Valentine's Day at-home, Gift delivery in Thunder Bay, The Camellia

Thunder Bay Flower & Gift shop; Valentine's Day 2022

Traditionally, Valentine's Day is all about red Rose bouquets and chocolate, at The Camellia, we like to think outside the box, and would like to offer some alternatives to the usual. Above is our Napa Spring Spa gift set, with a Eucalyptus Spa Napa Soap from St. Helena, a handmade weighted Eye mask, and a Spring potted hyacinth plant. The Eucalyptus Spa soap bar is reminiscent of a Day at the Spa, and contains peppermint and eucalyptus essential oil. It feels good to be pampered. Buy online https://iwindowshop.ca/collections/sleep/products/napa-soap-eucalyptus-gift-set. $49.00 +hst and Delivery. 

This brightly coloured Lavender bag is a small something for a friend, Lavender is known for its calming properties, and Goat's Milk soap is wonderful for your skin.

What are we doing with our Time? January at The Camellia, Slate River, Ontario

It's a common complaint.....I don't know where the time went, how can it be 4pm. already? Where did the day go? 

I don't have enough hours in my day. 

How can it be the middle of January already? where did the time go? 

If only I had more time. 

I'm so busy! How about you? what are you up to? 

Did you plan a trip lately? You probably spent hours looking on Hotels.com, Trip Advisor and maybe Sunwing. Hours spent looking at reviews from those people  who stayed at the same Hotel you are thinking of booking. We have this insane need to know everything before we go anywhere....360 degree views of the hotel ! By the time we board the plane, we have spent hours trying to get the best deal on various Travel websites. 

Here we are at Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, in the Laundry Room. The amount of hours that went into doing the laundry! 

We are lucky we don't have to spend hours, or days, doing Laundry. Now we have all kinds of Washers and Dryers where we load the clothes, push a button and walk away. We all know people who are spending so much time on the internet - buying all manner of nonsense on Ebay and Amazon. We may get carried away with online auctions, and end up buying items we don't really need. 

What most of us really want is more Time, time to stop and smell the Tulips. so the question we need to ask ourselves is this: what are we spending our time on? What would we like to be doing instead of our 'Have-to-get-done' list? 

Here's an idea....you can take a Paint Pour Class at The Camellia. How fun is this? 

You may want to try baking from scratch. Look at this yummy Apple bake.
What to get more done? Then working fewer hours is the key.

We have this wonderful cookbook from Joanna Gaines in our store. 

Stop for a second and think about the contrast of how much daily living consumed our lives centuries ago, and now, we have everything so much more streamlined and it's still not enough. We continue to push more and more into our lives. Enjoy the Journey, and come visit us here at The Camellia. Take a Class, and get some Spring inspiration.
