Christmas is over and we had a long break over holidays…lot of food, time in front of the TV and also bit of bubbly and wine. And there is January and we all are back to reality. If you live in Europe you probably have to face also miserable weather and for a long time not much to look forward for. It is cold, people spent lot of money in December so saving is in place and most of us want to start eating healthy and stop drinking.

Ok, I will admit I have been hit hard this January. I came back from Malaysia and Hong Kong and the weather is not great. January for me is one of the most depressing months. So how can we all fight the January blues? Here are some small tips that may bring a bit of smile on your face.

1. Favourite TV series marathon – it will not cost you much and you will entertain yourself on budget. I have been all over Gossip Girl from start and I love it.

2. Read a good book – This is another very cheap way how to cheer yourself up. And imagine snuggling on the sofa with a cup of tea and your latest bestseller.

3. Organise a pampering session in with your girlfriends – To keep the cost down just make sure you plan this well and each friend will bring something different. And don’t worry you can always prepare healthy menus to keep that new year resolution.

4. Keep active – no need to kill yourself in the gym in January. I personally stay away from my gym in January as the first Monday was just a disaster. Long wait for everything and all the newbies that sign up. Just stay active with small things like walking, short run or swimming. Whatever makes you happy.

5. Shop – Hello, sales are here. And although you may be skint after December you can still look as the discounts are incredible. You may find that amazing piece that will be great for the next season. Just don’t overdo it.

Je po Vanocich, prejidani, piti alkoholu a hlavne vetsina z nas utratila spoustu penez. A mame tu leden. Mesic, ktery je ponury, dlouhy a dlouho se neni na co tesit (pokud vas neceka teda nejaky super vylet na hory). Ja jsem se po navratu z Malajsie a Hong Kongu vratila do studeneho Londyna a musim priznat, ze letos s lednovym splinem opravdu bojuju. 

Vetsina lidi se odhlodla cvicit, jit zdrave a setrit a tak nam moc na zabavu jak ji zname nezbyva. A jak teda letos bojuju ja? Sepsala jsem par tipu jak se v tomto pochmurnem obdobi rozveselit.

1. Oblibeny serialovy maraton – Ja jsem se rozhodla si pustit od zacatku serial Gossip Girl. Nebude vas to stat moc penez a kazdy den se mate na co tesit.
2. Precist si nejakou skvelou knizku – za malo penez hodne muziky. A navic si predstavte tu pohodu doma v teplicku.
3. Co tak pyzamova party – muzete se domluvit a kazda kamaradka prinese neco. Muzete si dat pletove masky, delat nehty a u toho jist…samozrejme neco zdraveho. Nemusite zapominat na novorocni predsevzeti.
4. Hybejte se – Nemusite se pomalu zabit ve fitku. Ja osobne se fitku v lednu spise vyhybam. Prvni pondeli v lednu jsem malem sedla na zadek jak bylo narvano. Lednovy nadsenci, kteri se rozhodli zhubnout a byt fit zabrali vsechny mista neslo se ani pohnout. Staci zkratka pohyb jako beh, chuze ci plavani. Hlavne to neprehanet a at vam to dela spise radost. 
5. Nakupy – zimni slevy byvaji snad ty nejlepsi. A i kdyz urcite po Vanocich neni moc na rozhazovani, je urcite dobre prozkoumat ty nejlepsi akci. Nikdy nevite, co objevite. A vase ulovky se budou urcite hodit i na dalsi rok.
