"So we spend endless hours here on this blog talking about how to look great--now let&amp;#x27;s talk about those times when we sit around undoing all the beauty progress we&amp;#x27;ve made. You know what I&amp;#x27;m referring to: days like today and tomorrow, when we&amp;#x27;re home for the holidays and suddenly, with wild abandon, swap all our good habits for very, very bad ones. My bad holiday habits are in full effect as I type this, since I&amp;#x27;ve already been at the parents&amp;#x27; house for several days. Examples: Usually vitamins are the last thing I consume before bed. But last night, they were replaced by several fistfulls of Peanut M&amp;amp;Ms. Fruits--even those I ordinarily love, like clementines--are avoided at all costs. I try not to even make contact with the fruit basket on the counter; instead, I go directly for the closest item involving white flour and/or cheese. I start drinking wine around 4 p.m. and continue until bedtime. And forget things like exfoliation and eye cream--it&amp;#x27;s a damn miracle if I manage to remove last night&amp;#x27;s eye makeup by noon. Thus, I am putting up this post as a place for us to vent about our disastrous habits throughout the next couple days. What are your biggest holiday weaknesses and beauty bads? Please, let&amp;#x27;s group-share. Or ... are you all looking holiday-gorge and it&amp;#x27;s just me who morphs into an unattractive slob? Happy travels everyone. I hope your holidays are merry--even if they ain&amp;#x27;t pretty! Photo: iStock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
