This week I have decided that it would be a good time to decorate Jingle and get the decorations ready for this years winter celebrations season. I wanted to keep it simple and also nice, so I just picked two lovely colors: golden and blue and get it all ready, get my Jingle ready to party this winter season. I put some lights as well but I haven`t really been turning them on so often, but they still look nice and pretty. The weather has been pretty nice lately, but still, as the ladies from the flower store, the place that I got Jingle, adviced me, I did get Jingle ready for colder times by wrapping around the pot so that the soil does not get frozen or something like that. I have also been extra careful to water him when the weather is fine so that the water does not freeze the soil either. So far, I would say that my Christmas tree is doing really well and its being taken care of. Hopefully things are going to be fine in the next couple of weeks as well and as I get to learn more and more things about taking care of apartment plants I can also take better care of Jingle and the other beautiful small trees that I got this month and that I am going to share with you in a future post. Taking care of living plants is really nice and as I get to learn more and more I am happier and happier. I really wanted to get some plants for the balcony and now I am super excited of the ones that I got so far, including Jingle, of course. Amazing things are happening so far. I am just loving this experience.

I know that especially at this time of the year, many trees are being cut down in order to be sold as Christmas trees, but I have also noticed that during the last couple of years more and more people and sellers are getting interested in the trees being sold in pots, which is really nice for everyone. Its such a nice feeling to get a tree that is alive and that with proper care and nourishment will remain alive after the holiday season. This time of the year is a great time to be starting to make more and more conscious and sustainable choices and some of them could be as simple as choosing a Christmas tree that you can still keep or plant after the holidays, its all about making a choice. There are always lots of areas where we can start implementing conscious and sustainable choices, we can also for example reuse Christmas decorations and even get some Eco friendly ones. We can chose to make conscious eating and being choices and we can definitely implement them for holiday season related topics as well as for any themes in general. We might not be able to do it all at once, but making healthy and fulfilling choices on a day to day basis is a habit just like any other habit and it requires repetition in order to became second nature, but as soon as our bodies and our minds get used to the new habit, then everything unfolds naturally, in a healthy, balanced way.  Life is made to be lived with a sense of purpose and meaning, and by practicing conscious living and being we are bringing meaning and purpose into our lives, therefore redefining our sense of health and well being in general and living a happy, healthy and fulfilling life as a result.
