I love the holiday season! It’s my favorite time of the year. Along with the holidays comes quite a bit of hosting. I love taking the time to get my home ready for guests during the holiday season. Today I’m going to share with you 6 ways to help you get your home holiday ready.
Easy Cleaning
I’m a huge fan of easy cleaning and saving time. Something that has actually been on my list to get was a Robot vacuum, ECOVACS.
This vacuum is such a great investment. A robot vacuum frees up so much time for a busy person like myself and comes with some really helpful features. With the DEEBOT 900 you are actually able to schedule cleanings or start one with the click of the button from anywhere. Even better, the DEEBOT 900 syncs with Google Home as well as Amazon smart home systems so with a simple voice command: “DEEBOT, start cleaning,” cleaning begins in seconds! To purchase or read more info about ECOVACS make sure to visit https://www.ecovacs.com/us/deebot-robotic-vacuum-cleaner/DEEBOT-900/. It is also available online at multiple retailers and also in store at a Target near you. EVOVACS also makes a wireless charger, which I use for my cell phone, that is also such a much needed gadget for a techy girl like me.
Also, the week of Cyber Monday, the ECOVACS DEEBOT 900 will be $100 off at participating retailers!
Adding Scents
I am a huge candle lover and obsessed with a home that smells good. I think adding the right candles to any room will not only create a lovely ambiance but it will also add a refreshing scent to the room. And there’s nothing better than walking into a nicely scented room. A new candle I am trying this holiday season is the Chesapeake Bay Candle, from the Heritage Collection. I absolutely love these scented candles. I have the Beach Bonfire scented candle and cannot wait to light it up for my guests! The beach bonfire scent includes essential oils of eucalyptus, cedarwood, fire needle, patchouli, vetiver. It smells so great and will definitely scent up my home for the holidays. It is a soy wax blend candle, delivering a clean burn and is designed and poured in the USA. Purchase this scent here: https://amzn.to/2OQSLbE
Holiday Decor
The holidays always calls for some Christmas decor. We all have our large Christmas trees but many times adding small elements throughout your home adds a touch of charm. I’m excited to add a 25” Iced Mini Pine Artificial Christmas Tree from Christmas Central in my upstairs loft. Loved by designers, this tree is universally appealing. It has a high tip count (125) and realistic PE branches. It looks like it was freshly cut for a country cottage. This frosted mini green Christmas tree came in a galvanized bucket and is just adorable. If you have been following me, you know I love farmhouse decor. So this will be a nice add to my home for Christmas. Check out more of their amazing Christmas trees here: https://bit.ly/2AiI64Y
Adding Luxe Guest Bedding
Nothing speaks to guest like nice comfortable luxurious bedding. I am adding a new set of Luxe Hardcore Sheets Bundle from Brooklinen in classic white to my guest bed. After you feel these sheets, you’ll be jealous of your guests for sure! I love that Hardcore Bundle allows you to order sheets and mix and match colors to fit #mybrooklinenstyle without having to go to the store. Other similar luxury bedding can cost up to $895, so the pricing for these luxury sheets is a sweet deal for the quality that you are getting. I cannot wait for my guests to wake up in them. Make sure to use my discount code: angel20 when you shop. You will receive $20 off any order $50 or more- valid through 12/31/18! Find out more here.
Smart Lighting
Adding some cool lighting to your home can also get you holiday ready and highly impress your guests. I will be adding some Element Color Plus lighting to my home this season. The amazing thing is you can turn your dining room lighting a hue of red for Christmas! Element Color Plus kit has 16 million colors and a thousand shades of white so that you can easily add a pop of color or warm to-cool lighting to any living space. Through the customizable Sengled Home app, you can control lights, set schedules, and check energy savings. The Element line is compatible with Amazon Echo, Google Home, SmartThings, and more, so you can interact with your home by voice. I love the idea of if I am on vacation, I can schedule my lights to turn on and off anywhere between 6pm-11pm to mimic the look of being at home to ward off intruders.
In addition to the Element Color Plus, the Solo Color Plus has an amazing extra feature, it plays music! It is a light bulb that you are able to set the mood with color and sound. Change the hue of the light to make for a more relaxing environment and connect your music or podcast through bluetooth. You can amplify your vibes by choosing how the light changes with the beat! What a game changer for when I entertain guests. Playing Christmas music and changing the lighting of the room at the same time will be amazing!

Organizing
There are many rooms that should get organized before guests arrive. I like to organize my kitchen drawers because we are always opening it whether to grab a fork, spatula, plastic tubberware, or serving utensil. This year, I will also be adding a shelf liner to my drawers with a Smooth Top Shelf Liner.
They are non adhesive and machine washable which is fabulous. I love non-adhesive liners because you can easily remove them when needed and they feature a smooth surface for easy sliding, cleaning, and a non-slip grip bottom. The smooth surface catches messes and spills as they happen, making clean-up a breeze. In addition, these are easy to cut, install, replace and reposition without hassle. You can use them in pantries, kitchen cabinets, shelves and drawers, under the sink, bathroom and medicine cabinets, linen closets, desk and dresser drawers, and more.
