Tips to a Stress Free Holiday - FREE DOWNLOAD - Gift Spending Tracker

Hi Y’all!
    Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week, already? Between preparing for the holidays and budgeting to afford everything you want, it can be a stressful time. But before you let yourself get too stressed, read my personal tips to stay stress free during the holiday’s!

1. Prioritize memory making, the holiday’s are the perfect time to catch up with loved ones and make lots of great memories. From the time spent making your grandmother’s recipe to the late nights chatting and the holiday shopping, the memories you make together are what you will remember.
   
2. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you are cooking, have someone else set the table. If you are struggling to shop for someone, ask for ideas. Your family and friends will help you, they want you happy.
   
3. Take time for you to do stuff you enjoy. Make time to workout and get those endorphins going. Relax and take time to enjoy those Hallmark movies. Take a warm shower or bath with a festive candle lit.
   
4. Make lists! Forgetting is the worst, cut down on repeat store runs, by making a list ahead of time. I also track my spending used the attached Gift Spending Tracker. I write down what I’ve bought, what I still want to buy and the amount of the budget I’ve spent for that person. Which leads me to my next point.
   
5. Budget and save! Set a budget and stick to it. If you find sales then count it as a win. DealMark always has lots of great prices that are between 25-80% off retail normally, which has helped me to SAVE A TON OF MONEY when shopping for my family. 
   
   
6. Enjoy yourself! Enjoy the peppermint and pumpkin season, it only comes once a year. Share time with your loved ones. 
   
   

Happy Holiday Season!
