Cold Weather Solution: House Party!


Autumn and winter are very cold seasons. Snow, rain and wind seems to be one of the only things we can find on the streets. On top of all of this, the darkness falls very early. But please don’t worry about that, if you do not feel comfortable outside, prepare a flat party!

First, plan your party for when your parents are away from home. After that, call your friends and if your house is big enough, ask them to bring just one more person with them. But remember, do not let it get out of hand; don’t announce it by social networks!!

Meet with them to collect money to buy some important stuff (food, drinks, plastic plates and glasses, etc.). In these occasions the best food is ready meals and fast food; nice, easy and quick!


Later on, choose your favourite music and leave it in the computer you’re going to use. I recommend rock, pop and electro music because this tends to please anyone.

Move all furniture (or anything that makes dancing difficult) anything valuable that could be broken or stained.

And that’s it- call your friends to get to your house as soon as possible to start the party and just be concerned about enjoying your evening.

You can follow more tips on The House Party People, but do not get stuck too much!

My best advice is that if the party can be carried out in a friend’s house, it’s better than yours!

Little Everyday Things to Celebrate

Why wait for milestones and events to have a celebration when we can have something to celebrate everyday? When we get buried in our daily routine, we forget the little things that make every day bearable and worth to be lived. These things should be celebrated, simply and without fuss, just to remind them to ourselves.

Every achievement is a victory

 

 

After all, we are all winners and this in itself is worth celebrating! It can help getting through a long day at work or forgetting it altogether to remind yourself of little achievements, even if you think they are meaningless. Any problem solved, whatever its importance, is a victory and can be simply celebrated with a fist in the air and a 'yes' whispered to yourself. Not much maybe, but still better than nothing. Acknowledging that you are making progress will simply help you to tackle the rest of the day.

Create your own celebration opportunity

 

There are no rules about what you can celebrate, so make your own! You like a certain type of food and it's now in season? Have a feast of it to welcome it. Have a dance to celebrate the win of your team, or listen to your favourite singer to mark the release of their new album. If you're happy, just say it, and why not baking a cake to celebrate? Life in itself is a celebration so don't stop celebrating every little things.
