If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again. You might not usually be on good terms with Mondays, but we think that’s no reason not to give this one a chance. After all, today could be the day you take up a different form of exercise, find that perfect Valentine’s gift or even experiment with a fashionable new look...
Good news
Fed up with sweaty, stuffy public transport? According to retail experts at Barclays, there’s never been a better time to get on yer bike. With Olympics fever already beginning to grip the nation, 2012 is likely to see a 5% growth in the cycle market – with more and more people choosing to swap petrol for pedals.
Aside from the environmental benefits and the cost implications (who wants to spend hundreds of pounds on the Tube, only to spend an hour every day feeling like a sardine?), cycling is a fantastic way to stay in shape. So go on, hop on the saddle and turn your journey to the office into a workout – your body and your bank balance will both thank you for it.

The best thing about nail art is that you can really let your imagination run riot by experimenting with recent trends or thinking up your own creative designs. For some inspiration to get you going, why not visit our nails board on Pinterest – we’ve collected lots of fun and wearable looks for you to try your hand at.
Need a little something extra to get you going for the week? We wish we could turn Monday into Friday, but unfortunately we’ve left our magic wands at home. Luckily, however, we do have an inspirational quote to help put a spring in your step – head over to our Facebook page to take a look.
