Bestda by owel



February meaning might best be kicked off with a quick look at the etymology of the month's moniker. The word February is born from the Latin word Februarius, from Latin februare meaning to "purify" or "expiate."
In ancient Rome, Februarius was the "Month of Purification" and great festivities were held to reestablish the empire's focus on righteous living.
This idea of devoting a month to the process of purification is invigorating. The hustle-bustle of the holidays are left behind - February finally sees many of us getting our first breath of fresh air. And, by this time of year the pressure of New Year's resolutions is either incorporated itself into healthy habits or dropped by the wayside (depending upon if we've kept our resolution vows or not :) .
February is a transitional month, and so February meaning and symbolism will have a transitional feel too. There is change in the air this time of year, and we can see this manifested in certain festivals & holidays in this month.
Well that's all for this month my friends and let's see some of the Best Deviations that they have been submitted to our group until now :heart:

Smell Like Christmas

smells by arxaggelos75


"Here’s the thing, every year people make these grand plans in treir head to do all their favorite holiday things.  Decorate the tree, make sugar cookies, decorate the house, make gingerbread houses from scratch, send out christmas cookies to everyone, find the best gifts, watch ALL the Christmas movies, go for a snowy sleigh ride, make hot cocoa with giant marshmallows and loads of whipped cream, go ice skating, make the most grand Christmas dinner – with the table set all cute and festive. The idea is pretty much just to have the perfect Christmas season, which  starts with A big snowfall .
Some people trying to make the house smell like Christmas and the  best part is that they can really use whatever they have on hand. The must-haves are cinnamon, citrus, ginger and vanilla. Nothing makes it feel more like the holidays than those smells. That's all from me my friends and now enjoy some beauties from BestDA's folders  "
