So, we made it! Another year. I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has stopped by my little corner of the internet – I hope you enjoy spending time here and are looking forward to more to come!

As for resolutions, I seem to remember making a whole load last year, but, let’s be honest, who looks back to see where they fell short? But this year I’ve decided to focus on only one and really make it work, the benefits being multiple in terms of health and mind. And I’m proud to say I’ve already started implementing it – bringing yoga back into my life.

Yoga used to play a big part in my weekly schedule, but the onset of motherhood has meant it’s taken a back seat. I would do it, but (*cliche whine*) there just never seems to be enough time. But it’s about making the time, and half an hour at home is achievable if I prioritise it. I use Gaia and there I tend to stick to a handful of favourite videos. It comes in about £6 a month and is completely worth it!

For me, it sorts out all the aches and pains associated with hauling a growing toddler around; it helps my posture, which seems more inclined to slouch then ever at the moment; it keeps me trim, since I seem to have developed quite a serious chocolate and chocolate biscuit habit of late; it calms my busy mind, I’m always in a slight panic about getting things done all the time and being organised and tidy enough when really I should just chill a little. The daily half hour I’ve been doing so far has helped with all these things and I’m almost getting to that point where my body needs it, which is the best feeling ever! To aid my endeavours, I’ve decided to buy some lovely scented candles to burn while practising. I’ve been thinking Diptique, but they are so expensive! Any you’d recommend?

What about you? What are your resolutions this year? Do you make many or just one? Or not at all? Any which way, have a fantastic new year!
