New Year's Resolutions to Try in 2022


New Year's resolutions are not something I enjoy, mainly because I fall short on those goals. Do you feel the same way? According to one study, about 80% of people who make New Year's resolutions have given them up by the second week of February. Have you heard of  "Quitter's Day"? January 19th seems to be the day most people quit their resolutions and goals, based on research from more than 800 million user-logged activities in 2019. I believe it is possible to accomplish those goals as long as you're being realistic.

Start small. The smaller the goal, the bigger the impact it can have on your life and the more likely you will see it through.

Whether it's self-care, learning something new, or just trying to be a better person overall, you can achieve those goals and a brighter future for yourself.

I've come up with 50 NY resolutions (with the help of some articles I read in Woman's Day MagazineVery Well Mind, and The Pioneer Woman) that might help and encourage you on your journey.



  • Develop a skincare routine.
  • Relax.
  • Be more mindful of your health. There are a ton of apps to help you.
  • Book your doctor appointments for the year.
  • Be intentional.
  • Learn to find peace in the middle of chaos.
  • Get creative. Pick up a hobby.
  • Declutter and get organized.
  • Sleep more.
  • Start journaling.
  • Take a social media break.


  • Travel, even if it’s to the next town over.

  • Put your phone down and be in the moment.
  • Look on the bright side.
  • Make a new friend.
  • Try new foods.
  • Listen more to music.
  • Read more books.


  • Spend more time with people who bring you joy.

  • Spend less time in front of the TV, and more time connecting with those you love.
  • Listen intently, and don't give advice unless it's asked for.
  • Make sure friends and family know how much you love them every day.
  • Get to know your coworkers better.
  • Send more greeting cards.


  • Avoid the impulse of looking at your phone as soon as you wake up.
  • Be a happier person by ending communication with anyone who isn’t making your life better.
  • Unfollow negative people on social media.
  • Empathize more and judge less.
  • Practice saying "NO".


  • Speak kindly to yourself.
  • Forgive yourself for infractions big and small.

  • Take one small step towards your "someday," every day.
  • Don't say "I'm sorry" unless you really mean it.
  • Accept compliments by saying "thank you," and nothing more.
  • Celebrate small wins.
  • Stop comparing yourself to others. 


  • Take the stairs instead of the elevator whenever possible.
  • Drink more water.
  • Do something healthy every day, even if it's just drinking a cup of green tea.
  • Limit alcoholic beverages.
  • Take routine walks and track your steps.
  • Eat more fruits and vegetables.
  • Try a new healthy recipe at least once a week.


  • Track your spending.
  • Stop all of your non-essential spending for a certain amount of time, whether it's for a day, a week, or a month.
  • Learn to recognize your worth and then ask for it.
  • Start investing for a sound future.
  • Get in the habit of checking your bank account daily.  In addition to helping you stay on top of your spending and any deposits, it can also alert you to any fraudulent charges, which are always important to get ahead of.
  • Pick up a side hustle.
  • Save for a rainy day.

Mistakes We Make While Wearing Face Masks

Quilted Mask made by KellyJo Designs


I don't know about you, but when I'm out an about where there are people close, I wear a mask. I believe this is going to be the way of life for some time to come. I also believe that staying healthy is a priority in my life and I would want to know how to handle wearing a mask the proper way when out in public.

Here are a few mistakes made while wearing a mask and how to prevent them:
  1. Putting it on and taking it off incorrectly is a biggie. Remember to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before handling your mask after being in a public place. It's all about hygiene folks. Better safe than sorry. When taking your mask off, make sure you handle the mask by the ear loops or ties.
  2. Wearing it the wrong way. If your mask has pleats, they go on the outside, and the folded edge should be on the bottom. The mask should fit snugly, covering your nose and mouth completely without gaps but still allowing you to breathe naturally, according to the CDC. The sides of the mask should extend at least an inch past each corner of your mouth, and the bottom should wrap under your chin, which serves as an anchor.
  3. Putting it on too late. Many people put on their masks as they enter a grocery store or other essential business, but that may be too late because unforeseen interactions can occur earlier. Ideally, you should put on your mask before you step out of your front door. If you live in an apartment, that’s especially important, noting that elevators and stairwells can be especially germy. I live in a house where neighbors aren't so close, so typically I don't put it on until right before getting out my car.  
  4. Contaminating It. Stop touching your face. Really. I must admit I fiddle with my mask while wearing it and I shouldn't be doing that because I'm contaminating the mask with my hands. The nose, mouth and eyes are the main way we get the virus. I need to be more aware and have a bottle a hand sanitizer on me all the time so if I have to touch my mask, I'll be prepared. 
  5. Not Washing Your Mask. If you wear a cloth mask frequently, it’s best to wash it every time you wear it. Use detergent in the hottest water the fabric can withstand. This is not the time to think about brightening the colors. Heat definitely kill s germs. One way we've been sterilizing our masks is by hanging them over the rearview mirror. It's been hot lately and the sun definitely cooks things. Not sure it's the best way but God gave us the sun and I'm gonna use it :) 
  6. Wearing it for the Wrong Reason. Wearing a mask in public is not so much protecting you as it’s protecting others around you in that six feet of space. A growing body of research suggests the novel coronavirus is likely spread by people who don’t show symptoms. That could even be you. And that’s the most important reason to wear a mask.
I hope this helps in your journey to staying healthy during the coronavirus pandemic and praying that you stay safe and healthy always!!

Love and best wishes,
Kelly

Are you on a weight loss journey? Who isn't? We all want to be healthy and live a sassy life.

  • 1 Cup Fresh or Frozen Strawberries
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon of honey, chia seeds, or cocoa powder
Instructions
  1. Rinse if using fresh berries 
  2. Add milk and berries to blender and pulse in 30-second increments until desired consistency
  3. Optionally add honey
Enjoy a smoothie and watch our YouTube video as we talk about weight loss.

Keep it sassy,

Cathy, Rhonda, and Kelly
