New Year's Resolutions - Make One Change

A New Year's Resolution is something that goes in one year and out the next! 

Instead of sweeping goals, why not make one small change?

BE MORE COLORFUL

Dont be afraid of color!  If you’re an “earth” or “water” person, you can still perk up your palette with a blast of cobalt, a pop of red, or a touch of green. Accessories like a bold clutch, a bright necklace, or colorful earrings transform anything in your wardrobe. Some suggestions...

BE MORE ORGANIZED

Is your closet crammed with stuff you never wear? Do you have brand new purchases that you pull out, try on, and put back? Try this: pin a piece of paper to every item you own. After six months, if it's still "tagged" that's a sign it isn't working and it's time to resell, discard or donate.

• When it comes to your jewelry, do you spend hours searching for a missing earring, bracelet or necklace?
• Store the same toned necklaces in clear boxes.
• Put earring-bracelet-necklace combos you like in a clear plastic stand for easy access
• Hang your favorite necklaces and earrings on a stand you can see first thing.
• Two caveats: store jewelry strung on silk flat to prevent stretching; store pearls in cloth to let them breathe and keep their lustre

BE MINDFUL

Watch this 60 Minutes segment with Anderson Cooper reporting on what it’s like to try to achieve “mindfulness,” a self-awareness scientists say is very healthy, but rarely achieved in today’s world of digital distractions. It changed his life and might change yours..it certainly made me think.
