New year routines are the new resolutions!

If the January blues are getting to you, you’re not alone. The buzz of Christmas is long gone, the dark mornings can leave us feeling sluggish and the cold weather can wreak havoc with our skin and overall mood.

But January doesn’t have to be drab, in fact it’s the perfect month to set a new routine, start the year as you mean to go on and inject some positive energy into each day. New Year routines are the new resolutions! Helping you to take time for you, slow down and stay grounded when life feels up in the air.

New year routines are the new resolutions!

New year, new routine?

Brand Ambassador Kayla from @reynoldsresidence shares her morning routines and how she sets her day up for success.

I must admit, I, like many others struggle in January. The dark mornings and long nights seem relentless, and I find myself longing for the first signs of Spring. One of the things I said I would prioritise this year is to make more time for me by slowing down, and starting the day with a good routine. Energise your environment I’m a massive believer that your environment has a huge impact on your mindset, so I started the year with some new bedding.

The Coniston range is stunning, it’s super luxurious and brings that hotel-quality bedding vibe to your bedroom meaning you feel like you’re waking up somewhere else, without having to take a trip away! I paired the bedding with some stylish accessories from the Metropolitan range to complete the stylish look.

Dress your bed

I’m guilty of waking up and starting work straight away – which can sometimes mean I don’t make the bed every day – or at least not first thing in the morning (come on, we all do it!). But I am making the time to dress the bed everyday before I do anything else, so the room feels refreshed, less cluttered and ready for the day.

And if nothing else happens that day, at least I have accomplished making the bed! Crisp sheets, a throw and a few cushions give an effortless yet staged look.

Make time for me-time

I’m prioritising my down time this year and taking the time to unwind. To me, nothing says relaxation more than white towelling and robes – it gives me all the “spa at home” feels where I am instantly relaxed. The Brixton range is perfect for this, the waffle design is super soft and really makes you feel like you’re wrapping yourself up in a plush towel after stepping out of a spa.

After doing my skin care and washing my hair, the luxurious embrace of a thick robe is the perfect treat and leaves me ready to unwind in style.
