Vacation!!!

It feels like I have been waiting forever for this! Today was SUPER Friday for me at my regular job, I'm finally on vacation! 6 whole days off, just me, the hubby and our babies.We were going to stay home and clean (boring!) but we decided to take a family trip to Glendale, AZ to see my husbands grandmother and aunts.

We are all so excited because its been a year or so since we've seen them, and that's way too long. I was supposed to stay home and get some candle making done, but this is the 1st time in over a year that I have actually been anywhere so I couldn't pass it up. I will definitely get back to making them when we get back home.

It should be interesting to see how the kids act during a 5 1/2 hour drive. I'm sure there will be fighting, a million pit stops, someone will sit too close to the other, arguments, and lots of singing and laughing.

My camera will be close at hand, so I will try to take lots of pictures to share with you. If anyone knows of anything fun we can do while we are there, leave a comment and let me know.

June Scent Of The Month!

For this months featured scent, we decided to stick with our Aromatherapy Collection. All three Aromatherapy scents smell amazing! And sharing one just wouldn't do. So for June, we chose our "Energizing" fragrance.


Lift your spirits!
A simple way to create a pleasurable, harmonious and fragrant space. Enjoy notes of orange, lemon, grapefruit, orange flower, lily of the valley, peppermint and rosemary.


This scent smells sooooo good! When I burned it I felt like running outside, jumping on my sons skateboard and doing a kick flip or two! LOL:)

Each month we feature one of our top selling/favorite scents and offer it to you at 25% off the regular price. Our Scent of the Month candles are available in two different sizes; They are, a 4 oz Jelly Jar, and 8 oz Jelly Jar glass container with black lid. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

A new friends advice, a great camera, and a light box!

The last few days I had been dreading taking pictures of the candles I made for my "Designer Collection" candles. I must have taken 100 different pictures, with four different backgrounds, until I finally found the ones I was happy with.

Back in February, I read my new friend Patrice's blog called "Bitch Post #3: If You Want Me To Buy It, Take A Pretty Picture!" and it had me spooked! I am by no means a photographer! I take pictures for fun, during family events, to catch family members off guard, just because I have a camera. I never, ever thought about how important website pictures were until I read that.

I received my new light box a few days ago and I was terrified! What if they look bad? Should I use the camera stand? What background is going to work best, for what I want to accomplish? I went back to Patrice's blog, read it again, downloaded Google Picasa, and also checked out Handmadeology's "Photography 101".

I am so happy I did! I asked a few of my friends & family what they thought about the pictures I took, kept, and posted, and they LOVED them! Some even asked if I had them taken professionally! Here is one of the ones that I took (myself) and uploaded to my website!










Thank you again Patrice for showing me the way, C.M. for the great camera, The Hubby for the light box, and everything else you do (& purchase) because it makes me happy! It is truly appreciated!

Ms. Patrice, I would really like your opinion, and please be honest ( I wouldn't expect anything less LOL!).

We will be working on our Aromatherapy and Zodiac collection pictures later this week, keep checking back!

Sincerely,

Oh my, I am soooo spoiled!

Look what "The Hubby" just bought me, along with 50lbs of container candle wax!(Patrice, you have to give me time to figure out what I'm doing with this thing lol)
