The start of a new year seems to be the perfect time to take stock of where we are in our lives and the things we'd like to improve upon. Often, though, our best intentions are no match for daily life and we slide back into old patterns.
The folks at beauty site FeelUnique.com conducted a survey last month where they asked 2,000 people about their New Year's resolutions.
