love the beginning of a new month. It’s like the clean sheet day of life. It’s the perfect time to start month-long challenges too and February is the perfect month to do it because there’s only 28 days. I’m taking part in 5 different challenges this month (it’s a lot I know but I’m mental like that). Here are 5 ways to get your shit together in February 2015. Let’s do this.

The Minimalist Game – On the 1st of February I will get rid of one item from my home. On the 2nd of February I will get rid of 2 items and so on until February 28th when I will ditch 28 items from my home. The details are here if you want to play along. 2015 is all about downsizing and de-cluttering in the Smaggle house.
Febfast – I love a glass of wine (or four) but I just function SO MUCH better without alcohol in my system, so I’ve signed up for FebFast again this year to give my liver a bit of a break. I usually do Dry July and Oct-Sober too just give my body a bit of a cleanse. If you’re keen to join you can sign up here . Full disclosure – I’m giving myself one day off on 7th Feb for my cousins engagement party… but apart from that just call me Soda Water Sally.
Smaggle Salad A Day – I started a little challenge in December last year to eat a salad every day and lots of you gorgeous creatures joined in. I’m doing it again for February but this time there’s no prompts – just a simple salad every day. If you want to play along just snap a photo of your salad and hashtag it #smagglesaladaday so I can be a sticky beak and see what you’re eating.
The Whole 30 – I’ve been meaning to give this another crack after failing spectacularly at it last year so I’m giving it another go in February. It’s pretty much a month where you eat nothing but meat, veggies, fruit, nuts and eggs. I eat like this most of the time but this will force me to ditch my too milky teas, after dinner treats and mid-week sushi rolls. I’m looking forward to eating clean for a month and resetting my eating habits. If you’re keen to join me details are here.
20 Minutes A Day – I remember reading somewhere last year that a supermodel or actress (I want to say Kate Hudson but then again I could be lying) exercises for just 20 minutes every day. It sounds so bloody achievable doesn’t it? So for every day in February I’m going to exercise for just 20 minutes. If you’re keen to join in just snap a pic of you exercising and hashtag it #20minutesaday

P.S – Here are more places you can get Smaggled – Facebook, Twitter, Bloglovin, Instagram, YouTube and the Smaggle weekly newsletter. Being Smaggled is a good thing by the way… a ‘smaggle’ is a cross between a smash and snuggle so it’s like getting a really epic hug with lots of nuzzling and squeezing.
