Day 24 | Set The Table
With your crockery, your current set, doesn’t matter how many years you’ve had it, set you table, enhance your centre piece, decide what serving plates you are going to use on the day, serving spoons, wine glasses etc and set your table so it is one less thing to think about. And whilst you’re at…

Day 23 | Home Scents
Divide your home into zones and pick a scent for each zone, scents that work well with each other to create a wonderland of scents as people travel through your home, each room should tell its own story and have its own secrets. These are the little things with which to make our homes a…

Day 22 | Season Your Chicken
It is as simple as that, come up with your own mixture and season your bird two days before you will cook.

Day 18 – Charity

Day 17 | The Christmas Windows – Liberty
I wanted commitment with Liberty, I really did especially because they went for the Wicked theme and they could only make it maybe not even half way there. I didn’t love it. I didn’t much like it. The movie is the biggest thing in cinema this season and you have window dedicated to it but…

Day 16 – DECLUTTER
Declutter your home, sort through things… I mean this should’ve started at the beginning of the month in anyways but now is as good a time as any to begin. Be brutal, be honest, I know, I know, I say this as a person deep into maximalism when it comes to a home and who…
