In True Spirit….5 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS!

If any of you are like me, you had all intentions of finishing your holiday shopping in July…but it just didn’t happen. Instead you are running around spending 3.5 hours with everyone else in the world at Target with a cartload of useless crap you are sure your friends & family will hate & you will be paying off on your credit card for eons….

Can you tell I am freakin’ out. Well, here are some things that got me through today & will hopefully work until this is over!

1. When feeling stressed at the store, call a reliable source. Lucky for me, I had one of my bestest buds, Cecily on hand for advice & ideas. I would send her a pic from my camera phone & await her response. Lucky for my mom, she wasn’t available today Sorry Cec.

2. Keep a smile on your face! I can’t tell you how that helps. All of a sudden other suckers in your same position smile back at you. They will no longer run you over with their shopping cart, but even lend you the extra change you may need at the checkout.

3. Go home & do some yoga.

4. After yoga…drink some wine. In this instance, preferably organic: meaning the grapes have been organically grown & there are no sulfites. Delicious.
