Traveling to … the Hubiku Cenote // Riviera Maya

June 26, 2014 · 2 Comments

 Traveling to Hubiku Cenote: Rivera Maya Before making our way to the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza {Part I and Part II}, we had the amazing experience of swimming in the Hubiku Cenote. Hubiku, the ancient Mayan word meaning “Great Lord”, is a magical cenote {a sinkhole created from rainfall}, and sacred place once thought by the Mayan people to be the entrance to the underworld. I’ve heard and seen so many amazing things about this wonder, I couldn’t wait to experience it for myself.

 Traveling to Hubiku Cenote: Rivera Maya We were welcomed by Mayan warriors before taking a magical swim in the most crystal clear water I’ve seen, and one of the most beautiful natural wonders. I remember closing my eyes feeling like I was floating, listening to the birds flying, feeling natural sunlight shining through the opening above and in complete wonder and amazement that I was having this once in a lifetime experience, although I know I’ll be back.

After our quick swim, we made our way to learn how authentic Tequila is made, and even enjoyed ourselves a sampling of different aged tequila. My favorite, the almond, but brought home a three-year old barrel aged and coffee infused one I can’t wait to mix a refreshing summer cocktail with. In just one day, I engulfed myself with rich culture and magnificent natural wonders, the perfect way to start our Mexican travels.

I’ll find the balance soon enough, perhaps I need to tap into the Mayan spirits once more for motivation and light….

Let's talk what really makes a Victorian holiday.. Let's talk what really makes a Victorian holiday...did you know many of our Christmas decor & traditions are directly from Queen Victoria's reign. A maximalist aesthetic rich in jewel tones that incorporated many elements already on hand & found in nature🎄🎀

What are the key design elements of a Victorian inspired Christmas.... 

- Christmas Trees. Prince Albert popularized it from his childhood in Germany. These trees were adorned w. candles, sweets, fruits, small gifts & handmade paper chains
- Ribbons!! There's a reason ribbons were a popular for the holidays, they were affordable & easily made from fabric remnants. They’re a Victorian signature
- Fresh Greenery. Beautiful mantels & bookshelves lined w. fragrant evergreens come from a time where embracing seasonal nature was the norm
- Candles! There’s nothing more magical than the flicker of candlelight. Original trees were decorated w. real candles. Thankfully we can now use electric candles to adorn ours
- Indoor decorations. Holiday home decor we love was almost all handmade! I think it's why so many are drawn to this aesthetic. Greens tied w. ribbons, mistletoe balls & wreaths hung, paper decor all carefully made
- Stockings were popularized, but mostly kept simple w. embroidered names
- Simple Intentional Gifts. Christmas wasn't for elaborate gifts, it was a time to gift fruits, nuts, sweets & small handmade trinkets. Games, dolls, books, apples, oranges & nuts were most popular
- Decorative Food, for eating & decorating. Oranges adorned w. ribbons & whole cloves became beautifully popular pomanders.  Christmas fruit cake, mulled wine, sugar plums -- all Victorian staples still adorning our tables & comforting our souls
- Christmas Cards. Christmas Crackers. Handblown Glass Ornaments...all holiday traditions we still take part in, all from a time long ago

❌DONTS for a Victorian Christmas....
- Colorful Lights 
- Snowflakes
- Jolly Santa...Victorian Christmases depict a less merry, slenderer St. Nicholas in a long robe often in white, green or blue✨
Tie a bow on it! There hasn’t been a bow or fabr Tie a bow on it! There hasn’t been a bow or fabric ribbon delicately tied that I haven’t been smitten with. And yes, bows are everywhere. Last year’s holiday table was a gathering of cherished family heirlooms, timeless design details that have forever imprinted in our present, the invigorating calm scents & textures of the winter season that set the scene for simple magic✨🎁

A little minimalist, very much nature driven & a t A little minimalist, very much nature driven & a touch old world....the itch for a Victorian inspired holiday table was already blooming last year🎀

Despite what social media & what others may pressure you into believing, you do not need to buy new holiday decor. Bring out the fancy stuff, make something handmade & heartfelt. I’m a firm believer in finding joy in the things we already have, making new traditions with the old, creating simple but immensely special details that become cherished memories❄️

The holidays can be a mixed bag of emotions & to do’s, especially during these times. So don’t forget the intention of it all, no need to overdo it if it downs feel right. It’s the simple heartfelt details, that make all the difference🧡
