This month, we are doing a bit of looking back, as well as looking forward. Right now we are in between two big holidays: New Year’s and Valentine’s Day.

So right now is the perfect time to show you some great products that fit two of the most popular New Year’s Resolutions, as well as some really cute products that would make excellent Valentine’s day gifts! Keep reading to check them out.

Exhibit A: Late Start on New Year’s Resolutions

I’m a firm believer in indulging over the holidays, and let’s face it, with classes starting and a new schedule, it can be difficult to find time to hit the gym, learn French, etc. until January is over. That’s why I plan to start my resolutions on February 1st.

For those of you who are also believers in the New Year’s grace period, or who haven’t quite started practicing your resolutions yet, here are some great (and stylin’) products that can help you get going!

Products to help you get in shape

Product Information: Martha Stewart Water Bottles,?Victoria’s Secret PINK Zip Hoodie, Neutrogena Ultimate Sport Sunblock Coach Handbag, Nike Retro Dufflebag, Clinique To-Go Skincare/Makeup Kit, Nike Shox Running Shoes, Herban Essentials Lavendar Towlettes

While we all know it’s not essential to look your finest while at the gym, if you feel confident and comfortable louis vuitton outlet store, you might just exercise for longer…I know I live by that philosophy. Also, its definitely important to take care of your feet and joints, so don’t be shy when it comes to investing in a pair of athletic shoes that are stylish AND will provide you support.

To get yourself gorgeous after your workout, take Clinque’s to-go kit with you. It’s perfect for throwing into your bag and freshening up at the gym. I also strongly recommend buying a sport sunblock if you exercise outdoors. Also, keep yourself gym germ-free by using some fabulous (and flowery) antibacterial wipes.

Products to help you get organized

Product Information: Kate Spade Pencil Case (at Barnes and Noble), Moleskine Planners (at Barnes and Noble), JC Penney’s Jewelry Box coach outlet, Library Desktop File Boxes (at The Container Store), Crayola Thin Markers (at OfficeMax), Anthropologie Sticky Notes

Being organized can help you achieve many of your goals throughout the year, whether you want to improve your time management or just be more put together. As students, it’s really important to have a way to keep everything organized, and as fashionable students it’s really important to have statement pieces (even if they are in the form of monogrammed post-its).

These are just a handful of the really unique organizational tools out there. I love my Moleskine planner and fill it with sticky notes and color coding. Also, I asked for a jewelry box this past Christmas, and my mom just told me to go ahead and pick one out from the internet for her to buy. I found that the quality-to-price comparison was best at JC Penney. Even better, the jewelry box above can be a decorative item for your dresser top.

Exhibit B: Valentine’s Day Prep

Valentine’s Day is the next upcoming holiday (but you probably already know this from the displays of candy and cards that have been up since the day after Christmas). It can be hard to filter through all the great Valentine’s Day products out there, so now you don’t have to! Here are some of our picks for Valentine’s Day shopping.
