Ideas for Plans During a Holiday Breakup

I know the holidays are really tough when you’re going through a breakup. I asked my followers what plans they had that they were excited about over the next month and these were the responses we got! If you don’t have plans, I hope you can find some inspiration from this list and get to making plans. The worst thing you can do is spend the month by yourself doing nothing. I will challenge you to plan 3 things you’re excited for this month.
