It’s 2017. The start of a new year, and usually, the time everyone makes resolutions they plan to keep, but often end up failing after a few weeks or months. The most made resolution last year was based on exercise, and in general, health and fitness resolutions come top of the list. However, health isn’t just about the physical aspects. This January at HQhair, we’re taking 2017 into our own hands, making resolutions that will last us for more than just January, and we’re going to help you to do the same.
2017 is the year that YOU take control. Think about it, you are the only one that can dictate the way your day to day life goes. Don’t like the job you’re in? Work on finding another. Not 100% confident and happy with your body? Figure out what you’re not happy with and work on it. Want to save money and go travelling? Then do it!
All of this might seem a little obvious, but people often know what they want to change, but don’t take the steps towards actually doing it. It might seem difficult or almost impossible, but trust us, You’re In Charge here.

Buy now with HQhair Make A List
Buy now with free deliveryHead out to those January sales, grab yourself a fancy ass new notebook and pen, and get list making. Dr. Gail Matthews, a psychology professor at Dominican University in California, did a study on goal-setting and found that you are 42% more likely to achieve your goals just by noting them down.
Make your list achievable and measurable. If you want to save money, work out how much you want to save and when you want to have saved it by. This way, you can add exactly how much you want to save monthly, which is a much more manageable target.

Clothes and shoes can all go to charity shops, throw away any old, out of date skincare or makeup products, and have a good clean and tidy. Having a clear and tidy space will really help to focus your mind.

Plan one evening a week where you take a bath, read a book or magazine, watch a film, do yoga, whatever it is that takes your fancy. Actually plan this time into your week; if you keep a diary or add events into your phone, get this one written in too, and only rearrange if you really need to. You deserve some me time!
Our favourite product for a soak in the bath has to be the This Works Deep Sleep Bath Soak!
