Get that heart pumping
You’ve probably heard this a million times, but exercising has tons of positive effects for the body and the mind. And if these last two years has taught us anything, it’s that our health is everything. But, you’re not going to be able to go from couch potato to professional athlete overnight. Remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day. So, start small by adding 1,000 steps to your daily routine and build up to 10,000 steps by the end of the year. It will boost your energy levels, guaranteed. If you manage to do it outdoor, you’ll earn bonus points.

Get your glow on
The one thing everyone strives for in the skin department, can be summed up in one word: glow. Besides eating your veggies and getting your daily H2O fix, investing in some heavy duty skincare products might not be such a bad idea. There’s no need to have 10-step routine. So, start the year fresh by doing a “skin-ventory”. You’ll be amazed how far you’ll get with a good quality cleanser, moisturizer and SPF.

Tidy home, tidy mind
Most of us aren’t Marie Kondo and do have some stuff lying around our homes – shocker, we know. But the truth is that with an uncluttered house, you'll experience less stress, and you can free your brain to focus on other things in life that are more important. A simple rule to keep your home tidy? Before you get ready for bed, set a timer and see how much you can accomplish in five minutes. With the right cleaning products, you’ll only have to deep clean once a week. Take Yokuu for example, an all-natural and easy to use cleaner that utilizes good bacteria and non-toxic ingredients to keep you home squeaky clean. A very good solution, if you ask us!
And psst, Yokuu has now released a Christmas box, with all the products in it. Not only that, you also buy this box at 25% off. Ideal as a gift to yourself to start the new year off right!
