New Year, New You! Or does that have to be the case? This year, why not join the growing trend of people looking at alternative New Year’s Resolutions or eschewing standard ones altogether? You don’t need to change everything about who you are just simply because it’s a new year or other people are doing it unless, of course, you need the push to make long overdue changes in your life.
But if you want to make a difference in your life without submitting to the usual “joining a gym” or “losing weight” tropes that are pulled out each year, then this post could be precisely what you need.
This post is going to look at some changes you can make in the new year. It helps you mix things up a bit and have some fun at the same time.
New Hair
A new hairstyle could be exactly what you need next year. Ring in 2024 by finally getting that haircut you have been dreaming of. It could be putting bangs in your hair, getting a pixie cut, dying it a completely different color, or shaving it off and living with a buzz cut for a while. Or how about trying the wolf haircut trend? The shaggy retro look has been all over the place in 2023 and will remain popular going into 2024. Giving throwback 80s vibes, you need to know how to style a wolf cut perfectly to be able to pull this hairstyle off and not look like you’ve just rolled out of bed without brushing your hair!
Get a Tattoo
Now, a tattoo is a permanent change to your body; unlike a new haircut or color, you cannot grow out a tattoo, so if you are looking at getting one, then you need to be confident you are a) doing so for all the right reasons (a boyfriend or girlfriends name is not good enough, a
child’s name or parents however is) and b) you are happy you won’t outgrow the design (remember the tattooed star on the hand trend! That didn’t age well).
Your tattoo should mean something to you, add value to your body, and be something you will be happy to see every day. Oh, and you need to be able to work with a skilled tattooist to avoid any tattoo mistakes or failures you will need to live with.
New Style
Why not use this new year to change up your style? If you have been wanting to try a different look or experiment with your current fashion choices, then the start of 2024 could be the perfect time. You don’t need to change out your whole look, but commit to adding new pieces that you wouldn’t normally wear, try new styles, and play about with your look to see how different things look on you and how you feel in them. You never know. You might find something you fall in love with, and it becomes your new signature look!
Piercings
Been thinking about getting a new piercing? Not sure about what would look good on you? New Year, a new piercing could be the answer to your decision. While others might want to change their look by embarking on weight loss journeys, you can do so by getting a new ear, lip, nose, facial, or intimate body piercing. There are many options you can choose from when a piercing comes out, and if you’ve been thinking about it, make it your resolution to get it done in 2024.
Beauty Treatments
Lastly, another excellent resolution for you to try for 2024 is to get that beauty treatment or procedure you have been considering. It could be booking a spa weekend for a massage for example, undergoing minor invasive cosmetic surgery procedures. You can look at getting permanent makeup or semi-permanent makeup. You can have injectable fillers, chemical peels, laser hair removal, electrolysis, threading, waxing, manicures, and more.
There are so many beauty treatments you can undergo to help you feel good and boost your confidence or improve your skin or appearance. But make sure you get it done because you want to, and it will give you some benefits, not because you think you need to. Focus on the treatments that will do you good, not impact your mental health or change your complete appearance.
Making New Year’s Resolutions doesn’t have to be something that takes away from your life; it can be something that brings you joy and can enhance your life in many different ways. These beauty and style options fall into the second category and can be great options to explore for next year.
