Happy Christmas to all of you observing it & a very, very happy holidays to those of you who aren’t. The holidays make December one of my favorite months, especially because Christmas is the perfect excuse for my entire family & close friends to gather around over a huge feast & partake in gift-giving. Seeing my huge family during the holidays makes the day so enjoyable & something I look forward to every year. The food, the company, the drinks, the scents, the desserts, & the fun, there’s so much sensory overload, how can you not be overwhelmed with joy? Speaking of senses, did you know that scent is one of our 5 senses that is closely tied with memory? I’m sure most of you already know that, so let’s drive this point even further: Holiday Diffusers. Make your home smell exactly like the happy holidays with essential oils, vodka (or rubbing alcohol), a glass bottle, & diffuser reeds.
Gift Ideas
Not too long ago, Josh & I went to the Long Beach Antique Market where I purchased a bunch of succulents to make terrariums. Since the last time I made Beach Themed Terrariums, I still had a large brown paper bag full of supplies needed to make more terrariums. All I really needed was soil, salt crystals, & activated carbon & I was ready to plant!
Putting together a terrarium is very simple as is taking care of them. They’re really low maintenance–unlike a needy significant other–& require little water & a good amount of sunlight. If you’re interested in making your own terrarium, but you don’t know where to start check out my tutorial here. If you’re interested in finding a significant other that relies only on sunlight, water, & love, I’d suggest you try harvesting a PlantSim. They’re not real so, guess you have to deal with human needs like the rest of us!
