Most resolutions make it to the second week of January. You can do better than that. Our top tips for making yours stick.
- Eat Healthier
Ah, a classic. There’s no two ways about it: eating crummy can make you feel crummy. Thankfully, with Thrive Market, eating healthy has never been easier. The trusted online marketplace serves up non-GMO, organic, gluten-free and vegan products, delivered straight to your door in a snap. We’re talking snacks (buh bye, cravings), vitamins, supplements, personal care products, beauty products, baby food — and more. Want to eat healthier? Shop Thrive Market. - Exercise More

You could be doing everything right: no electronics before bed, lavender lightly misted on your pillow, a sleep mask to block out the light. None of those bells and whistles matter if you find yourself sleeping on a bed of bricks.

Lugging books around is fun for no one. For your own personal library on-the-go, use Kobo. We recommend Gillian Flynn’s ‘Sharp Objects’ when you’re on the hunt for drama, and Mark Manson’s “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***” when you’re in need of a little something lighter. Want to read more? Shop Kobo. - Drink More Water
Constantly parched? Habits are made to be broken. Stay hydrated 24/7 with S’well: the eco-friendly water bottle you can take anywhere.

In a few quick taps, you’ll have a Handy professional en route to your place in a snap. Want to declutter your life? Sign up for Handy. - Learn a new skill
