10 Reasons to Celebrate New Year at Home

10 Reasons to Celebrate New Year at Home

Reasons to Celebrate New Year at Home
When you think of New Year celebrations, chances are parties, bars and nightclubs spring to your mind since that’s how people often observe the holiday. Others, however, opt to stay home and have their own New Year celebration. If you’re the type who wants to avoid the crowds and celebrate New Year your way, stay home and spare yourself the hassle that accompanies a New Year in public.

1. Save money

Save money
If you’ve ever spent New Year’s Eve on the town, you’ve probably spent considerable bucks for the pleasure. A New Year out is expensive and for a lot of people, it’s hard to come up with the cash after they’ve broken the bank paying for holiday gifts and meals. Stay home and celebrate New Year on a budget.

2. Avoid bad weather

Avoid Bad Weather
While the weather outside may be frightful, the temperature inside is simply delightful. If bundling up to stay warm isn’t your first choice, you can avoid doing so by celebrating New Year at home. You can tear your attention away from the weather forecast and put it on a more pleasurable subject for the evening

3. Stay off the roads

Stay off the roads
As January takes hold, the roads become more and more treacherous. Ice, snow and rain make streets slick and contribute to traffic accidents that cost lives and money. If you’d rather not risk your car and your safety, stay home for the New Year and leave the roads open for those who choose to navigate them.

4. Avoid drunks

Avoid drunks
When the New Year rolls around, alcohol often flows freely. Even folks who rarely drink may choose to imbibe and those who do often drink regularly may overindulge. Unless you happen to enjoy the company of drunks, do yourself a favor and stay at home to avoid the rowdy drinking culture.

5. Keep it intimate

Keep It Intimate
You’ll be hard pressed to find anywhere away from home that isn’t crowded on New Year’s Eve. If you’d much rather spend quiet time with your significant other or close friends and family, stay at home home. Prepare a delicious dinner, enjoy quiet conversation and luxuriate in the company of your loved ones.

6. Enjoy the quiet

Enjoy the Quiet
Let’s face it, the New Year is one of loudest holidays on record. Between the din of party people and the countdown to midnight, your hearing can take a real beating. Not to mention, it’s incredibly frustrating when you have to yell to make yourself heard amidst the crowd.

7. Do it your way

Do it your way
When you go out during the New Year, you have to follow the plans your host or hostess have made. When you stay at home home, however, you can do it up your way. Serve your favorite foods, make drinks to your taste and plan the entertainment that you and yours enjoy the most.

8. Choose your crowd

Choose your crowd
When you have to mix with strangers on New Year’s Eve, you never know who you might come into contact with. They might be your new best friends or they may be someone with whom you have nothing in common. When you stay at home home, you control the guest list and ensure that the people you spend the evening with are people you like.

9. Eat delicious food

Eat Delicious Food
Even if you go to a fine dining restaurant to celebrate the New Year, there’s always a chance the experience may not be up to your standards. Cold entrees, poor service or a long wait at a restaurant may ruin your evening. At home, you are in charge of food and can prepare it exactly to your taste.

10. Eschew alcohol

Eschew alcohol
Although drinking alcohol is a part of most New Year celebrations, it doesn’t have to be a part of yours if you don’t want it to be. Many people choose to skip the drinks because of dietary restrictions, interactions with medications or due to their participation in recovery programs. At your house, you decide whether there’s drinking or not.

If you’re apprehensive about spending a night on the town on New Year’s Eve, make the bold choice to simply stay at home. Make plans that are meaningful to you and welcome the new year in the way you prefer. Who knows, maybe this New Year’s celebration will be the best and you will celebrate next year at home, too. Do you think it’s great to celebrate New Year at home?

8 Ways to Get Your Skin Ready for Winter

8 Ways to Get Your Skin Ready for Winter

8 Ways to Get Your Skin Ready for Winter
Cold temperatures, low humidity and extreme weather conditions can damage your skin. During the cold winter months you may notice that your skin is dull, itchy and dehydrated. Binge eating and binge drinking during a holiday season can only worsen the situation. Luckily, you can make your beauty routine less problematic in winter by following some easy and handy tips and tricks.

