Christmas Potpourri 

I have mentioned it before, the beauty of the holidays is you can improvise and create your own unique decorations and crafts. Turning the simplest of items into the prettiest ornaments or decorations, or maybe even gifts.

Christmas scents or Christmas gifts, this is the perfect option. The gift that keeps on giving when when empties the contents into a pot and let it start simmering.

Ingredients for my Potpourri

The scents of the season can be created with all that we currently have in our cupboards. Plus maybe a few items from the fridge. Isn’t it amazing how the combination of several non traditional holiday scents can create perfect Christmas Potpourri. Lemons and grapefruit may not be the first item you grab but they sure do help.
