How to Make the Last Months of 2024 Count – By Alice

Hi everyone, it's Alice here! I wanted to share my top 10 tips to make the last couple of months of the year really special.

We’ve all had busy lives this year, so why not finish it on a high note? Here are some fun ideas that have helped me feel happy and relaxed as we head towards the end of 2024.

1. Spend Time with Your Favourite People: I’ve found that spending more time with friends and family makes such a difference. Whether it’s a simple chat, a fun day out, or even a cozy night in, being with people you love is the best way to end the year.

2. Take Care of Yourself: One thing I’ve really enjoyed is getting outside. It’s amazing how a bit of fresh air can lift your mood. And if you like bath bombs, treat yourself! Self-care is super important, especially after a busy year.

3. Start Your Christmas Shopping Early: Trust me, doing your Christmas shopping early is a game changer! It takes away all the stress, and you can actually enjoy the holiday season without that last-minute rush.

4. Add Some Life to Your Garden: I love adding new flowers and plants to my garden—it always makes me happy. You could even start growing vegetables or fruit! Or if you have a local community garden, get involved and help care for the plants there. It’s a great way to spend time outside and connect with others.

5. Game Night, Anyone? Why not plan a game night with friends or family? It’s one of my favorite ways to unwind and have fun. Plus, who doesn’t love a bit of friendly competition?

6. Walk Your Pets: If you have pets, take them for a walk! I explored my area recently, and it really boosted my mood. My advice? Try it out—you’ll feel great afterward!

7. Host a Dinner: One of the best ways to end the year is by cooking dinner and inviting friends or family over. It’s such a nice way to connect, enjoy good food, and make lasting memories.

8. Brighten Up Your Space: If you’re in the mood for something creative, why not paint a wall or two in your home? It’s an easy way to add some colour and personality to your space.

9. Join a Local Group: Being part of a community is important, and joining a walking group or a local sports team is a fun way to meet new people and stay active!

10. Treat Yourself! Last but not least, don’t forget to treat yourself! Whether it’s buying something you’ve wanted for a while, like a LEGO set, or even booking a holiday, it’s nice to reward yourself for all your hard work this year.

So there you have it—10 tips to make the last couple of months of 2024 really count. I hope these ideas help you finish the year feeling happy, relaxed, and ready for whatever comes next!
