before I start stating 2016 resolutions, would like to mention a few that I have achieved from past years :D
2014/2015 resolutions that I have achieved
- forming the habit of cleanse-tone-moisturize
I used to be very horrible in terms of putting anything on my face (or cleaning =.=).. I would just use makeup wipes to clean my face instead of cleanser, and skip toning or moisturizing. However, due to the massive amount of expired face products due to my lack of using and my love for buying random ones to try (and my increasing horrible skin condition because i did not take care of it), I forced myself to start doing the cleanse-tone-moisturize routine, and noticed a change.. my skin is not as dry now :D. Now, it is part of my twice daily routine which I am glad to have achieved, I still forget at times especially when I stay at home all day and not venture out which is fair enough.
- bond with my little brother more
Even though my younger brother and I live under the same roof, we can live without talking to each other for dayssss. When i came home after work, I would head to my laptop and glue to it for ages. Whenever I traveled, He found out about my travel plans from friends instead of myself because we seldom communicated. He stopped cooking due to both of us being at work full time and being tired. We barely ate together unless I mentioned to eat out during my day off.
I wanted to change that, or at least make my household living being happy :). So, end of last year, I decided to start cooking and eating at home more. I try to cook during my day off so we can eat together for dinner (and to save some $$). He was quite surprised when he noticed the change. Now, whenever he comes home on my day off, he will eagerly ask me if I am gonna cook :), and he tries to cook on the day that I work. We will eat together on the dining table instead of in front of our respective laptops. I like that change, and i'm sure he does to.
My next step is to find the effort to play board games with him, seeing that he loves it so much ;)
this family bonding is gonna be an ongoing task for sure!
OKAY, enough said. time to list out my part 2 goals:
i need to
- DECLUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS has been an ongoing project since forever! There are always clutter everywhere. I must admit that im a hoarder, I just couldn't get myself to get rid of several little small things (including empty jars/shampoo bottles that I have used =.=)..
The cleanest my room has ever been is usually right before I fly off to somewhere, because either I have no mood to pack if there is mess around,or i procrastinate by tiding my room and leave packing till the very last minute), or I tidy my room along the way in search of what to pack... hmmm i'm not making any sense here haha don't know what I am typing.
Anyway I need to get rid of ALOT of things:
CLOTHES
clothes that I no longer wear even though it's still quite new looking, clothes that I can't wear because I 长肉了 T____T , clothes that I said to myself maybe I will wear it again 1 day, clothes that I have no occasion to wear.... etc
PAPERWORK
books and reading materials from uni, i still have them. feel sad to throw all my hardwork out though my brother kept naggging at me about them. But i really should say goodbye to them, I don't need them anymore! (easier typed than done).. also some bank statements, old rental contracts/paperwork, pharmacy reading materials etc
BODYSKINCARE/COSMETICS
oh, and expired samples/skincare/cosmetics/medications... I have tons of them... i seldom use cosmetics especially mascara, lip stuff but i like to buy them (maybe I should start wearing them more during work) =.=.. the only ones i use more, are foundation/bb cream, and even those i have lots of them that have been sitting around for more than 2 years, unfinished.. some . are not cheap so it feels quite wasted just to throw them out (i need someone to come and throw it away for me xD)... and lots of samples that I get from work place, i seldom even touch them! (hence nowadays i don't really take samples/freebies anymore).. Bottles of body moisturisers that are out of date..
to prevent stuff from expiring before I use them, I came up with my next goal:
- MOISTURISE/MOISTURISE, MOISTURISE!!!!
Need to start using my body moisturiser and lip balm. My skin/lips are so dry due to the dry australian weather. Bought all these good moisturisers and lip balms but never used them, just checked these products and they were all expired! On the other hand I actually have less expired facial skincare now (excluding body moisturisers) ever since forming the habit of cleanse-tone-moisturise routine 2 years ago.. so this year i shall apply the same method for body moisturisers, and lip balm!
hmmmm 2 goals listed... enough time spent.. to be continued :).. gonna shower now.. let's hope i remember to moisturize after xD
