HOST A pArTyThis is a great time to host parties, be it a Friendsgiving, cookie swap, gingerbread house making soiree or New Year’s Eve party. If you’re feel-ing fancy: cook a meal, decorate the house and send formal invitations. If not, send an evite, have everyone bring a dish, and use your nicest paper plates-- the point is to spend time together, the perfect setup comes in different packages..

SENd mAiL TO FriENdS& FAmiLyReach out to old friends – and new! Make a card for Aunt Sally whom you haven’t talked to in months, write a letter to your favorite high school teacher, or send a care pack-age to your best friends. There are all sorts of sales, cards and adorable holiday stamps you can buy to help you out.

BriNG pEOpLE TOGETHErIf you have a group of friends from college or your first job nearby, con-sider planning a brunch or dinner. You could also bring people togeth-er for a cause by signing up to volun-

teer at the local food shelter, places of worship or nonprofits. There are always opportunities to help out and bring extra cheer.

TurN yOur TO dO LiST iNTO AN AdvENTurEThe holidays come with a mile-long to-do list – shopping, send-ing cards, wrapping gifts, mailing gifts – but each one of these can be turned into a social activity. Host a wrapping party and have everyone bring a different type of paper or write holiday cards together with a bottle of wine or two (start with the family cards first).

SCHEduLE TimE TO rELAxThere’s no better way to relax than to actually build time into your schedule. Invite someone over to watch a favorite holiday movie (any other Love Actually fans out there?), invite a friend over for hot chocolate and to read together, or find a partner to run with to help keep off the holiday pounds. What-ever relaxing means to you, share the joy with someone else.

mAKE A rESOLuTiONThe beginning of the year is a great time to remind yourself to do better at keeping in touch with the people you love leading up to the next hol-iday season. Make a list of people to put next to your computer, buy birthday cards in advance, or set a reminder on your calendar to call your friends. Whatever it takes. My final advice… If you’re “going home” for the holidays, think about who you’d like to see in person. If you’re staying put, think about who has meant a lot to you that you’d like to spend the time with.

Gather addresses early to get cards out in time and instead of looking at your to-do list as a burden, think about how you can turn it into an adventure instead. So enjoy the bustle of the holidays. Take some time to enjoy the pump-kin lattes and peppermint mochas. And don’t forget to stay in touch with the people you love, because if you can’t say how you care during the holidays, when can you, eh?

“THE HOLidAyS” is a distinctly American phrase which ref-erences that wonderful stretch of time from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve. It’s a time of festivities, holiday cheer and new beginnings. It doesn’t quite feel like The Holidays without being surrounded by the peo-ple, the celebrations and the traditions we love. But with the bustle of the season, it’s easy to lose sight of the people that matter most. Here are six ideas that make it easier to stay in touch with those important individu-als in your life and enjoy the holiday season:

HOw ArE yOu GOiNG TO THrivE THiS NEw yEAr?

Tis' the season to think about new beginnings for us hustlin' ladies. There's nothing better than filling up on those journals with personal growth wisdom and also filling our calendars with goals and events galore. But— occasional-ly— as over-achievers and "do it all"-types, we tend to go go go without giv-ing our bodies and minds the opportunity to chill out and measure if we are still on the grind to achieve our happy… or just on the grind because everyone around us is “busy” so we should be busy and stressed too. No thank you!

So how do we ensure we are still doing what we love and loving what we do with an important focus on maintaining work/life balance? We learn and em-body how to T-H-R-I-V-E every day!

You can THRIVE by:

Being THOuGHTful, care for yourself and be thoughtful toward others.

Incorporate that HusTlE. Be an action-taker and allow yourself to ride the busy wave every now and then. Do, how-ever, take care of yourself in the process and be proud of your accomplishments.

Incorporate REsIDuAl GROwTH into each day. Read an uplifting article, listen to a podcast and commit to remaining curious.

InsPIRE others with your story. You are uniquely you and this is important.

Know you are VAluAblE and that you are perfect the way you are.

Feel EMPOwERED to make decisions that make you feel uplifted and powerful. Step into this today.

