Oh, and on a final note when it comes to preparing food for your event, make sure that you check the dietary requirements of your guests in advance so you can cater to those specifically.

Hangry guests can instantly kill any holiday party vibe, so avoid this happening at all costs by serving more food than necessary. And if you are able to have a bit more room in the budget, definitely consider getting your event catered It will not only take away a ton of the stress but also ensure that guests are blown away by the food they are getting. If you are planning on doing a lot of the culinary preparation on your own, consider going for simple finger food menu items such as a cheese roll that simply needs to be placed in the oven or Caprese salads on a stick. But in general, you will want to have the logistics and menu nailed down at least a few days out in advance. The budget that you have for your party will ultimately dictate the direction of the type of food that you will be providing.

Consistency is key when it comes to getting the theming right for your ultimate winter holiday bash. Sleep quality matters, so if you don’t feel well-rested when waking up, perhaps it’s time to practice some good sleep habits.ĭo you want to go for a whimsical out of this world Christmas theme and transport guests to another world? Or do you want to go elegant and posh and make it more of a black-tie affair? Whatever direction you decide to go in, make sure to stick to that theme and ensure that all your decorations and decision making in general support it. But if you have trouble sleeping, you can experience health issues. People spend roughly one-third of their lives sleeping or napping. If you experience back pain, consider placing a pillow under your knees, so you can align the natural curve of your spine. Sleeping in a starfish position may induce lower back pain, which interferes with your normal sleep. According to studies, only 5% of people sleep in this position. Starfish is when you lie on your back and sleep with your arms lifted up near your head. Lying on your back with your arms tight to your body is actually a good sleeping position, as it helps maintain your spine in a straight line. Studies have shown that people who sleep like this may be quieter and more relaxed. It’s when you sleep with your arms down and very close to your body. This is a kind of a weird sleeping position, but very common. Now I know you've already been jammin' to his single, “Happens Like That." Lucky for you, Granger just released a new album last week, and it's fire. Not only is his album great, but he's also a must-see live. Remember the band Hot Chelle Rae? Well, their lead singer has decided to bless us in another genre as well. Brantley's got a unique voice that anyone will recognize. This one starts slower than most songs on this list, but it's worth a listen. I'm not a huge fan of Brantley's, but I must say, his latest album has some good ones. Incredibly relatable and unbelievably catchy. Here's another song I constantly have on repeat. I'm very hit or miss with a lot of Kelsea's songs, but she just dropped an album this past Friday, and the lyrics in this track will give you ALL the feels. If you haven't head his album yet, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? There aren't many songs Russell releases that I'm not down with. This is a jam, and if you haven't heard it, do yourself a favor and go listen. OK, OK, I know this one wasn't released recently, but it wouldn't be right if I didn't include it. So maybe this one's been circulating for a bit, but don't pretend you don't get hype whenever you hear the first few bars. You've probably heard his singles, but you need to listen to his other tracks, too (starting with this one). This Night Back – Canaan SmithĪ completely underrated artist, I swear. I'm definitely not a fan of Blake's, but I'm down for this one. Does "What Ifs" ring a bell? He recently released the Deluxe version of his self-titled album, and this track is a definitely a highlight. If you haven't heard this name already, I'm sure you've at least heard a single of his.
