4 Ways To De-Stress Before The Busy Festive Period Starts.

The festive period is coming very soon, bringing much stress. Of course, it’s a joyful time, but let’s be real, it can be a little stressful. Shopping, planning, and trying to be everywhere all at once can easily cause you to feel a bit overwhelmed. In this blog post, I’ve listed amazing ways to help you feel less stressed before the holiday kicks in and yep, I’ve included some self-care!

Plan a pamper day or night!

Why not plan yourself either a pamper day or night, whichever one you prefer? This could include a DIY pedi/mani session, a relaxing massage or a stroll in a peaceful setting. The whole idea is to do things that make you feel pampered, relaxed and happy.

Enjoy the festive season and get creative with crafting.

Isn’t it incredible how smooth it is when you get lost in a creative project, whether it’s making festive cards, baking some festive treats, decorating a wreath, or crafting your way to de-stress? It’s not about how perfect everything is instead, it’s about enjoying the process and creating something which brings you joy.

Always be mindful and grateful.

Even though the festive season can be a wonderful time for enjoyment and family time, it can also be a great time to practice mindfulness and gratitude. This could include writing down 3 things you are grateful for every morning or evening or medicating for 5-10 minutes daily. Focusing on the positives can help reduce stress and improve your overall festive season experience.

Dive into the festive nail art.

Is there anything that can say ‘festive spirit’ more than Christmas-inspired nail art? It’s nice to add a bit of sparkle to your fingertips, but it isn’t all about looking great instead, it’s about doing little things for yourself which make you feel calm and a little put together.

Are you new to nail art? If so, you can start with something really simple like candy stripes or glittery inspo nails. You don’t need to be a pro at nail art to create something beautiful but practising and using start kits can set you up for success!
