New year, new you. Sound familiar?
There's something about the flip of a calendar page and the change of a single numeral that pushes people to crave reinvention. Overnight we expect to be stronger, smarter, sexier. We aim to be more organised and more fulfilled and, on top of it all, more beautiful.
We love a makeover as much as the next person, but is it really such a crime to get through 2017 with the same haircut as last year? Will you really beat yourself up if you make it all the way to New Year's Eve without road-testing a new smoky eye trend, or finally experiencing life as a platinum blonde? Probably not.
In other words, don't pressurise yourself to make extreme overhauls just because. If you have a nagging need to see some improvement, however, any beauty or wellness expert will tell you that it's the little things that make the biggest differences. Like, why splash out on Botox or monthly facials when you're not even washing off your makeup before bed? And signing up for that new gym membership and embarking on a series of Million Dollar Baby training montages won't do you much good if you don't have the fundamentals of fitness down pat.
Here, experts weigh in on the small changes that can produce big results without resorting to more drastic measures. Tiny new habits, same old (awesome) you.