1. PreP aheadSo you can join the fun, too.

I like to plan out my menu, shop-ping list, and cooking schedule a few days before the gathering. Try to choose dishes that you can make in advance or that you can com-plete before guests arrive. (Remem-ber to ask your friends if they have allergies or dietary restrictions!) For this brunch, I made something sweet - jumbo cranberry-orange muffins, something savory - scallion and celery quiche, something easy to assemble - blackberry compote yogurt parfaits and a centerpiece - the french toast platter.

I also like to strategize my outfit to be both cute and comfy. (Who says you can’t have it all?!) With easy to wear fabrics and fashion-forward silhouettes, Leota dresses are fem-inine, sophisticated, and effortless. Perfect whether you are hosting the party or attending.

2: have a signaturecocktailGive it your own special touch.

We’re drinking mimosas, which is a classic combo of OJ and sparkling wine like prosecco or champagne. I added cranberries to ours to make them festive!

3: garnish + disPlay-Make your dishes insta-ready.

Our french toast platter is finished with a light dusting of powdered sugar and some raspberries and cranberries heaped generously in the all corners. Good garnishes add a pop of color, hint at the ingredi-ents that are included in the dish, and most importantly, are edible! We enjoyed our brunch on Susty Party’s NEW festive Holiday Col-lection compostable tableware. After cleaning, cooking and hosting, the last thing I want to do is dishes.

I had a blast hosting my fellow NYC Lady Projects gals at my home for this special photo shoot! Inviting my friends and family over for a meal is one of my favorite things to do any time of year but during the holidays I like to take it up a notch. Here are three tips for making your next gathering an extra special success:

I love using Susty products because they’re guilt-free: I can save time, help the environment and serve my dishes in style. Find Susty products at your local Whole Foods Market this holiday season.

Holiday SpiritsbOOzy DIy GIfTs THAT wIll wARM THEIR

HEARTs & sPARE yOuR wAllET

STArT wiTH yOur SuppLiESAll you need is a spirit, a flavoring, a bottle to put it in and a label to put on that bottle. I like the $3.49 Korken glass bottles from Ikea, and the Martha Stewart for Avery labels, which are pretty enough to be all the decoration you need. The best part is that because you’re adding the flavor, you can choose inexpensive spirits to play with.

iNFuSE yOur BOOzEThe flavor combinations are end-less. Make your own spiced whis-key with a bottle of bourbon, a vanilla bean and some cinnamon sticks. Cranberry vodka is as easy as simmering sugar, water and fresh cranberries, and adding that to vodka. Think about what will taste delicious, and what will look pretty in a bottle. Meyer lemon and rosemary-infused gin? Gorgeous. My go-to is the deceptively simple, two ingredient recipe that’s included. It’s a huge crowd pleaser, and people ask for a bottle (or the recipe) year after year.

pumpKiN piE vOdKA1-750ml bottle of vodka (Svedka works well for this)1 can Libby’s Pumpkin Pie Mix

1. Combine the two in a pitcher or plastic jug.

2. Let sit for 2-3 weeks, shaking daily to maximize the surface area exposure.

3. Strain through a fine mesh sieve.

4. Discard pumpkin.

5. Strain a second time into your gift bottle.

6. Serve chilled in a martini glass, with or without a graham cracker rim.

When it comes to the holidays, DIY gifts are a way to give thoughtful, handmade things to people you care about. But unless you’re a craft pro, your handmade treasures are probably going to cost you more in supplies and sweat equity than just buying something would. And let’s face it— even your mom probably won’t wear your hand-knit gloves that are missing two fingers.

One foolproof DIY gift, though, is booze. Infuse your own flavored con-coction for an inexpensive gift that wows every time. Here’s how:

Healthy Eating

DuRInG THE HOlIDAys

A packed social calendar means lots of dress-up and glass clink-ing, but as anyone trying to stick to healthy eating habits knows, it also means lots of opportunities to over-indulge. No need to sit home sipping green juice, though. These tips will help you navigate the scene this holiday season with feel-good, look-good confidence.

BEFOrE yOu GODecide ahead of time whether to eat a meal before or afterwards—or rely on whatever might be avail-able there (“light refreshments” for dinner, anyone?). Either way, don’t show up starving—hunger makes clear-headed choices tough. Plus, it’s hard to relax and have fun when you’re hangry. Also important: you could get drunk more quickly on an empty stomach. Speaking of, it helps to decide ahead of time how much you plan to drink.

