2019 Starter Pack
With the beginning of 2019, we feel it’s the right time to start working again on ourselves and improve the habits we have left behind.
This includes resolutions, changes and new interests. This post is not so much about the resolutions, but about my personal Starter Pack for this year.
2018 has been an incredibly eventful year, with different chapters and experiences in my life and the results have been extremely positive for me. That’s one of the reasons I want to work harder and harder and improve myself and my life. I decided to put together a few items that will help me change some of the habits I wasn’t happy about.
1 – Stainless Steel Straws
Easy as that. I don’t want the stains on my teeth, but I love drinking coffee and all types of teas, so I almost always drink them with straws.
These cute straws will help me stop wasting plastic every day and drink my beverages with some extra joy.
2 – Update on my Toothbrush
Electric toothbrushes have now existed for more than a decade. But for me, the time to upgrade my cleaning habits is now. I have never been attracted to the idea of using an electric toothbrush, it seemed like a nuisance for me: clean the brush, have the charger around, charge the brush… no, I was too convenient for that.
However, I had a hard time whitening my smile in 2018, and many people recommended me to get an electric brush in order to increase the duration of the effects.
3 – Thermal Cup
I have mentioned multiple times my problem with buying coffee – I had a look at the amount of money that I spend every month with my coffees “to go”. I want to try to control the amount of money that I spend on coffee, but I still want to enjoy one of my favourite drinks. The solution? To bring my coffee with me. I already had a coffee machine, so form now on I will try to make my caramel macchiato at home and bring it to my office. Will keep you updated!
4 – Foreo Luna
I love doing my night ritual at the end of every day. This little gadget helps clean my pores better. It’s the smallest compact cleaning brush I have ever seen. It’s easy to bring with me everywhere and makes me feel extra clean.
5 – Pret Drinks
Sometimes, just before dinner (or even after), I get the feeling that I want to drink something fizzy. Does it happen the same to you?
I usually end up drinking some cola or sprite, and that has a ton of calories and sugar.
From now on, I will keep these delicious drinks in the fridge They are affordable, and don’t have added sugars or “nonsense”. That way I will drink them every time I feel like having a fizzy beverage and will try to keep it clean.
Let me know if you are starting the year with some kind of “package”. You guys have been great, I appreciate each one of you reading and supporting the blog. It helps me feel motivated and positive about improving myself and sharing my tips with all of you. I hope we all have the best year and that we get everything we want.

Yeah it helps when it comes to save “coffee money”, just make sure it’s leak-proof!

Great assets for the start of the Year! In my case I would add some bluetooth headphones to listen to music everywhere I go 🙂
