2024 has made a swift entry and we’re officially closer to 2027 than we were to 2019. Wait a minute! What? You can hate me for this reality check, but a new year means making new resolutions and maintaining them. Which, one week in, I can confirm is a mammoth task in itself. January chills have made me wrap myself in a blanket like a human burrito, and only binge-watching shows with zero regrets will get me through the month.
