The Ultimate Gift Guide for the Girl Boss

Noise-Cancelling Headphones – Focusing can be hard with a house full of people. Tune everything out with these noise-cancelling headphones so you can get in the zone and get more done.

Circadian Optics Light – This is great for someone with seasonal depression. If you’re working in a low-light area and want the room to feel like a bright sunny day this lamp will light up your world. Sunlight regulates the cycles of our bodies. People are spending more time indoors due to the pandemic and it’s important to make sure our bodies get what they need.

Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug – As a working from home mom I am always leaving my cup of coffee and letting it get cold. You can pair your smart phone with this mug and set the temperature on your mug. This mug has a slightly higher price tag but it might be the coolest office accessory I have ever seen.

Read about the Ultimate GirlBoss with the Book Below

#GIRLBOSS book – I love this book and it personally gave me a lot of inspiration in my own business. There is no better entrepreneur gift than a good book. All good entrepreneurs know just how important self-development is.

Planner – While there are many apps to use to plan your life, I am an old-fashioned paper and pen girl. This Happy Planner is amazing and has so many cute cover options. You can fully customize the planner and make it unique from the inside out. The disc-bound spine allows you to add, remove, or rearrange the pages.

Notebooks/Journals – I go through so many notebooks and journals. I am a visual learner so I write everything down and map everything out. You can never have too many beautiful journals.

Portable Charger – This is a lifesaver for an entrepreneur who is on the go running errands. A good portable charger can be used for a phone, laptop, or headphones. It is essential to help an entrepreneur run their business from anywhere.

Laptop Case – Having a beautiful laptop case is essential to any business. It is great when you are running on the go and need a place to hold all of the things.

Selfie Ring Light – This light has 33 different lighting modes. It is a great accessory to have when you want to film those beautiful instagram videos or even a zoom call.

Magazine File Holder – Who doesn’t need more organization in their office? I know that I can always use some more space. These cute gold ones will look really good. There are many other options available as well.

File Folders – You need file folders now to put in your file holders. These ones are so dang adorable.

Pens – You can never have too many pens. These felt ones are my favorite. They write amazing and will look adorable with that new planner you get.

I hope this list will assist you in shopping for that special GirlBoss in your life. Or print it out and give it to your loved one as a hint. Whatever you choose please know that Christmas is about more than gifts. It is about spending time with your loved ones.

Happy Holidays!

7 Ways to Survive the Holiday Season!

BLOGMAS 2020 Day 1

This Holiday Season has definitely been different from previous ones. There are no big parties or Christmas festivals. Many businesses are having to close their doors or limit hours because the demand is just not as high. There also happens to be a pandemic going on. With your kids at home and trying to balance every thing at once…life is crazy. This can all lead to added stress which is something you don’t want this time of year. This list will give you ways to survive the Holiday Season.

Tip 1: Maintain Contact with Friends and Family during Quarantine

We may not be able to have in-person parties or travel to family this holiday season, but this gives us more reason to connect virtually. Have a holiday dinner together by cooking the same means and enjoying them together on zoom. Share your favorite recipes with loved ones and try new traditions from other families and friends. Staying in contact with the most important people in your life can really help with your mental health this time of year.

Have a stress free holiday season!

Tip 2: Plan Ahead

Your first step for a stress-free holiday season is to plan ahead. Make the Christmas/Holiday food menu now. Get your holiday shopping out of the way or make a list of what you need to get. When I list everything, I find it is easier to accomplish those tasks. I love to use good ole pen and paper. I also love the feeling of checking off those items. This is such a good way to survive the Holiday Season.

Tip 3: Make a budget

Make a budget….and stick to it. I know it is hard but sticking to a budget will create some relief in your mind. Overspending can create extra stress. Help yourself and your financial situation by not spending more then you should.

Tip 4: Prioritize me time

This doesn’t have to be for an hour and it doesn’t have to be a fancy massage. Just taking 15 minutes to read a book..or anything that constitutes as something special for yourself will work. Try writing down at least 5 things that you’re grateful for during the 2020 holiday season. Spread extra positivity and gratitude by letting people know that you are grateful for them.

Tip 5: Find time to exercise

Staying healthy should be a priority everyday. This winter season, exercise is even more important. With the winter flu season and corona virus it is important to keep your body healthy. It is great for your body and a big stress reliever. Double-win.

Keep yourself healthy physically and mentally.

Tip 6: Be Kind to Yourself

Be kind to yourself and listen to your body. I am currently 16 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I get tired easily. I constantly have to remind myself to take it easy and that rest is ok. The key for me is to find ways to cope during the Holiday Season. If you don’t feel like shopping in the stores stay home and order online. When you are tired, sleep in. If you want that cookie with your afternoon coffee…eat it. If you don’t want to cook tonight. Get some pizza to throw in the oven and take the pressure off yourself.

Tip 7: Remember what the holidays are really about

Go with the flow. Safely hang out with family, decorate for Christmas, bake and eat all those yummy cookies, play in the snow… and just have fun.

The holidays are a time to focus on the positive, amid quarantine and Covid. Even though quarantine is not ideal, there’s still plenty of positivity to focus on. Focusing on positivity is a big way to protect your mental health.

Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone.
