@TheWetBrush
It’s that time of year again when people start thinking about the past and the future and, possibly, getting worried about both of them. It’s a shame when this happens because this is also meant to be a happy, festive time of year, but sometimes it can feel as though no matter what else happens, there is always a shadow hanging over you because you don’t feel you achieved much in the year just gone and you’re concerned you won’t achieve much in the year ahead either.
The good news is you don’t have to feel bad about anything. If you didn’t get everything done you wanted to do (or even if you had no particular plans) last year, you can make some changes to improve your life this year – there is always a chance to start over or even just to make some small adjustments and make things better. With that in mind, here are some of the best and, in some cases, easiest ways to improve your life next year.
One of the biggest issues a lot of people have if they don’t feel happy with their lives is their jobs. When you think about it, you’re working for around forty hours a week, and if you take into account having to sleep as well, there isn’t all that much time left for anything else. Is it any wonder people who don’t like their jobs don’t feel like their lives are going anywhere? Most of the time, you’ll just dread going to work, hate it when you get there, and then waste your free time at home worrying about having to go back again. It’s not right, and it needs to change.
If you want to improve your life next year and you hate your job (or you’re even a little bit unhappy with it), getting a new one is vital. You don’t have to start an entirely new career (although if that appeals, it could certainly be worth considering, although you will potentially need some new qualifications to get started, so research is crucial), and you can use your current skills and experience to stay in the sector you’re working in, but work for a different business or boss.
It’s hard to get out of your comfort zone sometimes, but once you do and you find you enjoy your work a lot more, you’ll realize that it was the right thing to do to improve your life.
Maybe getting a new job just wouldn’t be enough to make a big enough difference in your life next year and improve it how you would like to improve it. In that case, what can you do? One option is to start your own business. Now, this idea isn’t for the faint-hearted because there is a lot of work to do and a lot of hours to put in, not to mention you might need to spend some money on setting things up (although that’s not always necessary – it depends on what you want to do), but if you can see that running your own business would improve your life, or even could potentially improve your life, it’s well worth thinking about.
If you have some time off work over the festive period, why not use that time to think of ways to start your own business or even write a detailed business plan to help you start things off in the right way? Even if you don’t begin right away, you’ll have all the knowledge and information you need to get going when you’re ready, and having something exciting to look forward to is another way to improve your life, so it’s perfect all around.
You don’t have to focus on the big things in life if you want to make some improvements; in some cases, smaller things can be just as positive, and one of those smaller things could include getting a new haircut.
A new haircut might seem like a superficial thing to think about, but it can have a massive (and positive) impact on your self-confidence and self-esteem, and it could be just the right thing to do at the start of the year to begin the next 12 months in style and with a new way of looking at things.
Make an appointment with a hair salon and go armed with some ideas about how you want your new look to turn out. Think about the cut but don’t forget the color too, and ensure you ask your stylist any questions before you get started, as they might have some ideas of their own that could give you the ultimate new look.
The thing is, whether you go for a subtle change or a big transformation that’s completely new, getting that new hairstyle is a symbol of change – it might be a small thing, but it could be the start of something wonderful, and by the time the next 12 months are over, you could be looking back at your achievements with pride rather than wondering where the time went.
Following on from the idea of getting a haircut to start the bigger changes in your life, what about doing more when it comes to self-care over the next year and seeing where that takes you?
It’s so easy to feel too busy to take time for yourself, but the problem with that is that it can lead to burnout and exhaustion, and you’ll often get far less done than you might have wanted or planned to because you’re literally working too hard. By taking a little time out to practice self-care, you’ll re-energize yourself and, in the end, that means you’ll be a lot more productive, so it’s definitely something to think about, plus the fact that it’s better for your mental and physical health to practice self-care as well.
Self-care comes in a wide range of different forms, from yoga and meditation to reading and listening to music. Basically, self-care is anything that makes you feel relaxed and happy and allows you to forget about everything just for a while, and it will differ from person to person.
If you don’t think you can give yourself the time you need right now, one thing to do is to schedule self-care into your to-do list each day. You only need 10 minutes or so, and writing it down so you can tick it off could be a good way to show you that you do have time and to get into the habit of doing it. It’s also wise to set some boundaries when it comes to work so you don’t do too much and run out of time for other things (and when you work from home, this becomes a much bigger problem).
If money is the reason you’re not feeling like you’ve achieved much over the last year and you want to improve your life, you’re not alone. After health, finances are what people worry about most, but even if your situation seems unwinnable and you’re not sure where to turn, there is an answer. There always is.
Debt is something that’s easy to get into and hard to get out of, but it’s not an impossible thing to deal with. The key is to speak to experts who can give you advice – and to follow that advice to the letter. It’s also important to work out how to pay off that debt as quickly as possible. Even if it means sacrificing things in the short term, think of the money you’ll be saving once your debts are cleared, and that should give you the inspiration to make some hard but vital changes to improve your life.
