"Stop doing too much to my skin � take it one product at a time. That's what I plan on doing. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like last year's diet resolution � hmmm." -- Auston

But as January 1st appears on the calendar, we are filled yet again with a newfound hope that this year will be different.

Let's try to be positive for a moment and pretend that we might actually commit to our resolutions this year, shall we? Perhaps narrowing the options will do the trick: What are your health and beauty resolutions for 2011?
