Come January, many of Us have a list of resolutions to accomplish throughout the year and we know just how hard it is to stick to those goals, so we’re here to help! Whether it’s de-stressing, eating healthier or traveling more, here is exactly what you need to help you work through some of your biggest goals in 2019.
Get Fit: Under Armour Fly Fast Crop Leggings
Unless you’re a supermodel, you’re probably looking to get back into the gym in the new year – especially after all of those yummy holiday meals! These Under Armour Fly Fast Crop leggings are not only stylish with a geometric and understated design, but they are the perfect fit for all body types. There is nothing worse than having a pair of workout leggings fall down during an intense workout. Well, the UA fly Fast Crops, $55, are ultra-snug and feel almost like a second skin, giving a pleasant locked-in feel. They also feature a breathable mesh panel to keep you cool doing your workout and allow the fabric to dry really fast during our next sweaty kickboxing class.

Drink More Water: Hydro Flask Water Bottle
If you’re anything like Us, then you love any excuse to buy a new water bottle and what better reason than to drink more water than as a resolution? This Hydro Flask 32-Ounce Wide Mouth Bottle is probably a small investment for most, priced at $45, but it should last for many new years to come and has a serious amount of benefits. The bottle keeps liquids hot for up to six hours and cold for up to 24 hours and the outside doesn’t “sweat,” which is always a plus. Many reviews explained their adoration towards the product claiming they cannot live without it!

Eat Better: Instant Pot Pressure Cooker
What better way to start eating healthier than by making food right at home. The best part about the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker is that it can whip up a meal while we are away at work! Just put all desired ingredients inside the pot with a specific setting, you can slow cook a meal for hours until you get home. Just like that, you have a healthy, home-cooked meal ready to be eaten as soon as you get back from your 9-5 schedule! This 6-quart Instant Pot is being sold at Macy’s for $125 and can make soup, meat/stew, bean/chili, poultry, sauté/simmer, rice, multi-grain, porridge, steam, slow cook, keep warm, yogurt and more.

Reduce Stress: Candle
While we all probably wish for less stress, less drama, and overall, way less negativity in the new year – there is no guarantee that those desires will come true! One way to ensure a little less stress in 2019 is by getting a few candles to give our bedrooms or happy place a calming aura. This champagne scented candle, $30, from American Eagle is the perfect scent to get a break after a long work day.
