The first two weeks of January have come and gone but we all know what happens to New Year’s resolutions after that. Everyone starts off strong and motivated but, as the saying goes, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry!
They say it takes 21 days for a new habit to stick, so there are still a few days to go before all is lost! We’ve put together a product guide – all which you can buy now and pay later with Payflex – that can help you set yourself up for success in making those resolutions stay put!
Sleep more. Stress less.
Not getting the 8 hours sleep you need to feel fresh and foxy the next day? There are a few goodies that could support your sleep goals so you can get the beauty sleep you need.
Bad sleep could be caused by an old mattress or a bed that isn’t quite right for you. Consider upgrading your sleep situation by investing in a bed that is perfect for you. Browse stores like Dial-a-Bed, Sleepmasters, Decofurn and more to find the bed that’s right for you and take advantage of some summer special offers!
Shroud yourself in luxury for a more restful sleep. Fresh linen or new pyjamas can improve the quality of your sleep experience. Take a look at luxury linen from Dreyer Linen, Ethos and more or find some dream-inducing sleepwear at The Sleep Collective, Bena or Woolies.
Sleep accessories can also bring on the zzz’s. SleepZen’s sleep headphones promise the perfect sounds to send you into a peaceful slumber and why not try scenting your pillow with sleep-enhancing lavender essential oils from Young Living or Mare&Itis.
Get moving. Get grooving.
One of the most popular New Year’s Resolutions is to get more active, but starting an exercise regime can be daunting if you don’t have a plan or the right equipment.
If home workouts are for you, kit your home gym out with great gear and pay later. Rebel Elite Fitness and Sportsman’s Warehouse stock all the essentials to get you on track for your 2024 fitness goals.
If you’ve planned to take up cycling, golf or another sport to keep fit and active, check out what’s on offer at Ciovita and Cycle Lab or The Pro Shop to make sure you are fully equipped. If you’ve chosen something more niche, there are loads of other speciality sports stores that also offer Payflex as a payment option too.
To stay motivated, make sure you look the part with sports and outdoor clothing from Cape Union Mart and Puma and track your KMs with high tech wearables from NavWorld. Remember that quality footwear, like what you mind find at The Cross Trainer, for sports and fitness activities is essential for comfort and injury prevention.
Don’t wait to lose weight.
Along with getting fit, shedding those extra holiday kilos is right up there when it comes to popular New Year’s Resolutions. Whether its lean and clean home cooking, supplements to support your training regime or adding vitamins to your diet, Payflex can support you.
No air fryer? No problem! Invest in one of the best additions to your kitchen – an air fryer – to help you cook with less added fat and pay later with Payflex at Hirsch’s, Boardmans or AVO.
Get the nutrition your body needs from great brands like Metalab and USN or find a variety of nutritional supplements at Wellness Warehouse. To stay focused and clear-headed, make sure you’re getting enough vitamins and nutrients daily with help from some other specialist Payflex-supported stores.
Wanting to reduce your alcohol intake this year? Why not try some non-alcoholic options from Liquor City to get that summer feeling without the hangover. Spice up a tonic water with a drink infusion from Taste Lab to get all the fun and flavour of a G&T without breaking your New Year’s Resolution goals.
