I detest New Year’s resolutions so, I thought that instead of writing about resolutions I wanted to write about quests to pursue in this bright new year.
Quest – noun a search or exploration.
Doesn’t that sound more fun? This whole “new year new me” is a bunch of nonsense. I love how my body looks and feels and I don’t want to change that for anyone else and the standards that society upholds. Here are the quests that I want to participate in:
Buy More Cruelty-Free Makeup.
As a consumer, I started to be more attentive to what I’m purchasing. I want to invest in beauty products that are ethical. Makeup lifts my self-esteem some days, but it’s not worth it to buy a product that may have hurt animals before arriving on the shelf.
More HIIT Workouts
HIIT aka. High-Intensity Interval Training. I just did a HIIT workout yesterday and my muscles are sore. HIIT is something I don’t do often, but I’m enjoying the higher energy and feeling sweaty after I complete my workout. I want my body to adapt and get stronger and I think HIIT can do that for me.
Drink more Tea
I’m enjoying a sweet tangerine tea along with my sleepy-time Vanilla tea for when I’m tired while reading my book at night. Tea is my go-to at night because it’s not sugary like hot chocolate is, but it’s still warm and flavorful.

Love these quests! I too have made a commitment to only but cruelty free beauty products this year as well! If you haven’t, check out the site Cruelty-Free Kitty – they have really comprehensive lists of cruelty-free brands, and even break them down by category (like drug store brands, etc)

Love it M-Dawg. I’m with you, “new year new me” is silly. You can change at any time! A quest of mine is also to do more HIIT & to continue to appreciate the little things life has to offer. 🙂
