NYE Fashion & Xmas Sanity Tips

One week to go, and I hope you are holding on in there! The lead up is often the most stressful part, with some fun thrown in for good measure. I’m here with tips to reduce the burnout and NYE fashion picks to glam it up as we head into 2025!

Keep Calm, It’s Christmas

Amongst the chaos and excitement, it can be totally overwhelming socialising for days and trying to keep everyone happy. Give these a try when needed:

  • Take 10 minutes – when it all gets too much, grab your book or a podcast and find a quiet space (or loo) to rest your brain
  • Delegate – we are often too polite, don’t be afraid to hand out jobs and share the load
  • Diffusion – if things start to get a little tense, have a few distractions at the ready, check out my family games guide for some ideas
  • Prep – It’s hard when you’re busy, but prepping some of the trimmings so they are ready to whack in the oven on the day saves so much time
  • Don’t compare – it doesn’t matter what others are doing and that it all looks perfect, most likely it isn’t so you do and make those memories
  • The secret stash – make sure you have a secret alcohol/chocolate stash that you can tuck into when all else fails!
