Ten Tips For Life
Top Ten Tips: Detox Your Life
The last mince pie has been eaten, the last cracker pulled, the last cocktail drank - hic! It's a sobering time in more ways than one once the party season officially comes to an end. But as well as boycotting the booze and passing on the pies this month, why not resolve to detox the rest of your life? The new year is a brilliant time to get organised, make changes and improve your wellbeing. Try out our tips for a healthier you in every way!
1. Detox your finances
Get your overdraft, credit card and mortgage looking healthier. Transfer balances to 0% interest credit cards, compare mortgages to see if you are paying over the odds and also look at the new breed of bank accounts which combine mortgages and savings so you're never out of pocket. Advice Online will set you on the path to prosperity.
2. Detox your fridge
Out with the ready meals and in with the fresh fruit and veg! Fill your fridge with healthy yet heavenly snacks and keep it well stocked so the temptation to phone for pizza is lessened. Yoghurts, hummus, dips, chilled soup and smoothies are all delicious - and not the least bit devilish.
3. Detox your address book, mobile phone...
And little black book while you're at it! Think about who you really enjoy spending time with and whether you see them enough. It may sound cold but there are lots of 'friends' you cram into your social schedule whom you see out of habit rather than real desire. As for that long list of boys' numbers you conveniently haven't wiped from your mobile - remember that drink-dialling can be dangerous!
4. Detox your make-up bag
Fling the cracked compact, matted mascara and frosted pink lipstick and splurge on some gorgeous cosmetics for the new year. Keep it simple yet stylish and you'll be proud to apply your eyeliner on the bus every morning!
5. Detox your book, CD and DVD collection
We all have mountains of stuff so scan your home and identify your true favourites. Keep items which are gifts, have special significance or you are happy to read or watch over and over. The rest can go to a lucky charity shop or friend! Or if you're in a financial fix (not that you should be if you've followed the advice above...) flog them on eBay!
