NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

The tree is looking bare, the mince pies have almost all been eaten, and the January blues are starting to creep upon us already. But never fear SHUStyle are here to help you with realistic resolutions to brighten up your New Year! Records show that last year, only 8% of people achieved their resolutions all year round. 64% manage to maintain their resolutions past their first month, but that drops to a disappointing 26% past the six month hurdle. So from this, we can see resolutions are either unachievable, or hard to maintain for the year!

That's why we're here to help you turn those common breakable resolutions, into realistic ones. Here is a list of the five most common resolutions made on New Year's Day, and how to avoid them failing.

GET PARTY READY THIS XMAS

I love this time of year, it’s the perfect excuse to buy a new outfit to go out in each week. I mean, you have a Christmas party with your housemates, your workmates, your coursemates and not to mention your housemate’s, coursemate’s friend from netball, she’s having a Christmas party too. Lets be honest, the pictures are all over Facebook and everyone has already seen it, you can’t wear the same dress to all of them. But don’t worry, ShuStyle has got your back with a run down of the best, most affordable party wear out there. We’ll have you looking like a glittery Christmas goddess in no time.
