It feels like only yesterday we were stuffing our faces full of roast potatoes and pigs in blankets, drinking far too much gin from snowglobe bottles and, er, eating the leftover panna cotta from the fridge when no one was looking. Just a dream. Never happened. New year, new me and all that. But while plenty of us are jumping on the bike and embracing the health kick as we vow to get fitter, cut out the bevvies for a month and say bye-bye to meat, crikey, can it be a challenge. If you're going dry for January, we've tested all the best non-alcoholic wines, beers and alcohol-free spirits to help make your bodily cleanse a success. Plus, we've got handy tips on how to start running and the best fitness trackers to buy. For those taking part in Veganuary, we've put the best vegan meat alternatives through the wringer so it'll feel like you've never given up bacon, and we've also reviewed the best vegan cookbooks and best vegan protein powders. And, of course, as the cost of living crisis continues to make life tough this winter, we're still looking for ways to help you save money, whether that's with energy-busting smart home devices, the best electric blankets and heated airers. |
This health kick stuff is baloney. You miss your weekly dose of KFC, but before you open up the Uber Eats app, hold on a second. It doesn't have to be all doom and gloom. There's a new breed of recipe books that make eating healthy easier than buying that boneless banquet meal you've been eyeing up. |
We've rounded up the cookbooks that will help make your health kick less of a chore. They all contain nutritious, healthy recipes including low-calorie meals and dishes packed with superfoods, but more importantly, flavour, everything had to taste good. |

It's all about to go Spare-shaped |
Even if you're not doing anything to kick start your new year (down with resolutions!), we'll soon be enjoying a bit of drama from our favourite dysfunctional family. That's right, Prince Harry's memoir Spare is almost upon us. |
Following months of speculation, publisher Penguin Random House has confirmed that Prince Harry's tell-all book Spare will be released on 10 January 2023, with explosive revelations (and accusations) all but guaranteed. Here's everything you need to know about the autobiography and where you can buy it. |
Enter the metaverse with the PSVR2 |
The PlayStation 5 shortage may have come to an end, but as one door closes, one made in virtual reality opens. Sony's next-generation headset is on its way, and it's available to pre-order now. |
The PS VR2 is set to land on 22 February, but you can already pre-order it now and beat the queues. One of the most notable features is something called "see-through" view, which enables users to see their surroundings without removing the headset, thanks to front-facing cameras. Want to know more? We've compiled a guide to everything you need to know, including its price and where you can buy it. |
One person has signed up for Veganuary 2023 every 2.4 seconds so far this year and if you're considering taking the plant-based pledge, there's plenty to get excited about. |
For 2023, supermarkets and brands have upped the ante by launching a roster of plant-based treats, from Wagamama's "chicken" noodle dish to a Dominos American hot pizza and new M&S Plant Kitchen goodies. We've rounded up all the new vegan launches this month, whether it's a vegan fast food treat to something more premium. |
