]]> Many of us are thankful that this year is almost over as it has been super frustrating and challenging. While 2020 hasn’t been the year we were dreaming of, there’s still plenty of time to make it better. Going into 2021, it’s time to shift your mindset and be more positive. Here’s how to add some positivity into your life.

Connect with Family

One of the hardest parts of this year has been missing all of the holidays and family gatherings. Next time you feel lonely, connect with your family via video calls, by picking up the phone, or mailing letters.

Volunteer Virtually

The holiday season is all about giving back and this year, it has been harder to do that because we can’t volunteer due to social distancing. There are a lot of volunteer opportunities online like fundraising by sending emails or writing letters, donating to a cause important to you, or offering your talents to a nonprofit organization.

Interact with Coworkers

While working from home seemed nice in the beginning, it has been really isolating. In addition to virtual and video conferencing with your coworkers, you can connect with them on a more personal level through virtual happy hours or phone conversations.

Be Creative

Now is the perfect time to start a new hobby because really, there is nothing better to do. Learn how to crochet, take up an online painting class, or pick up the guitar you bought years ago.

Finland: Glamping

Wherever in Finland you decide to go, you won’t make a mistake. Our recommendation is the Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort East Village that offers a unique glamping experience with a spectacular view on Northern Lights.

Iceland: Blue Lagoon

6,500-ft deep Blue Lagoon is one of the first things many of Iceland’s visitors come to see, and for a good reason.

Italy: The Alps

Wooden houses, amazing food, and pools that overlook snowy hills are just some of the wonders that wait for you in Italy.

]]> Fourth of July is just around the corner, and if you’re going through your closet looking for inspiration, follow these fashion ideas for the cutest 4th of July look you could ask for.

Bathing Suits

Even if you’re not at the beach this 4th of July, it’s still a fine time to throw on that Americana bathing suit you’ve been saving! Bathing suits are a great party accessory because it’ll keep you cool and you’ll look super unique! Pair it with denim shorts, white shorts, a denim mini skirt, or whatever you’re comfortable with.

American Flag

There’s nothing more American than wearing the flag right on your clothes! Especially if you don’t want to put in too much effort into an outfit, matching an American flag shirt with a simple pair of denim shorts is the best way to show your American spirit in a more casual way.

Stars and Stripes

Another great design to rock for 4th of July is a garment with either stars or stripes. This is a wonderful more abstract way to display the flag with designs you might already have in your closet! And even if you buy something new, you can re-wear it throughout the year since it isn’t costumey or too over the top.

]]> Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and even if you’ve never planned one before, it’s an easy holiday to get right. All you have to do is set in place a few special things and everything else will fall into place. The most important thing is that you enjoy time with your significant other on this special day!

Pick One Activity

Things will start to fall apart if you try to do everything in one day. Instead, focus on planning one activity for you to do with your partner so you won’t get overwhelmed. Whether it’s a romantic activity like a couple’s massage or something along those lines or something silly like laser tag, choose one thing to do together.

Food

After your activity, decide on your eating situation. It doesn’t have to be a huge romantic dinner, it could be a picnic in the park, a dinner at home, or even going to a fun buffet you both love.

Presents

First, discuss with your partner if you want to exchange gifts. Then, if you both agree, get something that you know they’ve been wanting or something that reminds you of them. You can also always make something by hand which is always a sweet gesture.

]]> During the holidays, most of us get together with friends and family and take many photos. If you want to look your best in them (and who doesn’t?), be careful with your outfit colors.

Experts from the Pantone Institute have shared that there are certain shades that will make you look bad in photos and other ones that will bring the best out of you.

If you love pastel colors, we have to disappoint you. They will make you look pale and washed out and you’ll have difficulties balancing your look even if your makeup skills are top notch. Put aside your pastel sweaters for now and save them for lounging around the house after the holidays.

To look your best on the photos, wear dark red or turquoise. Pantone experts agree that those are the colors that will make you look radiant every single time. If you prefer neutrals, your best bet is gray.

]]> Now that the holidays are over, your wallet probably needs a detox from all that spending. This January, use several creative ways to save more than ever before.

Buy a Bike

You probably don’t see many people on their bikes in the middle of January, but that only means this is an ideal time to purchase one with a discount.

