2017: New Year, Better You

categories: Beauty & Maintenance, Books, Boutique, Community/ Volunteers, Deals & Discounts, Education, Gym & Fitness, Health, JC Library, Newport, Outdoor Fun!, Parks & Recreation, Small Business!

Happy New Year Jersey City!!

Whatever your goals are, my advice is to pick one thing and achieve that. You cannot do 10 things really well at once. But YOU CAN do one thing really well if you focus on that for life-improvement. Once you’ve mastered the first goal, tackle something else. Keep it simple.

There is room for improvement throughout the year. Here are some Jersey City spots to find your “A-ha” inspiration during every quarter of 2017.
