Our Basic Ingredients


...to a Merry Christmas: Our Advent Calendar

I adore Christmas; it is one of my absolute favourite times of the year! A time of utter bliss & serenity. I love wrapping up in winter garms, I love how such a season can totally ignite your inner child and I love seeing smiles all around me. In saying that, every year I ensure to get an Advent Calendar (may I enclose that I am of my late twenties, haha). As much as it aids my excitement, it is also my safety net…that I never forget.
You see, amidst the things that we do on a daily basis, we unwillingly tend to forget many things. As December nears, for some, we end up accommodating so much in our everyday lives that there is hardly much time to get excited about the festive season and its real reason for celebration. Instead, it ends up becoming a season of stress and commotion; finding last minute presents and getting fed up with the mad crowds who are there for the same purpose and probably thinking the same thing.
This year, I wanted to have an Advent Calendar with a difference. It’s been such a wonderful year, nevertheless, much of it has been mystified and engrossed within a busy lifestyle that there hasn’t been a real moment to appreciate so many things to its fullest matter. So, my fiancĂ© and I have created a calendar suited to us, to celebrate the days in anticipation to Christmas. Emphasizing the act of love and sharing, the act of learning and giving and not forgetting… to have FUN!
We are looking forward to welcoming this December and hopefully sharing those moments with you!
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
