Time to put up or shut up!
Some of my favourite holiday memories & diffuser blends to get you in the spirit
As a kid, Christmas was always a big deal in our house. My parents went out of their way to make Christmas special for us every year. I still remember laying in my bed as a little girl waiting for Santa’s arrival. Would I hear him come into the house? Maybe I could stay awake…

I’ve been on a binge!
I have been binge watching This is Us, so please forgive me for being kind of sappy. I actually avoided watching the show because I knew it was an emotional family drama and I don’t really need to listen or watch somebody else’s family drama, yet here I am watching it and now I am…
