2013 Edition of S&B Resolutions

[mommytutu]

No. More. Stripes. Maybe 1 a season, but I need to try and add more prints and more color.

[billysgirl07]

Get back in shape! I lost nearly 40 pounds a few years ago and it's all found its way back to me So my resolution isn't necessarily to "lost weight" it's to regain my healthier eating habits and just to be healthy again.

Put more effort onto fixing my hair on a daily basis, b/c it's so cute when it's curled. When I only take time to blow it out straight, it looks limp and stringy.

1. Use and wear what I have already.

This is probably my big one. I was sorting and purging my closet room last weekend and found 20 dresses new with tags still on them
I tend to get that way with shoes, too. I need to stop.

Here's another one: wear & use my nicer stuff way more often and stop saving it for the "perfect occasion." Everyday is special.

YES! I find now that I've dropped 20 lbs I want to dress nicer.

Great post! Here's to a wonderful 2013!

A few of mine:
-Put more effort into painting my nails on a regular basis.
-Lay off on the heat styling of my hair. I'm trying to grow it out yet keep it healthy.
-Consider cleaning out my closet and investing in a couple of high quality pieces that last a long time instead of buying a million cheap Target shirts... (Any recommendations???)

NSBR:
-Drink a glass of red wine each night.
-Do whatever I need to stress less

3. Non S&B, I'm thinking of going vegetarian. Or pescetarianism.

Try it, you will love it!

For me:
1) My hair is long-ish, but I'd love to grow it longer and keep it healthy despite the color/dye

2) Spend more $$ on my fitness gear, starting perhaps with an LLL running skirt

3) Get out of my pj's everyday, even though I work from home

4) In addition to all my bootcamp and yoga workouts, I want to get back to distance running

[bethaboo]

Mav, definitely try vegetarianism/pescatarianism. I have been one since I was nine. For me, it's easier to allow myself to eat fish so I get enough protein. Good luck!

My resolutions:

1. Finish my closet room. Which will help with resolution number two.

2. Take better care of my clothes.

3. Buy more shoes.

4. Buy less stripes (added only after I read mommytutu's resolution - it's a good one).

[bowlica]

1. Do not rush out to get the latest "in" item per S&B when I know I really don't need it.
2. Also, wear what I have.

[magnoliablossom]

1. Make working out a priority in my schedule.
2. Finally get my house completely organized and donate or sell anything that hasn't been used in over a year.
3. Get better about eating regularly. Since I found out I have lots of food allergies, I have been bad about not preplanning meal and snacks so that I often have to not eat until I can get to my stash of safe foods.
4. I'm probably going to go Paleo with my diet because of said food allergies.

[anaps28]

-Get back to eating healthy/working out consistently ( basically make myself a priority)

- Use what I have in my closet-If get back to working out and drop a few lbs I can get back into more of the clothes in my closet

-Make more of an effort doing my hair and makeup. I'm always in a rush and tend to neglect these things, ponytail and just some foundation just isn't cutting it anymore.

[adlove]

-Be a stylish pregnant person and mom. I don't want to stop putting forth effort in my style.

-Stick to a budget. Buy fewer, higher quality classic pieces that will last longer.

-Quit shopping as a hobby. Make note of things that my wardrobe is lacking and purchase with purpose!

Oh and I want to use up my beauty products before buying more things I don't need!

[phoenixrising]

My resolution for the last couple of years has been "get my shit together." It has not happens thus far! I need to stop spending so much on crap I don't need, get back to weight loss, and figure out how to get over some of my "issues." I also want to start running and get firmly back into debt snowball mode. And get dressed in something other than workout clothes everyday.

[Deleted]

Def the eat well one.

Also have more fun and learn to do more things to my hair. Fishtail braids, etc.

Maybe start a blog? I feel like no one would care of I wouldn't have enough to say though

[bimbi284]

1.) Complete another round of the elimination diet I did last year
2.) Lose these last 10 lbs (elim diet should help)
3.) Work out at least 3x per week
4.) This: www.apartmenttherapy.com/join-us-get-organized-in-2013-the-january-cure-181703
5.) Seriously go through my closet and purge/reorganize

[brewalexa]

Good idea Mav! #1 get a shopping budget and stick to it. #2 buy less and more expensive quality pieces to enhance my wardrobe. #3 stick to my gym classes and make my lifetime membership worth it.

