Draw decorating inspiration from the storybook streets of Charleston, South Carolina, where historic doors are donning their holiday best.

Dad, my older brother and I would select just the right cedar for our Christmas tree. After nailing a one-by-eight board on the bottom, we would place it at the special spot beside the piano. We made our own decorations, except for the 10 large red satin “apples” mother had carefully kept for many years. Our decorations were strips of red and green construction paper (we “borrowed” from school) cut into strips and taped together in alternate colors to make a chain. We popped popcorn and sewed them together with needle and thread; another chain. After wrapping these around the tree, Mom would carefully hang the satin apples, and then came the icicles, small strips of silver paper that was thrown all over the tree. Oh, it was beautiful!

The ultimate gift for the woman who loves a good soak in the tub. Featuring tonka and lavender, lilac, lemon, bergamot, mint jasmine and orange. Products include bubble bars, bath bombs and bath melts to make bathtime even more perfect. 

Fixed the awkward animation when the Archer gets off from a running horse without equipping a main weapon.

If you aren’t sure whether something can be recycled, you can check Hennepin County’s website at https://www.hennepin.us/green-disposal-guide .The website has a searchable list to make it easy to find out whether you can toss it in your curbside bin, if the item is accepted at a drop-off facility or if you should just throw it in the garbage can.

Comfortable, super-soft and super-stylish, the Edie jumper has relaxed dropped shoulders and a chunky rolled neckline for a laid-back look. With a Fair Isle pattern on a grey background it’s super easy to style, and so comfy she’ll never want to take it off.

According to the city, for the week after Christmas only, sanitation crews will collect boxes and wrapping paper and tissue that cannot fit inside trash containers. These items should be placed beside the container. The boxes should be broken down, and the wrapping paper and tissue paper should be bagged. Boxes and bags picked up at curbside are not recycled.

Tuck mini pink pineapples into a ring of pittosporum, like the one that hangs on the piazza entrance of this Charleston Single House. Crowning it is a huckleberry-and-bear grass garland trimmed with orange and yellow pincushion flowers that pop like winter citrus.

Celebs like their wrapping to look as exquisite as a red carpet outfit, with as much drama and theatre in the trimmings as possible. This year there are lots of fabulous jewel-coloured gift wraps, making it easier to steal the style of the rich and famous, with shades of fuchsia and teal.

Forthrightness is a virtue, and that is the gift of the water droplets emoji. As Carmen says, “it literally works for everything, and it’s never misconstrued.” It’s very assertive flirting — leaving these under someone’s selfie is a bold move! — but sometimes that’s the energy you want to bring. Once you’re in that neighborhood its applications are near limitless. As Vanessa says, “someone sends you a nude? Throw some of these in (along with copious all caps compliments). You sent a nude? Follow up with these. Someone sexts you? Yes. You’re excited for a date? Wonderful. You wanna say “I wanna squirt all over your hot bod”? So weird, this WORKS TOO!”
