What’s on Your January To-Do List?

January 2019 to-do’s . . . 

For 2019, I decided to join the Word of the Year club–take a peek at this Instagram post. I’m crossing my fingers that I can really embrace it, specifically when it comes to planning. That means these monthly roundups are going to look a little bit different. Rather than list the 10 things I personally want to check off my to-do list, I’m going to share a few ideas of things YOU can add to yours. So, grab a cuppa cocoa and your calendar. You’ll definitely want to pencil in a few of these.

#1 An Outdoor Winter Activity

Bundle up to go skiing, snow shoeing, sledding or ice skating.

#2 Add a Night of Self Care

Say hello to a fruity face mask + a serious binge of your favorite TV show. What are you watching lately?

#3 Learn How to Cook Something

Try making poached eggs, your favorite Thai food dish or a traditional Sunday roast. I love getting inspiration from America’s Test Kitchen. Their recipes are tried and true.

#4 Clean Out a Closet

Start in the very back and get rid of at least 15 unused/unwanted items. You could even resell them for a little bit of cash. I’ve had a lot of luck on Poshmark recently.

#5 Spice up Your Beauty Routine

Get a blunt chop, change your hair color or add a bold lip. The beginning of the year is the perfect time for a dramatic change.

#6 Organize the Pantry

There’s nothing worse than cluttered shelves of food. It’s time to sort those cans + sift through those spices. Anything you haven’t used in the last year should be donated or tossed!

#7 Meet Friends for a Mid-Week Lunch Date

Good food + good company make for a very good humpday.

#8 Throw Away that Old Makeup

Yes, it’s definitely time to get rid of a few things (this chart is handy). While you’re at it, you may as well do some organizing. I love arranging my makeup + beauty products in acrylic containers so I can easily see everything.

#9 Buy a Winter Accessory

In a wardrobe rut? This super cute scarf is a versatile under $50 fix.

#10 Try a New-to-You Class at the Gym

Think kickboxing, hot yoga or good-ole water aerobics. It’s the best way to shake things up. I’m anxious to try a high fitness class at our local gym. I hear it’s a fun way to sweat.

Do tell . . . What’s on your January to-do list?
