10 Ways To Start The Year Off Right

Hello Darling!

A new year is such an exciting time. It is an opportunity for a clean slate, to start over and to dream bigger than you did the year before. Every year there are a few ways I like to start the new year off. I thought it would be fun to share those plus a few other things that I am doing to start 2017 off right.

Write out your goals-Writing goals is such an important thing to do. As a visual person this allows me to gather my thoughts, think about what I want to achieve, and make a game plan. When you write out your goals I believe it helps them become more of a reality, something that you are really going to do.
Buy a planner/agenda-Again, I am such a believer in writing everything out. I love buying but new planners and agendas. It is so fun to fill them in for the year, plus it helps you stay much more organized.
Get organized– Whether you need to organize your makeup, your desk, your closet, you car, etc starting off the new year with an organized life is the best thing to do!
Clean our your closet– This is something that I am not always the best at but when I do clean out my closet I feel much better. Also, it is a great opportunity to give back and to donate your clothes to those in need.
Wash you makeup brushes-This is something that I just started doing the past few years. For the longest time I did not realize how important it is to regularly wash your brushes. I know, I know, it’s embarrassing. So what better time to remember to wash them then now, as you start a new year.
Take care of your skin-Start the year off by splurging on your skin. Especially in the cold weather it is so important to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. So for me this is a time that I spend a little bit more money on products so that I make sure make skin is in tip top shape.
Tell your friends and family you love them– Life is crazy, and busy. For me and I am sure for you as well, it seems as if you are always going 100 miles and hour. It’s important to stop to tell your friends and family you love them. As life flies by it is so easy to forget to cherish these relationships. So as we start the new year take time to let these loved ones know how much you cherish them.
Workout– I know this is a cliche goal of the new year but for myself it is so important. I always want to start the year off on the best foot. I know that I feel so much better when I am working out. So why not get out there and do it! Let’s be our best selves.
Take a bubble bath– As I mentioned before life is crazy. So it is important to take time for yourself and relax. With the stresses that life brings sometimes it is important to have “you” time. This is something that I have had to learn these past few months and though it not always easy to make time for yourself, just do it because in the end you will be glad you did.
Smile more– Smiling is a beautiful thing. Not only can this bring joy to your heart but a smile can bring so much joy to others as well. So smile in the good, and the bad times. Because life is to short not to strive to live joyful life.
