2014 How to kick your new year resolutions in the butt: Change habits + learn something new every 100 days





 "2 out of 3 of us make new year resolutions. Only 8% keep them"--Forbes


Some ideas for 2014:
  • Change habits
    • "Instead of focusing your resolution on stopping your bad habits (eating too much, smoking, not spending enough time with family), think of them as learning to do something new (eating healthier; finding new ways to calm and de-stress; discovering shared activities that appeal to you and your family). "--Erika Andersen, Forbes
  • Learn something for 100 days
    • Karen Cheng learned to danced for 100 days (well 365 days)

I believe what makes her story more motivational for the rest of us is this is part of who she is, her happiness is "getting better at skills."  After watching the video, the more I learn about her and how awesome, creative, and smart she is, the more I'm inspired. She is not afraid to fail, she likes to try different things etc..because it's a continuous pattern of who she is as an individual. Feel free to check out her blog (love her post "discipline is overrated") and support her current project/startup Give it 100 Thank you Karen!

What habits will you change this year?

Create a relationship that encourages openness

Is it easier to be consumed in the life I want to live and and not pay attention to the life I have, especially to those who are most close to me. The balance between the external and internal worlds we balance and manage on a daily basis can overshadow how life moves swiftly and quickly through the lives of our loved ones. If I could go back a few years ago or 10 years ago, I would wish I'd take more time to be myself and to build a relationship of openness and encouragement. It's crazy how we can share our deepest fears and our entire worlds with friends, yet, within our own family, we are so afraid to share those secrets. Share your secrets and fears with your family, regardless of the situation, they will be there for you.

5 Wet n Wild lipstick swatches, why customers' reviews are important to a business, WIN free eyeshadow!

 Practicing makes perfect, repetition with practice is even better I had told myself I'd dedicate an hour every day to practicing makeup applications but the past couple of weeks have been so busy for me that I haven't been able to- but then whenever I do practice, I always try the same groups of colors on the eyes and same techniques. My goal is next time I practice, I will have a YouTube video on and practice along with the guru as well. You assume once you watch something, you can replicate the same colors and techniques after- but not I. I do not want Beyoumakeupshop's customers nor my friends, or people I know to think I am always about promoting our own products. I really do try to find different ways to use the products, research on the products and reviews, and I do try to test on myself prior to adding them. I have not tested nor use everything in the Shop, but hopefully over time I will be able to. Why customers' reviews are important to a business I bel
