2013 is finally here so let’s start it off on the right foot! The year ending is always a feeling of shaking off the old and embracing the new. Don’t give yourself a chance to slip back in to old habits. Shake it off and run!
STEP ONE:
The alarm goes off. Jump out of bed like your ass is on fire! Don’t even think about “snoozing”. I know it sounds dreadful but I guarantee when you slip into that nice warm shower you’re going to feel awesome!
Some of my favorite morning rituals:
- Washing my face with Blissoma Free Makeup Remover and Cleansing gel
- COFFEE preferably from the Washington Ave Post ❤ the almond mocha latte!
- A few quick yoga poses to work out the bedtime kinks. *Any type of back bend will energize and wake your body up.
STEP TWO:
You’ve worked hard and probably let yourself go in the process. Give yourself a break and go to the salon. Get the works! You will leave with a new confidence and drive to be the best version of “You”

STEP THREE: 
Stock up on anything that will keep you feeling upbeat and good about yourself. Trust me, once you spend the money and realize what a difference it makes on your mindset you will make it work for your budget year round. Now I’m not saying go out and buy a brand new Mercedes. All I’m saying is if the shampoo your stylist uses on you makes you feel like Kate Middleton splurge a little and forget the V05 that makes your hair resemble hay.
Some of my must haves:
- cute planner to plan your new year goals
- Hair and Makeup products designed for your hair and skin type. (recommended by your beauty professional) **I love Original Mineral & Davines haircare!
- A good razor and shaving cream or esthetician!
- Healthy foods that give you energy not cheaper processed foods that bring you down.
- Fresh air!! It’s free and mind-blowing!
- Quiet time with a soy candle burning
