I didn’t do a halfway check in with my New Years resolutions because I forgot about all of them. Some made it until the end of February, some barely made it to the second week of January, but one of them I followed through with until I forgot about it. Typical, right? But the only reason I forgot about it, is because I made it a habit. It was like second nature. Stuck to my guns. I didn’t need to remind myself of the routine I had developed through repetition. Now, here I am, nine months later, still killing one of the resolutions I made back in January.

Okay, so what is the resolution that was able to come out on top above all of the other ones, you may ask?

I call it the 2/3 rule.

1. Hair

2. Makeup

3. Outfit

The formula goes like this…

Mainly, at the bare minimum, I have to do two of the three concepts listed before I can leave my house for the day. For example, I can do my hair and put on a-rockin’ outfit if I don’t feel like putting on my make up. Another variation is bumming my gear but ensuring my hair and makeup are looking right.  Of course, I would like to strive for all three every day but life happens, and you don’t always have time for that. Some days I do achieve that level of greatness. My 3/3 makes me feel like a 10/10!  Man, who knew fractions could be so empowering.

Ever since starting this little goal of mine I have to say my confidence level has jumped from a five to a nine. Not that I wasn’t confident in myself before, but there is something to be said about putting your best foot forward on a daily basis.

After going through my photo roll and trying to pick out some pictures for this blog, I realized I favor having a cute outfit and doing my hair while not committing to my make up.

I try to focus on the stronger concepts I zero in on for the day. I like to think the idea I don’t give the proper amount of attention to is an opportunity. It’s not a weakness because my hair, make-up, and outfit all have potential.

These are some of the different variations I have come up with!

2/3: Hair and Make-Up= Strength, Outfit = Opportunity
