Lifestyle and Entertaining Expert Ceci Carmichael shares her top holiday hacks from stress-free travel to entertaining to gift-giving and even staying healthy during the holiday rush!

 

SOME OF HER TIPS INCLUDE:

 

• STAY HEALTHY THROUGH THE HOLIDAY RUSH:  The holidays are a hectic time and unfortunately many skip meals and sacrifice their health and energy during the rush of prepping for the season. Always keep a healthy snack on hand or incorporate protein shakes into your daily routine so you are sure you are getting your daily nutrients.
• STOCK UP ON ENTERTAINING ESSENTIALS:  It’s always a great idea to have some essentials stocked and ready to go. Having a few different styles of wine to ready to pair with any meal relieves any stress of a last-minute beverage run and having items such a to-go boxes so family can easily bring home any leftovers.
• PREPARE YOUR PANTRY: We’re always busy preparing for festive holiday meals that we sometimes forget to plan for healthy snack and easy to prepare lunches.  Easy to make wraps and healthy pre-made items are a great go-to for those in between meals.
• STAY SAFE:  Remember to adhere to COVID safety protocols when you’re preparing for the holidays.  Always wear your mask if you need to step out to purchase items for your special holiday.
