The holiday season is magical, but let’s face it—between juggling work, family, social events, and shopping lists, it can also be a whirlwind of stress.
Whether you’re a new mom trying to navigate the holidays with little ones or a busy professional striving to create the perfect holiday experience, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.
Take a deep breath, pour yourself a cup of tea (or maybe a glass of wine), and let’s dive into some practical tips to help you keep your cool and actually enjoy this season.
1. Prioritize Your To-Do List
Not everything needs to be done, and certainly not all by you. Decide what’s truly important to your family and your peace of mind. Can someone else pick up the dessert for the holiday party? Can you let go of that Pinterest-perfect mantle decor? Simplify where you can.
2. Delegate, Delegate, Delegate
You don’t have to do it all alone. Assign age-appropriate tasks to kids, ask your partner to pitch in, and don’t hesitate to hire help when needed. Sometimes, delegating a few tasks can give you the breathing room you need to focus on what matters most.
3. Plan Your Outfits Ahead of Time
From office parties to family gatherings, holiday events often come with a dress code. Plan your outfits—including accessories and shoes—early in the season. That way, you won’t find yourself scrambling to find something to wear at the last minute. Bonus tip: A fresh blowout from Concihairge will make any outfit feel extra fabulous.
4. Pre-Book Your Holiday Hair Appointment
Your calendar fills up fast this time of year, and the last thing you want to worry about is finding time to get your hair done. By pre-booking your holiday hair appointment with Concihairge, you can check one more thing off your list. The best part? We come to you, so you can skip the salon chaos and have a little “me time” right at home.
Book an Appointment5. Make Time for Yourself
The holidays are about giving, but don’t forget to give to yourself. Whether it’s a 15-minute meditation, a warm bath, or a quick coffee date with a friend, small moments of self-care can help you recharge. Our Regional Stylist Cassie Anderson suggests: “Self-care is huge! No matter who you are. So I highly suggest you create or schedule a minimum of 1 hour for self-care or rest per week. We all have 1 hour. Whether we’re driving in silence to get a peace of mind or soaking in a bath uninterrupted, reading a book or journaling… 1 hour of uninterrupted YOU time. Set and write down your intentions for the day or week. Thinking it in your mind is not enough, writing it down to physically see the ”check list” puts thought into action and helps to hold you accountable. Drink water—All day”. It’s clear why she’s always so bubbly and vibrant!
6. Stick to a Consistent Schedule
Our wonderful stylist Jenna Messerschmidt recommends adhering to a regular schedule as much as possible, this includes squeezing in workouts to stay grounded. She says: “I also make sure to eat something light before heading out so I’m not starving when I arrive—it keeps me feeling balanced and ready for the day”. No wonder she’s so energetic and fresh for every client’s hair appointment!
7. Set Boundaries
It’s okay to say no. You don’t have to attend every event or participate in every gift exchange. Protect your energy by setting boundaries and focusing on the gatherings and traditions that truly bring you joy.
8. Embrace Imperfection
Remember, the holidays don’t have to be perfect to be wonderful. The people who love you won’t notice if the cookies are store-bought or if the tree leans a little to one side. Let go of perfectionism and enjoy the beautiful mess of the season.
At Concihairge, we understand how much you have on your plate, and we’re here to make your life just a little easier. Pre-book your holiday hair appointment now, and let us take one thing off your to-do list. With shiny, styled hair, you’ll be ready to face the season feeling like your best self.
Here’s to a stress-free, joyful holiday season!
