What does Joanna, our super sweet marketing director, want out of the new year?
1. Give lipstick a go
I’ve been a gloss girl all my life, I think it’s time to move on to more pigmented color on my lips. I’ll be looking for the perfect moisturizing, pink lipstick in 2014 to rock on the daily.
2. Focus on hair
I’m facing my fears and I declare that I will not be afraid of haircuts anymore! I must confess, I only get a hair cut once a year because I always regret haircuts after I get them, but split ends don’t look that great either. I’m going to be fearless and get a haircut twice a year now! it’s a start, right?
3. Dress to impress
Austin’s known for it’s very “relaxed look” so we’re very casually dressed in the office. However, the famous Paris Hilton once said, “There’s too many beautiful women in the world to not always dress your best.” I’m taking her advice and making the office my runway!
4. Experiment with eye makeup
I’m a stickler for “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” so there aren’t many variations to my eye makeup. I just stick to one look that I’m confident with. I’d like to grow the variations for my eye looks that I use on a daily basis, perhaps more hints of color instead of sticking to natural shades.
5. Shop more with my handsome man
I recently went to a gala with my fiancé and inconveniently left the dress shopping until 4 hours before I needed to be ready. Yikes! After not finding a dress for a couple of hours, he came to the rescue, pointed out a dress I never would have tried on and it was absolutely perfect! I got so many compliments on the dress at the event. Lots of fashion credit to my soon-to-be hubby!
