Last month, I turned 30 (gasp!). It still gives me a little bit of a heart palpitation to type that out, but nonetheless, it happened. I guess the shock value arises since it’s the biggest milestone birthday since my 16th. Plus, 30 truly means that you have adult responsibilities in your life.
Being 30 also means getting your shit together, right? You gotta make sure your investments are in check, retirement is squared away, and since we’re planning on buying a house within the next three years – credit report monitoring is a definite thing, every single month.
But what about my appearance? Yup, making sure that I actually have a beauty routine is a must, and I have made some pretty simple, yet necessary pacts with myself, with the hope that I will still look thirty when I turn forty in ten years time.
I will moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. Where you ask? Everywhere!
I will change my pillow case at least twice a week. Speaking of pillowcases – make mine silk!
I will make sure my makeup comes off every night before bed.
I will spend more money on beauty products that are high quality. (Post continues after gallery.)
I will schedule a mani/pedi at least once a month.
And haircuts? I will make sure to stop putting them off.
I will stop picking at my nails.
I will clean out my makeup bag twice a year instead of holding onto eye shadow from high school.
I will smile more.
I will pay more attention to my eyebrows and make sure they are plucked or waxed more often.
