will be able to plan my life a little more!
4. Get a proper skincare routine
I am 22 and I really don't look after my skin. At the moment I am pretty much a face wipe and occasional facial scrub kind of girl. No wonder I have pretty bad skin! If anyone can point me in the direction of some good skincare posts/products for combination/oily/acne prone skin I would be so grateful!
6. Sort out my wardrobe!
I am very lucky to have a walk in wardrobe and work for a company that specialise in fitting out dressing rooms/bedrooms etc. Despite having lots of space and it fully fitted out it is still full and a state! I have things I haven't worn in years/haven't worn at all/will never wear again! It is so disorganised I can never find what I want to wear! So I will become ruthless and sort it out!
7. Worry/Stress less!
My Mum has always said I am a natural born worrier. I worry about everything from did I lock the front door at night to what would I do if I lost one of my family members. I am one of those people that finds it hard to get to sleep because my brain won't switch off and gets all emotional over things I have no control of. I need to sort this out! Again if anyone has any links to blogs/posts to help with stress and worrying I would be very grateful!
I think that will be enough to keep me going for the year! What are your New Year's resolutions?
Best of luck with your resolutions :)
ReplyDeleteI must say, I'm rather jealous of your walk-in wardrobe! That's the main thing my dreams are made of!
I also worry too much - about everything. I wish I could help/advise, but I'm really not in a position to I'm afraid - if you get any life-changing advice though, do please feel free to share it with me, thanks!
Thank you for your comment on my post :)

i'm not so much of a routine person myself but when it comes to skin care i find Garnier Pure 3in1 Wash Mask is super super good :) it can be used as a daily face wash but leaving it on longer allows it to set into a mask, really easy and your skin feels super soft after (: x
ReplyDeleteI'm a worrier too. Try and clear your head before bed, by whatever methods work for you. I write my diary which helps, especially on stressy days, and I have sort of daydream characters that I think about when getting to sleep is tricky. Takes my mind off my problems!
ReplyDeleteLove your resolutions,
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'm doing so well with mine at the moment haha,
ah well, I have the entire year ;) x
Oh and not a link, but I highly recommend keeping a book by your bed to scribble down what is going through your mind. Also try some yoga breathing...it's really, really calming and helps to slow thoughts down. I'm also a natural worrier and these two things have really helped x
ReplyDeleteI still need to buy some new inserts for my filofax, I keep forgetting! x
ReplyDeleteAll these sound achievable, good luck with them all.
ReplyDeleteI've decided to paint more, worry less and spend more time with family and friends.
xx
Sounds like good resolutions, and I suppose if you want to take part in a charity event, you'll be encouraged to keep fit for it, so it's a win win situation! Good luck to you! I don't make resolutions as such. If I know I want to do something, I just set about doing it, because I always break NYR's! xx
ReplyDeleteOh I completely sympathize with you, most of those apply for me too! I am not big on NYear Resolutions, but seeing your list kinda made me thinking.. Well I will be doing getting into shape/eating healthy regardless, and I was really really thinking of doing a wardrobe clean out! But you totally inspired me to try and take better care of my skin, I think people wouldn't even know I'm a girl considering the small amount of products/how little time I actually do spend taking care of myself.. When you find any awesome articles you could post :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list of inspiring things to aim for. I need to be less anxious too - always worrying about the day I'll probably never see! xx
ReplyDeleteWe Shop Therefore We Are
Like Laura said, yoga really used to relax me, i need to make some time for it! and i am planning to dl the couch to 5k programme as well, i love the gym but it's quite a drive, so i would like to make mysefl get into running!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all the resolutions, hope there's a smile in it for you every day to come :-)
ReplyDeletegood luck! I hope you manage to keep all your resolutions! :D
