There’s nothing better than spending a snowy Sunday at the spa. Treat yourself to a hot rocks massage- it warms the body and stimulates the flow of oxygen and other nutrients that help it detoxify and heal. You’ll leave feeling fresh and relaxed.

Find a new recipe, something you’ve never prepared, and tackle it. The process of buying the ingredients, and making an unfamiliar dish from scratch will leave you feeling accomplished and anxious to share! Bring a platter to your next-door neighbor and you’ll spend less on holiday gifting. Plus, they’ll be impressed by your talent in the kitchen.

Soup kitchens and the Salvation Army are just two organizations that are in need of extra hands during the holiday season. Help out by volunteering for a few hours a week and you’ll feel good you’re helping others and not yourself. By helping with holiday gift-wrapping or bringing presents to families in need on Christmas morning, you will be able to greater appreciate the spirit of the season.