Are you starting to develop crow’s feet? And is there a way to treat them? This post takes a look into exactly what crow’s feet wrinkles are and what you can do to prevent/reduce them.
What are crow’s feet wrinkles?
‘Crow’s feet’ is a nickname for the wrinkles that some people get around the outer corners of the eyes as they get older. The way that these lines flay out towards the temple resembles a crow’s foot (hence the name).
The scientific name for these wrinkles is lateral canthal lines. They are also commonly referred to as ‘laugh lines’.
What causes crow’s feet wrinkles?
When we squint or laugh, creases can form around the corners of our eyes. Over time, as our skin loses its elasticity, these creases can turn into permanent wrinkles.
Development of these wrinkles could be a sign that you’ve spent a lot of time laughing throughout your life (which isn’t a bad thing). Of course, it could also be a sign that you’ve spent your life squinting as a result of not looking after your eyes.
Bad habits like smoking and not wearing sun lotion in sunny weather can speed up production of these wrinkles by causing your skin to lose its elasticity sooner. There are also links between stress and premature wrinkles.
How can you get rid of crow’s feet wrinkles?
A number of topical skin products may help to reduce wrinkles around the eyes in the early stages. It’s worth looking for creams and oils that contain retinol, as this is a chemical that is proven to reverse wrinkles.
Chemical peels can also help to get rid of these wrinkles. This involves removing the outer layer of skin using a carefully applied dose of chemicals. Chemical peels must be applied by a professional.
Botox can also be a treatment worth looking into. In fact, the corners of the eyes are one of the most common Botox areas on the face. Botox injections work by relaxing muscles around the eyes to get rid of creases. They are a temporary measure, but an effective one.
Can you get surgery for crow’s feet? A blepharoplasty may be able to help reduce wrinkles around the eyes including crow’s feet and eye bags. This is more expensive that other treatments, but is the most effective long-lasting solution.
How can you ward off crow’s feet wrinkles?
Certain good habits may be able to ward off the development of crow’s feet wrinkles. For example, you can reduce excessive squinting (one of the main causes of crow’s feet) by wearing sunglasses in the sun and by wearing prescription glasses if you have vision loss.
Giving up smoking may also help to delay the development of crow’s feet, along with other facial wrinkles. Wearing sun lotion on a hot sunny day can also protect your skin from sun damage, helping you to also delay production of facial wrinkles.
Moisturizing daily may help to prolong wrinkles too. Moisturizer creams can introduce oils into the skin that prevent collagen breakdown. Consider buying yourself some moisturizer and apply it every day as part of your morning routine.

As the leaves begin to change and nature’s palette transforms, Arvino is thrilled to unveil its highly anticipated Fall Collection, inspired by the rich hues of red, the lush shades of green, and the luxurious allure of gold. The collection encapsulates the spirit of the season, celebrating the essence of autumn’s beauty and translating it into exquisite wearable art.
Guided by a passion for creativity and an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, Arvino curates forty new jewels, harmoniously blending three distinct colors into a versatile and captivating collection. Each design reflects the brand’s dedication to quality, innovation, and the celebration of individual style.
“Arvino is worn by women who love unique, affordable luxury jewelry. Arvino offers complete jewelry sets that make a woman feel and look beautiful,” says Brand Director, Julia Lopez. “We celebrate the wide spectrum of femininity with our designs, representing the inherent strength, sensuality & sophistication of the everyday woman.”
Reminiscent of the hearth, the mesmerizing reds of the Fall Collection’s coral beaded range are nostalgic and comforting. Exuding sophistication and warmth, coral statement pieces give the wearer a fiery confident glow. The coral stone charm chain necklace and earrings bring the allure of the sea to one’s silhouette. For an edgier look, the coral beaded necklace, bracelet and earrings give a provocative, asymmetrical look that is perfect with a T-shirt and jeans, or for warming up at a cocktail party.
The modern vintage range offers a playful twist on iconic looks. Its multicolor gemstone necklace, bracelet, earrings, hoops, ear cuff and ring are reminiscent of colorful, candy-colored jewels of the past. These pieces mix and geometric and rounded cuts, with surprise asymmetrical settings. Pearls and multicolor cubic zirconia are set into 22K gold plated jewels for an affordable, chic look. The modern vintage range also features evil eye jewels—a necklace, huggies, studs and a ring— the perfect talismans for warding off negative energy.
For power dressing, Arvino’s bold gold pieces are a fall collection standout. The 18K gold vermeil Zolotas ring and earrings are timeless, accessorizing with the season’s tailored looks: crisp white shirts, long black coats, and liquid metal styles. Striated hoops and sweet heart jewels add glamour to executive suite looks, for working women on the go.
