☕️☕️☕️⁠
⁠
I’ve recently learned enjoying coffee has a lot more to do with scent than taste. ⁠
⁠
It turns out most of what we taste is actually scent. The sensations we gather from our mouth are sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami also is known as savory. Without the smell of coffee, you would likely taste only bitter and sour due to its organic acids. ⁠
⁠
I don't but you but I find that umami quite heavenly! ⁠

I think all of us in the states are beginning to feel a winter shadow. In late winter many of us grow weary of the darker days. The late to rise morning sun and the early to set evening sun. The bare landscape lacking its usual colorful self and even the stillness we took solace in earlier in the season can begin to fell empty.⁠
⁠
This when I remind myself if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Winter’s early twilight begins to appear less gloomy and almost mystic. The long quiet evenings become the perfect chance to write. And the bare landscape transforms into an intricate silhouette. Every needle on the conifer trees is like the petals on a flower. And the snow days are the best time for crafting on the farm.⁠

My four-year-old daughter and I picked the wildflowers you see in this soap on Mother’s Day last year.⁠
⁠
We pressed the flowers to preserve them and used several to make these gorgeous clear soap bars. Each time I pull one out from the deep drawer in my Great Grandmother's buffet, where I cure my soaps, I am reminded of that memory.⁠
⁠
And I'm thinking we should make a Mother's Day tradition. 💚💚⁠

While I can't walk out to our garden and run my hands through the stalks of lavender. I can, however, make use of the lavender I dried that autumn from the garden.⁠
⁠
When it comes to crafting with lavender, it all starts with harvesting and drying lavender. How do you dry lavender flowers? Use our tips to make drying lavender simple and enjoyable at Farmhouse Chic Living. 💜💜⁠

While candles are most enjoyed for their decoratio

While candles are most enjoyed for their decoration and ambiance these days, back in Medieval times to 18th century Scotland candle making was vital. If you’ve been watching Outlander on Netflix too, hence Scotland, then you have experienced in a way, how important candles were in the past. 🏰⁠
⁠
Candle making can remind us of simpler times and the soft flicker of a burning candle is very calming. 🔥🔥⁠
⁠
The process itself is quite simplistic as you only need a handful of candle making supplies. And homemade candles cost quite a bit less than their store-bought counterparts. Yet, they can be made just as effectively and beautifully.⁠
⁠

What is it about the fresh snowfall that makes the world seem magical?⁠
⁠
mag·i·cal⁠
⁠
adjective: magical.⁠
Beautiful or delightful in such a way as to seem removed from everyday life.⁠
⁠
Is it the lack of color? The contrasting dark silhouettes against the white? No, I think it must be the stillness that a soft blanket of snow can only bring. A humbling stillness that brings one to stop all the hustle and bustle of modern life.⁠

I recently read an analogy about the importance of the presentation of a gift. One wouldn't feel the same receiving a diamond ring in grocery store bag as they would in a small box tied with a bow.⁠
⁠
Maybe that's why I’ve found more often than not it’s just as simple to whip up a thoughtful, beautiful teacher gift, wedding gift, or a gift for any other occasion than it is to hunt down that ”perfect gift”.⁠
⁠
Whether it’s handmade candles or soap, the process is enjoyable and the results are stunning with the right presentation. Don't you think?⁠

Why do we love the smell of coffee candles so much

Why do we love the smell of coffee candles so much?⁠
☕️☕️☕️⁠
⁠
Even those who don’t enjoy the rich, bitter taste of coffee can’t deny its heady scent.⁠
⁠
As that is the case for me. Yet, when my husband scoops coffee beans into his coffee grinder and brews the freshly ground beans each morning it fills our farmhouse with the decadent aroma only know to coffee. While I prefer a cup of hot tea to start the day, I feel as if I could close my eyes and drift away on a cloud of coffee beans just from the scent of coffee.⁠
