We're three days into the the new year, but according to U.S. News, approximately 80% of resolutions fail by the second week of February. That's why Lori Leibovich, Editor-in-Cheif of Health Magazine, says you shouldn't bother with them. She tells us what to do instead.
Leibovich says that instead of sweeping promises, small tweaks every day add up to meaningful, lasting change. For those trying to lose weight, she suggests eating more soup. Studies suggest that people who had soup before their midday meal consumed fewer calories over all.

The typical holiday rush to malls and other retail outlets on "Super Saturday" fell by 26 percent compared to 2019.

And then there's just a lot more pre-planning, and I don't think that's going to go away," she said. "You saw a lot of holiday gift guides go out earlier and deals go out earlier, so I think that's just going to be a trend going forward." She also discussed how cryptocurrency is going to play a role in retail in 2022.
