7 Days Left: Ease The Holiday Stress

You're on the home stretch of executing a meticulous holiday season — but this next week will be jam-packed. So today is the day for self-care! (December 18)

If you obsess over trying to keep up with the Joneses this season, you will lose your head! And that is antithetical to what the holidays are really about. So remember: do only what is realistic and enjoyable for you and your family. The Holiday Countdown is a tool to guide you, not to hold you accountable. Today’s agenda item is all about checking in with yourself.

One of the best ways to do that is to set aside time for self-care. Follow Andrea’s jade rolling tutorial below.
