Ah, the holidays. A time to feel jolly and to spread good cheer. Right…? Or are you like most people and just the word “holidays” creates instant anxiety? Well, at The Boudoir Café, we have a degree in “sexy” and we are here to share some of our knowledge. Here are a few tips to keep the stress low and the sexiness high this holiday. Have Some You Time It can be hard to find some alone time with a house full of relatives and overactive children. We get it. But just 20-30 minutes a day to yourself can do you a world of good. Whether you use that time to read, write, sit quietly, meditate, exercise, or whatever else you do to relieve stress, make sure you are alone without interruptions. 
Have Some You Two Time Don’t forget about that special person. I know, for me, when I get around my family, I tend to make ample “sisters time” leaving my husband to fend for himself for most of the holidays. It’s important to spend time with those relatives that you don’t get to see often, but make sure you put some time aside for just the two of you to regroup and spend some alone time together. Don’t Overindulge & Stay Healthy But it’s the holidays! There is a reason they call this “flu season”, because people tend to overindulge and to not take care of themselves. You will get sick, and there is nothing sexy about that. Enjoy the holiday food and wine, but try to keep an eye out on your portions. Maybe you indulge just one meal a day instead of having Thanksgiving leftovers for breakfast, lunch, anddinner. And don’t ditch that exercise routine! Your busy schedule may cut your workouts short, but make sure to sweat it out at least once a day. It’s also a great time of year to get back on those multi-vitamins. Laugh, Smile, and Be Grateful It’s the holidays for goodness sake! If you are fortunate enough to be surrounded by the people you love and who mean the most to you, don’t forget to put all the stress aside and laugh without restraint, smile without reason, and be grateful for this moment. Nothing is sexier than a genuine smile. Trust us, we have a degree in this stuff.
