[li_item icon="fa-money"]Eat at home. There´s no place like home and especially after a month of lunch and dinner everywhere, but home!

[li_item icon="fa-money"]Sport, sport and more sport.  In January there are probably more gym subscriptions than in the rest of the year because how many times have you heard or said "in January I'm signing up," "this month for sure." That´s great but now it´s time to do not to say! It doesn't have to be the gym, join a sport you like or try an exercise routine at home. If it´s sport, it works. [/li_item]
