MERRY CHRISTMAS 2015

Just wanted to quickly check in and wish you all a very Merry Christmas! This year I decided to switch to a blue, white, and silver theme for the holidays (see my DIY decorations here and here). Christmas is the perfect time for me to reflect, count my blessing, and show my appreciation to the people around me and supporting me with everything I do. Although I feel like this year did not feel like Christmas at all. Mainly because Toronto hasn't seen any snow yet! Well.. we did for like five seconds. Not having a white Christmas is just like any other holiday. I guess snow makes it feel very special. Other than that, not complaining though as I am loving this mild weather very much. Enjoy the rest of the holidays!

It's TEN DAYS before Christmas.. Have you finished decorating for the holidays yet? Fear not. This week I will be showing you three easy Christmas decor ideas you can create yourself! There's not a lot of materials needed so you'll be done in no time. Today's DIY is a Lighted Burlap Garland. Very simple and easy to make. I finished mine within two episodes of 2 Broke Girls. That's less than an hour! ;)

Feeling the Holiday Spirit

Right before the last weekend of November, I headed to the dollar store and Walmart to buy some Christmas-themed bits and pieces. Most people prefer putting up the Christmas decorations in December or after Thanksgiving but I wanted to start decorating early before my schedule gets too hectic due to the holiday season. I've yet to finish the walls of the apartment so here's a preview of some of the stuff I've done. My family has always had red and gold themed tree. This year, I kind of "bent the tradition" and decided to have a silver motif Christmas tree. I added blues and pinks as well. So glad it turned out to be pretty good! Although the rest of the place has red and gold decorations.
