It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The holidays are quickly approaching, which means playing in the snow, drinking hot chocolate, ice skating, and Christmas shopping. But it also means heightened emotions getting ready to host your family and friends. I know firsthand just how stressful that can feel. Luckily, there are a ton of things you can do to unwind and avoid becoming a crazy person as we make it to the parties and holiday events. And the first place to look for these things?
