The tree’s come down, the mince pies have been scoffed and your novelty knits have been banished to the back of the wardrobe: yep, Christmas is officially over and we litch can’t believe it.

2018 is finally here – and we wanna make this year the best one yet. But forget about rigid resolutions and rules that are all about change because we think it’s high time that we celebrated everything that makes you the total babe that you already are. This year, go for growth over #goals and see what *you* can achieve, whether you’re trying something new, travelling the world or simply spreading more good vibes.

So, What Exactly is a Vision Board?

Visualisation is one *the* most powerful things that we can do to conceptualise our hopes and wishes, stay motivated and help us become the best version of ourselves – and that’s where vision boards come in. Made up of inspiring images and quotes (and basically whatever else takes your fancy), these must-have mood boards aim to represent what you want to be, do or have in your life. But more importantly, they’re designed to focus on how you want to feel – and keep you positive from now till the finish line.