Plan Valentine’s Day

We hope you learned something from last-minute Christmas shopping – to avoid last-minute anything at all cost. Everything you can possibly need for Valentine’s Day is already available and you can plan a thoughtful gift for your significant other a whole month earlier.

Buy Decor for Next December

Now that the holidays are over, Christmas decor is heavily discounted. If you’re a smart shopper, you’ll use that to stock up for the next season!

]]> Parties are awesome no matter what time of the year it is. If you’re sad that the holidays are over and you didn’t get to spend as much time with friends as you wanted, it’s time for a January party! And if you like party activities but are already sick of board games, here’s a list of fun ones.

Playing Instruments

It’s enough to leave any instruments you have in the visible spot and someone will eventually start to play!

Craft Station

If you and your friends are into crafts, you can spend some time making cute ornaments, charms, jewelry pieces, knitting something, etc. At the end, everyone gets to take something home!

Cooking Show

Instead of sitting down on the couch watching endless episodes of cooking shows, make one and have some fun! You can split into teams and compete in making the best version of a certain dish or a cocktail.

Theme Party

Announce in advance that you’re having a theme party and that everyone needs to get dressed accordingly. The less time you give your guests, the more creative they will be!

]]> Just because Christmas is over, it doesn’t mean that you don’t get to spend time being comfy around the house. What best way to relax after a long day at work but to watch a holiday movie that will make you feel like the holidays are not behind us. After all, it’s still dark and cold outside. And these movies are equally good whether you watch them for the first time or know them by heart.

It’s a Wonderful Life

“An angel is sent from Heaven to help a desperately frustrated businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed.”

Love Actually

“Follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England.”

Home Alone

“An eight-year-old troublemaker must protect his house from a pair of burglars when he is accidentally left home alone by his family during Christmas vacation.”

Elf

“After inadvertently wreaking havoc on the elf community due to his ungainly size, a man raised as an elf at the North Pole is sent to the U.S. in search of his true identity.”

A Charlie Brown Christmas

“Repelled by the commercialism he sees around him, Charlie Brown tries to find the true meaning of Christmas.”

The Polar Express

“On Christmas Eve, a young boy embarks on a magical adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express, while learning about friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas.”

]]> Holidays are weird – some people can’t help but be happy at all times, while others suffer more than during the rest of the year. There are many possible reasons for holiday stress, from pressure at work to the nostalgia for the past to feeling miserable for not accomplishing goals and last year’s resolutions…

Holiday depression is a thing and if you suffer from it, you need tools to cope with it. Do you feel like you’ve just “had enough” and don’t know how to deal with that feeling? Try these simple tips.

Turn Off Social Media

It’s well-known that social media trigger anxiety so it might be best to turn it off if you’re feeling extra sensitive. You won’t really benefit from seeing highlights from other people’s lives.

Take Yourself Out for a Coffee

The weather probably isn’t tempting you to go out, but do it anyway – by yourself. Stop by a newsstand and pick up your favorite magazine, then visit a cozy coffee shop that you definitely don’t go to as often as you should.

Cook

Cook a meal for those you love or cook for yourself. If you can bake, even better! Kneading the dough and chopping vegetables can be really therapeutic.

Read

When you’ve had enough of the real world, the best thing you can do is escape by reading a great book.

Ingredients:

To prepare your gingerbread hot chocolate you will need 1/4 cup brown sugar, 6 cups chocolate milk, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 2 tablespoons cookie spread, 3 teaspoons ground ginger.

Instructions:

Use a large saucepan to mix the cocoa powder, milk, cookie spread, chocolate milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir to help the ingredients dissolve properly. Make sure that it doesn’t reach the point where it boils. Cook the gingerbread hot chocolate for 5 minutes. When it starts steaming you can try just a little bit to make sure that it’s according to your taste. If it is, you can start pouring it into your favorite cups. You shouldn’t fill them to the top. The best options for toppings are whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate syrup and more. Top the hot chocolate off and add some mini gingerbread men. It is as delicious as it sounds. This warm drink is the perfect addition to your festive atmosphere at home.

]]> Now that the holidays are over, your wallet probably needs a detox from all that spending. This January, use several creative ways to save more than ever before.

