HAPPY NEW YEAR

Welcome to another wonderful year! I hope Santa brought you everything you ever wanted and more! As usual, my bathroom is brimming over with all my favourite goodies, and a few near ones still yet to try. With some women its shoes or handbags, with me its creams, creams, creams! Face cream, body cream, neck cream, eye cream - you name it, I've got it. Some would say it's a passion, some would call it obsession. Over the years I suppose I've tried several hundred face creams and almost as many body lotions, soaps and shampoos. I just love all things loosely listed 'toiletries'. Whilst I do enjoy trying new make-up and cosmetics, it's really cleaning them off that thrills me. I've cleansed, toned and

moisturised my face twice a day since I was sixteen years old (that's a lot of cleansing!) but I still get a thrill every time I open up a new jar. It's the first thing I do every single day of my life - even before I have a cup of tea, and I never really feel awake until I've done it. And again at the end of the day it's my way of saying that's it, another day done, time for sleep. And although I have my absolute favourites that I couldn't live without, I'm always ready to try really good quality products to vary the routine slightly. I don't know if you've made your resolutions for the year yet but you could do worse than to take up a cleansing routine that you're happy with. You may want to keep it very simple or like me you may want to try everything there is, but either way your skin will thank you for it. It could be New Year, New Skin.

Looking to get in shape this year? Well if you're not a 'gym' person don't overlook the power of walking. It may sound simple and that's exactly right. It's something that can be done any time of day, for as long as you like, as often as you like and requires no equipment or expense. And for anyone just starting to exercise or you are really unfit to begin with, it's a form of exercise that can be started very gently and built up over a short period of time to a more strenuous level. When I first started walking as an exercise I was amazed at how quickly I got out of

breath. I really wasn't as fit as I'd always thought I was! But within a short space of time I was walking further and faster and loving every minute of it. It's the combination of fresh air and exercise, the chance to give serious thought to any problems or just to enjoy the loveliness of the day that I like. And winter walks are top of my list. I get a horrid cooped-up feeling if I stay indoors all day, so no matter what the weather just don the appropriate clothing and footwear - and always choose your most comfortable clothing and head off out. Grab the dog, or your personal stereo, or even better a friend or spouse and set off to an unknown destination. Who knows where you'll end up? You could aim for a particular street, park or landmark or stay close to home by circling each block surrounding your house. As soon as you feel you have reached your destination and back with ease, then increase your distance and pick up the speed a little. You'll be surprised how far you get! A friend who joins me on my walks was horrified to find that she couldn't manage half a mile with comfort when she started. All that car travelling meant she was less fit than she thought. But after walking several times a week all year, she often puts me to shame with her energy. 77% of the British population claim to walk for pleasure at least once a month and with even a short, brisk walk burning around 100 calories you'll never feel better!

OUR TOP 10 NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

We've made ours, some are currently in practice, some are yet to do but these are some of our promises to ourselves this year.

• De-rust and mend the bike that was left in the rain all winter (and use it!)

• Turn out all drawers and wardrobes and donate unwanted's to charity before the end of January!

• Take make-up off before bed EVERY night even when dog tired.

• Buy a selection of birthday cards to avoid last minute frantic

searches.

• Put at least one new plant in the garden every month this year.

• Hem, mend, sew missing buttons on to all those garments at the bottom of the ironing basket.

• Sort out and throw away every ballpoint pen in the office that doesn't work.

• Enjoy a treat of fresh flowers every payday this year.

• Stop buying 2 for 1 offers unless they're really useful.

• Stop chucking till receipts into the front pocket of the already full handbag. Either put them all together in an envelope if needed or chuck out as soon as possible.
