Let’s face it: 2020 was one for the record books, and not in a good way. Indeed, ringing in the new year will never feel so good. Make those glad tidings last by creating your New Year’s resolutions before another minute ticks by. If you need a nudge in the right direction, take a look at these tips.
Well-Dressed
Ever since Coco Chanel created the little black dress in the 1920s, women’s closets have never been the same. The perfect LBD isn’t just a wardrobe staple; it’s hot. This adaptable fashion must-have is the go-to choice anytime you want to look and feel amazing.
If your LBD is looking its age, it’s time for an update. Whether your life takes you to the club or a date night with your new sweetie, find the perfect figure-flattering Little Black Dress for you. With so many styles and sizes out there, you’re sure to find something for every occasion this year and beyond.
Well-Groomed
It’s easy to get a little lax in the personal hygiene department every now and then. But how well you take care of yourself speaks volumes. This year, make a pledge to stay on top of your grooming game. Schedule your salon visits ahead of time, so you never let more than six weeks go by without a haircut. And regularly pluck your eyebrows and trim your fingernails to stay at the top of your game.
Being well-groomed means more than your hair and nails being top-notch; it’s your appearance as a whole. Case in point: Swap out any purse or bag that’s past its prime. Shine your shoes and ditch anything past the point of shabby. And take pride in how you present yourself to the world.
Well-Read
If your idea of reading involves scrolling through social media news feeds, make this the year you resolve to read more. Getting lost in a great book is the perfect way to relax and de-stress. Moreover, reading works your mind more than speech or images and even improves your memory.
It’s cheap entertainment, gets your creative juices flowing, and gives you something different to discuss with friends and family. Travel the world without leaving your living room by asking loved ones and friends for recommendations. To get started, set aside time at lunch, during your commute, or before bed to fit in 15 minutes of reading and you’ll expand your world like never before.
Well-Balanced
Mindfulness may be the theme of 2020, but you can certainly carry it into 2021 and keep the good vibes going with that newfound balance in place. Actively maintain your mental health by not falling back into old, bad habits like staying up too late or not drinking enough water. Resist the urge to cram your schedule full of things to do and places to go.
Additionally, check-in with yourself and recognize when you need a break or a little “me” time. You can also take a bath, binge-watch your favorite shows, or take the dog on an extra-long walk. It’s okay to take a time out, and after the constant stresses of 2020, it’s practically mandatory.
New Year, New Adventures
As 2021 nears, make New Year’s resolutions you actually want to keep. Read a good book on the regular, amp up your personal grooming habits, and make time for yourself. Also, don’t forget to opt for an LBD anytime for a look that’s always memorable. With the excitement of a brand-new year ahead, there’s no better time than now to actively work toward becoming a new and better you.