Eat before you head out, have a pro-tein-rich, fiber-filled snack like:

• Greek yogurt with ground flax or chia seeds • An apple with some nuts, nut butter, or a hard-boiled egg • Half a PB & J or turkey sandwich on whole wheat • A green smoothie with protein powder • A protein bar

If you’ll be noshing on appetizers, opt for something lighter but still filling, like:

• Broth-based veggie soup • Sliced veggies with hummus • A few rolled up slices of turkey

Undecided? Stash a some jerky, nuts, or dry roasted edamame in your purse so at least you have options.

duriNG THE pArTyScope out the snack selection. If there’s a buffet, see what’s available before grabbing a plate. Fill half with veggies and the rest with lean protein and carbs. Go slow with fried appetizers and puff-pastry creations. Rather than tasting ev-erything, pick one or two “must-try” desserts.

Instead of stationing yourself near the food, walk to another part of the room to eat. This helps your body register that you’ve actually con-sumed something and helps you feel satisfied.

Pace yourself. Alternate alcohol with water or seltzer. A few smart sips: • With ~ 80 calories per glass, champagne and prosecco are lower in calories than wine & beer • Try calorie-free club soda as mixer with hard liquor • Try your whiskey on the rocks or neat

AFTEr pArTy EATSMake it easy to eat smart when you stumble home hungry. To keep from accidentally plowing through a box of cereal or bag of chips, pre-portion out items that come in large containers and store in an easy-to-reach place. You can even leave a snack on the counter so you have something healthy waiting when you get in. Just make sure to eat away from the fridge to avoid ab-sent-minded munching.

If convenience store snacks are your downfall, keep a list on your phone of some healthier choices. Try yogurt, nuts, a cheese stick, fruit, instant oatmeal, or popcorn.

If your crew likes to hit up the din-er after an event, there are tons of great options. Try cereal with milk, eggs, or toast. A cup of soup can also be soothing if your throat is sore from shouting over the party noise.

Not sure where the evening will take you? Stash a snack in your purse. A few good options: trail mix or a pro-tein bar.

Above all else, smile and have fun—CHEERS!

HOMEMADE COOkIEs ARE THE bEsT PART Of CHRIsTMAs

There was one tin for every branch of the family tree, handed out on Christmas Day and never opened until people got home, lest the vul-tures descend to devour someone else’s cookies. Seriously. They’re that good. We all have our favorites: mine is a rasPberry coconut bar; Uncle Buddy’s is the molasses lumberjack; Aunt Norma Jean’s is santa’s Whiskers, which are shortbread cookies with nuts, cherries and coconut that are a de-licious 1950s throwback. But the secret to the cookies isn’t any one recipe— though most of my mom’s come from a battered copy of the Woman’s Day Cookie Cookbook from the 1960s. It’s the combina-tion of all of them together. When the flavors meld, they all take on a little bit of each other, creating better versions of every individual cookie. It’s a lot like Christmas it-self: being together is the best part.

Three decades later, those cookies are as important to our celebration as our well worn and well loved Christmas stockings. As time went on, we handed them out with gifts,

and then, when we decided as a family that we would scale back the largess of our exchanges, in place of presents entirely. Only now, my family understands that the three days of mixing, chopping, rolling and kneading are the best gift they could receive: because we do it ev-ery year; because families change, but some things, like these cook-ies, stay the same; because they’re baked with love (and, let’s face it, some wine).

