Before the family arrives, the kitchen’s a mess, and the non-stop festivities begin, take this weekend to soak in some peace and quiet. Here’s how we’re kicking off the weekend before the holidays.
1. Start with a Cozy Morning ☕
- No alarms, no rush—just ease into the day.
- Treat yourself to a nice breakfast: think pancakes with a dash of cinnamon or a warm croissant with your favorite jam.
- Sip on something indulgent, like a rich hot cocoa with whipped cream or our favorite, a peppermint latte.
2. Tidy Up Your Space 🧹
- Declutter and organize your bedroom or living area—clear space, clear mind!
- Tidy up, fluff the pillows and freshen up your bedding or add some cozy throw blankets for a seasonal touch.
- Light a candle to set a calming mood.
3. Indulge in Self-Care 🛁
- Take a luxurious bath with bath salts or a festive bath bomb.
- Do a DIY spa treatment: face masks, under-eye patches, or a relaxing foot soak.
- Put on your softest loungewear and spend some time journaling or reading.
4. Plan a Holiday-Inspired Movie Marathon 🎥
- Curl up with your weighted blanket and queue up your favorite netflix show. We’re revisiting Terrace House - a calm and cozy reality show.
- Pair your show with some of your favorite snacks: we’re thinking popcorn drizzled with chocolate or homemade cookies.
5. End with a Festive Evening Wind-Down 🌙
- Brew a cup of herbal tea or cider, and relax with a good book or your favorite podcast.
- Catch up with friends or stay at home and enjoy a hobby.
- Meditate or listen to calming holiday music before heading to bed.
Think of this as a little breather to recharge, relax, and set the tone for a joyful weekday!
