Nearly half of Britons would prefer to skip February and jump straight into March, calling it the 'Monday of all months' due to gloomy weather and plummeting temperatures. A survey found that 30% have abandoned their New Year's resolutions by February, while a third are bored with their goals and 40% say life starts to interfere after a quieter January.
To combat the February blues, Bassetts Vitamins has launched a 'Fun-uary Calendar' available through a social media giveaway. The calendar encourages one enjoyable task per day to boost mood. EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy, who partnered with the brand, said: 'I've actually never been a big fan of February. Taking on the tasks from the Fun-uary Calendar has brought a bit of joy to each day.'
Despite their dislike, 63% of adults are keen to make February more enjoyable, with 85% believing small things bring the most happiness. Top mood-boosters include watching a comedy, listening to a podcast, and spending time with loved ones. 80% value time with loved ones, whether a hug, coffee date, or reviving old traditions.
Hannah Gardner from Bassetts Vitamins said: 'We know how important it is to encourage people to indulge in a moment of fun each day especially during the bleaker winter months.' The Fun-uary Calendar aims to help people embrace simple habits like taking a one-a-day vitamin gummy.
