Mom’s Guide to Surviving the Last Minute Holiday Stress with Melissa Gerstein

NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2016 -- The holiday season is a wonderful time of year, a chance to reconnect with friends and loved ones. However, as many of us are aware, the holiday season can also be chaotic and stressful. Between last minute shopping, party planning, and never ending to-do lists, it is more important than ever to stay organized amidst the chaos. This year, co-founder of TheMoms.com, Melissa Gerstein, in conjunction with D S Simon Media and YourUpdate.TV, has provided some tips and tricks that will help keep your home calm and stress-free this holiday season.

Holiday’s are for the family, and nothing brings family together quite like a fun, shared experience. One thing everyone is excited about this year is the new virtual reality headset from Verizon. The Daydream View is an easy-to-wear virtual reality headset and controller for high quality and immersive VR experiences. All you need to do is place your Google Pixel or Daydream-ready phone into the headset and be amazed at all of the incredible experiences it has to offer. Whether you want to swim with dolphins, visit the Taj Mahal, enjoy timeless paintings or look down into an active volcano, the Daydream View can take you there, and with Verizon’s 4G LTE network, the View will take you there quickly!

While we all can enjoy these buzzed about tech products, a good holiday party isn’t truly ‘good’ without some delicious food. This year, instead of getting stressed when friends and family show up at your door, get Pizza Hut! Between Twitter, Facebook, Pizzahut.com, and now, the Amazon Echo, there are more ways to get some pizza than ever before. The best part? During the holidays, you can order any large Pizza Hut pizza for carryout, with unlimited toppings, for just $10. This year, you don’t need to break the bank in order to keep everyone well fed.

We all know that the holiday season inconveniently coincides with the start of flu season. As we stress over shopping lists and holiday parties, our immune system can easily be compromised by increased exposure to germs. No one—especially mom’s—can afford to be bed-ridden during this busy time, and this year, there is an easy solution. Be mindful of early symptoms! Oscillococcinum, a homeopathic medicine, reduces both the severity and duration of flu-like symptoms. Clinical studies show simply taking Oscillococcinum at the first sign of fever, aches, chills or fatigue can go a long way towards getting you back to what you want to do this holiday season.
