I'm a big fan of bringing the outdoors in!

I love to bring a bowl or basket filled with clementines that can be used as an easy centerpiece and enjoyed after the party.

We all have a friend or family member who can't bear the sight of a mess. Use her obsessive compulsion to your advantage! Whisper in her ear: "I'm always impressed by how neat your house is. Can you do me a favor and help tidy this place up as the night goes on?"

And one more thing: Sometimes comfort doesn’t matter. When a shoe is freakin’ fabulous, it may be worth a subsequent day of misery. Soak in Epsom salts and take comfort in the fact that you’re better than everyone else.

A basket of freshly baked pastries like scones make breakfast easy for your host the next day.
