New Year, New You?

So here we are, one week into the new year. Have you managed to keep any of your resolutions? As a serial resolution-breaker, I’ve given them up!

But, if you are the kind of person who hasn’t given up on self-improvement, here are a few fun titles to help you out.

My husband took up meditation a few years ago, and it’s really changed his life. I keep meaning to join him in the habit, and maybe this is the year I go for it? A super-practical book like this one is bound to help!

Dutch Feast

I think learning a new skill counts as an excellent resolution. Make this the year you master Dutch cuisine with help from hilarious and awesome Vancouver author Emily Wight!

Happy new year, everyone!
