Nothing beats the smell of christmas

There is something about the smell of Christmas that's like no other. Every year I always comment about how excited I am for the smell of the Christmas tree or the freshly baked cookies I've got going in the oven. By far though, one of my favourites is mulled wine!
Mulled wine is something I have never actually made myself, but have always enjoyed drinking! When I was searching for a recipe, there were so many variations that I couldn't choose between them, so I decided to mash a few together for the perfect recipe! 

Simple Christmas decorations

Here we are at day three of our DIY gift series!

Today we're taking simple clear ornaments and filling them with  loose glitter. I got the idea from the H&M window display and couldn't help but think we could make these ourselves!

Wooden Mod Podge Frames

Welcome to day two of our DIY gift series!
One of the best crafting materials ever made is Mod Podge glue. If you have no clue what I'm talking about a) you're missing out, and b) I'm questioning your life choices pretty heavily. Today we're talking DIY Mod Podge wooden frames, it doesn't get much better than that! These frames have got to be one of the easiest and most personal DIY gifts out there, and one that I resort to year round. All you're going to need is a wooden frame, Mod Podge, a paint brush and old magazines. So simple!

Cake In a Jar

Welcome to the Do It Yourself Gift Series!

I'm just going to throw this out there and say Pam & I are obsessed with crafting. Give us some glue (preferably glitter), scissors and paper and we are so content. For me, I love nothing more than finishing a project I've been working on and immediately sending a picture of it to Pam to show her how pleased I am with myself and how fabulous...or unfortunate (yes, this happens on a regular basis) it's turned out. For the next four days, we are going to be posting our favourite DIY gifts for you, along with super easy how-to steps so you can become just as craft obsessed as we are!

Gift Guide for the Guys

I used to think buying gifts for the guys in my life was literally impossible. I never knew what they'd appreciate, or even what they'd wanted! The past few years though, I've really started to think about it and honestly, guys love familiar things. They love opening up a package of their favourite socks, or boxers that they can't live with out. 

Here are our Top 10 familiar gifts for guys!


Gift Guide: For the girl who makes everything from scratch

This guide is directed at that girl you know who is constantly making things with her hands whether it's baked goods in the kitchen, a knitted scarf, an abstract painting, or beautiful handmade pottery. Regardless, it's always nice to receive something beautifully handmade or something to help wind down after a stressful day at work!

Gift Guide for the Gals

Welcome to our second gift guide of the season! 

Finding the perfect gift for the gals in your life can definitely be an overwhelming task. What do they need? What do they want? What do they already have? These are things I ask myself on a daily basis when trying to buy gifts for my sisters and close girlfriends! Pam and I decided this year we wanted to ask ourselves, what would I love to unwrap this holiday season

Here are our top 10 gifts we know every gal will love!



LUSH haul gift guide

Welcome to our first gift guide of the season! 

Now, on the whole, I'd say Pam and I are pretty darn good gift-givers. We always buy the gifts everyone wants but will never actually buy for themselves. So naturally, nothing gets us more excited for the holidays than being able to give someone the absolute perfect gift!

If you're not too sure where to start with the whole "perfect gift-giving," begin with something simple you know everyone loves- bath and body products! LUSH is one of our go-to shops when looking for those smaller but meaningful gifts! Not only are all  LUSH products handmade with fresh ingredients, but they are against all animal testing and not to mention, they all smell incredible.
  
Here are our top 6 most loved LUSH products for both the guys and gals!
