Must haves for you and your home

We picked up a few goodies to welcome Fall.

At first glance it looks like a can of pure maple, but it is hand-poured 100% organic soy-wax with the soothing scent of maple. As the natural wood wick burns it sounds like a wood-burning fire.

Accent Furniture

Accent furniture is a piece of furniture that stands out because it complements a room’s decor. The term comes from a meaning of the word accent which means to heighten, stress, or emphasis.

To emphasis and to underline, color, and style, accent pieces in home decorating are fun and easy to use. We use them to
1- add a seasonal theme
2- splash of color
3- remind us of our travel excursions
This fall we see bulky, woven fabrics with shimmer and fur.

Resilience

In our pursuit of happiness, throughout our lives,  we face many ups and downs.  We experience joy and God forbid misery.  As we go through turbulent times, what keeps us buoyant is, our traits and virtues.  Among all virtues, resiliency gives us the ability to bounce back.  We can naturally be resilient, but what if we learn to be more resilient and develop habits and life practices that not only help us to survive but to come back stronger and better than before.  Maybe the essence of happiness is to be more resilient because unlike a simple, fairy tale like happiness, resiliency takes into the account the certainty of tough times and gives us the strength to endure and recover.

We are thinking of all the people who are facing hurricane Irma and recovering from Harvey. Our thoughts and prayers are with them all.  We wish them resiliency.
