A New Year: A New You?

Yes, maybe, think about what was working for you in 2014 and see if you can change other things in your life, not just personally, but your outlook and view. I know everyone says to think positive, whatever that means, it's so flat and meaningless. Start with introversion, think about yourself for the moment and also how you can enrich other people's lives by your mere presence. 

Here are some quick changes you can make now, and inspiring ideas for yourself, your home, and hopefully, your bank account. I can't express enough that you need to pare down and stop with all the holiday waste and ring in the New Year as a new you, nope, not new, just refined and with plenty of what? Style.




Things to stop doing now:

Tacky, ugly nail designs. Your nails should be a no color clear gloss if you are not the nail type, and if you like color, pick one to compliment your outfits for the week. Don't wear all the colors at one time or a mish mash of designs, even if it is New Years.

Cheap ugly flowers. Ditch these in your home and in your office. Select fresh flowers and plants and place them on a table or mantel, or even in the kitchen, to brighten an area. Some fake accents look fine if used sparingly, but be selective and don't be afraid to throw out those dirt collectors, called dried flowers.

Get rid of useless decor. Nothing looks worse then some glass bowl or container with stuff crammed in it. Whoever thought this up with layers of junk on display squished into some clear glass thing, needs to go to prison and return everyone's hard earned cash they spent on it. Dump it now; you won't regret it.












Things you can do right now:

Set a pretty table. It is easy to change it with the seasons or celebrations. You don't have to spend a lot of money, but be creative. Small touches go a long way and you can mix the real with the fake, but think about your overall color scheme and do not just add clutter. Pick a basic neutral, then layer color on top.



Set a pretty face. Normally, you need to focus on one feature, the eyes, however, if you are not a makeup person [omg], remember clear skin is a must, so dig out that sheer foundation and loose powder, add some color on the lips and you are set. Blondes need to watch it with too much eye makeup, they will look stupid, brunettes can do just about anything they want, red heads need to tread carefully, as their hair is the focus. Choose warm colors and neutrals. If you love strong color on your perfect mouth, then ease up on the rest of the face for everyday wear.



Happy New Year
and don't forget to live your life with Style
