READY SET GO... TIME TO DECORATE

I am sure many of you are Christmas addicts, love to light the candles, hang the stockings, setup the tree fill the place with Christmas decorations. I am one who loves to get the things up a little early, so I can sit and enjoy it in the evenings . The lights all aglow, the sparkle of the shiny ornaments that are so dazzling. Nothing is more special and memorable as that.

I can remember as a kid the excitement of going to get a tree at the tree lots. Later we had a large artificial one, a real pain to set up. My mom bought it , but never could manage to put it together- it was the sort with the coloured tips that you had to place into the corresponding hole.. grr such a pain.

When I moved from home i got one that you simply open up like an umbrella, such a breeze simple and easy. But one winter we did head out to the woods to cut our own tree, for my son. He was so proud when he dragged it out. His own little tree.

Yes such happy memories! And now i am living halfway around the world , and doing much the same things. Decorating , baking, making a special christmas dinner.

I started to make some natural decorations for outdoors , a pot filled with evergreens, branches some ornaments , a mini lantern to hold a candle. Then tied up some silver bows, made from coffee liners on the metal shelf. So it is starting to get the Christmassy feel.

What are some of the things you do or make to give your space that Christmassy feel?

Some simple cozy Decorating ideas to try for Christmas.

An INVITING SPOT

A bit of plaid goes a long way. Love this cozy rustic look, mini trees, wreath, pillow.

Flying high // travel

B Time to Fly Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience. So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada . And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines. I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned and I won’t be booking any trips with them! Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs that should be included , NOT an extra expense. Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees then read this report via BBC. Truthfully people need to tell these companies NO . Even a handbag is next to the list. They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

Sunny Days Eyewear//fashion , designer eyewear

T HE RIGHT ONEs Summer and the sun is something we all look forward to. Getting outside enjoying the sunshine but most important is to to protect your eyes! I have been looking for a new pair of sunglasses. Thinking I might get a pair of design ones, Chanel , Gucci ?? Well more importantly is to get a pair with a higher UV number . Apparently there is no difference from a designer pair or a pair from any shop . Other than the price.style or quality. Looking at and trying sunglasses checking fit is important . The style look and what suits you are all things to consider . The UV protection is what really matters also something I didn’t know was the side part of thin matters also. Why? If to thin UV rays can enter and effect your eyes. So the sides of sun glasse is something else to consider . Enjoy the sunshine ☀️
