Winter Weight

October 15th, 2007

Everyone knows how stressful the holidays can be. And if you’re like me, when you’re stressed or emotional you eat. So needless to say, you might gain some extra weight this holiday season. Luckily, you can manage that stress and keep your weight down! It’s all about how you organize your life. Instead of becoming overwhelmed by the huge amount of stuff you have to do, just break it down. Think: Monday I’ll clean first, shop after and then cook dinner. I’ll save the rest for Tuesday. This way everything seems more pleasant and you’ll have the time and energy to spend with your family, which is what the holiday season is about anyway!

However, if you do find yourself stressing over errands and chores try taking some time for yourself with an at home mini spa. Just light some scented candles (tip: lavender is a relaxing scent, while jasmine is sensual. Orange or citris will give you energy and minty scents help relieve stress) hop in a hot bath and take your time. If you feel fatigued use a bath scrub with some coffee in it to energize you- it smells amazing and it’s great for the skin too! After your bath, give yourself a pedicure and treat yourself to a facial. I find it so relaxing to moisturize my face with a mask after a long day. Give these stress-reliving tricks a try and maybe this holiday season will actually be a relaxing one!