BETH-ANNE’SSANTA’SwHiSKErSYields 60 cookies

1 cup butter, softened1 cup sugar2 tablespoons milk1 teaspoon vanilla or rum extract2 1/2 cups flour3/4 cup finely chopped red and green candied cherries1/2 cup finely chopped pecans3/4 cup flaked coconut

1. In a mixing bowl or a mixer with a whisk attachment, cream together butter and sugar, then add milk and extract.

2. Add flour, cherries and pecans.

3. Form dough into two 8 inch rolls, and roll in flaked coconut to coat the outside.

4. Wrap in waxed paper or plas-tic wrap, and chill several hours or overnight.

5. Cut into 1/4 inch slices and place on ungreased cookie sheets.

6. Bake at 375F until edges are golden, about 12 minutes.

My family’s most cherished holiday tradition started out as a way to save money. In the ‘80s, my endless need for Barbies and Nintendo games claimed all of my young mother’s Christmas budget— which was great for me, but there was that little issue of giving to the rest of my family. Always resourceful, her solution was: those who can’t buy, bake. So she started baking Christmas cookies. Dozens and dozens of cookies, in varieties ranging from chocolate chiP to the old New England favorite lumberjacks, savory Peanut butter cookies and lesser-known rec-ipes like almond-based greek kourabiedes.

HOw TO fInD nATuRAlInGREDIEnTs fOR RADIAnT skIn

I spent the better part of my 20’s and early 30’vs exhaustively research-ing makeup and skincare products to verify that I was supporting nat-ural and ethically responsible com-panies whenever possible. Here are some helpful tips when looking at your skincare product labels:

iNGrEdiENTS ANdprESErvATivESCertain natural ingredients may look complicated but often have their common name in parenthe-ses. Usually a Latin qualifier such as “radix,” “fructus” or “rhizoma” is contained in the name. Infinity Apothecary’s Moisturizing Veritas Serums contain Glycyrrhizae Ra-dix extract which is noted on the label as “Glycyrrhizae Radix (Lico-rice root) extract.” Other examples are “Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera),” and “Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit Extract.”

Chemicals to avoid often contain phrases and/or numbers, such as “poly-, “propyl-“ “peg-100,” “phe-nol-” or “benzo-.” One exam-ple is propylene glycol, a petro-leum-based chemical also found in antifreeze that acts as a neurotox-in. Another is oxybenzone, which is used as a sunblock. Among its harmful qualities, it can accumu-late in the body over time, causing

cellular mutations. It also has a detrimental environmental impact on ocean wildlife. Badger SPF 30 Unscented Sunscreen contains zinc oxide, a natural alternative that provides a barrier to UV rays while carrying a significantly lower risk of absorption and cellular re-action. As an added bonus, it is also biodegradable.

Preservatives are necessary to prevent microbial growth. Mi-crobes - harmful bacteria and fun-gi - can not only ruin shelf life; they can also cause illnesses or skin reactions. However, several com-panies manufacture preservatives derived from sources such as rad-ishes, elderberries and kimchee. They are all natural and they ward off unwanted microbial growth while still being gentle on skin. Look for preservatives that are ECOCERT approved. Preserva-tives to avoid include all parabens, which mimic the behavior of the hormone estrogen, and triethanol-amine, which is used to adjust pH but can cause allergic reactions.

ASK QuESTiONS + ACCESS AvAiLABLE rESOurCESManufacturers should be able to answer exactly why they’ve formu-lated a product the way they have without giving away trade secrets.

If you can’t get answers from the manufacturer, one of the best ways to determine an ingredient is to re-search it. A basic explanation or simple chemical analysis should come up right away, but make sure to check reliable resources. The Environmental Working Group has a site called Skin Deep [EwG.OrG/

SKiNdEEp] that also has a mobile app. It has a great deal of information, from which ingredients to avoid to how different ingredients affect the various body systems, and the risk level of each. PETA [pETA.OrG] has a fantastic resource for finding companies that are cruelty free. It has lists of both companies that do and do not test on animals, so you can cross reference if you don’t see the company you’re looking for.

We all want radiant skin, and the best way to do that is to nourish it with natural products free from synthetic chemicals. Here’s to hap-py, healthy complexions and a vi-brant holiday season!

FuN FACT: The skin is the largest organ of the body. It is responsible for protecting you, regulating your temperature, and it is indicative of what you put both on and in your body. But when it comes to skincare, how do you know exactly what you’re using and how it can benefit (or harm) you?

Pads and tampons are what homeless women ask for most often.That’s why Amenity Aid pioneered Lady Care Collection, a campaign to bring awareness and action to the immense need for feminine care products in homeless and domestic violence shelters.

Host a Lady Care Collection We are looking for social or corporate events, workshops, parties and other gatherings in Rhode Island to run a Lady Care Collection.

