In other news, if you follow my antics on Instagram Stories you know I recently had a VI Peel, it's a chemical peel done at a local plastic surgeons office. You can see the day by day results on my Instagram Stories Highlights. I saved it all there. But it had me thinking this weekend while I am STILL peeling and super dry (and sick of it!) and it led to a major lightbulb moment. It's cheesy and I've heard it a million times before but this weekend it just seemed to click more than before: it's more important what you do everyday versus what you do once in a while. Chemical peels are expensive and pretty inconvenient (peeling skin in public isn't the most fun experience!) so they are obviously only to be done once in a while. And I am happy with the results... but for the money and the inconvenience I think I would be just as better off sticking to my skincare routine more seriously everyday for good results (we all get a little lazy sometimes, right!?!). It reminded me of the power of small daily habits that help us reach our goals. Keeping my skin looking fresh and young is definitely a goal of mine as I age - but it's likely I have more control over it in small increments than going once or twice a year for a super inconvenient procedure. You know?
Same goes with anything in life... the small things we do everyday have a better chance of adding up more significantly than the BIG things we do once in a while. It's pretty cliche that people say that when you reach your 40s life has a new perspective and I definitely am feeling that lately... I'm all about simplifying, re-assessing where I am in life and moving forward with new intentions. Wearing white jeans as much as possible and making my skin a top priority are two things on that list!