1. Stock up on creams

In winter your skin requires more care than in summer. During a cold season you should stock up on creams and avoid using lotions. Creams usually have heavier formulas and they may feel a bit more uncomfortable on your skin. But they are the best protectors against severe weather conditions. Winter creams contain more fatty ingredients, which prevent dehydration and roughness. Apply creams before bed and not less than 30 minutes before going outdoors. You should also skip light makeup formulas and consider heavier foundations, cream shadows and lipsticks.

2. Use a sunscreen daily

Many women mistakenly believe that their skin doesn’t need sunscreens in winter. In fact, sun is rather harmful to your skin all year round, and in winter the harmful effect is just reinforced by cold temperatures and wind. Unless you apply a sunscreen, you can get a burn even in winter. If your everyday cream doesn’t contain SPF, consider buying sunscreens with SPF 15 and higher. Sunscreens are essential if you spend a lot of time outdoors working or exercising. Make sure you apply your sunscreen at least half an hour before you go outdoors.

3. Don’t forget about your gloves

Gloves are often a very neglected and underrated item, thus most people decide to put on gloves only when the temperatures turn extremely cold. However, you should wear gloves during fall and winter seasons to protect your skin against redness, frostbite and roughness. The skin on your hands is much more sensitive and vulnerable during the cold winter months, so they need more moisturizing and nourishing than ever. For a better effect you can apply your hand cream before wearing gloves.

4. Take short showers

A long hot shower is really what I love and need in winter, but the truth is that hot showers are very harmful to the skin as well as soaking in a hot tub. Hot water promotes excess dryness and dehydration; it removes the upper protective layer of your skin and make it more vulnerable to irritants. Even if you have oily skin you’d better avoid using soaps. Instead, opt for nourishing shower gels and apply body creams and moisturizers right after you take a shower. Consider reducing your shower time and opt for lukewarm water while taking a bath.

5. Moisturize

Don’t wait until your hands and face become dry and scaly! You should start using moisturizers when the thermometer shows sub-zero temperatures. Pay special attention to your hands. Applying a hand moisturizer twice a day may be insufficient. Ideally, you should use hand creams 5 or 6 times a day, depending on your skin type. While you have a tube of a moisturizer in your bath, it’s also necessary that you carry a hand cream in your handbag and use it each time you wash your hands.

6. Reconsider your diet

You know that your skin reflects your health, thus it’s directly connected with your diet and nutrition. Have you ever noticed that your skin becomes sallow and flaky in winter? Perhaps, you need to reconsider your everyday diet and alter your eating habits. During a cold season your body requires more fats, that’s why you should skip a low-calorie diet and increase your intake of veggies, fish, dairy products and healthy fats. Sticking to a healthy diet will make your skin radiant and healthy and help you lose some pounds. Increase the consumption of citrus fruits, greens and seafood as well. Not only will it provide a protection against dryness and peeling, it will also slow down aging processes and reduce small wrinkles.

7. Stay hydrated

I rarely meet people who drink the recommended amount of water daily; even more rarely people drink enough in winter. You may not feel thirsty during a cold season, but in fact your hydration needs don’t depend on the season. Drinking a lot of water is highly beneficial to your health and beauty. It helps to get rid of toxins, increases elasticity and promotes rejuvenation. While you should drink at least 8 glasses of water per day, try to cut down on caffeine, carbonated water and black tea.

8. Don’t overlook scrubs

All your skin care products will appear useless if you don’t exfoliate your skin regularly especially during the fall months, since it helps to get your skin ready for winter. Dermatologists and beauty professionals say that you should exfoliate your skin 3 times a week during winter months. Not only will it help to remove dead cells, dirt and residues of cosmetics, it will also improve the complexion and texture of your skin. Using exfoliants three times a week is a sure way to a healthy and radiant skin. Winter outfit doesn’t display your body and heels, but they also need extra exfoliation in winter. Consider doing regular pedicure to avert cracked, unhealthy dry heels.
Getting ready your skin for winter can be a tough task. Moreover, maintaining a beauty routine in winter can be challenging, but it’s not so hard if you know some secrets. Indeed, winter can cause many problems to your skin. However, you can easily reduce the harmful effect and get your skin ready for winter by following the above-mentioned tips. Incorporate them into your beauty routine today and enjoy your healthy radiant skin even during winter months.

