Oh, how I love Christmas time! Mostly because of my very fond memories of growing up in a family where traditions matter. But also because of the unlimited opportunities to get creative with the festivities! My every-day style is very clean, modern and uncluttered. Yet, in years past, I somehow always opted for very ornate, rich and traditional Christmas decorations.
This year...
I wondered how to make my Christmas decorations and entertainment more aligned with the rest of my year preferences. At first, a modern, yet warm and cozy Christmas sounded like an oxymoron. But then I found these lovely treasures! I thought the best way of staying warm was to utilize sweet golden colors and contrast those with shiny silver tones. The added festive feel of clear glass gives a touch of glamour without going over-board!
I can already feel the excitement building!

A few months back, a co-worker of mine convinced me to join my company's Spartan Race team. He didn't talk it up much: he mentioned it's a long-ish run with a few fun obstacles. You know, no big deal. Something someone who runs as much as me should complete more than easily (read, you don't really need to train for it). Ha ha ha.
