    So relaxing, cozy, warm and so many awesome ideas for winter decorations ❤. At 64 I feel like the world is so much different than when I grew up, too fast, everyone always in a hurry and so much negativity. What a blessing to watch your channel and find some much needed relaxation, peace and coziness

    You really made a cozy home for the holidays! I love that you spend time to make your own decoration! Handmade is always prettier and you always come up with creative ideas! I wish I could smell all the essential oils, the cinnamon and the apple cookies! Happy holidays! 🎄

      Thank you so much Iris! Handmade always gives off a different kind of vibe for me, knowing that someone took the time to make it. That makes it extra special :) Happy Holidays 🎄

    Love that you use natural things to decorate. Between the pine branches, cinnamon sticks and orange slices, your home must smell amazing! At first I thought the candles, with the decorated jars, were going to be gifts. They would make such a lovely gift! Then I saw how you placed them in the tray and really liked how that looked. Always enjoy your videos, Merry Christmas! 🎄

    Beautiful decor and cozy homemaking video, thank you!! If you put a jar or other plastic container inside the metal pitcher, then fill it it with water-- instead of the can itself, you'll protect your metal from rusting, in the long run. :)

    What was it that looked grated that you put the oils into ? It ended up in small canning jars. The glass containers that had the dark outline of deer, & tree's was done how ? Why was none of this described in the description area ? All that was there was the cookie recipe. Beautifully filmed & you have a great home. Are you married ? just curious who helps you when you need to move heavy items. loved the cranberries.

      I just melt the soy wax in a double boiler over simmering water, add essential oils, then pour into a glass container with the wick, and let cool. I recommend using all natural products so it'll burn cleaner :)

    For how long did you dry the orange slices? Also on what temperature?....Thank you!

    • @TheSimpleBrunette
      @TheSimpleBrunette  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It took about 4 hrs to dry. The thickness of the slices will affect how fast they dry. I lower the oven rack to a notch below the mid point. Then bake at 180F. After about 2 hours, I flip them. Keep checking on them every 30 mins or so after the initial 2 hours. The thinner slices will dry faster. Whichever ones dry first, just remove them from oven.

      I put them on the lower rack of the oven and baked them at 180F for about 4 hrs, making sure to flip them after 2 hrs. If there are still any moisture left, just let them air dry for a few hours. Hope this helps :)
