Vintage Beauty New Years Resolutions - 2009

[StaceFace]

Oh dear, where to start?! lol

In no particular order:
1. Take/perform yoga at LEAST five times a week...and maybe tone up and loose about 10 pounds as well!
2. Get a cleaning routine down...I still fairly new at keeping my own place, but hopefully I can convince myself to do the dishes every day, vacuum every other day, clean the bathroom once a week, etc.
3. Master vintage hair...I can do the foam rollers with help, but I'd like to be able to do them myself, and then maybe learn some other styles, too.
4. Make EDIBLE 100% whole wheat bread...and other breads, too. I can bake, I just never give bread the time. And my whole wheat bread comes out tasting like cheap beer. Talk about "beer bread" .
5. SEW...and knit, and crochet, and embroider.
6. Ride and bike to more destinations...if only Bellevue were more geared for that. Maybe when hubby and I move, base housing will be nicer for that.
7. Eat more vegetarian...I'm mostly there, but I don't know how to cook enough or have the time to, so lack of variety gets boring. Plus, I don't want to deprive myself of essential nutrients.
8. GARDEN...sure would be helpful for going vegetarian!

Wear vintage clothes and hairstyles everyday, not just on days when I leave the house.

Learn the art of homemaking, the old-fashioned way.

Start up my home based business with my aunt.

Eat healthy foods all the time.

Be more thoughtful and considerate to the people around me.

A bit more off-topic than the others above, but serve the Lord with all my heart.

Learn something new everyday.

Can I add a pre-New Years resolution to not spend $200 on a New Years eve dress? I cannot afford to spend any money right now but I'm looking through vintage sites and I really want a pretty new dress. :cry:
must not spend money I don't have, must not spend money I don't have....

 

[TessTrueheart]

I want to achieve perfect health.

 

[Lillemor]

Get my brows shaped.
Find a signature red lipstick that looks vintage and suits my complexion.
Find a signature red nailpolish that looks vintage.
Learn to maintain a stable weight and not yo-yo within 5 kgs. all the time because it makes the skin in the frown lines on my face sag.
Work more vintage or at least convincing retro apparel into my wardrobe.
Buy footwear that isn't just functional but looks good too and preferrably looks retro/vintage as well.
Actually wear my garters and stockings (they're collecting dust).

1.) Conduct myself more lady-like. Not saying I'm a beast... but I tend to fly off the handle and explode on people. The trick is to keep breathing...

2.) Eat healthy, lose weight, blah blah blah... How about maybe just be happy? I like that one better.

3.) Take my vitamins EVERY DAY!

4.) Brew my own coffee instead of running to Starbucks everyday and spending $5 I don't have. (OT, sorry)

5.) Separate my 'wants' from 'needs' when I'm shopping.

6.) Looking my best for class no matter how lazy or tired I am.

[olive bleu]

Since I just moved to another state I am attempting to be brave (real brave) and let my hair go gray.
I figure noone knows me so hey! lol
It is about 1 inch gray at top so far. Wearing my winter hat alot lately.
May be liberating eventually. lol
When I see my sister next time she will probably pass out.

YOU ARE A RIOT!!!lol

 

[Lareesie Ladavi]

Mine isn't retro or nostalgic in nature, but I have to kick the artificial sweetener habit. I don't trust that rat poison...I'm afraid of the stuff...From sodas to coffee...hard to kick. I also get real tired of some people that like to chime in about my consumption, when they have some obvious health concerns of their own.
Anywhoooo, there really is something addictive is this crap. I drink a lot of liquid to keep from eating. I feel like I'm at a war with my body.

My other habit to kick (at least for a long while), is heated hair tools. They are evil. Flat Irons on fine hair Will fry the hair right off. I like to use them to flip my ends under...soo bad.

 

[Paisley]

Get to bed at 10:30. That's it. I think it's realistic.

Several years ago I had the good luck to find a diet and exercise program I could practice almost every day. I've been able to stick with it because it's pretty simple, I feel good on it, and it produces good results.

 

[Bubble Cheeks]

Great thread!

1.) Continue on Weight Watchers until I get to goal, so I can wear more cute vintage dresses
2.) Conquer and perfect fingerwaves. I actually want to get a bob soon, and learn how to do the perfect fingerwaves. I have been really into 30's hair lately. Now I want to learn how to do it myself.
3.) Learn how to sew, so I can make my own dresses from vintage sewing patterns I love!

 

[Tatum]

Wow, great thread.

1. Find an organization/GTD system that actually works for me so I can stay on top of things and not feel so overwhelmed all the time (and have more time do accomplish other things).
2. Set my hair all the time again, like I did in the summer and fall.
3. Master pincurls.
4. Get my teeth fixed.
5. Find time to sew all the fun things that have been collecting dust.
6. Possibly the most important: find more time to play the piano.

 

[hotrodmama0201]

Alot of this is in preparation for VLV, but some are just things I need to do.

1. Lose 10 lbs. so I can be back to the 25" waist I had last spring! Watching my diet, working out 5 times a week and drinking lots of water.
2. Start taking care of my hands/cuticles/fingernails. No more picking and biting, wearing gloves everytime I do the dishes, and lots of hand
lotion!
3. Same goes for the feet...at-home pedicures, foot lotion and no more picking at my toes. Also to wear color on my toenails at all times.
4. Washing my makeup off every night and doing my skincare routine not matter what, no matter how tired I might be at bedtime.
5.Growing the damage out of my hair so I can have lucious locks again! Cutting down on blowdrying, dyeing, deep conditioning once a week, taking my prenatal vitamins everyday and getting trims.
6. Cutting back on the alcohol BIG time (until Vegas, that is!) of course we all know how this makes us prettier inside and out