[highlarious]

Finally bring in those items for tailoring that I've been unable to wear due to improper fit.

Continually reassess my current clothes and shoes inventory and purge what I don't wear.

Use up all my existing products.

Get botox again. Lol.

I like #4!! I need to follow along. My house has gotten so disorganized. I feel like stuff is piling up and I have no clue where it is coming from.

[mrsguz]

Not necessarily S&B related but be grateful all around and be appreciative of what I've got.

Run a 10k. (My goal at the beginning of 2012 was to run a 5k and I ran 4 before I got injured)

Eat better.

Travel more (did pretty good with this one in 2012, it's hard with a LO)

[littlemissladybug]

I've actually done fairly well this year with using up products before buying more.

I need to focus on my workouts. Get a set work out schedule, and do more toning.

Find an eye cream that will fit my budget & get my skin cleared up finally.

Dress up more instead of wearing yoga pants and a t-shirt everywhere.

I've become so lazy because I workout in the mornings after the kids go to school so I don't wear make up. Then I come home change into yoga pants and continue to go about my day without make up and my hair in a pony.

& finally stop using the CC for impulse items. We are going to be mostly debt free next August.

[maucat]

Get rid of all the excess in my life. That includes a closet purge, a makeup purge, product purge, using up what I have and not buying things I don't need.

I also want to start classing up my wardrobe. Oh, and it includes working on losing weight and on trying to eliminate excess stress from my life. I plan on doing my best to make 2013 a better year than 2012.

ETA: And to do better at implementing a bedtime routine so that I make sure to always wash my face before bed.

[xokell2]

Take better care of my brows

Drop 10-20lbs

Finish my BSN and cut back to part time at work

Baby #3 maybe? After we get a bigger house

[fashionx]

1. Start working out again. I've slacked a lot the last 2 years and I need to just buck up and join a gym again. I think I don't have any time to do it, but I need to make time. I took a step and am doing an 8k run in March with 2 girls from work.

2. Organize my jewelry and get rid of the cheapo stuff I have and will never wear (either I bought and wore once or twice, or got as a gift and never wore). I got a couple nice boxes from my dad and from a thrift store already, just need to organize and purge.

3. More organization... organize my accessories (shoes, scarves, etc.) in a better way. I've taken some steps this year but have a little way to go still.

4. Finish some home project goals DH and I have talked about/started planning and not done.

[xojo1]

1. Take more risks S&B wise. I don't really have a strict dress code for work so I can afford to have more fun.
2. Organize my closest/dresser/accessories/makeup/products better.
3. Paint my nails more often.

Non S&B
4. Run a half marathon.
5. Get pregnant.

[greeneggs]

1. Take time to get dressed and look nice everyday. Just because I can wear jeans and old sweaters everywhere doesn't mean I should
2. Lose the last 20 lbs or so to drop one more dress size
3. Accessorize more. I'm getting more comfortable with necklaces and scarves, but I need to be more consistent
4. Getting my hair cut on a regular schedule and not showing up at the salon every 4-5 months looking like an overgrown cocker spaniel.

[Dory1988]

Post more regularly on the board. I say that to myself a lot though.

Work out and eat better.

Put more effort in to looking nice regularly instead of just on holidays. Wearing scrubs everyday does put a damper on that though.

[315bride]

1. Buy with purpose (stealing from adlove).
2. Continue to search for and buy American-made items.
3. Continue to do Pilates.
4. Blog regularly.
5. ETA: laser hair removal.

[Deleted]

Xo, I bought a year package for waxing and my brows have been thanking me ever since. It's much more convenient to have it paid for up front.

My goals are to keep dressing up every day once I become a mom and not get into a rut. I also want to lose the baby weight in 1 year and run a half marathon in the fall.

[msamyfarrahfowler]

Drink less coffee and get more beauty sleep

Walk more often

Take better care of my cuticles

Stop buying stuff with my sale goggles on

[preppy]

S&B:
-buy more high quality shoes. I have some great clothing pieces and great bags but I feel lacking in the shoe department.
-build my office casual wardrobe for the new job.
-bribe myself with lululemon as a way of getting my ass to Pilates and barre classes

Non S&B:
-eat dinner at the table more
-actually write on my blog more
-get pregnant?
