Clean out your medicine cabinet and makeup bag<\/h4>\n<p>Throw out any medicine that has passed its expiration date. It\u2019s easy for time to pass without realizing that some of the medicine you use often has gone bad. The same goes for makeup. Do your research and toss anything that\u2019s beyond its recommended lifespan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>2. Make important appointments<\/h4>\n<p>Need a checkup or an eye exam? Take an hour from your day and schedule any appointments you need to make for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>3. Rediscover the outdoors<\/h4>\n<p>After a long stretch of time spent indoors, schedule a day spent outdoors. Go for a hike, take a picnic, stroll through your city\u2019s downtown area.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>4. Have an at-home spa day<\/h4>\n<p>Get yourself ready for bare legs and arms with a spa day. Give your mind a rest with a long bath or shower. Smooth your skin with a good scrub followed with a moisturizer. Give your feet a little love with a super simple pedicure.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>5. Start a new habit<\/h4>\n<p>Have you always wanted to be that person with fresh flowers spread throughout your house? Go buy some flowers! Or do you want to have monthly dinner parties with friends? Pick up that phone!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>6. Check-in on your loved ones<\/h4>\n<p>Life can get hectic and months can pass between phone calls and texts. Check in to see how the people you love are doing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>7. De-clutter your social media accounts<\/h4>\n<p>Do you follow anyone on Instagram or Facebook that constantly puts you in a bad mood or makes you feel bad about yourself? Hit that unfollow button!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Christen Hammons is editor-in-chief of <em>Bella Grace<\/em>.
