Gifts for family...


So, we ALL know that I LOVE to shop & finding GREAT DEALS is my specialty! However, the holidays are kinda stressful for me because I start early; which means my office ends up looking like Santa's Workshop full of gifts very early on in the season- bags & boxes Everywhere & I desperately want to stay organized & On Budget...which is close to IMPOSSIBLE!

So, I have a system as I attempt to stay organized & SANE during the busiest time of year...???

Here are my TOP ideas for helping to make your Holiday Gift Giving a little less stressful and keeping you Organized & ON BUDGET, or at least try.

1. Make a list of the people you are shopping for
2. Set up up a spread sheet with 3 columns: Person/Gift/Cost
3. Decide how much you are planning to spend on each person BEFORE you start shopping; this will help you weed out some gifts & stay in budget- Make sure you have a little bit of wiggle room!
4. As you purchase fill in the "Gift" and "Cost" column.
5. Once that person is "Done" change the color of the text to Blue- this way you can look & see at a glance who you are still needing to buy for.
6. Be sure to include the people who you are giving CASH to who do services for you-
The mailman, garbage men, babysitters, cleaning ladies, UPS/FEDEX carrier, etc...
7. NOW- when you are doing the wrapping- there should be a real elf for this task- you will know exactly who gets what AND if there is money "left over." you can treat yourself to a CUTE outfit for your favorite Holiday Party...Also, it takes the guess workout of what the bills will be come the new year.
Happy Holidays

New Year Refresh

I t’s that time of year when the holidays are over our holiday Decor is put away, hopefully! Your home is clean & quiet & let’s face it- we’re stuck in the house right now due various reasons. So, it’s a great time to reevaluate and refresh. I find that if I don’t go through my things, refresh and get rid of things that I don’t need or use; think those fancy underwear that you bought that were so uncomfortable that you never wore them!  That being said- Let’s get rid of the clutter and keep the things that we feel our best in! If we learned anything in 2020 it was to live our best lives. I like to take the end of January/beginning of February as a time to go through my things. I start with the most important; my “intimates”… Meaning bras underwear pajamas and of course my robe! This week at Smooth Styling with Corinne we are going to explore all of these!
