Hey you guys!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎶. So, I'm sharing a few tips on how to fill your home with the holiday spirit. 1. Holiday Scents An easy way to prep your home for the holidays is to incorporate traditional holiday fragrances, Scented candles and Essential Oil diffusers are a quick way to fill the room with Christmas cheer. Another way to introduce holiday smells is with scented hand wash. Get a refreshing whiff of peppermint or pine every time you wash your hands. If you're not into traditional holiday smells, simply switching up the scents around your home will make for a pleasant surprise. I've switched from linen breeze to sandalwood and it has been quite the treat. 2. Merry & Light Lighting is a perfect way to set the mood for the holidays. Candles add a beautiful glow to any space (try going battery operated for added safety). String lights aren't just for decorating the tree. Add them around your home for a whimsical flair. Once the sun goes down, power up the lights, and relax. 3. Cozy Up With temperatures dropping, it's time to break out the faux fur and chunky, knit, throw blankets. Try adding them to your living room, bedrooms, and any other areas you like to get cozy in. Not only are they practical, they add warmth and texture to your space. Another way to get cozy this holiday season is with loungewear. Get out your polar fleece, and thermal knits, in your favorite holiday prints. Finish the look with some fluffy house slippers to stay cute, and cozy throughout the season. 4. Sounds of The Season In addition to your favorite holiday playlist, try introducing some natural sounds into the mix. Nothing says Christmas like the sound of a crackling fire. If you don't have a fireplace, turn your TV into one (via YouTube). I've linked some of my favorites below. Blizzards are also right in line with the season. I've linked some of those as well.

Swap the sweets in your candy dish with some peppermint bark or candy canes. Also, try adding some holiday themed syrups and creamers to your coffee bar, to create the perfect holiday beverage. This tip is not only festive, but, delicious too. I hope these tips get you right into the spirit of the holidays☺️ Video by Pavel Danilyuk from Pexels Hey guys,
Have you started prepping your Easter tablescapes yet? I started with a gorgeous color palette, perfect for spring. After planning out my florals and linens, I realized something was missing... Check out these awesome items I found at my local Dollar Tree, to help bring my springtime brunch to life. While new wedding trends have always come and gone. We saw some drastic changes happen in 2020. Here are some of our favorite trends you'll be sure to see in 2021.
1. Covid-19 Safety Precautions From color coded safety masks, to hand sanitizing stations, Covid safety is at the forefront of wedding ceremonies. While we hate dealing with this Coronavirus as much as the next guy. We love to see couples celebrate their love while keeping everyone safe. On the bright side, now you won't have to explain why entitled aunt Karen isn't allowed to sit at the main table. Just blame it on social distancing #sixfeetplease. 2. Smaller Ceremonies Micro Weddings aren't going anywhere. Vaccine, or not, many couples are still opting for a more intimate affair. Whether hosting a small group at their residence or making reservations at their favorite restaurant, many are choosing to go small. 3. Live Entertainment While this isn't a new trend, there has definitely been an influx in live entertainment at weddings. Since dance floors are prohibited in many instances, couples have been hiring live bands to entertain their seated guests. And honestly, who doesn't love live music? 4. Conscious Weddings Another oldie, but definitely good! This trend takes place behind the scenes. Couples who are committed to social change have made it their mission to support some of society's most marginalized groups. Whether it's buying black, shopping small, or working with women. We love to see couples putting their money where their mouths are. 5. Live Streaming With social distancing orders still in full effect. More couples have been entertaining the idea of having virtual wedding guests. Many platforms have integrated live streaming into their programs, to simplify this process. With all the chaos and confusion constantly bombarding us, we love the idea of sharing classic love stories in this modern way. Will you be incorporating any of these trends in your wedding? Let us know in the comment section. Hello Loves! Today we're closing out the Valentine's Day blog with this charming table for two.

Hello Loves! Day 2 of our V-Day blog is all about celebrating with friends. So let's jump right into this gathering of the girls. I tend to use a bold color palette when designing for my gals. The vibrant decor matches their fun personalities. So don't be shy when it comes to dressing the space for your compadres. What's a party without a gift bag? Make your squad feel extra special with a take-away they'll treasure long after the party. Whether a motivational memento or a small indulgence, always give your guests something to remember the night. You know I saved the best for last. No matter how elegant the setting, I always prepare comfort food for my girls! There's something about undoing the top button on your jeans and licking barbecue sauce off your fingers that says I feel at home. So keep it casual and relaxed with some amazing homestyle style dishes. I hope you're enjoying the ideas so far.
