In this very special holiday mini-episode, we share our favourite 12 listener tips to get through the holidays! We had so much fun reading all of your fantastic tips — thanks to everyone who sent them in.

Tip #1: Drink sparkling water with lime to feel full and stay low on calories.

You can also ask for your water in a lowball glass if you don’t feel like telling people you aren’t drinking, or add flavouring to soda water to make it more fun than plain water and encourage you to drink not only alcohol but water too.

Tip #2: Swap your wallet for a micro bag. Keep a small bag that has all your essentials at the office so you're ready to go at any time.

Tip #3: Style your hair with dry shampoo.

Tip #4: Prevent blisters and be ready for them when they happen.

Compeed Blister Plasters Dr. Scholls

Also: Keep ballet flats in your purse or carry a cloth shoe bag for indoor shoes so you’re minimizing the time you’re wearing those uncomfortable shoes.

Tip #5: Invest in a portable charger for your iPhone and you never run out of juice.

We like the Aukey Power Bank

Tip #6: Substitute going out for drinks with friends to celebrate the holidays with a trip to the yoga studio or spa to spend some quality time together.

Tip #7: Keep a fake tree in the living room and a small real tree in a pot in the kitchen for the kids to decorate as they like. It still gives you the smell and the scent and it's not as messy.

Tip #8: Use a moisturizing face mask that you don't have to wash off so you’ll be more inclined to use a face mask before bed.

Tip #9: Try to exercise every day no matter what, because it helps you sleep better and you feel less stressed.

Tip #10: Spend a little longer blow drying your hair on the weekend. Then before bed, twist your hair into a topknot and secure it with a scrunchie. This prevents you from getting frizz and bedhead while you sleep, and lets you go for more days without washing your hair.

Tip #11: Nap.

Tip #12: Don’t say yes to every party invite.

Thanks to everyone who sent in their tips!
