How I Decorated My House for Christmas

Blog

Christmas decorations are so much fun and festive! I wanted to share how I decorated my house for Christmas! My style is definitely traditional, classic Christmas. I'm really happy with how they turned out!

This is my first year renting a house. I’ve been looking forward to decorating for Christmas ever since I moved in back in June! I started stocking up on Christmas decorations as soon as my local Walmart put them out on the shelves in September. Normally, I decorate my parents house (which I’ll still do this year), but it was a lot of fun starting from scratch and decorating my own house!

I love seeing posts on other bloggers Christmas decorations, so I wanted to share how I decorated my house for Christmas as well!

I love nice, classic Christmas decorations. Just traditional red, green, silver, and gold. I’m not a huge fan of colored lights. I stuck to all white lights and added little pops of red, silver, and gold throughout.

Christmas Decorations I Used

I got all of my lights, ornaments, garland, and other little fun things to put in the garland at Walmart. Walmart has such cute, affordable decorations. I don’t think I spent any more than $7 on any single piece of decor. My boyfriend gave me his big Christmas Tree and my sister gave me her smaller tree, so I didn’t have to buy those.

I wrapped all of my banisters and railings with garland and lights. I added little glittery accents to the garland to add some color.

On the wall as you go up my staircase, there is a ledge. I decorated it with garland, lights, and red, silver, and gold poinsettia’s. Unfortunately, there’s no outlet to plug in my lights on the way up the stairs. I had to cross the wall with lights to plug them in. It looks a bit tacky in my opinion, but I couldn’t think of a better way to put lights on the ledge.

I topped both of my trees with a poinsettia I found for $0.98 at Walmart. It’s the same poinsettia that I put on the ledge. That was much more affordable than a star to top my trees, and it goes with my theme. I got a little tub of red, white, and silver bulb ornaments, and I found a little box of gold snowflake ornaments. I used the same ornaments for both of my trees. Some people don’t like tinsel, but I do! So, I threw a little tinsel on the tips of the branches for a little sparkle! I’m not a fan of tinsel garland, but I LOVE adding strands of tinsel!

Lastly, I hung the stockings under the mirror I have in my living room. There’s not a fireplace  in my living room, so I just stuck some command hooks on the wall and hung them.

I hope you enjoyed seeing how I decorated my house for Christmas! If you have any suggestions for the ledge light situation, I’d love to hear them! And be sure to check out my last DIY Christmas post.

    I’d recommend battery powered lights for lighting the ledge. Many of them have timers on them now, so you don’t have to worry about turning them on/off every day.

      That’s a really good idea! I’ll have to look for some. I thought about it but I wasn’t sure if they made battery powered outdoor lights.

When you think of a snack, what kind of food do yo When you think of a snack, what kind of food do you think of? One of my girlfriends asked me this morning what some healthy snack options are besides protein bars and I realized, so many people associate snacks with packaged food...quick grab and go things like a bag of potato chips, granola bars (loaded with sugar), snack cakes, fruit snacks, popcorn, etc. 

Snacks don’t have to be junk and snacks can be quick, easy, and made with REAL FOOD! 

Swipe through for some of my favorite snacks!

🥑 Avocado Toast: I use @foodforlifebaking sprouted grains gluten free bread, spread a ripe avocado on it, and top it with some everything bagel seasoning. To pack for work, I pack the avocado separately then spread it over the toast when I’m ready to eat it.

🥜 Rice Cake & Nut Butter: I use @lundbergfarms rice cakes and top it with some peanut butter or almond butter. Sometimes, I even add cacao nibs on top. 

🍇 Yogurt & Fruit: I like the @foragerproject plain cashew yogurt and I add blueberries to it! 

🍌 Banana (or other fruit) & Nut Butter: One of the quickest, go-to snacks for me is peanut butter and banana. It’s sweet, salty, and filling! I use organic, natural peanut butter (the only ingredient should be peanuts). 

🥕 Hummus and Veggies or Crackers (or both): I love the Wegmans red pepper hummus (check the ingredients...the one I like is made with olive oil, the others are made with canola oil 🤢) paired with @marysgonecrackers or organic veggies!

Regenerative Agriculture can pretty much save the Regenerative Agriculture can pretty much save the planet 🌎 

Me and a few of my girlfriends went to a pumpkin patch with a corn maze and the clues through the corn maze were all about regenerative agriculture! 

Regenerative agriculture doesn’t use pesticides or herbicides like roundup which add loads of toxic chemicals into the environment and our food. They don’t till the land which depletes the soil. The soil then turns to dirt which you can’t grow anything in. Dirt also doesn’t absorb water the way soil does which can lead to natural disasters like floods and fires. No monocropping...diversifying your crops produces more food and if you plan accordingly, crops can help other crops grow by protecting them from pests or even too much sunlight! 

Random post for a Sunday night, but visiting a farm that uses regenerative agriculture was inspiring and reminded me why it’s so important and how much work we need to do to fix our food system! 🌾🌽🥦🍅🥕

🌱Today is Health Coach Day!!!🌱 My journey s 🌱Today is Health Coach Day!!!🌱

My journey started about 10 years ago with my skin issues, which turned out to be gut issues manifesting in my skin. 

The gut issues I was having was due to a poor, gluten heavy diet. My body was struggling to properly digest gluten which was causing me sinus issues and headaches on top of my skin problems. 

I cut out gluten, healed my gut, and cured my acne, headaches, sinus problems, and allergies! These problems are all caused by inflammation! Most chronic illnesses are caused my inflammation and if you don’t address the source and just take a pill to mask the symptoms, you will never be cured. 

I’m so thankful for my journey, because it led me to @nutritionschool where I learned how to help others heal themselves and reach their health and wellness goals!
