ramblings from an arkansas farm girl
Today we take a little break from Christmas prep and treat ourselves to a candy cane steam facial. I concocted this at-home steam facial last weekend and decided it was fabulous; now I’m sharing it with you.
During this busy time of the year, taking care of ourselves is a necessity. While we may not have the time or $$$ to go to a fancy spa, we can all spare a few minutes to pamper ourselves. If not, simply save this post and refer to it when you do have more time to relax.Continue Reading
Today’s Santa Succulent is a fun, last-minute gift for the plant lover in your life. (Or, for yourself.)
Really, this is for everyone reading today’s Christmas Countdown post, right?

Are you ready for something a little different? For the next six days, I’ll be counting down to a merry little Christmas here at Grace Grits and Gardening. After several busy weeks of going and doing, I’m ready to focus entirely on yuletide cheer. The waiting and anticipating. The sights and sounds and memories. The sheer delight of it.
Consider today’s Christmas Countdown post to be the first of a (nearly) week-long Grace Grits advent calendar. My plan is to provide one simple thing a day to enhance your Christmas spirit. Each daily focus will be different—something to nibble or something to forage or craft, a last minute gift idea for a friend. Or perhaps just something to think about as you anticipate the magic of Christmas morning.
And every post will include a musical pairing, of course. Be sure to give it a listen.
