Follow the tips below to get a good impression with your boo parents and siblings while you're still your amazing self.
- Resist to stir

4. Kill Em "with kindness
If a relative does not seem to like you right away, go on a charm offensive to wake them up. It's easy to get scared of aunt negative Nancy who gives you the evil eye but convince her that her cherry pie is best you have ever tasted and she can only offer you her recipe.
