My hair turned out to be a lot darker than I originally thought. It sure is exotic :) But I still prefer it over roots that are showing.
I’m putting aside some more clothes to give away. My closet doesn’t look like it’s ready to burst anymore. And I can see my favorite things better. And how exciting is to finally have a weather to wear skirts and dresses! I could get used to it :) 10 months ago

and decided to give away 5 skirts (some to charity and some to my heavier cousin). I’m getting too old for micro minis :) It feels so good! I’m glad I did it. My ultimate goal is to own only things I love and am excited to wear. Maybe one day it will happen.

I painted my nails too. It’s so easy but made me feel pretty. I should definitely do it more often. 11 months ago

1. Concealer
2. Lip balm
3. Clarins Face Tanning lotion (so subtle) – at least once a week
4. Hair washed every other day (no exceptions)
5. Take care of eyebrows

I could’ve think of other things but these ones are absolute must dos. 14 months ago

and I look like an alien with hazel roots and dark brown ends! And it was not the look I was after :D I think I need to find a better stylist for my color correction – really want to go lighter next time. I also want to put on make-up every time I leave the house. 15 months ago

I did dress up a few times lately, especially when we were in Minsk and had to meet my sister’s new boyfriend. I try to mix up my regular “jeans+hoodie” outfits with something more age appropriate. I also started using a primer – wow, great results! I never was a big fan of Smashbox, but this stuff works for me. I got a few compliments on how flawless my face looked which was nice. 19 months ago

I renamed an old stinky “be more confident” goal into “rock what I got”. Confidence for me is looking good (I am more or less confident in other things). So I will try to dress up more, blow dry my hair, put make up daily, and generally take better care of how I look. I want to look and feel fabulous! :) Silly, I know, but I have so many pretty things that beg to be worn, shoes that are dying to go for a walk and colorful accessories that haven’t been in use for too long! I’ll post my progress here often.
