Research has found that British people love playing it safe when booking holidays - but this means they regret not trying new things...
We're all guilty of it - we quite often return to the same places for holidays or the same hotels because it's just easier, isn't it?
And as we all know, as Brits, we HATE change.
But it turns out that sticking to what we know is having a detrimental effect on our happiness.

Abigail James' top 7 tips for healthy skin in winter (slider)

1. Say goodbye to unnecessary chemicals
"Some fragrances and colours are skin irritants and have no actual benefits for the skin - they simply look and smell nice. "According to the research almost two thirds of British women are concerned about the chemicals in their personal care products so my advice would be to avoid unnecessary chemical ingredients and look for shower gels and deodorants that are kinder to skin - such as the Sanex Zero% range which is formulated with 0% colourants, 0% soap and 0% parabens."
2. Avoid low fat diets
"When it comes to holistic health, achieving a healthy balance is really important. Choose healthy fats for healthy cell function – this can be added into your diet through foods such as avocadoes, fish, nuts and seeds and plant oils such as flax and hemp. "Another tip is to ditch the processed margarines. If you're going to have butter then make it organic natural butter which has less synthetic ingredients."
3. Try light exercise
"Getting up and moving daily will boost circulation, and getting your muscles moving will increase your levels of 'happy' hormones or endorphins and blood flow. This in turn will give your skin a lovely healthy glow. "It doesn't matter whether it's a light stroll or training at the gym, as long as you're moving your skin will feel the benefits."
4. Get an early night
"Lack of sleep increases the visible appearance of ageing, such as dark circles caused by sluggish circulation."With that in mind say goodbye to your phone or tablet at least an hour before going to bed and try to get a good night's sleep – your skin will thank you for it."
5. Reduce sugar intake
"A high intake of sugar can cause an inflammatory reaction within the skin resulting in a whole host of skin conditions, from acne and rosacea to premature ageing and dry skin. "A little treat every now and then won't hurt, but try to keep an eye on your sugar levels if you're looking to keep skin healthy."
6. Curb the caffeine
"Too much coffee or caffeinated drinks can put extra stress on the liver and digestive system which impacts your body's natural detoxification process. "This build-up of toxins can have a negative effect on the health of your skin causing issues such as dry skin, redness and sensitivity."
7. Skincare shouldn't stop at your face
"There can often be a temptation to focus on the health of the skin on our faces but we must remember that the whole body is covered in skin which is the largest organ of your body – so we need to make sure we are giving it the care it deserves."Our skin absorbs a percentage of the products we apply, so choose products that are gentle on skin with natural moisturisers."
Research undertaken on behalf of Royal Caribbean International found that we tend to worry so much about the language barrier and not understanding the currency and local customs that we'd rather just go back to somewhere we've been before than branch out.
Shockingly, one in 10 adults will even visit the same resort a whopping 11 times, with 15% of people saying that they prefer going on holiday in the same location because they would worry about the weather in a new location.
Why are we worrying so much, people?!

Having said that, your one main holiday a year should be time devoted to doing what you absolutely want to do - and if trying somewhere new would stress you out, then that ruins the point of a holiday, right?!
However, one in 10 people said that they struggled to find new things to do on subsequent visits or were sad to find that their favourite holidays haunts had changed when they got there.
How VERY disappointing!
But not as disappointing as the one in 20 people who admitted that they had been on up to 14 holidays that were hardly memorable at all.
Oh dear...
Even more shocking was the one in 20 British parents who revealed that they'd been forced into booking a holiday just because their kids wanted to go - even though they didn't fancy it themselves.
Now they're some pretty giving parents right there.
