The whole, "new year new me" mantra sounds good. I mean, really good. And everyone is about it the minute December comes. Goals are a key and crucial part of progression but unrealistic ideas or no inspiration behind them, often end up diminishing their existence.
I think it's safe to say that one of the biggest areas people swear they're going to improve in is health - be it their physical size or appearance, eating habits, or gym commitments. To be completely honest? I made none of those. But as someone who loves to cook and eat (I swear) in a healthier, greener manner - I seek inspiration on new things to try or educate myself on regularly.
Since the online presence is bigger than ever, with resources readily at our fingertips, what better place to find all the inspiration and motivation you need (in any area). I'm sharing a few favourite accounts, that are sure to keep you wanting to try something new and eat healthy, everytime they appear on your feed.
I love, love, love this account because I appreciate the story behind owner, Angela Liddon's, pursue of healthy living and also because we own the physical cookbooks to match. Oh She Glows is a total vegan haven. This is the account I find myself often tagging my husband in, hinting at the soon coming dinner. Added thumbs up? Even as a meat eater, he's loved every one we've tried as they're jam packed with new and exciting flavours or combinations.

While you will find a ton of kitchen related posts, it's an account that truly acts as a daly mantra to live better, take chances, and be the best version of you.
