Brigitte Bardot was once quoted saying: ” What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.”
At 26, I am beginning to understand exactly what that means. Being 26 is not 16, and embracing my life and responsibilities is an important part of growing up.
Why is it that, as people get older, they become increasingly more obsessed with recapturing their youths – as if it’s something you can lose? It is essential to remember that we truly are “only as old as we feel”, and embracing every new year is a great way to take a look at ourselves, our lives and decide what new goals we want to set for the year ahead so that we can continue to grow personally and professionally.
Resolutions don’t have to be anything extravagant; the simplest of ideas are often the best ones. Here is my list of resolutions that I hope will inspire others.
- Take time for myself every morning
- Go to Bali to research my Serial Indulgence Accessory line
- Eat better and exercise more
- Take a vacation and actually relax
- Make time to spend time with my friends and family
