As we enter a new year, it's the perfect time to manifest a new and improved version of yourself, both inside and out. Whether it’s your career, everyday habits, or your appearance, we all want to see the best version of ourselves.
January is the month where we all tend to start the year on fire, setting goals, writing down lists, stressing over eating habits, but the questions is: How we keep this fire throughout the year? I have created this guide to make it easier and remind ourselves that 2024 does not end on January 31st.
1. Set your goals: Determine the specific changes you want to make in your life. It could be enhancing your confidence, improving your appearance, or focusing more on your career. Write them down somewhere extremely visible to you, where you can see it every morning no matter what.
2. Embrace self-care: Start by taking care of your inner self. Practice self-love, engage in activities that bring you joy, and prioritize your mental and physical well-being. This will create a solid foundation for the transformation you seek. And, at the end of each day ask yourself: Did I practice self-love today?
3. Define your new look: Reflect on the image you want to project, and how it aligns with your career goals. Consider factors like your hairstyle, hair color, and overall appearance. I firmly believe that if you don’t feel good on the outside, it’s hard to fully focus on your inner beauty and vice versa. Over the years, I have figured out simple tricks that takes no time in the mornings, but makes me feel so much better about my appearance, and gives me the confidence in the day even if I only have zoom calls.
- Visualize the new you on the mirror and have a nice talk with yourself.
- Moisturize your skin and give yourself a minute face massage, having that morning glow will help you feel like you have just gotten back from your dream vacation.
- A little makeup, some blush, mascara and little lip gloss never hurt anyone.
- My absolute favorite trick that I can’t live without is my Triple Threat No Basic Clip-in Hair Extensions, clips-on. In 3 minutes, my hair looks fuller, healthier and longer. If you haven’t tried clip-ins before, give it a try and I promise you it will change your life. Looking flawless in minutes is not that hard people! You can do it.
4. Prioritize your career: Now that you've saved time on your hair and makeup routine, redirect that energy towards advancing your career. Focus on networking, skill-building, and pursuing opportunities that align with your goals. Dedicate time to personal development and professional growth.
Happy New Year to All of you from the No Basic Team
May all your desires come true and all your plans succeed!
