During the holidays, it’s especially important to try to be present and live in the moment, but this year, we’re taking it one step further by proposing we live it up in the moment. Because, let’s be honest, it’s been a rough oneand we all deserve to take it easy, do more of what makes us smile, toast to somehow getting through it all, and yes, shine like a disco ball in sequins (if that’s your thing). So go on: Holiday your way like never before.
