Hi, I'm Beth with 50 plus Beauty and I'm excited that you're here with me today for my holiday home tour 2018. Yes, that's right. I'm going to be showing you my Christmas decorations in my first floor and I have just come through a pretty major remodeling project in my home but I still have curtains to buy so I have not shown that video yet the before and after of that. So if you're not a subscriber and you're interested in all things anti-aging plus things like house remodeling then I hope you subscribe and click that little bell that will just notify you of my future videos. Okay, I want to begin by saying that this is my second holiday season with you all and I am so happy and grateful to be here and I'm so excited to open my home to you. We're walking into my house and don't look at the prep porch too closely. I haven't been able to sweep it in a long time but Merry Christmas. This is my home and it's my Christmas decor for this year. I changed my decor a little bit this year because I redecorated the house. When you come in the front door you come into the living room which is a rather large room has a mirror right here and then it has a little niche here that I've just decorated in red and green and there's the bedroom and there is a look at the living room and I got a new stand to this year because the other one was kind of burgundy colored and very old world and I found that one at Hobby Lobby and he's very dark red which he looks a little more modern and then the joy sign which I love that joy sign to me words are so important because the reminders have a feel I guess the words person. I think I make it another one of those and paint it off white and keep it up there all year long because I just really think it's helpful to be reminded that we need to feel joy otherwise we can forget and there is the little living room area and I did not use my red pillows this year because I have these gray rugs and some black accents so I wanted to keep the black accents even though it's Christmas to make it a little more modern. There's the Christmas tree which I'll show in just a minute and here's another round rug and my little dog that I decorated with a bow. We lost our dear sweet eddie he was our salty that we had for 12 years. He's been gone now maybe four or five years and until we retire and can be home with the dog more and says no no dog so we'll wait but there's the little dining room area and I'm waiting to show you the video on the house because I don't have the curtains yet but you can see the black and white on the windows there's going to be very bold bold curtains but I've just done everything a little more modern this year than last year everything is a little more spare. I'll show you a picture of what the dining room table looked like last year versus what it looks like this year and you can really see that it's come from old world into more of an updated modern look and there is the little noelle sign which I've just decorated in the red and the silver and I got this at Kirkland and it's really very pretty it has candles in it it's not lit right now but it kind of gave me the color scheme for this which is red and silver as opposed to red green and gold as it was last year and then here is the tree and I've done the black buffalo plaid to match the buffalo plaid and the rest of the room and as you can see it's mostly red and silver with touches of green. I love Christmas trees and I love Christmas ornaments. I just met somebody actually as my kneel lady and she said that she decorates her house for Christmas on November 1st. I thought I was early at Thanksgiving everybody comes and we're all decorated for Christmas which I always love because I just love Christmas and I love that a core it's hard for me to take it down. If I could have my Christmas decor up all year round I would do that. It just seems like such a loving happy time. I absolutely adore Christmas and then here we go into the kitchen and there is the kitchen and then a little family room area back there and here is the kitchen table and I found a little joy sign which I really love that joy sign. I found that at Hobby Lobby and I'm actually going to keep it up all year long because my dishes are gray and white and I think it would really go but I've just used a little red napkins that I got from Amazon I'll put the links below the video and in fact I'll put a link to the video from last year so you can see the decor last year if you didn't get to see that video it's more ornate in its very old world looking but it's really very charming too it's a lot of golds and reds and greens and there's the center island and there's my belief sign and when I redecorated the house I must have spray painted that belief sign about five different times. It went to off-white it went to silver it went to black and finally I ended up with kind of a mix kind of a grayish, whitish, blackish color. I just love that word believe because to me belief is so important in life what we believe is half the time what we get. I did go ahead and paint the ceiling dome gray a little bit of decor there and I promise not to go into the core because this is mostly Christmas and there's a look at the center island and I got these wild bows this year which are just red and green and kind of like Dr. Seuss I think and I just emptied a whole big bag of silver balls in that fruit bowl and then I've got my little sanders here which I've had for years I love those little guys and I have my favorite Christmas candle ever and I buy these for pretty much everyone I know this is the fresh balsam candle from Bath & Body Works absolutely smells like Christmas trees I love this candle and burn it all the time there's a link below the video if you're interested in learning more about that there's the little family room area and there are the three stockings hung by the chimney with care and they are for Dylan yes that's Dylan Emily and Colin Emily is Colin's wife and it was so happy because Dylan's girlfriend Melanie came to Thanksgiving so maybe someday we'll have a four stocking called Melanie I always get a little ahead of myself don't I when it comes to my boys my kids just got a little bowl there little Santa there and then here I've just got a few little deers on a box and just a few little points at us so that's how the family room looks wait this is the back door from the garage and so this is what you see when you come in the house you see the little coffee bar there I don't trace we have our coffee makers there and sometimes an iced tea machine and there's the little mud room area and I love that little sign I got that from Kirkland's at home sign it's part of the new decor which I will show you when I do my before and after decor video got some Santa's there and Frosty is there now I'll take you and show you my filming room there's one little bedroom there and I've already started to get little Christmas gifts for my sweet little Monroe who is my nieces daughter I don't have any grandkids yet but I love my sweet little Monroe and this is my makeup room and it's a wreck right now I have some of the items from the living room decor that I brought back here and then I started to do two videos this morning and then realized I look too terrible to be able to do them I am coming off of a bad cold and I shot one whole video on Christmas gifts and these are good Christmas gifts that I'm going to be showing you in a video because I have to reshoot that video I got through with making that video and started to edit and realize that I looked absolutely too ungodly terrible to be on that video so I'm going to remake it tomorrow morning there is a fabulous little Christmas gift which is a shoulder massager by Miko which I'll be showing you the thing about the makeup room is that I did decorate it for Christmas this year and I didn't last year and it's just you know three little things but I am so happy that when I'm in this room here with you I also have a little bit of Christmas there are my signs in my little bathroom and so the adventure begins don't forget to be awesome always stay humble and kind and those are absolutely wonderful things that we can all remember in life to keep ourselves in perspective and also realize how special life is well I am so happy to have my second Christmas with you all I am so grateful to have a YouTube channel I'm so grateful that you all come and watch my videos I just feel like the most blessed person on earth I hope that each of us has an absolutely fabulous Christmas filled with love family friends and all things good thank you to God thank you to all of you Mary Christmas and have a wonderful new year well that was a look at my holiday decorations for 2018 and I'm so glad you all could come for a visit I am so grateful to each and every one of you out there those who comment those who don't I absolutely am so happy and so grateful and so humbled that you're all here and I hope you and your family and friends have a fabulous Christmas season take care see you next time
