People make the same resolutions each year: lose weight, exercise, and eat right. While these are great aspirations, we suggest going further and stepping outside your comfort zone. For instance, why not strive to run a marathon, learn a foreign language, or master a craft?
It doesn't matter if you resolve to focus on fitness goals or hone a skill — you'll need to create new habits. But incorporating new routines into your daily schedule may be easier said than done. Fortunately, Bed Bath & Beyond has a few suggestions to keep you on track for 2022.
achieve your fitness & wellness goals
To start, pick activities you enjoy. Once you develop the habits needed to achieve your goals, you can add new exercises to your routine. And don't forget to celebrate your accomplishments.
To stay motivated, check out fitness equipment like exercise mats and dumbbells from Bed Bath & Beyond.
organize your life with storage & cleaning tricks
For instance, go through your pantry to throw away expired foods, clear out your closet and donate clothes you no longer wear or tackle the garage to look more orderly. If you feel overwhelmed, try the 12-12-12 rule (donate 12 things, discard 12 objects, and organize 12 items at a time).
Use organizers and storage containers to give the remaining objects a tidy permanent home.
transform your space with home décor
With the holidays out of the way, it's time to bring fresh energy into the home. If you're unsure where to start, something as simple as moving the furniture around or adding new pieces gives your space a new look. You can also explore Bed Bath & Beyond to check out the latest home decor trends.
Try adding a new accent color with rugs, slipcovers, and window treatments. Wall art, mirrors, and lighting that complement your existing furnishings can also do the trick. You'll discover that making these small changes will bring a breath of fresh air into your home.
carve out massage, spa, and sleep time
The new year offers the perfect opportunity to press the reset button by vowing to take a moment to pamper yourself. Indulging in a little self-care can be a great way to start. It can also help you feel more refreshed to take on the busy days.
Fortunately, you can give yourself spa-like treatments at home. Experts recommend soaking in a hot bath or ending a hot shower with a quick blast of cold water before bedtime. Tools like massagers and sound machines also help set you up for a successful night's rest.
maintain a health & beauty routine
You've probably heard the expression, "When you look good, you feel good." Keep this in mind as you turn over a new leaf for the new year. First, you'll need to implement a morning and evening beauty regimen. Doing so will keep your skin looking fresh and hopefully boost your confidence. Depending on your skin type, you may need several products, such as a facial cleanser, toner, moisturizer, serum, and sunscreen. Also, consider gadgets like facial steamers and brushes to facilitate the process.
Set a goal to take better care of your hair, too. While every head of hair differs, each strand requires hydration. Nourishing shampoos and moisturizing conditioners can help strengthen and repair your mane. And a good brush and blow dryer duo go a long way, producing bouncy, salon-worthy styles. If body hair is an issue, look for gizmos that painlessly remove unwanted strands from the legs, underarms, and bikini area.
Happy New Year & Happy Shopping!
