And so the New Year’s resolutions begin, ‘I’m making a list, I’m checking it twice’-oops sorry we’ve done Christmas now haven’t we... It’s that time of the year when we all make those fantastic sweeping statements about ourselves ‘New Year, New Start, New Me’ ( well at least until January 20th when quite frankly it’s too exhausting keeping them all going!) So the list starts:
‘Getting Fit’- Firstly there are problems with this one. I hate gyms, I hate the changing rooms, hate the mirrors and the exercising feels very unnatural. So no gym for me, but I love dancing, so I have decided to join an adult tap class with some friends. I’m sure you can burn calories from ‘jazz hands’ and stamping a bit. There’s no uniform for the class, but I may just purchase a unitard- if it’s good enough for Madge then it’s alright by me.
‘Healthy inside Healthy outside’- Now I’m going to sound like a hippy, but I’m going to try to not get stressed. Well as least stressed as you can get working for yourself and having a toddler in the mix -school starts again this week so this should be achievable (?) When I was pregnant with ‘M’ I did a lot of yoga and meditation and it worked a treat, so I am going to attempt to do the same (yoga and meditation not the ‘with child’ part).

‘New Look, New Me’-(This is my personal favourite) It is about this time of year that my
skin is the colour of corned beef after too many brisk walks in brusque weather (and the copious amounts of alcoholic beverages consumed over the festive season). And a hair cut is the easiest way to perk myself up visually. This is not a decision to be made in haste, for those that know me my tresses take a lot to be tamed; (see right) I’m sensing a return of the fringe...-I am fancying a new wardrobe too but the above two New Year’s resolutions need to take effect before I go spending money on new outfits.
‘New Challenge’- Well this will be the freelance, there’s big decisions to be made. Which projects to commit to? And how much to take on? I can’t wait..It all starts tomorrow and hopefully I’ll be able to get the balance right like before. Last time I was freelancing I was doing work with three main accounts, women’s, men’s and children’s footwear and the diversity was great.
So that’s it my resolutions laid bare, I do love a list be it NY resolutions or otherwise, right I’m off to laminate it and get my highlighters out (hop shuffle, tap step ball change).
Happy List Making!
