10 Things To Do Before Christmas

by Liz Heather in Ideas, Personal


I know that I'm still working on my autumn list of things to do, but here's the thing - autumn and Christmastime kind of overlap since the first day of winter is December 21st (did you think it was in November? 'Cause I did up until MAYBE last year). Anyway, Christmastime is happening and Imma get all up in it this year. Here's what I want to do. 

  1. Have drinks at the Waldorf Astoria. I've only done this once before and it was beautifully decorated for the holidays, so I really want to go again. (Update: since it’s 2022 and the Waldorf is still under construction - a better suggestion would be The Plaza or The Peninsula.)

  2. Bake those cupcakes with the ice cream cone Christmas tree because those look badass.

  3. Donate any old blankets, clothes & shoes (if you have kids, it might be a good idea to donate some of their old toys).

  4. Mail our (personalized) Christmas cards. It'd be weird if this didn't happen.

  5. Look for local Christmas fairs to visit (like these in New York or these in Toronto).

  6. Decorate the house and put up the tree!

  7. Wear new pajamas on Christmas morning.

  8. Go see the decorations at The Plaza Hotel & Macy's.

  9. Buy some mistletoe at Trader Joe's.

  10. Take a family portrait.

I encourage you to make a list of your own, not because I love lists but because if you do make one, then you're likely to actually complete some of these things and have a memorable December.

Scarf Weather

by Liz Heather in Ideas


You may not agree with me when I say that it's perfect scarf weather right now, but hear me out. If you're trying to wean off of wearing your winter coat completely, the perfect way to go about that is to stop wearing it altogether and start wearing scarves instead before you need to pack all of those things away until next winter. 

I've been doing it for about a week and it's worked out great. Especially because I don't need a coat in the morning since it's starting to get warm, but if I'm still out in the evening when it starts to get brisk - I've got my scarf in the bag ready to go. Or you could be an extremely well-put together adult and buy a spring jacket. I happen to like my suggestion more.

“As soon as you decide to stop wearing your winter coat for the season, take it to get dry cleaned before storing it away for next winter. Makes it last longer.”
