Jen is a wine rep and knows a thing or two about a thing or two, especially when it’s corked.

First things first, unless your bottle is from the region around Reims, it’s not called Champagne, it’s sparkling wine - or as they call it in the biz, bubble.

If you’re looking for a bubbly booze to pop on New Year’s, pick Pink.

It’s a fresh, flirty bubble from Yellowglen in Australia, it’s just $12 and it’s PINK! It’s cute, and actually very very good.

If you’re a traditionalist, Jen recommends grabbing some Seaview, it’s your regular golden bubbly goodness and has a perfect pricepoint at just $13.

It’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to make your life better - the infamous New Year’s Resolution.

Quit smoking, start exercising, eat better, save money - y’know, stuff like that. Never mind Lent, New Year’s is the time we really take stock of our life and try to cut out all the bad stuff, for a week anyway.

I won’t let you in on my NYR, just yet. I do believe in accountability as the best way to help with resolutions. Telling as many people as possible gives you a support system to keep you clean in your ways.

If you’re thinking about getting fit in the New Year, set a real, achievable and strong goal. Not a “lose 10lbs” sort of thing, but an “I will do a Marathon” kind of thing.

Today’s Province newspaper has the training guide for the Vancouver Marathon coming up in May.

I’ve done 3 marathons and 5 half marathons. It will kick your ass and make you happier. Clip out the guide. Follow it. Finally keep a resolution.
