In the blink of an eye, February is here! Most of us have already given up on our New Year's Resolutions and we only made them a month ago yet we have another 48 weeks until we do the same thing all over again. Why do we do it to ourselves? We only want to better ourselves but sometimes real life can get in the way. For those of you who are still on track, I give you a massive high five! Keep on going! I made some Beauty Resolutions and I've already strayed on half of them! Oops!
If you are on track, Home Bargains have some great items to keep you in check. Obviously, I can't cover every single resolution that you're likely to make but if you vowed to have more quality 'me' time, exercise more or eat healthy, keep on reading.

New Year's Resolution - Have more 'me' time
I don't know about you but I feel that daily life is getting busier and busier and as a result we are becoming stressed. It's so important to take time out and enjoy simple pleasures in life. One of my Beauty Resolutions is to moisturise my body at least twice a week as usually it gets neglected. This is actually one resolution I have kept up with and I've been enjoyed slathering body lotion or body butter on after a bath or shower. I also LOVE candles and often have more than one burning at once. Another Beauty Resolution of mine is to use a face mask twice a week. Montagne Jeunesse are a brand I have used before and will continue to purchase. There are so many different masks, everyone will find a mask they love.

New Year's Resolution - Exercise more
Exercise! Exercise! Exercise! I don't know about you but I have good intentions when it comes to exercise. I always think 'I'll do some exercise tonight after work,' but that never happens. I always get way too deep in a series on Netflix or I need to wash my hair (which obviously doesn't take all night but boy do I drag it out to avoid exercise!) I have procrastination down to a fine art! I'm far from a gym person - I have tried - but I'm still searching for the perfect exercise for me. I enjoy classes but it's having the motivation to leave the house, especially in this cold weather.

New Year's Resolution - Eat healthy
Something I am more successful at is healthy eating. My biggest tip is to not buy naughty treats when getting the weekly food shop. I buy healthier alternatives to snack on - these sunflower seeds are perfect! I do crave chocolate but if it's not in the house, it's tough and I'm too lazy to venture to the shop! I treat myself at the weekends usually but cheese and chocolate are my weakness and I go all out! Which nearly always breaks me out! Unfortunately, I cannot eat oats but porridge is a great start to the day. Chuck in some berries or slice up a banana and it'll keep you going for even longer.

I desperately need to start! I bought a meal planner from Paperchase today so we're going to start planning what we have for tea in a bid to be healthy! I'll start tomorrow as we had KFC today! Oops! xx
