CE LA VIE 2018, it was a pleasure, but it’s time to start prepping for the most magical year yet. How? Well we’re glad you asked…
It sounds obvious, but it’s true. When we say plan something magical, we’re talking truly magical; Book a trip to Disney, plan to see the Northern Lights, build a mini wildlife hub in your garden, go and visit a castle dressed as a Knight. Whatever it is, make sure its something that’s out of your ordinary.
Round up all your nearest and dearest, set a theme, and throw the biggest tea party mid January – the time when people probably most need a pick-me-up! We suggest themed cupcakes, decorations, invites, and even themed music playing in the background. If you’re more of a night owl, have a midnight tea party where the teapots are filled with your own special concoctions…
Less soap and water, more a deep cleanse of body and soul. Maybe that’s a day trip to the spa with your pals, or an evening of bath bombs and charcoal green tea avocado clay purifying skin masks. Start as you mean to go on – as a clean and wholesome bean.
Find out about what’s going one in the news, stay up to date with what’s going on in your local area, and find a charity or organisation that you really care about. We know it sounds cliché but that stuff is good for the soul. So, take part and do your thang!
Whether it’s a wishing someone a happy New Year, happy birthday, happy new-break up, our personalised chocolate boxes and wine bags are the perfect gift that leaves you feeling smug and your pals laughing their socks off. It also means they might return the favour next year…just saying. Go on, make someone’s day!
We all have projects where we’d rather eat pins than get them finished (or even started). But 2019 is not about that life. Finish painting the spare room that looks after all your un-ironed washing, do something with that patchy part of your garden, and for the love of god if you want to lose a little weight just set your secret treat stash on fire.
Pick up your phone (we know you’re probably on it already), open up Instagram, and unfollow every account that has ever made you feel bad about yourself. Goodbye leggy tanned influencer, I no longer wish to see which holiday you are being paid to go on. Goodbye healthy eating chef, I never made ONE of your recipes, and I never will. Say HELLO however, to @vanillareindeer. We promise we’ll make you laugh at least once a day.
If you really need to make a resolution for yourself this year, make it about joy and laughter. Screw trying to look like those photo-shopped instagrammers and going to the gym every day for 5 hours, spend more quality time with the people you love, eat the cake you baked with your family, and drink as much gin as you like. Unless you are trying to lose weight, which means you should have burnt your stash by now! But it’s all okay, we won’t judge you, ever!
