My favorite way to unwind during the stressful Holiday season is to turn my bedroom into a spa sanctuary. I will light candles that are scented with lavender or have a calm theme on my nightstand and in my bathroom. I have a mister that I keep in my nightstand that I fill with water and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Then when I go in my bathroom to wash my face my bathroom is inviting and I’m more likely to follow through with washing my face at night. Then my real “me” time is reading all comfy and cozy in bed with my cat at my feet and my husband snoring next to me.
Sit around the Christmas tree with my twos sons, daughter, grandchildren and husband. Thank God for another year together. Praying God will give me one more year to spend with them. Sitting with them I am surrounded by love. Since I am very ill with no control over it. Skincare products make me happy. Especially anti_aging skin products. So I don’t have to look as bad as I feel. Enjoy the Holidays with the ones you love, you never know if you’ll have an another year to spend with them

I like to have a glass of wine, grab a great book and sit in front of the fireplace.
I keep a list of things to do so I don’t get too wound up. I drive everywhere listening to Christmas music in the car and at home, I watch Joyce Meyer faith message on TV and I exercise each day to experience and stay focused on enjoying lifes blessings. I don’t really unwind from everything until Christmas Morning. After an early morning rise celebration with family, I go back to bed to lay down for an hour and I pray alone to God for giving me and all of us who seek him this wonderful opportunity to enjoy and celebrate this special day. This Day brings such Glory and Joy to the Lord when it has true meaning. Jesus really is our greatest gift. His Love is our Salvation! God is beautiful! Taking care of ourselves is our gift to God! Thank you and Merry Christmas to all who enjoy his beauty all around us!
