December Waffles Wisdom
Short on Legs, Big on Wellness
Winter is here, honey, and it’s time to sparkle brighter than those holiday lights! Remember, wellness isn’t a one-time thing — it’s a lifestyle, just like making choices that protect our planet. Take a moment to celebrate those wins, darling. It’s been a long year, and you’ve earned it! Step outside, let that crisp air kiss your cheeks, and soak up every bit of daylight you can. When the chill hits, wrap yourself in something cozy, sip on a warm drink, and take a moment to breathe. Even the fiercest queens need rest to slay another day. You’ve got this! Stay warm, stay fabulous, and keep shining like the winter star you are! ❄️✨

Dear Waffles,
I love skiing, traveling, and I often use AI tech for my work, but I can’t stop thinking about all the emissions and resources these things require. How can I keep enjoying what I love without feeling guilty about the impact?

Waffles: Oh, sugar, I hear you — it’s tough when your fave things feel like they come with an environmental price tag. But don’t hang up those skis or shut that laptop just yet! The key is finding balance, darling. For skiing and travel, look into offsets or support resorts and destinations committed to sustainability (some are leading the charge with renewable energy and conservation projects). As for tech, advocate for companies using greener AI practices — your voice has power! (Premiums for the Planet is a collective action movement, after all!) And remember, it’s not about being perfect; it’s about progress. You can still enjoy what you love while finding ways to minimize your impact and make choices that align with your values. Now go on and slay, guilt-free! ⛷️🌍✨
Dear Waffles,
The winter blues are hitting me hard! How can I keep my spirits up while staying sustainable this season?

Oh, honey, let’s put some pep back in your step and keep it eco-chic while we’re at it! Start with some sustainable self-care—think cozy thrifted sweaters, homemade soups, and a little DIY spa day using natural ingredients (hello, oatmeal face masks!). And don’t forget to get outside, even just for a stroll. The fresh air will do wonders for your fabulous spirit. Bonus points if you rock some cute layers made from recycled materials. You’ll look good, feel good, and stay green—werk it, darling!
Dear Waffles,
Waffles, my New Year’s resolution is to focus more on wellness and sustainability. Any tips for keeping both in balance?

I love this for you! First, start simple—drink your water, eat your greens, and stay hydrated like the queen you are. When it comes to sustainability, make it a habit to support local businesses or eco-friendly brands. Need to move your body? Swap the gym for nature—hiking, snowshoeing, or even shoveling snow (werk those arms!). And always, always take time to rest and recharge. Balance is the secret sauce, darling, and you’re about to serve it all year long! ❄️💅
