I’ve been going through a divorce for about a year now, but finally I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I should have listened to my mother 5 years ago, when she told me that this marriage wouldn’t last, but I was in love! Hopefully I’ll learn from my mistakes and be more careful next time around. Anyway, my soon to be ex husband moved out last week and I couldn’t be happier about that!
But I tell you, even though he’d moved out… I was still very irritated and upset! My usual nightly routine, of lighting my favorite soothing vanilla scented candles, wasn’t working anymore. But then it hit me, could it be that the Vanilla scented Candles remembered me of him? I got out my bleach and started disinfecting everything in the house, in hope to get rid of any vanilla candle “smell”.
Then I quickly went on the internet and ordered my second favorite candle fragrance…Strawberry scented candles with essential oils to get the true strawberry aroma. When they arrived I lit all of the candles and once the mouthwatering strawberry scent filled the air… I felt all my aggravations, just run out of my body and fill me with a sense of calmness and joy. So, out with the old husband and in with my new favorite Strawberry Scented Candles!

One of my many girlfriends is getting married soon and we’re throwing “another” traditional bachelorette party! I think it’s the third one this year with lots of alcohol, candy and naked dancing men! I don’t mean to sound cruel, but these never ending bachelorette parties are becoming quite a bore. When and if it ever becomes my turn to get hitched, maybe I feel better about them!
This time I was going to do something a little different, instead of skimpy lingerie that are getting skimpier by each party and let’s not forget the blond wig… I was getting her an elegant Candle Gift Sets! I’d found a great Candle Gift Set that contained rose scented candles…her favorite fragrance and some pretty pink Votive candles as well.
When the party was pretty much over, the booze and candy was gone plus the male strippers had left, it was time to open the presents. And like clockwork, here starts the never ending parade of sexy lingerie, thongs and garter belts…Before I was ready to leave, she came over and whispered in my ear; I so appreciate you getting me that beautiful Rose Scented Candle Gift set… I’ll never get my nerve up to wear any of that way too sexy lingerie; at least I got something I can use, thanks to you!!!

Me and my girlfriends always fight over which one gets to use her favorite Scented Candles, reed diffusers, or potpourri for our intimate dorm parties. I mean, we can’t have lots of different aromas floating around the room; people will get dizzy, so we decided to have a contest. The one that would make the best argument for their favorite one would win, and get to use it at our parties for a whole month. Of course we got into a fight when we’re all trying to convince each other why one is better than the other.

Me and all my girlfriends have finally finished our three month diet plan! Now,we all decided we need to celebrate all the weight we lost by throwing a “finally skinny” party. But we don’t want to gain any weight back,so a “low fat” menu is on the agenda. One of my girlfriends had this great idea that the accent should be on fruit, lots of different kinds of fruit. Another girl said; how about Fruit Scented Wax Tarts and Wax Melts as a perfect addition to our party.

Unfortunately this 4th of July will be spent at home with lit Outdoor Candles instead of enjoying fireworks with our grandchildren at the beach. When our kids and grandkids showed up about two weeks ago, I knew that trouble was on the horizon.

My grandson’s was carrying a new skateboard under his arm! Out of the corner of my eye I can see my husband galloping towards our grandson and before I had time to yell; No, Honey that skateboard is not for you, he was already on it. Well, it took exactly five seconds for my husband to show off his “not so hot” skateboard skills, because about 20 min. later we are in the emergency room with a broken ankle.

I decided to throw a totally different party for all my friends this year. I was really tired of doing the same thing year after year, with my usual list of; who is suppose to bring the potato salad, who is going to bring the dessert and so on. Boooring!!! It took me a while to think of a new topic for my party, but then it suddenly hit me. Everybody loves candles, why not have everyone bring one or two candles each, to my Candle Party instead!

There has always been debate on which is better,
scented candles or incense. Well a debate for those people who like to have a signature scented home.

A long time ago in my adolescents I loved incense. It definitely had a vibe to it that is hard to explain. I think it was the smoke effect that did it, until you set off the fire alarm. Incense was also pretty messy because of the ash from burning it, and should never be left unattended.
