1) Do not do everything yourself
You can not do everything yourself, so at every opportunity, use the help. Do not even try to make homemade cards for each family member to prepare a sumptuous meal that could compete with lukullovymi feasts, and clean the house before the gloss. Any thing that you can charge the employee or a sympathetic friend (or family member), will allow you to find the time to engage them and make the holidays more fun. The only exception to this rule: all the time saved by buying a ready meal or holiday cards at the store, you should spend on bringing order to their appearance - it's time to do this before the holidays.
2) Try to get pleasure from shopping
At breakfast, meet up with a friend or share shopping trip short breaks to make it a pleasant experience does not turn into hard labor. If holiday shopping - one of the few cases where you can find clothes for myself, not plagued by pangs of conscience, spending money on unplanned outfits. Even if you have little time searching for gifts, there are ways to make a good purchase and in a hurry.
3) Plan ahead
Do not forget to add to the list of mandatory cases visit to a beauty salon, and long before the holidays. Staining and cutting the hair, as well as cleaning and hem clothes need to put in the diary in advance. Start early and five days can perfectly prepared for any party and event.
4) Buy multiple multifunctional fashion items
If you have to visit more than one party, Garner things that can be worn equally well on all at once. Take, for example, a romantic blouse with long wide sleeves and lace trim. You can successfully combine it with jeans (informal party with friends), black velvet trousers (cocktail party) or a long black skirt and high heel shoes (formal special occasion). Properly prepare for any eventuality and fill in wardrobe classic things that are perfect for any holiday event.
5) Save on what can only
There is nothing easier than to splurge on holidays, especially if you need to buy gifts pile of relatives and friends. Fortunately, it was a New Year's Eve period (since mid-November) in large stores run sales of all goods that can be used as a New Year gift. Pay particular attention to the classic clothing such as cashmere sweaters and coats at a huge discount. Perhaps the most fashionable designer handbags or accessories you will not find on sale, but everything else - without difficulty.
6) not to raise demands on themselves
If you are used to the fact that you are surrounded only beautiful things, or you live in a big way (or if you're simply a perfectionist), preparing for the holidays can easily get you out of yourself. Be prepared in advance to ensure that you will have to try to look great even in a state of extreme exhaustion.
7) Be aware of the benefits of forming clothing
Of course, you can choose the path of martyrdom and to madness to sit on a diet during the holidays. A natural question: Is it the holidays? Especially if we remember that there are such wonderful tools as Sassybax (bra that hides the fat on the back) and Spanx, which secretly make you slimmer.
8) If in doubt, wear a little black dress
The classic beauty of the little black dress - it is something that will make you irresistible to any party - but the most informal and most officious.
