I love the holidays! My 'holiday season' starts October 1 with Halloween decorations and continues through the New Year. Between marking all the upcoming events on my calendar, decorating my bombshell abode (first for Halloween, then Thanksgiving, and the grand finale- Christmas!), and just enjoying the rush, I can't get enough!
Tonight my house smells like the ultimate Holiday Haven because I made a big batch of chocolate chip cookies and I have a few decorative arrangements filled with cinnamon scented pine cones! The aroma combination is fabulous. I cannot stop inhaling!
Not all bombshells are domestic, but a beautiful, cozy, and stylish home-base is essential to the bombshell lifestyle.
The easiest way to make your place smell like the holidays? Fill any fabulous bowl or tray (a silver cocktail tray would be perfect) you have on hand with scented pine cones. I picked up a generous bag of them at my local grocer for less than $3. I filled a little cornucopia-shaped basket with them (I love the kitsch factor of a cornucopia at Thanksgiving!) on my mantel, and put some on a tray in my entry way. Guests get a wiff upon entering, and then another as they make their way into the living room.
No domestic skills needed to put out pine cones. Now, if you want the added deliciousness of smelling fresh-baked cookies...you may have to turn on the oven.
