If you’re anything like me, you dislike January: the promises of resolutions, the painfully low funds left after splashing out in December, and the lack of events on your social calendar. January has its way of creeping slowly, and making days seem like eons and eons of mundane activities, that can make anyone feel gloomy and low-spirited—particularly with the foggy harmattan mornings.
