During the holiday season, things can get a bit chaotic. It’s always best to prepare beforehand and have some tips up your sleeve to make things a bit easier. Check out this video I did of some of my tips, courtesy P&G.
I had a great time filming the video at Robert Verdi’s Luxe Lab. Before filming, entertainment expert, Katie Lee, walked me through some of her tips. My favorite one of hers? Pour the wine and turn up the music after dinner to get everyone into clean-up mode.
Katie says, “When you’re hosting a party, the appearance of your home is as important as the meal you serve. I rely on products that help me get the cleaning done faster.”
Things to look out for when prepping your home is to make it dirt and dust-free, make sure it smells great and make sure the kitchen is spotless. My favorite item for getting this done is the Swiffer 360 Duster. It just grabs the dust and gets rid of it.
I had a great time filming the segment for P&G.
Do you have tips of your own that get you through the holiday season?
