So it seems this year is already getting off to a great start – the sun is shining, there’s tons to look forward to and 2021 is already starting to feel like a distant memory.
So in homage to making this year the best one yet, we’ve discovered a bunch of cool things to see, do and treat yourself to so you can hit the ground running in 2022.
From exciting events to wellness tips and a fresh new reality TV series to pop a bottle of bubbly to, here’s what we’re loving in January:
What to watch: The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 12
Guess who’s back? The new season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is set to drop exclusively on hayu from February 2
It wouldn’t really be summer without a drama-filled new series of The Real Housewives, would it?
And as luck would have it, season 12 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is set to drop exclusively on hayu from February 2 – and believe us when we say it’ll be one of the most exhilarating to date.
In the new season, we’ll see the grand return of Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania, Jackie Goldschneider, and Jennifer Aydin, who are joined by their brand new pal Traci Johnson.
After years of weathering the storm, Teresa is finally getting her ray of sunshine and much deserved happily ever after with her now-fiancé Luis ‘Louie’ Ruelas.

With less than a year of relationship bliss, Teresa makes the decision to move in with Luis and blend their families. But her joy is soon met with criticism from the rest of the ladies, who can’t help but question the couple’s future.
The biggest critic comes in the form of Margaret, who at one point compares Luis to a ‘car salesman’ – and in the bombshell trailer, Teresa is having none of it.
‘You better stay the f**k out of my face. You want to try and pop my love bubble? It’s not going to happen,’ she shouts at Margaret during a tense group dinner.
‘You do not want Margaret to be your enemy,’ Jackie warns in another tense scene, to which Dolores responds with a dramatic: ‘Nooooo!’

Jennifer publicly faces the biggest hardship and insecurity in her marriage when family secrets are revealed and rise to the forefront.
‘He doesn’t want to be in this marriage, he doesn’t need to do me any favours!’ an emotional Jennifer reveals in the trailer, before getting support from her former frenemy Jackie.
After the news is brought to light, not only does Jennifer fight to protect her family, but she’s also left to re-evaluate her contentious friendship with Margaret.
Meanwhile, after being introduced to the group by Melissa, Traci is no stranger to the spotlight. As the wife of former NFL player, Tiki Barber, she knows what it’s like to be in the public eye and values loyalty more than anything.
The shocks never stop! Expect screaming matches, drinks being thrown in faces and a plethora of snide comments – and that’s barely scratching the surface
