New Year, New Skincare Routines!

A new year always brings a lot of new year resolutions from people, most don’t stick with them because it is usually a long list of things that a person “thinks” they should do. I prefer to step back and take a look at how my previous year went and how I would like for my next year to go. What can I do to adjust my way of thinking and what plans can I put into motion to make my plans for my new year happen? I think a lot of people try to make too many changes or unrealistic changes.

This year I would like to take better care of myself, both mentally and physically. I do not mean that I am going to join a gym that I will never go to but I am not getting any younger… I need to start taking care of my skin and mental health. I have let my stress level elevate very high over the past few years, a lot of it has not been in my control but I need to find a way to wrangle it in.

I am starting with my skin! I have been using Monat’s skincare line and it has been amazing! For the past several years I have been getting dry patches on my face, I never used to have dry skin!
