Resolutions, who needs ‘em? Me, I need them. Not the stress of sticking to them so much - but having a few goals to check-in on throughout the year feels manageable and totally worth it. I thought it might be helpful halfway through the first month of 2020 to lay out a few, obtainable resolutions that I hope to incorporate in to my routine that you might want to take on as well!
Drink 3L of water per day. We all know that drinking water and staying hydrated has its benefits. Clear and glowing skin alone make this a no-brainer but what makes it an even easier task is a cute new re-usable water bottle from San Francisco based company, BKR. BKR’s Big bottle is 1L so refilling it twice a day makes it easy to measure your progress. They’re a bit spend-y but think of all the plastic disposable bottles you won’t be buying. They are made of glass, so no funky plastic taste/leeching concerns and - wait for it - they are dishwasher safe. You can also purchase alternate silicone sleeves to swap out your color AND they have a fancy lid option that holds what might be my all-time favorite lip balm/gloss, Paris Water Balm. Drink up buttercup!
Self-Care. This is a hard one because who has the time and/or money? Which is why I invested in a Gua Sha tool, its like a gym for your face! Gua Sha feels almost as good as a lymphatic massage and it stimulates circulation, aids in lifting and firming and is easy enough to do yourself. Here’s one that I really like from Skin Gym that I found at Credo Beauty.
Change it up. Getting stuck in a beauty rut happens from time to time, so this year let’s try and keep it fun, shall we? I mentioned oVertone in my Cyber-Conscious Monday round-up, their colored conditioners provide a new punch of color in just 15 minutes! It’s a fun way to temporarily change it up when you’re feeling bored with your look.
Here’s to being a little more hydrated, self-aware and adventurous in 2020!
