I haven't blogged for awhile and as of today moved my old blog to a new host. I kind of like this cowboy design.

News! Our May Candle of the Month is Sicilian Lemon & Rosemary. It is a light and refreshing fragrance of Sicilian Lemons combined with the woodsy mint of Rosemary. It is an amazing combination of scents that compliment each other and are sure to delight your senses! You can order them through the preferred customer retail store on our company site. We also have many new melt fragrances for our popular simmer pots. Check it out!

Now to that extra money and working for yourself. Whether you are looking for part-time income or want to leave the rat race and create your own full time business, this is a great time to start. We offer the ability to earn money by selling wholesale, retail, and/or by helping groups organize fundraisers. If you want to meet new friends and coach them to success, you may prefer team-building and building residual income. That's what is so nice about this business - you can literally design it yourself and choose the ways to make money that you enjoy most.

We now have a new online business presentation you can watch right online. We're excited about it, and it will be updated regularly. Just go to our company site and click the "Presentation" button. Don't forget to enter our monthly drawing to win a free candle and gourmet soap bar. Enjoy!

Perhaps this should be called my escape from Corporate America!

After many LONG years of being a cube rat, I initially found out how great it is to work in sweats and slippers in my own home when I started one of the first Arabian horse marketing sites on the web, ArabianSites.com. Horses have been a lifelong passion of mine, and it was a natural fit. It keeps me busy 24/7, but it's fun. The work is similar to what I did in my former life, writing and programming computer based instruction for an insurance company, but horses are much more interesting!

Then I found THE CANDLES. Natural, clean burning, amazing candles with a scents so true you can  mistake them for the real thing. I bought them for a year, then could not resist, joined the Candle of the Month Club  and became a distributor. It is like Christmas arriving every month when I get my package containing the jar candle and votives in a new scent along with a soy soap bar that is amazing in its own right. This soap rinses off so CLEAN and leaves your skin - even my 56-year-old skin, feeling baby soft.

Better yet, I can work both businesses on the internet, and with the candle business I can also go out and market to small shops, participate in craft sales (fun!), do fundraisers, or go whatever direction I want to take the business at the moment - from home or out and about.

The candles are addicting rascals. My biggest problem is not burning up my own inventory. Unfortunately, once you pop open a jar for a friend, relative or potential customer, the candle is gone. They are that good.

Then the candle company added online preferred customer ordering, and I linked my two businesses with HorsesAndCandles.com. Life is good.

I guess you could call me a stay at home mom who also loves to work at home. Can you say you are a WAHM when your child is in her early 20's? Mostly I am working toward my goal of residual income in our retirement years which are not that far away. Plus I figure my husband Jim and I can be one of those old couples who travel around to craft sales selling our goods

The time is now. This is a solid, supportive company that experienced 50% growth last year. It is expanding quickly, and NOW is the time to get started.

I can show you what we offer and tell you about our proven system. No meetings or rah rah sessions - just good solid training and an every growing library of selling materials available in our online groups.

Brrrr...we had a wonderful Winter up till now. It was practically balmy here in the North country until February. We've been in below zero temps and finally received some significant snowfall. That was enough - I'm ready for Spring now.

Our new gourmet candle fragrance is Hot Orange Danish, and it should arrive soon. I can't wait to light that baby up and add some warmth to the house. I've been sticking close to the fireplace as it is. If somebody buys my candle of the month jar, I'll bust up a votive and drop it in one of our simmer pots. Yeah, it will make me hungry, but will smell so good. This scent has a hint of chocolate in it as well.

I'm not a kitchen maven at all, but there's a great recipe for Hot Orange Danish in our February Newsletter:

Stay warm wherever you are, and remember this is a great time of year to be soothed by the flickering and fragrance of the best gourmet candles around.

Well that is what I thought when I burned our new Pastry Shoppe candle. I took a votive out of the box when I received my order, took one sniff and put it back. A half hour later I was still drooling on my keyboard, so I thought what the heck.

I put the votive in a baggie and whacked it with a screwdriver handle and voila! I put a couple of chunks in my simmer pot and very soon my whole house smelled like a bakery. It was heavenly, and I was hungry - not just for anything, but for cinnamon rolls.

Thank goodness it got to the family too, and soon my daughter and her boyfriend were whipping up a batch of homemade cinnamon rolls. Yum. And so much for the no calories idea!

Curious? You can have your very own lucious candle. Visit CleanScentedSoyCandles.com and do a bit of drooling yourself. The calories were worth it.
