GETTING THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS TREE // Lifestyle , Decor, how to


THE CHRISTMAS TREE.. 

THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE FOR THE HOLIDAYS.


.

A BEAUTIFUL FRESH CUT TREE IS REALLY SPECIAL, FIRST FOR THE SMELL - LIKE HAVING THE OUTDOORS IN  YOUR HOME.

I CAN RECALL AS KID GOING OUT TO FIND THE SPECIAL TREE AND SETTING UP  WITH LIGHTS AND ICICLES WAS SO EXCITING. BUT MOM WAS NOT SO EXCITED AFTER THE NEEDLES CAME OFF AND LEFT A MESS OR THE CAT WOULD JUMP ON IT TO GRAB THE HANGING DECORATIONS .  YES SOME FUNNY MEMORIES.

SO FINDING A TREE AND KEEPING IT FRESH AND BEAUTIFUL THROUGHOUT THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS THE CHALLENGE.







BIG  OR SMALL  SUCH A WONDERFUL THING TO ENJOY OVER THE HOLIDAYS!!







TIPS TO HELP YOU FIND 
THE PERFECT FRESH TREE & LASTING LONGER-




  1. THE NEEDLES DO NOT BREAK IF BENT.
  2. UNDER THE BARK  IT SHOULD BE WHITE GREEN, NOT BROWNISH
  3. STORING THE TREE IS MOST IMPORTANT , KEEP IT COOL AND MOIST. STORE OUTSIDE TILL TIME TO SET UP.
  4. KEEP THE NETTING ON IT- THIS HELPS IT KEEP MOISTURE IN NEEDLES SO THEY DONT DRY OUT. PREVENTS EVAPORATION.
  5. KEEP OUTSIDE IN TUB OF WATER, COVER SO NOT EXPOSED TO SUN.
  6. WATERING. A 2 M/6 FT TREE NEEDS 2-4 LITERS WATER DAILY.

SO NOW WE CAN ALL HEAD OUT AND FIND THAT PERFECT TREE.

Pockets please!!/ fashion

  Well as the title says…. Pocket s please!  This week has been a very painful week. I recently injured my knee badly. Not able to move stand or walk. When finally bit better I finally  managed to move . I needed something to wear that I could put my phone in , glasses medicine in. Any dress I thought I could use didn’t have pockets for anything.  Why???  When I think back there usually  were pocket inserts nicely sewn  on inside of slacks or dresses.  Now you rarely find that .  I guess it’s a cost saving , less material needed and no extra time used sewing a pockrr er r in.  Maybe it’s to give an outfit a more neat look, no bulging pockets.   Meanwhile mens wear there are always pockets.  Do you like outfit with pockets?

For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
