New Me 2014: Health & Beauty Goals

Tuesday, January 7, 2014

Happy Tuesday! Yesterday I shared with you my life goals, and today I’d like to touch on my health & beauty goals for 2014.

HEALTH
Workout more consistently, and have fun doing so! I’m going to get back into the habit I love so much this year. I’ve got a barre class lined up to try, and I’m going to do yoga, weightlifting, and cardio.
Eat out less. This is hard to not do in college, but I’d like to at least limit myself to twice a week on campus during the day and once a week for dinner. I want to bring more lunches and healthy snacks with me to campus.
Avoid the things I’m “allergic” to. I got some tests done in summer of 2013 by a man that practices Chinese medicine, and I found out a lot of food ingredients I’m very moderately allergic to. Aside from a couple things, nothing gives me a severe enough reaction to really avoid it, but I know I feel better when I avoid as much as I can. So 2014 will be my year to get back on track.
Plan my meals. This way I can buy the groceries I actually need!

BEAUTY
Limit damaging ingredients in my beauty products. The skin is the largest organ, and absorbs easily anything you put on it, including all the nasty ingredients found in most beauty products. Also within this goal is trying to not layer as many products/not putting on a full face everyday if I don’t need to. Natural beauty in all forms for 2014!
Get rid of products I don’t use. I am a beauty product junkie. No more!

BOTH!
Floss. I go through phases of flossing every night, and then I slack for weeks. Time to fix that!
Drink more water. I feel like this is a resolution every year! Lol! I think because I’m always good about drinking water, but I know I could be better-- I notice a huge difference in my skin and energy the days that I drink more water.

Check back for tomorrow’s post on my fashion & blogging goals!
