Here is a list of things to preserve your inner and outer looks for ThanksMas, and NewVal.
1. If you don't have a tree yet, get a garland, or get a bowl and throw in some lights cover with ornaments!!!!! Or get familiar with the term Charlie Brown Christmas Tree, it fits in a pot, holds one strand of lights and a handful of ornaments.
2. Avoid any unpleasant family members. This would be the family members you don't talk to all year and then you hum and haw, do I write a card, send a gift, call, invite them over?
NO NO NO this will cause stress and ruin your face.
3. Pick one holiday party to attend, there is no way you can pack on 20lb's at one little shin dig.
4. Don't buy all that crap at the store, you don't need to cover every surface of your house with peanut brittle, boxes of wierd chocolate, cookies that are frosted. They should hit the round file. That would be the garbage.
5. So now that you're not stressed, eating disgusting foods and talking to people you don't like, pat yourself on the back and say I am Beautiful.
6. Take a hot bath, add some grapefruit seed oil, any essential oils you have rosemary would be great. You can buy both at most major grocery stores.
7. Pre-Party quick fix, keep some plain yogurt in the fridge, apply to clean skin let dry, rinse you will be amazed. This hydrates, and leaves your skin glowing, and is magic for stress breakouts.
8. Final tip drink lots of water, start today, it helps with stress, over eating, sleep and energy, need I say more.
I could go on and on, but I know how stuck people get, the holidays just shine a huge magnifying glass on everything going on in your life.
Stress, funky relationships, divorce, do I get the kids, did I buy enough presents????????
Who Freaking cares, it's not THEIR HOLIDAYS they are YOUR HOLIDAYS. So grow a back bone and decide what you love about them, discard the rest.
BE BEAUTIFUL by having boundries, reaching out to those you love.