Simply ask every attendee to bring a donation of a feminine care product to your get-together.

We provide promotional material to help you spread the word about the collection drive and bins to store the donations.

LOOK ONE: ST E p By ST E p

STEp 3: Then use a fluffy round brush to blend a copper color to contour in the lid crease in a V shape to outside corner of lash line.

STEp 2: Even out eyelid skin tone with concealer, which also helps to hold eyeshadow in place. Add a sheer wash of iri-descent gold over lid from brow to lashes.

STEp 1: Start with a fresh moisturized face.

STEp 4: Then use the same color to tight line your top lash line, your upper + lower water-line (inside line of your eye). Apply mascara to top + bottom lashes. Use a half of a lash strip for each eye, for a subtle glam look. Apply lash glue to strip and wait 5 secs for it to get tacky before applying. Look down, but don’t close your eye when applying lashes. (side note: the diameter of your lash line gets smaller when they are closed) Re-apply mascara to top lashes to blend the fake with your real lashes!

STEp 5: Use concealers as col-or correctors to get the your skin tone even before applying foudation. (side note: color cor-rectors follow the color wheel, where opposite colors cancel each other out. for example: green concealer cancels redd-ness, orange tone concealer cancels blue tones under eye) Then apply foundation, set with translucent powder.

STEp 6: Add a cheek color + a nude lip!

STEp 7: Use a teasing brush or comb to make a straight deep side part.

STEp 8: Use the comb or brush to smooth hair + pin back the side with less hair. Use your non dominant hand to hold hair while using dominant hand to place bobbi pins (for an even more fun look try fashion pins, colored or glittered bobbis!) in desired design!

STEp 9: Use flat iron to straighten, reduce frizz + add shine for the sleek look!

STEp 10: Spray into place with your favorite hair spray.

STEp 11: Knock their socks off, You Fine LADY!

LOOK TwO: ST E p By ST E p

STEp 3: Wet angled liner brush and coat in black eyeshadow. Gently hold end of brow to make lash line taught. Smudge color into lash line, called tight lining. Repeat until lash line is defined. Tight lining the lid ensures no space between lashes and liner!

STEp 1: Start with a fresh moisturized face. STEp 2: Even out eyelid skin tone with concealer, which also helps to hold eyeshadow in place. Add a sheer wash of iri-descent gold over lid from brow to lashes.

STEp 4: Apply mascara to top + bottom lashes. Use a half of a lash strip for each eye, for a subtle glam look. Apply lash glue to strip and wait 5 secs for it to get tacky before apply-ing. Look down, but don’t close your eye when applying lashes. (side note: the diameter of your lash line gets smaller when they are closed) Re-apply mas-cara to top lashes to blend the fake with your real lashes!

STEp 5: Use concealers as col-or correctors to get the your skin tone even before applying foundation. (side note: col-or correctors follow the color wheel, where opposite colors cancel each other out. for ex-ample: green concealer cancels redness, orange tone concealer cancels blue tones under eye) Then apply foundation, set with translucent powder then add a pop of color to your lips to complete this look!

STEp 6: Start with day old (or more) dirty hair. Use dry shampoo (we love R+Co Bad-lands + Death Valley) to help with absorbing any grease and to add texture. Use a curling wand to add gentle waves to the front section of your hair. Hold wand pointed down and wrap hair from shaft to end curling away from the face on either side.

STEp 9: Use a mirror to check out what the back is looking like and don’t be afraid to use your fingers to guide the hair where you want it to be.

STEp 7: Lightly tease hair in the back of your head. Hold section with tension and use teasing brush to tease from end of hair towards root. Your hair might look crazy but leave the tease in. (side note: do not brush out teasing before show-ering, just get your head wet, add conditioner and comb through in shower before your normal hair care routine)

STEp 8: Tousle hair then sweep back into low pony at nape of neck and twist. Wrap excess hair around non-domi-nant hand. Use hair pins (side note: chinese hair pins from Sally’s Beauty are the bestest!) to grab hair and slide in to hold on head. Repeat until it feels secure.

STEp 10: Put on your Dancing Shoes for a night out with the LADIES!
