Whether you’re single, coupled up or not sure exactly what the heck your relationship status is, we can all use a little more love in our lives.

Having an open, love-filled heart makes life happier, eases anxiety and may even prevent colds (no, seriously!).

No matter your relationship status, here’s how you can boost the love in your life this new year:

How’s your winter going? While our Savvy Team is all over the world right now, we’re all finding ourselves saying, “Baby, it’s cold outside!”

On our last team call we decided there are two ways to look at this season:

1. You just have to get through it.

2. Or (and this is what our team has decided to do) …

As much as you may try to live the optimistic life, do any of these thoughts ever pop into your head?

There’s no way I could do that.

I don’t think _______ will ever happen for me.

I’m just not good enough.

Maybe in my next lifetime!

We’re human and negative thoughts happen.

Ahhh, the excitement and anticipation of a New Year. As you know, we don’t like to use the “r” word around here (ahem, resolutions), but we do like to take a moment around this time to think about where we want to be in the months ahead.

The reason? Sometimes life can get so hectic that the days and weeks just sail on by. Then, at some point it hits.

The holidays are here, bringing magic, good tidings and cheer.

On behalf of our small (yet mighty!) Savvy Miss team I want to take a moment and thank you for welcoming us into your inbox and life. This has been an exciting past few months for us and we look forward to getting to know you more.

Here are four ways to make your holidays even brighter:

2019 is around the corner, and with the excitement of where we’d like the new year to take us, it’s easy to forget all that this year has done for us.

We here at Savvy Miss have never been big fans of resolutions, but we do know the importance of taking inventory of each year we say goodbye to.

What’s taking inventory, you may be wondering?

When it’s cold outside, nothing sounds better than putting on your coziest pair of sweats and snuggling up on the couch with a good book — or a cheesy holiday movie on Netflix (we get it!).

But you know those holiday parties glaring at you in your calendar? Before you start texting, “So sorry, can’t make it.” you might want to reconsider — and at least go to a few.

Each year it’s the same story — you have every intention of giving the most thoughtful holiday gifts, but if you’re like us, you end up making a mad dash to the mall in hopes of finding sentimental last-minute gifts.

This year, we’ve got your back, Savvy. Discover these truly meaningful gift ideas that we know your family and friends will love. You may even want to treat yourself to them too! 

We would say happy Black Friday, but a day filled with fighting over electronics and waiting in long lines isn’t our idea of a good time. What is? Doing something good this season. 

We’re not talking about buying your mom the sweater she’s been eyeing, or your sister that cozy robe that screams hygge.

Nope, we’re suggesting you give the ultimate meaningful gift: Your time, spent volunteering.
