Its almost that time of year again….when everyone is so ready to change everything they ever did and erase the past and look for the future. But can we really do that? Erase the past? I started this morning with my normal 5am or so workout and while I was pushing through on the elliptical machine for an hour I started thinking about resolutions……..why do people make resolutions? Shouldn’t we strive to be our best every day and not just the first of the year? I rarely make resolutions, I feel like your just setting yourself up to fail, its like a diet it doesn’t work. I find that in my life small changes lead to bigger results. I have found over the past 5 years I have grown as a person made major changes in my life but it is all from learning from mistakes and making small changes that lead to larger results. So the point of this post is to note that small changes made lead to bigger results. Don’t beat yourself up if you fall off the resolution wagon, its no big deal, really it isn’t the end of the world. I feel that if you do something consistently for thirty days it becomes a habit. Here are some things I have done, small changes that have lead to bigger results in my life and will lead to bigger results in 2015, feel free to use them. Also in true Beauty Kitchen fashion I am supplying some fabulous quick beauty tips, small changes!!! Big results!!! Go 2015!
Small change, I do not transfer any money into my checking account only savings. Larger result, less frivolous spending. Now if I can only get rid of my Amex…..
Small change, I drink wine with half filled with water. Yes I know that sounds crazy but the larger result is today is day seven, no wine.
Small change, drinking water before bed at least 2 glasses. Larger result is I have never felt better in the mornings, my skin is glowing, and no breakouts.
Small change, ordering Hello Fresh food delivery. Larger result, having more time not running to grocery, pre planned meals, healthy meals, fun cooking with friends, and weight loss without trying. If you want to sign up for Hello Fresh use this code and you will get $40 off your first box (I AM ADDICTED) 4H4MG5.
Here are some 2015 quick Beauty Kitchen Beauty Tips
Always remove your makeup before bed. I like to use my Rose Geranium Cleansing Oil but you can also use coconut oil as a great makeup remover.
Invest in sample sizes (check out my mini monthly on the shop page) They do have an actual function! Minis are so easy to fit into your bag or even your pocket, making them perfect for girls on the go.
DE puff your morning eyes. It is very true cucumbers do work but if you happen to be at a loss for that spare cucumber laying around (where does that spare cucumber always run off to??) you can use green tea bags, witch hazel, or try my Beauty Kitchen collagen Eye gel pads. And no Prep H doesn’t work they changed the formula over ten years ago so no more booty cream tricks, it doesn’t work.
