Since we are at the end of the first month in the new year, I thought I would share some of the things that have been keeping me on track with my goals this month and just some of my general favorites:

1. Dream Dinners

John and I were terrible about meal prep in 2015 and I knew that January would be nuts for us, so I decided to enlist a little help. I tried out Dream Dinners and it has been amazing! You sign up online and select a list of meals that you want to create for the next 2-4 weeks. Then you visit your local Dream Dinners location and you get to make all of the meals into frozen dinners to serve at your convenience. This has been such a lifesaver for us this month. I will definitely be doing it again! If you are local and want to try it out, I get credit for bringing a friend.

The Southwest Pork Carnita Wraps are my favorite so far!

2. HydraFacial

I mentioned in my Christmas Wish List post that I wanted to get more Eminence Facials this year. After Christmas, I had a spa day with the girls and expected to get an Eminence Facial. Well I found out that MGM Detroit decided to discontinue using Eminence products because they had to be exclusive, so I ended up trying a HydraFacial instead. I had never heard of HydraFacial before or even knew that it was popular with celebrities like Beyonce, Kate Winslet, Amy Poehler, Kim Zolciak, Kaitlyn Bristowe, Paris Hilton, Whitney Port, Brittany Snow, and more! It was AMAZING! Seriously, the best facial I have ever had. I noticed immediate results and my skin continued to improve throughout the following week. I would love to start getting these once a month. I even found out that some dermatology offices do them at a lower cost than regular spas – definitely something to check out.

3. Erin Condren Life Planner

This is my third year using the Erin Condren Life Planner and I love it! I having been taking advantage of all the features this year and even got the meal planner insert. I love seeing my full calendar as opposed to an electronic daily calendar, so this helps me to stay organized.

4. The Dating Divas

Having fun with my husband is definitely on the list for 2016 and the Dating Divas help plan some fun dates and thoughtful ideas to connect with your hubby. They have everything from holidays to just because gifts and more. I love this one for a just because gift:

5. Plant Nanny

I’ve mentioned this before, but the Plant Nanny app has been helping me reach my water goals. This app is like a game and makes logging your water a fun task by growing a plant. It also reminds you in a real way that if you don’t water your plant it will die. I’ve only hit my daily water goal once so far, but in 2015 I probably only drank one glass of water a day if that. This app has pushed me up to an average of 3-4 glasses and sometimes more. I think that is a great achievement.

As you can see I need to drink more water today

What is helping you stay on track in 2016?
