How To Get In the Holiday Spirit

Happy Thursday everyone! Can you believe that it’s only 17 days until Christmas? If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you know that I am obsessed with the holidays (and I have been for a while). I also get very excited at the possibility of snow around here. We don’t get a whole lot in Arkansas, so I take what I can get ;) Today I wanted to share some ways that I get in the holiday spirit. I would love to hear your ideas, too!

Cuddle up by the fire

Grab a pair of cozy slippers

I’m obsessed with these from Kohl’s! (I’m wearing them in the picture above & only $16)

Paint your nails a fun holiday color

I recommend a red or a gold glitter! (Be sure to use my favorite combo of topcoat & drying drops!)

Watch your favorite holiday movie

My two favorites are the Holiday & Home Alone!

Drink a festive hot cocoa or coffee

This peppermint hot tea is my favorite! (it’s even caffeine free)

Eat everything peppermint

We are talking candy canes, peppermint bark, and mint chocolate!
