These are the Dry January Essentials you’ll want to keep around all year
Not sure how it ended up being mid-January so fast? Us, too. The holidays flew by and honestly, some days it can feel like we’re still recovering from all the hustle and bustle the end of the year always brings. Then there’s the weird week between Christmas and New Year’s that feels like a time warp (it’s called “Twixmas”, actually). Oh, and then there’s the week after New Year’s where we’re trying to get back into the swing of things and get the kids back to school and remember our routines. It’s no wonder so many of us opt into Dry January. And we’ve got the Dry January essentials to make it a great one.
Dry January is traditionally the month you take to refrain from drinking after the holidays, with the idea that people drank often between Thanksgiving and New Year’s and can use January to abstain. But that’s not the only reason. On the flip side, there are many people who take January to refocus on fitness goals, mental health, or just a full-body reset. Lots of folks are also sober as a lifestyle, not to mention people who simply don’t care for drinking. Maybe you’re just looking for some fun alternatives to alcoholic cocktails. No matter what your reason, these Dry January essentials will make sure this month is anything but flavorless.
