10 Resolutions You Should Never Make

Posted By Marie Claire, Thu, 23 Dec 1:50 PM

Have you ever swore to lose 15 pounds, quit dating unavailable men, and take up a new hobby? This year, we advise against it.

 

1. Get Married by the End of the Year

Marriage is a huge goal, especially if you’re still single, making the odds of failing painfully high. Instead, whether you’re in a relationship or not, focus on what you like about your current situation — you’ve got enough pressure in your life.

 

2. Go Blonde (Or dye you hair the opposite color it is now)

Changing your look is a great way to jump-start the New Year—if the results are good. Radical beauty moves can go wrong, cost a ton of cash and sometimes make you cry. Why not try highlights first? Easing into a new ‘do will boost the odds of a great outcome.

3. Become famous

Get-famous-fast options usually involve sacrificing your dignity and privacy. Forget the Jersey Shore, honing your talents and polishing your work performance will get you much further, and winning the respect of those you admire is more satisfying and graceful.

 

 

4. Buy a New Wardrobe

If you're not socking some cash into a retirement fund, you might want to rethink your goal of acquiring a closet filled with fancy new clothes. Instead, consider upgrading with a few basics and accessories.
