Christmas Countdown
Hello my friends!It's the final week of Christmas countdownand here at my house it all seems to be going way too fast!
So I thought I'd pop in here andshare some of my favoriteholiday styling!
I just love this potpourri recipeit's an instant way to put holiday in the air!
It's also a quick way to bring back cozy Christmas feelings of yesteryear!Christmas Countdown
I love to garnish my plants with a quick dose of finishing holiday color.
Last year it was all red glass ballsthis year I have gone more naturalandfinished all my plants with red apples!

But my very favorite holiday tip this yearis to remember
"life (or the holiday) doesn't have to be perfectto be wonderful!
With so much pressure coming to  do up the holidayssometimeswe can forget the holidays can be a double edged sword for many of us.What our holidays look like changejust as life and families do.
It's so important to celebrate the good that we do have.

So I am here to remind us allthat grace and self compassionare also  important aspects of a loving memorable holiday.
To truly give to otherswe need to make sure we first respect our own needsWe nourish others best from the  overflow of our own heart.

It is my wish for us allthat we can slow down and truly savor the small moments of the holidays …because in the endthey are always the most important memories.

Wishing you all the most wonderful soulful holidaysno matter where in the world you are….
or what holidays speak to your heart.
I send you love.

As always my dear friends
I wish you love and joyas you style your lifeandfind your holiday meaning.
