"Me Time" Ritual - $500 Gift Card Contest!

 

The holiday season is officially over and it's time to take things a little easier. The decorations have all come down by now, the glitter is being dusted away and we all need to recuperate as the rest of the year unfolds!

Everyone has their own "Me Time" ritual. Some like to snuggle up with a good book, others like to sit by the window with a hot cup of tea, and some even find it relaxing to practice their favourite yoga poses in their bedroom.

 

 

It's important that we all find the time to enjoy at least a few minutes a day to de-stress and let our minds let loose. We think there's no better place to do this than in the comfort of your own home. That's why Tribute is launching our first social media contest of the year to help you spruce up your "Me Time" Ritual!

We'll be giving away a $500 Homesense gift card to one lucky winner and entering could not be simpler! All you have to do is follow us on Instagram at @mytributehome or like us on Facebook and then comment on one of our "Me Time" posts.  Tell us your favourite way to wind down at home! 

The contest will begin on January 23nd end on January 30th at 11:59:59 ET and open to residents of Ontario ages 18 and above, is subject to the contest rules and regulations linked below .  Good luck to all the participants and we can't wait to here what your "Me Time" ritual is!

4 Step Guide to Conquering Back to School http://mytributeblog.ca/?p=608 Fri, 25 Aug 2017 14:10:26 +0000 http://mytributeblog.ca/?p=608
 

4 Step Guide to Conquering Back to School 

 

Summer is sadly coming to an end and we all know what that means.  The dreaded back to school season is upon us! But it doesn't have to be as crazy or stressful as it could be.  We've come up with a 4 step guide to conquering the back to school bug.  These tips may seem like no-brainers but trust us, they will take the inevitable chaos out of your mornings.

1. Pick out clothes for the week

Sundays should be set aside for prepping for the week.  That includes checking the weekly weather report and setting aside daily outfits for your children.  You could take it a step further and let them get involved in the decision making.  You know you will thank yourself come Monday morning, when you know that there is just one less thing for you to do.

2. Pre-pack school lunches

We know the last thing you want to do after a long day, is spend your evening prepping for tomorrow.  But you know what's worse?  Trying to get it done in the midst of screaming children, fighting siblings, or between changing dirty diapers.

3. Morning motivation checklist

Bring some positive reinforcement into your children's morning tasks.  Creating a morning motivation checklist could be just the thing you need to get the kids excited about getting ready for the day.

4. Grab & Go Backpacks

The last step to the morning is grabbing those backpacks and heading out the door.  All homework, school supplies, clothes, and accessories should  be packed and ready to go from the evening before.  All that's missing is a fresh lunch which you have already prepared because you've followed step 2!