7 Creative Ways to Give Thanks This Thanksgiving



















7 Creative Ways to Give Thanks This Thanksgiving

Creative Ways to Give Thanks This Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is around the corner and most people already anticipate gathering with their kinsfolk, hustle and bustle of holiday trips and plenty of delicious food. Thanksgiving is also a time to be grateful for everything you have in life. It’s time for people to remember that they shouldn’t take things for granted. Gratitude helps us to see how blessed and happy we are. You can think up numerous ways to express your gratitude without saying ‘Thank you’ at all. Apart from traditional expression of gratitude during a family dinner, there are much more creative ways to give thanks this Thanksgiving.

1. Do a good deed and volunteer

While most of us consider family the most important part of Thanksgiving, let’s not forget about those who are around us and who need some attention as well. Doing a good deed and giving your time and attention for free is the best way to express gratitude on Thanksgiving. Consider visiting a hospital or an animal shelter with your kids. When going to the hospital prepare some gifts, treats or toys (especially if you’re visiting a children’s hospital.) These small yet heartwarming presents will surely encourage those who cannot be with their families on this day. If possible, donate to the local church or charitable organization. Preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for a poor family is also a great way to express your gratitude on this day.

2. Treat people to dinner

You’re lucky if you expect a big family to come to your Thanksgiving dinner, with whom you can share happiness and togetherness. Many people, however, will be alone on this day. If you know that your aged neighbor or a friend has nobody to celebrate Thanksgiving this year, welcome them to join your family dinner. Nothing can make people happier than a sense of fellowship, company and togetherness. Your guests will definitely appreciate your invitation.

3. Create a thankful atmosphere

Create a thankful atmosphere by decorating your home with lovely crafts. A broad platter filled with fruits, nuts, greenery and cones will make a great centerpiece and embellishment of your festive table. Incorporate organic elements such as twigs, stones, leaves and acorns into your decorations and express gratitude for the gifts of nature. Use scrapbooking paper to make Thanksgiving cards and ask your guests to put down the things they are grateful for. Garlands, candles and notes with wishes and words of appreciation written on them are also a great way to encourage your family to be thankful.

4. Share your Thanksgiving memories

Thanksgiving dinner prayer and personal words of gratitude from each family member are usually an integral part of Thanksgiving celebration. However, you can change the tradition to give thanks. Ask your guests to share their warmest Thanksgiving memories and family stories.
You can also teach your children thankfulness and the roots of this holiday by reading Thanksgiving stories. Thanksgiving stories will remind everyone that this holiday is not only about tasting food and enjoying sports, but it’s also about human helpfulness and sympathy. Even though books about Thanksgiving are designed for kids, they would be rather instructive and interesting for family members of all ages.

5. Create a Thanksgiving tree

Being a lovely decorative item, a Thanksgiving tree is another great way to give thanks to your family and friends. Creating a tree of thanks can be a captivating and fun activity for the whole family. Cut out a big tree and a plenty of cardboard leaves of red, orange and yellow colors. Place it in the center of a room and encourage your guests to put down their thanks and wishes on the leaves and tie them up throughout the day. In the evening, when the tree will be covered with heartwarming notes, you can read them all.

6. Write a handwritten letter to your friend

Could you remember the last time you wrote a letter to your friend? I mean a real letter that you write using a paper and ink. Handwritten letters are out-of-date thing now, but I still believe that it’s the most precious way to show your appreciation and love. It takes you some time to find a beautiful piece of paper, pick up the necessary words and put them down accurately. Your handwriting reveals your mood and attitude to the receiver. Definitely, a person makes great efforts to write a letter; therefore handwritten letters are much more valuable and significant than print words. Mails and calls are also a good way to give thanks to your friends and kinsfolk on Thanksgiving, but writing a handwritten latter would be utterly unexpected and unique way to express your gratitude to your nearest and dearest.

7. Appreciate small things

A strong hug, a gentle kiss or a kind word can express your gratefulness better than expensive gifts. On Thanksgiving Day you shouldn’t miss an opportunity to cuddle up to your in-laws and friends or give complements to your guests. Everybody, from a baby to an old person, loves and needs to be hugged. Hugging is what you really can do to express your affection, honor and gratitude. Hugs and kisses are the best way to make your nearest and dearest happy and delight this Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is a great time to share kindness, thankfulness and appreciation. Get all your family members involved in doing something good this day, and teach your little ones to be well-wishing and gracious. Remember, Thanksgiving Day is a good time to say ‘thank you’ to everyone you know.
