The Haute Mess Holiday Survival Guide

Hey Babes! 

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and while I love the holidays, they can be stressful as fuck, so today I’m sharing three things to keep in mind this holiday season! 

Nobody’s Holiday Is As Perfect As It Looks 

We all use social media as a means to romanticize our lives, but no one’s life is fucking perfect. Don’t compare your actual life to someone else’s highlight reel. If it is hard for you to separate the two or if you’re not in a good mental state, stay off of social media for the day and be present in your real life. 

Laugh It Off 

Relatives are annoying and that’s putting it fucking nicely, okay? If someone at the dinner table annoys the fuck out of you, just laugh. Being amused will boost your mood. 

The other week at the store, I was in self checkout and the woman behind me was irritated at my pace, so I went even slower. It gave me a good chuckle and instead of being anxious or annoyed I laughed. Try it out and let me know if it works. 

It’s Just One Day 

It’s only one day! Twenty-four hours. No more, no less. That’s it. It won’t kill you to eat subpar cheese and crackers and pretend to be interested in little Timmy’s football team. My advice is to smile, nod and talk shit when you get in the car like a normal person. 

I’m thankful for you babes!
