January is a difficult month. It’s cold. People are all bundled up, it’s hard to go outside and if you’re trying to watch what you eat it can feel a bit punishing after a month of eating treats. However, I hope these articles (and items) provide you a little emotional boost and help you feel better.

1.) 15 Ways to Live Authentically and Amazingly

I feel like I hear people talk about living authentically all the time, but it hard to do. I’ve been working with a therapist to do this, so I can say with confidence that everything on this list is stuff she’s told me to try. I suggest if you want to go down a self-care rabbit hole to do even more research on the “15 Ways to Live Authentically and Amazingly” here in this article. It’s one thing to say you need to open your heart and doing it!

Ice is for my drinks and that’s about it. I am not good at ice skating (yet) and it’s annoying when it freezes the doors of my car shut.

3.) These Mermaid Reading Socks by Barns and Noble

Do you know how sometimes you make an in impulse purchase and the next day you regret it? This is not one of those stories. I was standing in line at my local Barns and Noble and I saw these in all their pastel and sparkly glory and I had to buy them. They are called “Mermaid Reading Socks” and I DO NOT REGRET MY PURCHASE. They are incredibly soft, keep my feet incredibly warm and when I see them, I have to smile because they are gorgeous. I feel pampered to the max wearing these. It’s PERFECT for those cold days where you have time to curl up with a hot tea or chocolate and either read or binge-watch your favorite show. 10 out of 10 would buy again!

One of the most popular new year’s goals made is to lose weight, yet a lot of people hardly ever to stick to it. I found this FANTASTIC article on Zen Habits (a favorite site of mine) called “17 Arse-Kicking Strategies to Stick to Your Diet and Get Fit“. I liked this article because it isn’t so strict that you can’t have your favorite foods now and then. If you’re looking for a little extra motivation to get fit, this article is for you.
