STYLE | 15 Resolutions to Keep in 2015

There's nothing like a brand new year to make us rethink the way we do everything. From getting fit to starting fresh with our family, the hope of change can motivate us to do some amazing things. Luckily, January doesn't have to mean a complete overhaul of the way you run your life. I personally like to keep my resolutions stylish, streamlined and sometimes sparkly. I like getting rid of excess baggage, both metaphorically and physically. Like, I seriously have so many bags to give away to Goodwill. And while a new necklace or pair of shoes isn't going to turn me into the best possible me, I know they'll make me stand taller and slightly shift my point of view. 

Let's all resolve to be a little more stylish this year, shall we? It might be a small thing but you'll be amazed by how 15 pieces will change your 2015 (or at least your 2015 closet) for the better. As for budget, let's just ignore that resolution for the moment. Oh, come on, it's January - it's the best time for dreaming big, don't you think?

As I sit here polishing off my last box of Turtles (note to self: telling everyone who asks that you'd like Turtles for Christmas pretty much ensures that you'll also receive the gift of an extra 5 lbs over the hols), I am making my plan of rock-solid body attack. It goes a little something like this: start working out. 

It might sound simple, considering I exercised regularly until I had kids, but after sporadic attempts here and there, I have somehow lost my fitness mojo. And so 2014, we need to talk. You are my year. My year to get back at it. My year to prove that I'm still a lean, mean, pushup machine. My year to give this Turtle-fueled heart a little cardiac boost. I know that going to the gym isn't doing it for me anymore so dance classes, pilates, skiing, maybe even a little kickboxing will be my new go-to's. 2014, I'm making a commitment to you (and to me). 2014, we can do this. 

If you're feeling similarly motivated (and I'm not just talking Jan 1st fly-by-night resolutions here...), I want to help. First, check out the cute workout gear below. I consider pretty workout clothes the Jillian Michaels motivating equivalent (minus all the yelling). And if that's not enough?

We're giving away a $100 Gift Card to SportChek to help get you in gear for the brand new year.
