The new year is upon us, and it is time to make or adhere to our new year's resolutions. This year is going to be completely different from the last, right? This year, you are determined to fulfil all your resolutions come what may. And if you haven't made any resolutions yet, here's a couple of tips to get your started 1) Work out  The number one resolution on everyone's list!  Every year, lots of people decide to get into shape and even join gyms to show how dedicated they are to fulfilling their resolutions only to give up quickly.  Turns out, exercising every day isn't as easy as celebrities make it look on social media and movies.
