Creating a Festive Holiday Home

December 19, 2012

I’m always looking for fun ways to decorate my home for the holidays.  I like to decorate early (Thanksgiving Day) so that I get to have the most time to enjoy and show off what I’ve done in my home.  I usually add a few extra decorations throughout the entire holiday season.  Do you ever just walk by your creations and stop to stare at them, so proud that you made them yourself?  I admit that I definitely do this.  It just makes me happy.

I usually scour the internet, blogs and YouTube videos for ideas.  This year I added the newer social media site of Pinterest to get some inspiration as well.  The video below is one that I watched from Sears on YouTube.  It’s my inspiration for the centerpieces I’m currently creating for my dining room table.  They are wreaths that are so easy to make using all natural elements to create a beautiful and elegant setting.  You could make these festive, elegant or casual and put them on your table or buffet.  You can even have your kids help with these.  I plan to add citrus fruits, cinnamon, and pomegranates to mine.  I will only have them out for a few days so that I can eat the fruit after we take the decorations down.

This video also demonstrates some easy to make appetizers for your holiday meal.  You can shop at Sears or online for an assortment of holiday decorations.   They have additional videos with some great  ideas for both the inside and the outside of your home.  Get inspired!

Have you finished all of your decorating yet?

Are you planning to make any interesting centerpieces for your holiday table or buffet this year?  

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I used this membership service to pick out a handbag bag to borrow for the month. They have bags to borrow from luxury brands like Chanel, YSL, Hermes, Fendi, Dior and so many more! It’s a fun way to carry a gorgeous bag without the commitment of owning it.

I’m over here with no regrets on breaking all the I’m over here with no regrets on breaking all the old fashioned rules of “no long hair” nor “dark hair” on a mature woman.😎

It was fun doing highlights in my hair for a little while, but I was ready to get back to my roots. I’m thrilled with my summer hair because it looks so much healthier.🤩

I always go with what I like, not what society dictates when it comes to clothes, makeup, hairstyles and more because I think we should all do what makes us feel happy and confident in ourselves.

Are you a rule breaker too?😉
Summer mornings call for light layers and these pi Summer mornings call for light layers and these pieces answered the calling perfectly!

There’s just something about a flowy caftan dress There’s just something about a flowy caftan dress that instantly makes me feel chic, comfortable, and vacation-ready. ☀️🌴 

I’ll be packing this beautiful tropical vacation dress for Mexico next week because it’s the perfect resort wear piece for everything from a casual daytime stroll to dinner under the stars. Lightweight, effortless, and easy to style, it’s exactly the kind of outfit I reach for when I want to look polished without sacrificing comfort.

Are you team caftan when you travel? ✈️

I used mostly “new to me” makeup products today and I didn’t use a single makeup brush for this fresh-faced, natural makeup look.

Curious about any of these products from a variety of brands? Let me know!
