At this time last year, I vowed I would not:
make a resolution that involves a ban on makeup buying.just buy something because it is pretty.neglect what I already own in my collection.be afraid to let go of items that I barely use.be swayed by the fateful words “Limited Edition.”Overall, I think I fared quite well this year. My makeup hoarding buying habits have improved, and I’ve made more of an effort to use what I have from my own collection. I’ve become a smarter shopper too and am not as swayed to buy based on how pretty it is. I am now asking myself ‘do I really need this?’ and ‘do I have anything that resembles this?’ If I say yes, I have learned to walk away…and be okay with it. And as for Limited Edition, I am no longer a slave to these two words. Allelujah! I came to a realization that it’s okay to go without the LE products…and that sometimes, even if something is Limited Edition it can make a reappearance (I’m looking at you MAC).
I have also learned to let go though this is still an area I need to continue to work on.
Why does this feel like a therapy session? 
My resolutions for 2012 are a bit different — less about my buying habits. This year I’m focusing my energies on:
So there you have it. Do you make resolutions — and compare them to the year before? Let me know.
And finally, I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year! Thank you for all the support you’ve given me this year and look forward to connecting with you in 2012.
