5 Ways To Relax Before The Holidays

Collage_zk2bmtxeciuw0lbiwyc0ha20140930-2-10hqns8jpg?1412104158

Hello friends, 

For some the holidays are the most wonderful time of the year, yet for others it can be the most stressful time of the year.   The non-stop swirl of activities associated with getting together with family and friends; finding just the right gift for the In-laws or kids; and the dread of blowing the budget can unnerve the best of us.

So before the shopping, cooking, parties and festivities begin, take a little time to relax and rejuvenate, it’s not only good for the body, it’s also good for the soul.

You can create a mini spa at home with just a few items, here are a few of my favorite things that help me to relax and unwind, what are some of yours?

Farmer’s Market Friday

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

Today is “Black Friday”, and in the United States it’s the day after Thanksgiving, noted as the first day of Christmas shopping. Crowds of consumers are drawn to special offers by retailers and some people even lose their minds!

Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your point of view this year some retailers began their Black Friday sales Thursday night!

Die hard Black Friday shoppers are those who after Thanksgiving dinner will leave the warmth of their homes and drive to stores to camp out overnight for the latest, lowest priced gadget. 

Are you a Black Friday Shopper?  If so, more power to ya just don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes, carry snacks and a bottle of water in a small purse and check out this 2013 Black Friday Shopping Guide.  

Have Fun and Be Safe!

I don’t like shopping in the holiday madness and prefer to stay local which is why I like places like the Dutch Country Farmers Market in Middletown. My sons are older so there’s no need to wait until Christmas to buy them gifts, those days of hunting for Tickle Me Elmo, Furby or Star Wars memorabilia is long behind me.  I can now enjoy leisurely shopping and watch others stress – lol!

Here’s a look inside our local Farmers’s Market
