It’s one of the most common New Year’s resolutions. After a season of way too much indulging, it’s only natural that a vow to lose weight and get fit would follow. To those who have been at the gym for the other 11 months of the year, the crowded classes and treadmill lines make the New Year a dreaded time. Luckily for gym junkies, most gym memberships go unused and attendance is usually back to normal by mid-February. Why is that? Simple: people are lazy. But what if you could work out at home? With DealsDirect’s huge range of at home gym equipment, you’ll save a fortune on gym memberships and you won’t even have to leave your home!

How did you do financially in 2011? Many people spend money on unnecessary things without any justification. For most people money is something you work hard for and should be spent very carefully no matter how much you have of it. Here’s a simple rule for you to follow in 2012. Before you buy something, always spend some time justifying the reason. Luckily DealsDirect has a huge range of over 8000 products where you can expect way below retail average. So save your pennies in 2012 and find a bargain at your favourite online department store!

Not only is smoking bad for your health, it also harms the health of those around you. Many people cannot give up smoking, even after endless efforts. With support from family along with the help of a quitting aid such as Nicorette Gum, 2012 may just be your year to bury the habit. With the money you’ll save on cigarettes and how physically great you will feel, there’s no time better than now to start. And if you’ve quit before, don’t let that get you down. On average, smokers try about 4 times to quit for good!

Love is a wonderful feeling, a feeling that comes from within. Are you in a relationship and is it the time to get engaged? Perhaps you’re looking to find someone in your life to share your experiences with? It’s never too late to fall in love. No matter what stage you’re at, what age you are, or who you adore, show them how much you care with a gorgeous fragrance that is sure to ignite their senses.

Time waits for none, so don’t waste your time on the mundane and do something you’ve always wanted to do in 2012! Think about where you waste the most time every day, whether it be in the car or on the train and make that time productive. Take a book or audio book on a topic that interests you and immerse yourself in it. Cut out time you spend watching TV and learn a new skill like cooking. You can even involve the kids. It’s a great way to express your creativity, whilst bonding with those you love!

Punctuality and organisation are crucial in people lives, for their own sanity and for the sanity of others around them.

Even your workspace can benefit. Keep all important documentation filed and books stored with an ideal office solution.

Home is where the heart is, so when 2012 comes many of us will endeavour to renovate the roof over our heads. Fact; it’s a lot cheaper to Do-It-Yourself and definitely a lot more rewarding when you look back at your handy work. With DealsDirect’s vast selection of gardening supplies, work tools and stylish homewares, you have no excuse to not make this resolution a reality!

This one can sometimes be a little tricky if your loved ones aren’t up for a moderate change. But fear not! You can easily sneak vegies into your Bolognese, meatloaf or stews without the kids (and dad) even realising it! Steam your food rather than frying it, make your own fresh fruit and vegie juices with a great juicer or healthy fresh loaves with a good breadmaker and know what goes into your food!

Last but not least, make the most of every day you live! Surround yourself with positive people who motivate you to be the best and find a reason every day to enjoy life at home and at work. When you take that little time to make the most of all you do, life’s little chores become a lot easier. Remember life is journey, not a destination – make the most of it!
