"Selfmade foundation?" Care to share your recipe?

I think I will open a new thread for that, I'm just a little bit busy at the moment, stay tuned

Not a resolution I actually made, but the last week, coinciding with New Years, I've been using cold cream and its more helpful than things that are more expensive! :eusa_doh:

Here's to finally beating breakouts in 2009! (I'm 24!)

 

[Fleur De Guerre]

• Stop picking my fingernails and toes/feet. I have nice nails, but the skin around them is always horrible!
• Be more open minded and adventurous, sartorially - towards the end of last year I got a bit too obsessed with fitting into a perfect early 40s look and was kind of scared to try new looks, which is very silly. You still won't get me in modern stuff though!
• On the same note: Get more late 40s-early 50s vintage as my new man is into fitted jackets and pencil skirts in a big way and it is such a huge confidence boost to know how sexy he finds me in them (shallow, I know!).
• Have facials when I can to help my post-birth control acnefied skin look better.
• Cook more from scratch and eat better generally.

2009 Resolutions:

Be more polished - so lipstick and tidy hair every day

Get Back into my exercise routine to loose the last 7 pounds and reach my target of 8 1/2 stone.

Drink a cup of green tea each morning.

Knit and Sew more

Oh and Start my own business

Fleur, you should check out Origins in Covent Garden, they do facials for £10 or £15.

They are fabulous, I adore Origins products

Well,my New Year's Resolution is to set a weekly goal for myself and you have all inspired me to add some vintage beauty routine goals throughout the process.

I usually set my year goals on my birthday (personal new year and such) but here are a few of mine:

Drop some weight and maintain it.
Eat better
Be more active
Get Christmas shopping done before December
Finish some projects I've been putting off
Learn to sew by jumping right in
Be mindful of my thoughts

Hope everyone has a happy and prosperous new year!!!

My resolutions relating to beauty this year are:
1. Talk more positively to myself
2. Do my hair at least 5 days a week
3. Learn to do vintage styles
4. Wear make-up at least 3 days a week
5. Work out 4 days a week to feel better

 

[Dani_Daydream]

1) Set my hair twice a week
2) Never let my nails look like a horror movie again!
3) Carry on being healthy and getting toned up.
4) Have more self confidence.

I'm sure it's been said before but:

-try to wear vintage as much as humanly possible

-try to be more thrifty/less impulsive with my spending (I'm off to a swell start with that one, haha)

-read more

-finish a sewing project at least once a week or two

-master waves with just a comb and clips (tried it last night and it didn't look that bad)

-have a dirndl dress for every day of the week! ;P

-work harder at school. Last semester I slacked off a bit. I did alright still, but I know I can do much better.

-be more social and hang out with friends at least once a week

-think up more resolutions

* definitely learn to do vintage hair and get rid of the 'rolls-are-evil' thoughts
* treat my skin better than I have been doing so far (cleanse cleanse cleanse!)
* sew vintage-style clothing (so happy finding this forum, there's so much inspiration!!!)
* actually WEAR the clothes I sew
