Homemade Holiday

If anyone knows me well enough, they know I despise the upcoming holiday season. I'm not a religious person, so that part of Christmas is just lost on me. I'm also not a fan of the constant bombardment of "Buy this! Buy that!" from the numerous advertisements.

I want to stay away from the consumerism of the holiday season, so unless I've bought the gift already, everything will be homemade or upcycled. J and I try to live very minimally and simply and I think this is a good way to continue to live by this principle.

I enjoy making gifts for others rather than just buying an already made gift from the store. I'd also rather get homemade or upcycled gifts because it shows the person took the time to think of me and put their own love into a gift.

You can't get that with a store bought perfume set.
