The holidays are finally upon us. Tis the seasons to laugh and celebrate. With a little more than a week left until Thanksgiving now is the perfect time to start planning your holiday survival. I have compiled 5 tips to ensure that you make it through the most festive season of the year in style.

1. Plan your party route in advance. Make sure you have sent an RSVP to every party you plan to attend. Check you calendar to make sure you haven’t double booked. If you have multiple engagements in a single night decide which one you will be making an appearance to first. Decide what time you will be leaving and plan an escape route.

    

2. Pick out your wardrobe ahead of time. There is nothing worse than getting ready for a party and realizing you have nothing to wear. Eliminate the stress and negative vibes by planning your holiday wardrobe ahead of time. Put together 3-4 comfortable and stylish party looks. Think about things such as wear ability, comfort, and appropriateness. Let those things be your guidelines when choosing outfits. Wear comfortable shoes. Parties are not the best time to try out your new towering heels.
   

    

3. Pace yourself. Drink plenty of water before and during the party. Try to have a small meal before you get to the party. When you arrive mingle with other guests before you head over to the bar or buffet. Have one drink at a time and make sure you have some water in between cocktails.
   

    

4. Practice restraint. Resist the urge to down that extra cocktail. If you are prone to snacking carry a clutch in one hand and a glass of sparkling water in the other. This will make eating inconvenient.
   

    

5. Smile, laugh and enjoy the time. Have fun and dance. Don’t get too caught up in worrying and just enjoy the moment.
