After last month’s Mercury Retrograde, PART-AY might be in the air! A lot of energy with passionate Scorpio in the midst and the need to come out and about and be social. Holidays are approaching, and so begins the food… drinks… and dancing!

Leaves are changing and falling, there is a chill in the air, flu-season is about and party time is coming with the holidays around the corner. I am the first one to put on my party shoes so-to-speak but before we go nuts… it’s the perfect time to make sure we are taking care of ourselves before we are surrounded by non-stop eating, family/friend gatherings, guests bringing too much pie, turkey for days, and caramel pop-corn tins (are those still a thing?).
Taking care means eating the way your body needs you to, in order to function properly, and to keep your immune system up! If you’re missing out on vital nutrients from food when you’re back-to-back-to-back entertaining or partying… you should definitely be on top of any supplements you may take, your daily water intake, and adding in some juices to your diet is always helpful as well. While I don’t normally schedule “cheat days” per say… if I know a time is coming up where I may not eat the best way I should… I will over-prepare for that leading up to it. How? Maybe add 1 or 2 gym days that week and do everything else I just mentioned. Also more meatless days in the week if you do eat meat. And of course, on the day of an event, try my best to make the smartest choices while still enjoying myself (all in moderation, right?!).
If you have certain food allergies or serious restrictions, this might be very stressful for you! Here are some tips my mother who has a long list of allergies, uses now which has taken a lot of the stress and inconveniences out of all the family gatherings and parties:
Hopefully these ideas on preparedness, keeping the basics top of mind, and some tips for the aftermath are useful! Party it up and ENJOY… just know your limits and always be prepared.
