Well, looks like some of our Christmas wishlist<\/a> was crossed off, with some wishes well on their way to becoming a reality (and some not so much…no new mayor yet).<\/p>\n

Since some people are still trying to shake off yesterday\u2019s champagne-induced \u201cflu-like symptoms\u201d \u00a0we thought we\u2019d help you make a few New Year\u2019s resolutions that don\u2019t suck.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Move out of your parents\u2019 house<\/strong> – We know of a few places…<\/p>\n

Hire an Interior Designer<\/strong> – Ikea is great and all, but really, in Toronto it\u2019s frequented by monkeys in shearling coats. There are tons of unique furniture places to make a statement in your condo – Elte<\/a>, EQ3<\/a>, and CB2<\/a> are great places to start, and they\u2019re all in the middle of their winter sales.<\/p>\n

Go to the gym longer than the first two weeks of January<\/strong> – Seriously, there\u2019s a fully stocked gym just down the elevator. You don\u2019t even need to climb stairs. No excuses, and definitely no pain no gain (according to Mark Wahlberg and The Rock<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The fitness amenities at Market Wharf<\/p><\/div>\n

Take a cooking class<\/strong> – \u00a0Do you know what\u2019s better than cooking a romantic dinner for two? Knowing how to make a gourmet breakfast in the morning. Think about it.<\/p>\n

Learn to appreciate art, and heck, even purchase some!<\/strong> – Because your poster of the two girls kissing from university is no longer \u201cartistic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Read a book a month<\/strong>– Science has shown that people who read books are about 75 percent smarter than those who watch \u201cHoney Boo Boo\u201d marathons*. So really, what do you have to lose? Expand your mind!<\/p>\n

Invest in real estate<\/strong> – Hey, this is our blog. We\u2019re allowed a few shameless plugs<\/a> here and there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Here's Library District!<\/p><\/div>\n

Do some good<\/strong> – Whether it\u2019s volunteering at the animal shelter, or having a crazy idea you can pitch to the Centre for Social Innovation<\/a>, 2014 is the year of selflessness and social innovation. We just coined that so don\u2019t get any ideas.<\/p>\n

What are your resolutions for 2014? Good luck!<\/p>\n

*Not a real science survey in any way whatsoever.<\/em><\/p>\n
