JUST IN TIME FOR THE BIG CELEBRATION

Let me be the first to wish you EID MUBARAK!!! (in advance). I want to believe i am the first yeah, lol. How are you doing? How are you preparing for the Eid celebration? I believe you have the holidays all planned out like i do. I have been seeing sacrificial rams all over the place, and i can;t help but anticipate this coming Eid celebration. Thinking about how much meat i will get to eat, i can worry about detox after :)

It is just a week away, preparations have started already and everyone is trying to get their rams and aso odun  (what is aso odun in english anyway?) One of the big parts of this celebration is the welcoming and entertaining of guests in your home to celebrate with you. You definitely want to put your home in a great shape and also wow your guests.

As you are planning this big celebration, here are a few things to consider in putting the home together and making it welcoming for guests.

1. Clear the Clutter -

 This simply means taking out things you do not need in the home. It could be in the living room, it could be a shelf, it could be your TV stand, the kitchen counter, the entrance area etc. Don't be a compulsive collector  You could simply store in a box somewhere or donate it out.  Declutter your space , make it look clean, refreshing and inviting.






2. Have a Welcome Mat

Never underestimate the effect of a welcome mat. They are not only to avoid dirt coming into your home or to protect your floors. They serve as a warm welcome. it is a psychic thing. or should i say i like to think it is. Have a beautiful and colorful welcome mat and see how it affects your guests.








3. Make good use of Planters -

This is one of the most important decorating tool in the home. Plants add colour, shape, and life to a room and for that alone i love them. They are a powerful tool in the designing of a space. they exhibit the effect of nature in every space and in turn the room has cleaner air.

4. Add a Pop of Colour -  Colours do speak you know. Not literally though. Ever asked yourself why you feel so energized in a  vivid  red room and you feel calm in a neutral blue room. I want to believe  that this is majorly because colours are closely connected to our emotions.Pop of colour can be in the painting of your wall, a nicely coloured flower vase with flowers, throw pillows and a lot more. Add that pop of colour and see how it will affect your space.

I hope this will be useful for you, kindly let me know when you try it out and what you think of it. Catch you all after this big celebration. super excited because i will be spending mine in my home town ijebu mushin. If you know great places in ijebu; kindly share with a sister.

Thank you for taking out time to read.  Toodles
