Soy Delites Candles Review
Their soy candles are handmade with care in Austin, Texas using 100% natural soy wax and cotton wicks. Clean burning and long lasting, Soy Delites Candles are your eco-friendly and healthy candle alternative.
They offer several styles to choose from, including tealights, votives, travel tins, and our signature glasses in a diverse array of alluring scents, like clean and invigorating Ginger Lemongrass or bold and sensuous Sandalwood Amber. At Soy Delites, they strive to make not only incredibly aromatic and clean burning candles, but they hope to give you a visually stunning and beautiful experience.
Soy candles are much better for our health and environment than traditional paraffin candles. Soy candles do not emit the soot. Not only do paraffin candles leave black residue on the containers they were burned in, but prolonged use of these candles can stain your walls, ceilings, curtains or blinds, and even carpets or rugs. Another benefit of soy wax is that it is a biodegradable product. This means it cleans up easily with just soap and warm water. You no longer have to worry about the mess paraffin makes when cleaning up your candle holders.
To date, the EPA (or any other organization) has not conclusively studied the long term health issues that may arise from burning paraffin wax candles compared to burning soy candles. However, the EPA did find organic chemicals and known carcinogens, such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein in paraffin wax. In addition, Rezaei et al. studied the combustion characteristics of soy, paraffin and beeswax candles, and they concluded that measurable amounts of formaldehyde were detected when burning paraffin candles.
My Thoughts: I received a Set of 2 Glass Candles in the scents of my choice, Bergamot and Fruit Explosion. With 75 hours of burning time, these slow-burning candles are a steal if bought as a set since you save save 17%. They also offer 20 different tantalizing fragrances such as Orange Vanilla, Rose, Ginger Lemongrass, Gardenia, Mint, Ginger Sandalwood, Spice, Midnight Fig, etc. I love both scents, because they are both uplifting and livens up the atmosphere. The Fruit Explosion has a beach-ready blend of mango, pineapple, peach, and coconut. You can mentally picture yourself basking in the sun, while sipping on a fruity concoction. The Bergamot is a refreshing and crispy scent of citrus that will drive away the ho-hum winter blues. I'm certainly no stranger to Bergamot since it is used in one of my favorite teas, Earl Grey.

Home Decoration Tips for the Unaware
Buying or renting a new house is one of the most exciting moments in any individual’s life. If you have recently bought or rented out a new house then you are already well aware of this fact. However, moving into a new house, apart from a lot of joy and excitement, also means a lot of work. There are a lot of steps that you will need to take before you can turn this new house or apartment into anything resembling a home. You will do this by decorating it and imposing your personality on it. Home decoration does not mean that you embed diamonds into every room and every wall because this is simply not possible. Instead, home decoration means that you subtly yet inexorably paste yourself on your house. Still, giving a house a personality is not as easy as it may sound. People make many mistakes while undertaking such endeavors and are then tied down to their mistakes. Here are a few tips to avoid mistakes while decorating your house with or without diamonds.
Theme: You need to have a theme on which you will decorate the house and, in fact, each and every room. If you do not have a theme, you will end up with a room and, indeed, a home that feels patched and unkempt. Furthermore, without a theme, there will be no uniformity to your home which would result in it not being really conducive to peace and serenity.
Size: Many people have to limit themselves to their means. This means that, even though they may be wishing for a large house, they have to make do with a medium sized or small house. However, you can create the illusion of size by smart usage of mirrors in the house. Mirrors can make a room bigger than what it actually is.
Transition: If you have decided to use different themes for designing different rooms then you need to make sure that the change from one room to another is not abrupt. For this, you need to create transitional spaces or dress the middle spaces in a way that they lead to a gradual transition.
Knick Knacks: Once you have the basics set, you will need to make the home a little more human. For this, you need to place carefully chosen knick knacks in places. It should be noted that if these knick knacks actually hold a meaning for you then the house will also have a soul along with seeming human.

Lisa Hoffman Madagascar Orchid Candle Review
An avid traveler and true beauty connoisseur, Lisa Hoffman spent years traveling the world with her high-profile husband, Dustin Hoffman, and their six children, immersing herself in diverse cultures and becoming well-informed about beauty secrets from around the globe. Throughout her travels, Lisa has methodically uncovered the most essential skin care ingredients, all of which combine to ensure potent and high performing treatment systems.
With an innate gift as a "kitchen chemist," Lisa has been the driving force behind some unique skin formulations, and in 2007, after six years in development, Lisa launched her very own beauty line that is taking skin care to new heights. With her system dedicated to excellence and simplicity, above and beyond being recognized as an award winning skin care line, Lisa was named "Newcomer of the Year" by Women's Wear Daily in 2007 and most recently was selected for Allure's Best of Beauty 2008 for her Spa Bath Soak.
The person who said that you can't give Mother Nature an upgrade hasn't met Lisa Hoffman or enjoyed the enchanting and beautiful fragrances that she creates. The Madagascar Orchid Candle ($46) is beautifully scented with a soft, yet noticeable fragrance of Madagascar Orchid; which is a delicate white flower, containing notes of sheer jasmine, ylang dew, mimosa mood, and pink peony. In just a few minutes after lighting the Madagascar Orchid Candle, my mood and spirits are instantly lifted as the atmosphere becomes more tranquil and peaceful. This is the perfect candle to burn when you're snuggling with the one you love on a cold wintery evening.
Using a proprietary soy wax blend, her candles contain the highest concentration of fine fragrance oils and will burn for over 50 hours. The Japanese Agarwood Candle ($46) is also available, which I'm sure that smells equally as beautiful since I have the Variations ($95) in this scent and I love it!