Buy a Bike

You probably don’t see many people on their bikes in the middle of January, but that only means this is an ideal time to purchase one with a discount.

Plan Valentine’s Day

We hope you learned something from last-minute Christmas shopping – to avoid last-minute anything at all cost. Everything you can possibly need for Valentine’s Day is already available and you can plan a thoughtful gift for your significant other a whole month earlier.

Buy Decor for Next December

Now that the holidays are over, Christmas decor is heavily discounted. If you’re a smart shopper, you’ll use that to stock up for the next season!

]]> Parties are awesome no matter what time of the year it is. If you’re sad that the holidays are over and you didn’t get to spend as much time with friends as you wanted, it’s time for a January party! And if you like party activities but are already sick of board games, here’s a list of fun ones.

Playing Instruments

It’s enough to leave any instruments you have in the visible spot and someone will eventually start to play!

Craft Station

If you and your friends are into crafts, you can spend some time making cute ornaments, charms, jewelry pieces, knitting something, etc. At the end, everyone gets to take something home!

Cooking Show

Instead of sitting down on the couch watching endless episodes of cooking shows, make one and have some fun! You can split into teams and compete in making the best version of a certain dish or a cocktail.

Theme Party

Announce in advance that you’re having a theme party and that everyone needs to get dressed accordingly. The less time you give your guests, the more creative they will be!

]]> Just because Christmas is over, it doesn’t mean that you don’t get to spend time being comfy around the house. What best way to relax after a long day at work but to watch a holiday movie that will make you feel like the holidays are not behind us. After all, it’s still dark and cold outside. And these movies are equally good whether you watch them for the first time or know them by heart.

It’s a Wonderful Life

“An angel is sent from Heaven to help a desperately frustrated businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed.”

Love Actually

“Follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England.”

Home Alone

“An eight-year-old troublemaker must protect his house from a pair of burglars when he is accidentally left home alone by his family during Christmas vacation.”

Elf

“After inadvertently wreaking havoc on the elf community due to his ungainly size, a man raised as an elf at the North Pole is sent to the U.S. in search of his true identity.”

A Charlie Brown Christmas

“Repelled by the commercialism he sees around him, Charlie Brown tries to find the true meaning of Christmas.”

The Polar Express

“On Christmas Eve, a young boy embarks on a magical adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express, while learning about friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas.”

]]> Holidays are weird – some people can’t help but be happy at all times, while others suffer more than during the rest of the year. There are many possible reasons for holiday stress, from pressure at work to the nostalgia for the past to feeling miserable for not accomplishing goals and last year’s resolutions…

Holiday depression is a thing and if you suffer from it, you need tools to cope with it. Do you feel like you’ve just “had enough” and don’t know how to deal with that feeling? Try these simple tips.

Turn Off Social Media

It’s well-known that social media trigger anxiety so it might be best to turn it off if you’re feeling extra sensitive. You won’t really benefit from seeing highlights from other people’s lives.

Take Yourself Out for a Coffee

The weather probably isn’t tempting you to go out, but do it anyway – by yourself. Stop by a newsstand and pick up your favorite magazine, then visit a cozy coffee shop that you definitely don’t go to as often as you should.

Cook

Cook a meal for those you love or cook for yourself. If you can bake, even better! Kneading the dough and chopping vegetables can be really therapeutic.

Read

When you’ve had enough of the real world, the best thing you can do is escape by reading a great book.

Ingredients:

To prepare your gingerbread hot chocolate you will need 1/4 cup brown sugar, 6 cups chocolate milk, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 2 tablespoons cookie spread, 3 teaspoons ground ginger.

Instructions:

Use a large saucepan to mix the cocoa powder, milk, cookie spread, chocolate milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir to help the ingredients dissolve properly. Make sure that it doesn’t reach the point where it boils. Cook the gingerbread hot chocolate for 5 minutes. When it starts steaming you can try just a little bit to make sure that it’s according to your taste. If it is, you can start pouring it into your favorite cups. You shouldn’t fill them to the top. The best options for toppings are whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate syrup and more. Top the hot chocolate off and add some mini gingerbread men. It is as delicious as it sounds. This warm drink is the perfect addition to your festive atmosphere at home.
