Infusion Organique Candle Review



Ron Chavers and Carole Vialars are behind the creative passion of Infusion Organique, a fragrance and skincare line that embodies the spirit of the French.

The Sands of Morocco Soy Blend Candle($38) has a very spicy name, but it surprisingly smells fresh and delightful! It has a vanilla scent with a touch of aromatic sandalwood and warm oak moss to a blend of certified organic lemongrass oil and ylang-ylang for a scent as warm as the Mediterranean sun. The light scent will enhance any room's atmosphere without dominating it. All of the candles at Infusion Organique are made with the highest quality of natural soy blend wax, including renewable and naturally biodegradable soy.

Spring Cleaning Tips for the Garage

While spring cleaning is a seasonal rite of passage for many, the cleaning often stops at the garage door. But if you can get the garage organized and provide appropriate shelter for your belongings you'll reap benefits that last well beyond spring.



In honor of the fifth year anniversary of National Garage Organization Month (coming in April 2010), below are a few spring cleaning tips just for the garage.

Roll up the hose: Come spring, you'll find yourself using the hose again to water the lawn or wash your car. Instead of cramming the hose in the corner of your garage, invest in a piece of Gear Track and a Deep Hook that will secure the hose to the wall for easy access and storage.

Hang the bike: If the warmer weather has you exploring the neighborhood on two wheels, getting to the bike and storing it in the garage can cause all sorts of headaches. Try the Gladiator Claw Advanced Bike Storage which lets you store your bike by its rear tire, clearing up valuable floor space. The intuitive push-lock mechanism allows you to hang or release the bike in one motion.

Keep the sporting goods tidy:
If spring time means play time in your family, you might suffer from soccer balls, footballs and basketballs rolling around the garage floor. This can be unsightly and also dangerous as you can trip on a loose ball. Help keep things in place with the Gladiator Ball Caddy which mounts to the wall and has openings along the front so you don't have to dig deep to retrieve what you need.

To encourage consumers to clean the garage this spring, Gladiator brand will be offering 15% off all products and 10% off all appliances on GladiatorGW.com starting April 1.

Obrien & Schridde Designs Review



O'Brien and Schridde Designs was founded in 2003. They began designing and hand-making picture frames. Their pieces reflect their appreciation for time gone by. Over the years they have often photographed their two children and rose garden. You see these images in their frames. They continue to explore new ideas that might compliment their line.

You may have seen some of their frames in magazines across the country. They have appeared in Country Living, Country Home and Romantic Country Living.

The many time-worn objects with which they surround ourselves and the beauty of their ever blossoming old English roses greatly influence their work. Their individual artistic inspirations and sense of design come together in a way that suggests the delicate balance between then and now.



The elegantly beautiful Ivy Frame is now hanging on my bedroom wall. It was designed to give a warm, ethereal, and romantic feel in your home or office. It comes in 3 different sizes and 2 different colors - Cream or Black. I received the Cream. This particular style is very fitting for my vintage inspired theme that I'm working on in my bedroom. I plan on getting a black and white photo of my son and placing it in this frame to give it a very authentic "vintage" look.

Each of their beautiful frames are designed to look weathered and worn. They have just introduced their artboard frames. These frames are made from cardboard that is over a half inch thick. The edges have a stunning antique gold leaf finish. The printed front has a romantic embossed and gold leaf pattern around the opening.
