Fresh Christmas Mantel Decorating Ideas

Make Your Fireplace Pop This Holiday Season

Holiday Fireplace Mantel Decor

This Post is in Partnership with World Market. Opinions are 100% My Own. I've always believed that fireplaces are the main focal point of the home when it comes to the holidays -- I mean that's where Santa arrives with his sack full of presents, right?! This year, I wanted to create a unique setting around the fireplace, so I opted to save the traditional red stockings for next year. If you follow along on my Instagram, you know that I love simplicity, which carried over to my holiday decor. Our new home has a variety of citrus trees in the backyard (kumquat, grapefruit and lemon trees) so I wanted to incorporate these elements into my design. I love all of the fresh wreaths and garland that World Market has to offer. I used their Magnolia…

An Easy DIY to Jazz Up Your Cocktails

Cocktail Stirrers

Since the holidays are rapidly approaching, I've partnered with the Vine to share fun DIY ways to make your cocktails even more festive this holiday season! After choosing the cocktails that I want to serve, I focus on incorporating natural elements. I draw inspiration from my backyard, including flowers, rosemary, and even oyster shells! After selecting elements of style to add to the cocktails, I move on to the stirrers. (It's a great idea to always have plastic stirrers on hand. I prefer stirrers that match the size of the glass I'm using, so when I find the appropriate stirrer, I order them in bulk!) Decorating a stirrer is relatively easy if you have the right tools.
