Promises Promises

RESOLUTIONS, SHMEZOLUTIONS. DRINK LESS? LEARN ITALIAN? BREAK IT OFF WITH BEN & JERRY? YOU'RE DEVOTED TO YOUR EVENING VINO, GRAZIE, BUT YOU MUST ADMIT—EATING AND DRINKING BETTER IS A WORTHY PURSUIT. SO STEP AWAY FROM THE CHUBBY HUBBY (THE ICE CREAM KIND, NOT YOUR SWEETHEART) AND CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING.

SPECIAL DELIVERY
Indulge and lose the post-partum pudge—without doing a thing. NuKitchen's NuMoms program helps new (and not) NYC moms (and fatty daddies) lose weight through customized, seasonal, portion-controlled fare delivered bright and early each day (you'll be up, trust us). In L.A., FRESH's Fresh Start diet promises to peel off the pounds via daily, chef-designed meals that can be prepared with or without organic ingredients (rumored celebrity losers include Janet Jackson and hot mom Denise Richards). And nationally, Zone Chef offers several 40-30-30 gourmet diet delivery options.

BABY BITES
Have you tasted most commercial baby food? Baby deserves better. Portland organic favorite Nice Cubes sells sophisticated, frozen, baby-friendly combos such as Sassy Squash (with quinoa, apples and cinnamon) and Bandango (banana, mango and vanilla). Happy Baby also purees, cubes and freezes colorful concoctions—pop out Yes Peas (steamed with mint) and Grrreat Greans (pear and mango sweetened spinach) for your little one. Join the Yummy Tummy Club and Homemade Baby will ship weekly, customized So Smooth, Good Mushy, Kinda Chunky baby food bundles for one, three or six months (you'll save a bundle, too). L.A.-based Bohemian Baby's basic, organic purees and blends evolve into gourmet toddler delights such as veggies with coconut korma and zucchini firecracker fritters. BoBaby ships nationally, delivers locally and, as a side gig, offers family-focused concierge services to in-town guests (baby food, child proofing, mommy yoga, pre-natal massage and more).

J'ADORE CHOCOLATE
Resolve to eat more chocolate. Seriously. Just stick to the good kind. The super dark stuff is loaded with antioxidents but the following purport to do even more than delight. SlimDelices claims that by eating three squares a day—of Chocla Slim chocolates, that is—you'll lose upwards of 4 lbs. a month (we're not sure we buy it, but hey, it's a lot better than cabbage soup). Need a boost to your bones? Each delicious Adora milk or dark chocolate disk contains 500 ml. of calcium (plus vitamins D and K). Need something sweet but not sinful? Gayle's Miracles truffles are truly heavenly— calories are kept low (just 30 each) by thinly coating a fat-free filling (we love the new cappuccino flavor).

DRINK UP
Maximize your 8 glasses a day. BORBA’s nutraceutical Skin Balance Waters promise to do more than hydrate—they claim to do everything from clarify and calm to firm and replenish your skin from the inside out. And now, each of the 7 formulas come in crystalline packets that can be easily added to your on-the-go H20. Love that latte? This year, break your chain coffeehouse habit and upgrade to your very own, Breville die-cast espresso machine. Making the perfect espresso is an art (and clearly a science if you've ever watched someone attempt to craft a perfect shot). Breville's devoted designers love thinking through every detail, from how to create rich crema from the perfect grind, to what kind of cup your perfectly brewed beverage will be sipped from. And all that thinking means you can have barista quality without the lines, paper cups, and hit-or-miss flavor. Because you deserve better, right? Right.
