New Year's Inspiration - What's Inside the December Favorite Things Box!

I love the new year...it is always a time I take to reflect, reset and celebrate the possibilities of the new year ahead! I always have a word for the year and my word for 2024 is STRENGTH!

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

Phillipians 4:13

This month’s box is a full of items to help you reflect, pamper, and celebrate YOU in the year head!

Here’s what’s inside your January Favorite Things box:

#1 – Gratitude - I was gifted a Gratitude Journal by my son and his girlfriend for my birthday this past year and it is one of my favorite daily routines. Spending time to reflect in the morning before you start your day and in the evening when you end your day on what you are thankful sets you up for such a positive mindset!

#2 - Pamper - Because we all need a little pamper and me time to start off our new year, relax and enjoy the Champagne Toast Bath Bomb handmade by local maker Cathy with Ada Acres in Linden, Iowa.

#3 - Celebrate - To help you ring in the new year with some thing special + fun for your celebrations, whether you are hosting a big party or relaxing with your feet up, local maker Ellen has handmade special 2024 Cupcake Toppers to add some sparkle + magic to your party!

#4 - DIY - And, to go with your cupcake toppers...we need some cupcakes! I’ve included a recipe for champagne cupcakes in the December box to spark your creativity and help you toast in the new year cupcake cheers style!!! {Both an EASY and more ADVANCED recipe version are included.}

#5 - Positivity + Thank You- To continue the positive vibes in this box and thank you for your support in 2023, local maker Anna with Peony & Lace Paperie has specially created 2024 New year’s Affirmation Cards for you to soak in! Read one when you need a pick me up or to celebrate something magical, hang on your mirror, tuck in your hubby’s lunch/or share with a friend!
