goal setting journaling prompts, year round
How are we feeling so far this year?
If your mind seems to be a bit all over the place this time of year, just remember you aren’t alone. It’s never too late for “New Year’s resolutions” or goal setting. An opportunity to reflect, ready for the year ahead.
Goal setting, planning, prepping, habit tracking, self-reflection… these can all bring up lot of different thoughts! Journaling is an encouraging way to navigate all the thoughts that come with a fresh start.
Think about the last few months. The highs, the lows, what could you improve on? Reflecting on the last few months will help you assess your priorities and get a clear look on your 2023 aspirations, identify an obstacle in your success, or a new idea you’d like to pursue!

EP goal setting for 2023.
Ere Perez are committed to lead by example and continue to be the ‘guilt-free’ choice in beauty. Be cleaner, greener and more sustainable. We ditched the lipstick in 2022, for plastic free & waste free (and Allure Best of Winning) Coco Crayons, as well as phasing out virgin plastic across the range, and more.
Our sustainability journey is an area we reflect on year round and 2023 is the year for smarter choices all round. We’ve already reinvented the wheel, and created a world first, patent pending, plastic free, interchangeable & refillable compact case! The best is yet to come.
