Happy 2018! Here’s hoping this year turns out to be the best ever for the world over.

Have you kept any New Year’s Resolutions? A while ago, my resolution was to never keep a resolution again! This mainly stems from the fact that my past promises lay on the premise of exceptionally unrealistic fitness goals and super-speedy weight-loss.

Let’s face it, I’ve come to own my chubbiness and will leave my gymming inhibitions for another post. Come 2018, I’ve kept not one but a total of 4 New Year’s resolutions and I promise none of these have even the slightest inkling about weight-loss… or world peace.

New Year’s Resolution No. 1: JOMO no FOMO

2018 is creeping up on us. Only 4 days to go! Are you keeping any #NewYearsResolutions ? I’ve got 4! Promise they have nothing to do with weight-loss or world peace 😉😁 . . #NewYearsResolution No. 1: To maintain my JOMO & work on quality #metime . . Turning my FOMO to JOMO is a sure-sign of growing older & (somewhat) wiser . . FOMO (or ‘Fear of Missing Out’) is a widespread epidemic. As a working mum who took on blogging as a hobby, I’ve suffered it often. I want to be the perfect Stepford mum, shatter glass ceilings & climb steep career paths, and morph into this social media star who’s seen at every media event. #ImNoSuperWoman and the #BurnOut is real . . But now I crave quieter evenings & smaller, cozier company. I want to sleep in, read more, have more time for creativity… & take more ridiculous #selfies  I want to invest in #ME . . So you’re going to that party tonight? Ha! I’m staying in. Oh the ‘Joy of Missing Out’ #JOMO . . Ironically I’m loving this LUSH FOMO Jelly Mask

New Year’s Resolution No. 3: To Wear Glasses More Often

#NewYearsResolution No. 3: To wear glasses more often #foureyes #doublygeeky 😁 . . If wearing glasses 👓 is geeky, so be it! I've been shortsighted for more than half my existence, and made my peepers suffer with extensive use of contact lenses. But glasses are the new cool! And #girlswithglasses are not all geeks . . Another misconception is that wearing glasses means going easy on makeup. Quite the contrary, wearing glasses means all eyes are literally… on your eyes! This is your chance to glam them up . . And the golden rule of heavy eyes OR bold lips turns to heavy eyes AND bold lips 💋 . . More makeup tips for girls with glasses on thetezzyfiles.com . . Loving my brand new @bulgariofficial frames from @yateem_optician 👓 ❤ . . . Makeup created using the @isadorauae #holidaydivinecollection More deets in my last post . . . . . . . . #bvlgariframes #shortsighted #makeupforgirlswithglasses #geek #makeupgeek #makeuptips eyewearblog #newyearsresolutions #dubaibeautyblog #beautyjunkie #beautyblog #beautyblogger #fashionglasses #girlswithtatts #rosetattoo #yateemoptician #beautyjunkie #isadorauae #isadoramakeup #fashionblacksheep #beunique #twinning #makeupwithglasses #tiredeyes #nerdylook

New Year’s Resolution No. 4: To Get More Active in the Kitchen

#NewYearsResolution No. 4: To get more active in the kitchen . . There was a time when I had an incurable love for baking. Now the most I do with an egg is fry it #sunnysideup . . This coming year I hope to get more proactive with my cooking skills, and eat more #homecookedfood . . This is probably my toughest #NewYearResolution yet 😬 . . When it comes to eggs, I always prefer the Omega-3 fortified @goldeneggs_aljazira More nutrition for your buck 🍳🍳 . . . . . . . . . . . #wannabechef #egghead #homecook #homecookedmeal #homecooking #egg #goldenegg #aljaziragoldeneggs #aljazira #dubaifoodblog #dubaifoodie #uaefood #uaefoodie #poultry #iloveeggs #eggcellent #greateggspectations #watchmecook #huffposttaste #forkyeah #eatwithme #cookingforinsta #foodie #foodieproblems
