How to Practice Gratitude at Christmas

December 5, 2020January 12, 2021by Olivia26 Comments

I’m not sure what it is about the Christmas season, but I always feel a sense of gratitude. Being grateful for health, family and the many other blessings we have in life. We should of course be thankful for everyday of our lives and make the most of them all year round. But something about Christmas brings out the best of people. Maybe it’s the reason for the season, maybe its because Christmas is about Jesus and the love he showed when he died for us. I like to think thats why people start being kinder and more loving to one another.

On the flip side, Christmas can be hard for some people. It can be tough as Christmas time is about family and love, and some people don’t have that. For todays Blogmas post I thought we could talk about how we can be more grateful this Christmas, and how we can be truly thankful for the life we are living.

15 Christmas Acts of Kindness Ideas

December 4, 2020November 21, 2023by OliviaLeave a Comment

As it’s the season of love and giving, I thought it was only right to include a random acts of kindness post for the Holiday season. I believe we should be good, kind people all year round but I know there are a-lot of people who need extra love and support this time of year.
The holiday season can be a really tough time for some people who may not have loved ones to spend it with, or they might not be able to financially afford to celebrate Christmas.

I think the real meaning of Christmas has been forgotten by society, and we need to be reminded what the real reason we celebrate is for. it should be about the gifts and who has a more expensive gift than someone else. It’s about Jesus, family and spreading joy. And thats why I decided to do this post and I hope you will be able to check some of these acts of kindness from this list this year.

December 4, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia21 Comments

Every winter my skin seems to go into melt down, and my skincare routine usually stops because I get too lazy to do it. It’s like my body can’t cope with the cold weather, and thats one of many reasons why I am convinced I was born in the wrong country. I need sun! The Winter months can be hard on our bodies and it can be hard for us to transition into a new, colder season (unless you live on the Southern Hemisphere that is).

Its so important to look after our bodies and our skin. It’s literally the skin we live in, we should be protecting it and making sure its looked after, just like the rest of our body. Today I’ll be sharing some Winter skincare tips that we should be following all throughout the colder seasons, let’s get started!

How to Pick the Perfect Christmas Decor

December 2, 2020November 21, 2023by OliviaLeave a Comment

With everybody starting to decorate for Christmas I thought I’d kick off Blogmas with a post on how to decorate your home for Christmas. I always love seeing other peoples Christmas decor and I always want to know where they get everything from. Decorating for Christmas is probably my favourite part of it all, its the lights, the tinsel and the ornaments. It just makes that time of year so exciting.

I think this year Christmas is even more important because we haven’t had anything else to look forward to this year. 2020 has had a great impact on our mental health and I think we need Christmas as a welcomed distraction. Which is another reason why I decided to do Blogmas.

You’ve probably faced your fair share of difficult situations in 2020, perhaps more than any other year. It’s been a tough time for alot of us, not being able to see loved ones, some facing job loss or pay cuts, people around us getting sick, just to name a few. It can be hard to not react to different things that come our way in life, but one thing I try my best to do is stay calm.

It can be really easy to get angry and overwhelmed when we find ourselves in those situations. But today I’m sharing some tips on how we can be better at staying calm in difficult situations.
