Covid 19 has most of the planet home bound and things that were once routine have now become luxuries. People are working from home and staying indoors trying to ‘flatten the curve’. The disease spreads rapidly so people are trying to
I love Christmas Trees! Always have and always will. There is something about the season, the trees and the Hallmark movies that gets me every every time. I’m a Muslim but we have always had Christmas in our house growing up. I know all the carols. I love the feeling of the holidays and family coming home. We started with a simple plant that we used to

Winter is here and the evenings are getting cosy and long. Perfect for catching up on some reading. I’ve always loved the winters and I am sure most of you do too! For me it marks the end of hot days and since the climate where I live is mostly hot the winters are a wonderful break! It’s also the season of festivities – families get together with loved ones…
As you all know by now, the Christmas decorating theme at my place this year is Merry and Bright! I saw some variations of branches with pompoms on them and thought that this would be the perfect DIY for me. It will give me a nice central arrangement for the table.
