This Lady in BLUE beats the holiday BLUES DAY#1

The holidays can be so fun and festive yet kinda stressful and give us the blues.

I'm wearing blue and not feeling blue! you can too!
it feels kinda scrooge-ish to say we sometimes secretly dread the holiday season but for many this is a reality.

Over the next 10 days I'm going to share with you 10 secret ways to BEAT the BLAH BLUES this holiday season.

 it's easy to get caught up in the hussle and bussle but we can overcome those stressful days.


BLUE BUSTER TIP#1:

"I haven't started my shopping and it seems like the rest of the world is almost done!!! I feel overwhelmed! i feel so disorganized!



TIP: Don't stress yourself out! calm down and let's keep this simple. Perhaps buy for only children this year and purchase everyone else a starbucks, movie or gas gift card.  Place the gift card inside a Christmas card and write a sweet note: ‘Enjoy movie night! You deserve it!'" Make it thoughtful by putting a sparkly bow on the envelope or by using a fun gift bag. Hey, why not include a tiny token gift with the gift card a like key chain with the gas card, a box of chocolate-covered espresso beans with the Starbucks card or a tin can of Christmas colored popcorn with the movie card!

  • Your mind says "but that idea sucks? people will think I'm so boring and thoughtless
  • Reality is "this idea is simple, you are thoughtful and this is achievable".
  • Done! Simple Solution. Shopping is done
