The Everygirl

Going home for the holidays is a feat you should be applauded for. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family with my whole heart, but everyone’s stressed about something, there’s something in the air with the new year approaching, and it brings up a lot of random people and situations you thought you’d completely forgotten about.

There’s nothing like finding new ways to wear something you already have and we’re giving you six new ideas for how to wear your go-to red sweater this holiday season—with everything from a skirt to comfy, knit pants. The holidays are here, and it’s time to bring the spirit to our wardrobes.

Although first impressions aren’t always an accurate representation of who we are, they’re a way for people to create an idea of who they deem us to be. While the holidays are meant for feeling thankful, there tends to be some stress that comes with this festive season—especially if you’re meeting your partner’s family for the first time.

We’ve rounded up some of the tastiest, most universally crowd-pleasing appetizers that will be sure to be a hit at any holiday party you attend—whether it be your own family’s Christmas dinner, or just your office potluck. Bonus: most are incredibly easy to throw together but still look like you’ve got your sh*t together.

When it’s dark by the time you’re leaving work for the day, it can get much harder to find the motivation to keep up with a regular weekday routine and normally joyful hobbies. Going into this year’s winter, I decided to do my research and prepare myself for coping with the dwindling daylight hours and overall lack of sunshine.
