10 Things to do in the First Days of 2018
I like to think that what you in the first few days of January will set the tone for the rest of the year. So here's a list of 10 things you should do to start off your 2018 right:
1. Start reading that book you always wanted to read, but never got to. For me, it's 'The Miniaturist' by Jesse Burton. I'm now about 150 pages in. So far, so good.
2. Give yourself a facial/mani/pedi/pampering treatment of your choice. I like to do a face mask, because it requires such minimal effort that I can multitask.
3. Wash your makeup brushes and sponges. You know you should do it. It'll help you get that clear skin we're all after.

4. Change your bedsheets and pillow case. Nothing like starting the new year with fresh, crisp bedlinen.
5. Go for a walk (weather permitting of course). A great way to get some light exercise and much needed fresh air.
6. Clean for 10 minutes straight. If you completely focus on doing this for just a few minutes, you'll be surprised by how much you'll get done. I did this yesterday and lost track of time. I ended up doing a deep clean of my kitchen for 40 minutes straight!
7. Spend time with family and friends. For some of you, this will be really easy to do. But I know some of you will be living away from family and close friends - if that's the case, try and arrange a Skype/phone call or even send them a quick message.
8. Do that one thing that you've been putting off. Whether it's sorting through some old papers or cleaning out your closet, make it your priority today. It may not be much fun, but the sense of accomplishment you will get will make it all worth it.
9. Watch your favourite tv show/movie. Do something nice on New Years day that's relaxing and puts you in a good mood. I will be watching the last few episodes of season 2 of 'The Crown'. It's available on Netflix, and I highly recommend watching - if only for the high production quality.
10. Drink enough water. Everyone should try and drink around 2 litres of plain water a day. You may have to make a few more trips to the bathroom, but you'll feel much better when you're properly hydrated.