The Arvino Fall collection is a celebration of life’s rich tapestry, reflecting one’s changing seasons. Whether for a casual outing, formal event, or heartfelt gift, each jewel resonates with an individual statement. “Every piece in the Fall Collection tells a story, combining the fiery energy of red, the tranquility of green, and the timeless allure of gold,” says Arvind, Founder and Designer of Arvino. “Capturing the essence of autumn and translating it into wearable art allows our customers to express their unique style, embracing the beauty of change.”

LAWLESS Beauty, known for their cult-favorite “Forget the Filler” lip-plumping products, has launched their biggest innovation yet, Forget The Filler Skin-Plumping Line-Smoothing Perfecting Cream, powered by MAXI-YOUTH™. LAWLESS formulated this game-changing skin savior as a deep treatment and priming moisturizer, clinically proven to plump, smooth, and perfect the look of skin, much like their famed Forget the Filler lip products do immediately and over time.
LAWLESS’ Forget The Filler franchise gained industry praise with its first launch, Lip-Plumping Line-Smoothing Gloss, in January 2021. The brand quickly became synonymous with plumping and smoothing and began to steer the franchise in a skincare-first direction with the launch of Forget The Filler Overnight Lip Plumping Mask in January 2022. Lip Mask’s active-packed formula went beyond competitor products on the market and quickly developed a cult-like following. Impressed with the smoothing and plumping benefits of Lip Mask, customers began asking for a product that would plump fine lines, add a bouncier texture to the skin, and create a flawless base for makeup. Listening to their consumers, LAWLESS began extensive research to create a skincare and makeup prep product that translated the signature Forget The Filler lip plumping and smoothing benefits to the face. Working with raw material suppliers, skincare chemists, clinical labs and dermatologists, LAWLESS Beauty undertook the rigorous development process that made this challenge a reality.
Forget The Filler Skin-Plumping Line-Smoothing Perfecting Cream is unlike anything else on the market because of its use of Maxi-Youth™, a clinically proven biomimetic hyaluronic acid complex that contains Glycokines™ obtained by fermentation. Supported by peptides and hero anti-aging ingredients, this cloud-like formula helps restore moisture, suppleness, and smoothness to the skin. Forget The Filler Perfecting Cream’s plumping and smoothing benefits also create the perfect priming base for makeup, subtly blurring texture and extending the wear of complexion products. After 4 weeks of use, 91% of subjects showed improvement in skin firmness and elasticity while also agreeing that it was gentle on the skin and the perfect makeup prep. After 8 weeks of continued twice daily use, 94% of subjects experienced improvement in skin firmness and elasticity, while 100% experienced increased skin hydration overall.
“As the Founder of LAWLESS Beauty, but also a busy mom and someone who suffers from multiple auto-immune diseases, it is of the utmost importance that our products go beyond standard parameters for ‘clean beauty’ and outperform conventional beauty favorites. We work relentlessly to move the benchmark of what’s possible, to create a legacy brand that just so happens to be clean,” says Annie Lawless. “Because of our stringent guidelines, we have to navigate around traditional ingredients that are typically utilized in order to maintain superior efficacy. It took us a dizzying number of modifications to ensure the texture was perfect, include the highest concentration of skincare actives, and ensure the formula would enhance the performance of makeup.”
While LAWLESS Beauty was founded as a makeup brand, the formulations have evolved since its inception to blur the line between high-performance makeup for “makeup lovers” and clinically proven clean skincare that delivers visible immediate and long-term results.
In conjunction with expanding categories, LAWLESS Beauty is advancing its philanthropic efforts from annual giving-back occasions to an always-on approach. Beginning on August 11th, LAWLESS Beauty will jumpstart its partnership with charitable organization Beam. Through Beam, users who buy any product on the LAWLESS Beauty website will be able to select from four organizations to send 1% of their purchase amount, at no extra-cost to the customer. The first four charities have been selected by Annie Lawless, based upon causes and organizations she has been close to for several years. Those organizations are Boys and Girls Club, Feeding America, The Challenged Athletes Foundation, and Voices for Children. Customers can see how their charitable selection impacts each organization in real time and will even receive notifications when long-term goals are reached.
LAWLESS Beauty’s Forget The Filler Skin-Plumping Line Smoothing Perfecting Cream retails for $52 and is available August 11th on LAWLESSBeauty.com, Sephora stores and sephora.com. For more information on the product and LAWLESS Beauty, and to see the astonishing clinical before and after pictures, please visit lawlessbeauty.com.
About LAWLESS Beauty®
Founder Annie Lawless started LAWLESS Beauty out of a genuine need for cleaner, better formulations that actually work! As a mother, entrepreneur, bona-fide glam girl and someone who has lived with multiple auto-immune issues for her entire life, Annie simply could not find products with the performance she needed, that were also clean. This inspired the brand mission to create skincare-powered, high-performance, long-wearing makeup with a no tolerance policy for wimpy formulas or potentially harmful ingredients. LAWLESS Beauty is truly CLEAN LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN. We hope you are obsessed!
