Kotur New Year’s resoutions:

Cometh the New Year, cometh the same old New Year’s resolutions. But this year, we’re really going to try and crack them. Honest. To help us on our way, we’ve tried to find less painful ways of becoming better / smarter / fitter / more rounded and well dressed women by making the process a little less painful. Call it incentivisation, call it dulling the pain a little, here’s how we’re revamping last year’s resolutions in the hope that, for once, we might actually see them through January. Well, mid January, maybe…

1. Lose 10 Lbs

In at number one (as always) on our Resolutions list, this year we shall approach the skinny task less with dragging feet than with skipping toes by downloading this high/ low intensity playlist to take us through the motions fitnessmagazine.com/beatit. We will also be doing so in a pair of Nike’s new bright sneakers. Who knows? Perhaps music and fancy shoes will work wear scales and self flagellation haven’t.

2. Get smarter

In 2013 we shall take note of the adage that information is everything, by acquiring a little bit more. We may, however, take a short cut or two.  Here’s how we’ll be learning our new languages – Memrise . Apparently it works. And here’s how we’ll be broadening our hinterland: Intelligence Squared Asia debates. What better way to acquire wisdom than to just let it wash over you. We will gen up on everything from arithmetic to Microeconomics with the help of the Khan Academy videos. Oh, and we will also read Nora Ephron’s last book, because she is our kind of wise.

3. Give back

At Kotur, we’ve launched two different clutches to make this job just that little bit easier – check out our brand new Filmaid clutch and our Operation Smile number for quality. Definitely carrot worthy for even the longest stick.
