The holiday season is upon us. A time meant for family, friends, love and good cheer. But with all the added social and family obligations, travel arrangements and gift buying, on top of our everyday life commitments, things can get a bit stressful.

Therefore, I've come up with a few self-care activities to help keep stress at bay and to hopefully find more joy during the holiday season.
