With the holiday season, everybody seems to be talking about spreading the holiday cheer and merriness around, but no one seems to be talking about the frenzy that comes along with it. And let's be honest, it can get a little crazy trying to juggle everything all together while also spreading the happiness around. Well, worry not! We've got just the solution for you to be able to give yourself a much-needed break. Take a look.
02/9Opt for some relaxing aromatherapy
You might not have paid much attention to this but aromatherapy can actually work wonders for you. It can instantly uplift your mood and can help you feel relaxed and calm. Put 3 drops of ginger, 2 drops of clove, 2 drops of cinnamon, and 1 drop of nutmeg in your diffuser and you'll end up with some gingerbread smelling goodness throughout your room.
03/9Take a nap
When you're super stressed about something or you feel like there's a lot on your mind, the best thing to do is to take a nap. It can help make you feel super refreshed and can also make you feel better physically and mentally.
04/9Buy yourself a present
Forget what Uncle Robert wants this holiday season for a moment and buy that pair of gorgeous earrings or those to-die-for boots you're longing for. You don't have to spend a fortune on yourself; a little token will make up for all that mall-hopping.
05/9The expert touch
If your over-worked body can't muster the strength to turn the taps on, surrender yourself to a spa treatment. Stress levels are high [at this time of the year] and people are in their worst moods when they should be in their best. So, a toxin-releasing massage just makes sense!
06/9Read a cheesy Christmas romance novel
Haven’t we all heard of the curing-up-reading-a-book cliché? Clichés are clichés for a reason.So, go on, find that cheesy romance novel! (brownie points if it’s a Christmas romance.) Find your reading nook in the house, we know you have one! Now all you got to do is, find yourself some time. To set the mood, head up some hot chocolate and throw in some marshmallows and enjoy some time off as you whisk yourself away to live your most silly romantic dream.
07/9Draw yourself a warm fuzzy bath
All that holiday planning must be daunting. We wouldn’t be surprised if you’re worn out already. A good way to relax yourself would be by dipping yourself in a warm fuzzy bubble bath. Make your bath more attuned to the Christmas theme by choosing warm vanilla and cookie flavoured bubble baths. Take it to the next level by lighting up a scented candle. Listen to calm music or just hop in with book you were reading.
08/9Bake some treats
There’s just something about baking that’s extremely therapeutic. And if it ends with a cookie, cake or brownie, how could it ever be a bad idea? In fact, research says baking is good for your mental health. If making a whole batch of brownies sounds daunting to you, make a simple and sweet microwavable mug cake that’s perfect for just one.
09/9Break open a bottle of wine
You know you want to! Your bottle of wine is just sitting right there, waiting to be opened. What better occasion than Christmas to do so. Take matters to another level by pairing your Pinot Noir with a batch of Godiva chocolates. If you’re not the kind who drinks alone, invite a girl pal or two and have a gab fest! We’re already indulgent just thinking about it. Aren’t you? Pop open that wine already.
