Four Tips for the Busy Girl: Holiday Survival Guide

Being a busy girl over the holidays can get a little crazy. Whether you’re a working mom, a college student, or a woman who’s just #gettingitdone, setting aside time to unwind can be just as challenging as finding the perfect holiday gift. Struggling to stay sane between family obligations, work demands, and holiday parties? Here are four ways to make it through the holidays like a champ … and with plenty of style.

Get Moving

Exercise might not pair perfectly with a plate of holiday cookies, but according to the Mayo Clinic some simple workouts over the holidays can boost endorphins, increase focus, and improve your mood --  i.e. it’s an awesome way to maintain your zen with a house full of relatives. Here are a few easy tips for staying active. Don’t forget your Classic Busy Girl Bangle to keep your pony on-hand for a spontaneous sweat session!

Give Thanks

Before you start listing off what you’re thankful for, find a quiet place to relax and truly appreciate the good stuff. Sometimes it’s as simple as sneaking into the bathroom for a few minutes or walking around the block. Once you have some space, close your eyes, take five deep breaths (in through your nose and out through your mouth), and visualize something that brings you joy. A family member, a recent vacation, your favorite hiking spot -- anything goes. Check out sites like Mindful and Headspace for some easy meditations you can practice anywhere. The Boho Bangle will pair perfectly with your new sense of chill.

Let It Go

That broken wine glass and stain on the couch? Chances are no one cares. It’s tough to give up the dream of being the perfect hostess over the holidays, but being a relaxed version of yourself is the best gift you can give guests. Go with the flow and, most importantly, laugh! When you think about it, the best holiday stories stem from mishaps. Make sure you have an Ebony & Ivory Bangle on-hand for those “happy” accidents.

Play a Game

Take a cue from the kiddos and bust out a deck of cards or board game. Games require focus and can decrease stress. Plus, their entire purpose is to help you have fun! Every family has a favorite, but games like 20 Questions, Reverse Charades, and Pictionary are some great go-tos. Shutterfly created this great list of options for kids and adults-only gatherings.

Trendy Travel Tips

It’s time to pack up your suitcase and hit the road! Whether you’re spending the summer road tripping across America or taking weekend vacations to the lake, here are some tips for looking fashionable while on your next adventure.

Stay comfortable: Wear comfy ballet flats or sandals to ensure you’re looking and feeling your best. Loose clothing is essential, such as a dress or fun shirt and shorts. Incorporate layers into your outfit so you can easily adjust whether hot or cold.

Pack your staples: Packing clothing that is versatile and can be worn with various outfits is a way to reduce luggage space. Some popular staples are V-necks, jeans, jean shorts, solid shirts and a skirt. Don’t be afraid to mix and match!

Be smart with accessories: Accessories are easily lost when traveling because they’re so small. An easy hack is to place the accessories in individual Zip-Loc bags so they don’t tangle together. Make sure to bring accessories that match multiple outfits. Jewelry with both gold and silver tones are ideal, so they can match a warm or cool outfit. Stack your Busy Girl Bangles to incorporate both!

Spring Style

April showers bring May flowers … and cute outfits. Here’s your guide to dressing for the spring weather!

Colors – Spring colors are self-explanatory. Pastels such as pinks, blues, greens and yellows are complemented by the beautiful weather. It won’t be Labor Day anytime soon – throw on some white, too!

Garments – The weather is starting to heat up, but sometimes there’s a 20 degree difference between when you leave in the morning and get back in the afternoon. Cue our favorite outfit – a spring dress (or romper) and a light cardigan. A tip for the trade is to leave a neutral-colored sweater in your car for quick convenience. Make sure to break out the sandals and wedges again.

Accessories – The best colored accessories to complement spring colors are white and brown. When wearing a colorful outfit, whether a mix or a solid color, neutral colored jewelry is the way to go. It’s fun to add a pop of color when wearing white or denim color. Statement earrings and necklaces are essential to add the extra “oomph.”
