happy new year, 10spotters! 2016 was quite a year for THE TEN SPOT (we expanded, relaunched our website and celebrated a decade in business!), but we have a feeling 2017 is going to be even bigger + better.
you’ve got to love the “clean slate” feeling of the new year. it’s the time of year when it’s totally acceptable to make grand proclamations about all the things you’re doing to do (or not do) in the next 12 months.
however, some of our annual resolutions fall flat on their face after about 2 weeks. really, who has time to work out every day, learn a new language AND go on a no carbs/vegan/paleo diet?
that’s why we’ve put together a cheatsheet of resolutions that are SO EASY you should have no trouble following them, but they should still have a big impact on your beauty routine.
without further ado, here are our five resolutions for 2017:
1. i will find a skincare routine that works (and stick to it)
it’s not easy, and it takes trial and error, but finding a skincare regime that works for you is, like, essential to healthy skin. don’t have a clue where to start? pop into any 10spot and we’ll give you a complimentary skin analysis to help you figure out what skin type you have. if you’re really committed to figuring out how to make your skin look great, book a facial and we’ll handpick products perfect for you and teach you how to use them.
2. i will never, ever peel off my gel manicure
it can be tempting to pick at your gel polish once it’s passed its peak. but peeling a gel mani off can actually damage your nails underneath, so it’s a no-no from us. good news: if you’re coming into us for a gel mani or pedi, we’ll remove your old polish for a reduced fee, safely. ps you can also remove them at home with this handy guide from 10spotter Kendra.
3. i will clean my make-up brushes regularly
using dirty make-up brushes. it’s super gross and everyone does it. just think of all the oil and gunk you’re spreading on your face each time you apply product with something that hasn’t been cleansed in weeks. let’s all try to stop in 2017, m’kay?
4. i will always remove my make-up before going to bed
…even if i’m really really tired. read this article and you’ll be too horrified to ever commit this skin sin again. pro-tip: leave some micellar water or face wipes in your night stand for those nights when you can’t drag yourself to the washroom. you lazy bum.
5. i will treat myself occasionally, because i’m worth it
don’t wait around for someone else to treat you. we’re big believers in feeling like a 10 – whether that means indulging in an expensive outfit, a new hairstyle or some gorgeous nails, we know you’re worth it.
