🎄 "How Like a Winter" with Peppermint Breeze 🌬️

December is here, and with it comes our color of the month: Peppermint Breeze—a crisp, refreshing hue that feels as invigorating as a frosty winter morning ❄️. It’s the perfect shade to pair with the poignant words of William Shakespeare from Sonnet 97: “How like a winter hath my absence been, from thee the pleasure of the fleeting year!” 🍃

Shakespeare’s sonnet reflects on absence, comparing it to the desolate chill of winter, a time when the vibrancy of life feels distant. Similarly, Peppermint Breeze embodies the paradox of winter—cool yet revitalizing, serene yet full of energy, reminding us that even in the depths of absence or cold, beauty persists ✨.

This December, let Peppermint Breeze inspire your spaces and moments. Use it to add a touch of frosty elegance to your decor, from cozy blankets and shimmering ornaments 🎄 to table settings that evoke the crisp freshness of winter air 🌲. Pair it with warm metallics like gold or rose gold for a balanced look, or with deep greens for a classic seasonal palette.

As we reflect on the fleeting nature of the year, let’s find comfort in the renewing spirit of winter. Peppermint Breeze reminds us to embrace the season’s stillness while anticipating the return of warmth and light 🌞.

✨❄️ Winter Solstice: A Time to Pause and Beg

✨❄️ Winter Solstice: A Time to Pause and Begin ❄️✨

Today marks the first day of winter—the solstice, where we experience the longest night of the year and the stillness of the sun at its southernmost point. This is a day of transition, reflection, and renewal, perfectly encapsulated by Margaret Atwood’s beautiful words:

"This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year's threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath."

In this quiet moment of the year, the world invites us to pause. The solstice is not just the start of winter; it’s a symbolic gateway where we let go of the past year and open ourselves to the possibilities of the future. 🌌

✨ Take a moment today to breathe deeply, reflect on the beauty of stillness, and embrace this new season with warmth and intention.

🌟 What does the solstice symbolize for you? Share your thoughts below and let’s celebrate this magical turning point together. ❄️

🌲🍂My November Guest Robert Frost 🌲🍂 My

🌲🍂My November Guest
Robert Frost 🌲🍂
My Sorrow, when she’s here with me,
Thinks these dark days of autumn rain
Are beautiful as days can be;
She loves the bare, the withered tree;
She walks the sodden pasture lane.

Her pleasure will not let me stay.

She talks and I am fain to list:
She’s glad the birds are gone away,
She’s glad her simple worsted grady
Is silver now with clinging mist.

The desolate, deserted trees,
The faded earth, the heavy sky,
The beauties she so ryly sees,
She thinks I have no eye for these,
And vexes me for reason why.

Not yesterday I learned to know
The love of bare November days
Before the coming of the snow,
But it were vain to tell he so,
And they are better for her praise." 🌲🍂. 🌲🍂🌲🍂🌲🍂 For this post, we’re diving into Robert Frost's evocative poem My November Guest — a piece that captures the beauty in the quiet melancholy of late autumn. Frost personifies “Sorrow” as a companion who finds joy in the bleakness of November, seeing beauty in bare trees 🌲🌲, misty skies 🌫️, and the hushed absence of birds 🕊️. Through "My Sorrow," Frost explores how we come to appreciate the subtle, understated moments of the season that we might otherwise overlook.

The poem suggests that November, often seen as somber, holds its own beauty for those who can see it through a lens of reflection and acceptance. The bare landscapes 🌲🍂 and muted tones become symbols of quiet introspection, a time to find peace with the cycle of letting go.

As Frost writes, “The love of bare November days… and they are better for her praise,” he reminds us that even in stillness and simplicity, there is a profound beauty waiting to be seen. This November, embrace the quiet, chilly days for all their hidden charm. 🍃🌲🍁
