Hi friends, and happy holidays to everyone!
Was thinking about a style focus for January, and Nemosmom's post about an SYC challenge for the month dovetails brilliantly with what I was mulling over.
Of course, so much of what keeps us looking and feeling great relates to self-care - hair, skin, grooming, etc. - and happily these are also great things to focus on when not shopping! A few things I'll be focusing on for January:
- DH stocks me up on a million Clinique skincare lotions and potions; I'll be experimenting with these to see what's working for my skin these days and what I might add to my usual routine (as well as playing with all the lipstick colours that came in a gift set!)
- January's dry, gray days take a toll on my skin, so I'll be focusing on frequent moisturizing, and getting back in the habit of weekly (as a goal, at least) proper mani/pedi (usually at home, occasionally at a nail shop), hair deep conditioning, deep facial moisturizing, etc.
- It so happens I'm due for a full colour and hair cut, so that works well for this theme!
- Of course, after sweets and treats, healthy eating needs a reboot in January, which for me looks like focusing on eating more plants and drinking tons of water. I'm not a big drinker anyway but always do Dry January too, just to start the year off on a disciplined note. Stylewise this helps ensure my clothes actually fit
- Due to a back injury, I changed up my weights-heavy fitness routine to include more restorative things like yoga and Pilates, and fun things like Zumba. Will keep this up for January.
- And of course - having fun with my wardrobe, shopping my closet, and milking my style!
