2017 is finally on its way. Here’s a list of habits to consider adopting in the new year. I hope they inspire some ideas!
Drink more water (Plant Nanny and a cute water bottle help!)
Get more sleep (Sleep Cycle changed my life)
Go to bed and wake up at a consistent time
Stop using electronic devices before you go to bed
Work out more regularly (Try Seven)
Go out on walks (Map My Walk)
Eat less junk food (Or drink less soda, at least)
Cook for yourself more (Start here)
Take your medication regularly (Medisafe Reminder)
Take off your makeup every day, if you wear it
Wear sunscreen every day (This one’s my favorite)
Clean your makeup brushes regularly
Change your pillowcases regularly (it helps prevent breakouts!)

Consider starting a bullet journal
Use a planner (Passion Planner, anyone? Or Todoist if you prefer digital)

Raise your hand more often

Or just make your bed every day
