Hands up those that have made good resolutions for the new
year!
On the occasion of the celebration of the end of a year and of the beginning of a new one the most diversified rituals take place!
In the Italian tradition there are a series of propitiatory
rituals that can be more or less stictly respected, like the one of wearing red
underwear or of thowing old or unused
objects from the window. Lentils are eaten at New Year's Eve dinner as a wish of wealth for the new year and
another tradition is the one of kissing each other under the mistletoe as a
good omen.
In Spain there's the tradition of eating twelve grapes at midnight, a grape for each of the twelve strokes of the clock (the main is the one situated at Puerta del Sol in Madrid).
In Russia, after the twelfth stroke, they open the door to
let the New Year in.
In Ecuador and in Peru, outside the door they put
papier-maché manikins filled with firecrackers and make them burn and explode
at midnight .
In Japan, before midnight, the families go to the temples, where
they drink sakè and listen to the 108
gong strokes announcing the
arrival of a new year (they believe in fact this is the number of sins a person
commits in a year and this is the way to
be purified).
But what is common to all the countries in the world is the
use of proposing a new beginning and new life rules!
Online you can find a flood of advice for any kind of
resolutions and I found out there are plenty of funny resolutions; articles,
books and even apps help you to honor your plans for the whole year and not
only for the first three weeks of January!
So here I am to support the most popular good resolutions,
with a good design apparatus!
1_To exercise more. Gym
memberships have a real peak in January, but if you know you don't have enough
time, I suggest that you invest in some home equipment!
Of course the ideal is to insert something that can become
part of the furniture, so that, even when you aren't using it, it can be lovely
.
Beautiful is the new cyclette made in Italy, pure design!
In a similar shape but with numerous functions the beautiful
multi-concept apparatus.

Waiting for the creation of a perfect piece of furniture,
what I can suggest is a folding apparatus!
2- To lose a few pounds. The subject “diet” is definitely
the most heartfelt, almost anyone has at least a couple of pounds they would
like to get rid of! Here are the design supporters for your diet!
A chopping board that can weigh food !
Zero calorie chips.
Cutlery to exercise with while you're eating.
With this cutlery it's very hard to eat.
And of course different plates and portion gauges for
healthy portions!
Of course plates have their importance to serve dietetic
portions!
3_ To travel. There are no design objects to support your
travel initiatives, but remember to take a few souvenirs from the places you visit!
Now that you are inspired and ready for your good
resolutions, you just have to fulfil them!
Stay tuned
