This year, make those New Year’s resolutions count. How many times have you made a list of resolutions, only to break them all by the end of January? Well, let us help you make this the year that you keep all of your resolution. Here’s to a great New Year, and a New You!

Save Money

This is one of the most popular resolutions made every year, and it seems like one of the hardest to keep. When money is tight, can be tempting to forget about trying to save money for a rainy day, but that’s a terrible idea. Instead, start small. Just put away $5-10 each week and see how quickly it can add up. Consider setting up an automated transfer each week from your main day-to-day account into a savings account to make saving even easier.

If you are saving for a special event such as a wedding or the birth of a baby, keep a visual reminder of why you are saving. A photo in your wallet or one pinned up in your kitchen will remind you constantly of the reason why you are saving money.

Lose Weight

Who hasn’t made this resolution at least once in their lives? Losing weight doesn’t have to be difficult if you use a little common sense and forward planning.

One of the most important things you can do when trying to lose weight or just become healthier is to drink plenty of water. If plain water is not your favourite thing, try adding some fruit juice to it to improve the flavour. Try the Aqua Zinger for an easy way to infuse great fruit or vegetable flavour in your tap water so you’ll actually want to drink more.
