January 3, 2020Sugar Free Cakesadmin

The new year is around the corner, then how can the resolutions be far behind?

Making a new year’s resolution is a tradition that has been followed since long. This involves a person to make a resolution to change undesired behaviour and/or attain a trait that improves life. According to a survey carried out among 2000 people last year, about 88% of the people could not keep up with their resolutions by the end of February. But these need not be yours. As you strive towards the New Year 2020, we will be listing steps that you can take to ensure that your New Year resolutions for 2020 will be followed through and achieved. But more on that later. Now,

The most intriguing question is why do we make New Year Resolutions? Well, you need not stress. The answer is

New year resolutions are for a healthy and happy life

To cover this primary goal, we have put together the top 5 resolutions so that we can live a more fulfilling life. They are:

#1 Eat Healthier

Eating healthy is a laudable goal many of us would be aiming for. If this is your resolution, then do not take up dieting. Devise healthy meal plans that do not starve your body. Focus on healthier options that nourish the body such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, less salt and less sugar.

Pro Tip: To remain in line with your wellness goals, ensure that you reduce calorie intake without reducing the sweetness. Opt for sugar-free cakes for the health-conscious you.

#2 Get More Exercise

Exercise is one of the best habits as it not only maintains a healthy body but will also lead to an active and healthy mind thus improving the quality of life. However, don’t start the exercise routine with the goal of losing weight. As it may not stick. Do not push yourself to exhaustion with every workout session. And reward yourself after every workout session such as a sugar-free cake to be calorie conscious and achieve your fitness goal.

#3 Money-Make More And Save More

Actively look for new opportunities to upskill yourself and networking. This is a great way to lay seeds for better work opportunities with more pay or perks or both. Calculate how much you can save as a safety net from your monthly take home. It is recommended to keep a minimum of 10 % to 20 %. No excuse.

#4 Better Relationships

Don’t make all of your resolutions career or fitness-oriented. Include that special someone in your life in your resolutions. In addition, let them know what you’ll be doing. Work on the relationships be they family or friends.

#5 Live Life To The Fullest

Learn new skills and nourish new hobbies to enrich your life. Do a bit of something that you have always wanted to do. And soon, you will be on the way to becoming a pro at it. Learn to grow confident, develop some social skills, create a reading habit, or make friends. There are other unique and quirky ways to keep oneself engaged in the new year 2020 such as volunteer, take a course, detox on gadgets, maintain a journal and more. You need to think out of the box for inspiration.

These are the recurring goals with which we hope to make a positive change; a change for the better. It includes a more active approach to health and fitness, improved finances, and learning new things for personal and professional development.

As we said that we will list steps to help you to keep up with the resolutions throughout the year 2020, here is what you could do:

Mentally prepare for the goal.
Set a goal that motivates and fires you.
Limit the number of resolutions.
Break bigger goals into smaller goals.
Write down your goal.
Review your goal regularly.
If you fall off, get back on track quickly.

Memories are always confusing, they make you laugh even at the moments when you cry, they make you cry even at the moment when you laugh in your past. Memories are always amazing, they took you back in the world that you love to mesmerize. Today I want to share some of the best memories of me with my significant ones that involve the deliciousness and sweetness of the cake along with the beauty of the flowers.

Though there are a lot of memories that have been associated with cakes and flowers, many good memories that can make us laugh at any moment. A large number of these memories involve my husband into it which instantly brings a broad smile on my face. On every birthday, he thinks out of the box, goes away to make something unique that surprises me with the thought hidden behind the surprise. A bouquet and cake are the necessity of each of the best birthdays hosted by my husband.

Now, being in a long-distance relationship, I used to recall some of the best moments of mine every day and these are always related to some occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries. Most of the best of memories are associated with the deliciousness of the cakes.

This starts with my sister who lives in the UK, I with my Husband Ankit visited my sister’s home to enjoy our vacations. It was a 2 and a half week trip. The itinerary of the trip includes a lot of activities to remember. But how do I forget that during vacations, my birthday was also in the row? Usually, I did not forget my birthday but because of the excitement of the trip, it happened.

Finally, we have reached there in the UK at my sister’s home. Both of us enjoy a lot of activities there from adventure to explore the beautiful environment and so on. There were some moments which can’t even be described in words. Like when we went for trekking, trilling, gasping for oxygen and enjoying the moments. Shouting and laughing, spending some of the most fun moments there in the UK. I can never forget the moments we spend there. Now it is the day of my birthday and I was thinking that because of the excitement of the trip, my significant one has forgotten my birthday. I was a little upset there inside my heart, but a beautiful moment was waiting for me there.

He got a photo cake for me with a beautiful bouquet and a collage of all the activities we did in the UK were sitting in front of me on a table. My sister with my husband, the sneaky people had hosted a grand party as well. I can never forget the day, laughter and fun of the day. This is the memory that has filled my life with happiness. Now, whenever I ate cake, I just enjoy a lot of beautiful memories with it. Think yours!!!
