Good things are happening, Soon I will have more money to get supplies I found out why paypal wasn't charging my customers for shipping and can get that fixed. So I say hello to good things and Good bye to all the bad things that have been tormenting me good things are going to happen, I will be happy and financially successful, love will find me and all will be right with the world.

Gel
If you have a Gel candle with decorations and some how it has bubbled up and you don't like the bubbles turn your oven on to 200 and put the candle on a cookie sheet leave it in the oven for like 20 min then put it directly in the fridge, now if there are things floating in the gel this will make them sink. Thank you enjoy and have a good day.

Rainy days and Mondays
The classic song states that "Rainy days and Mondays always get me down" which I never understood cause I love the rain and Monday's are cool, I always feel on Monday's that anything is possible its a clean slate a fresh start and you can go anywhere and do anything. So today I woke up and looked out my window and took a deep breath of the morning air and thought wow this is a good day and its going to be a great week. I am going to be able to make all my candles and get the shipping working on the website so that I don't have to pay out of pocket for shipping, yeah for some reason pay pal wasn't charging people for shipping. So today I say aloud Thank you for this wonderful day and for the smile that I have kept with me.

Cleaning
If you are anything like my parents were or a good friend of mine is you have been at a street fair or in a shop some where and saw I beautiful art piece candle some decorative thing like a molded cat candle that looks like your cat or, you randomly found a candle that is in a mug for a beautiful place you once visited so you put this on a shelf in your home to display it and it looks so pretty but you don't light it cause you don't want to mess up the piece and as with most of us you dust your furniture and maybe use one of those yellow wand things to dust your knick knacks, but you find that after time your pretty kitty candle has turned dull and has a layer of dust and grime on it but you don't know what to do cause you are afraid of messing up the colors or what ever container that the candle is in, but you have to do something cause really its starting to look nasty. Well my friends you don't have to stay up and look for a new miracle cleaner on late night infomercials or just scrap your nice little candle cause your afraid of messing it up. This is a case of simple and easy is the best way to go, now you want to be careful cause well in the case of the cat candle you don't want to get all aggro on it and break of an ear off, so with candles you always want to remember that heat is not its friend but we all know that hot water or steam is the best way to clean so how can we do this.First dish soap and warm water not tepid but about 80 to 100 degrees will work perfectly and you want a washcloth or soft towel you can even use a paper towel, the best thing to do would be fill up your sink with warm water and a little bit of dish soap, then place the candle in the sink let it sit for 5 to 15 min then gently wipe off with cloth, you might need to repeat this depending upon the amount of grime, once its all clean and your satisfied just set it on a dry cloth or paper towel till its dry. Thank you if you have any questions feel free to ask and visit me at papabearcandles.weebly.com if you would like to buy some candles.

The hills are alive
This morning I woke up at like 6:30 not sure why I went out of my room and notices my roommates door was closed so I decided to go and lay back down, so I got back up at 7:30 and went for a walk, good roommate cause I get back home and he is helping me by cleaning in my room that rocks. What doesn't is the fact that my house is starting to smell like kitty poop ewww it made me realize that I need to put my tips into effect, although it would be easier if they would learn to use the litter box instead of pooping all over the house I am tired of cleaning up kitty poop, and since there not dogs its not like you can rub there noses in it. So I am looking up kitty training, hopefully it will work cause they are cute and I like them a lot. next step is naming them comment with any suggestions, if you go to my facebook page you will be able to see pictures of them.

decoration
In a world of mass produced candles and home make over shows where we feel like every couple months we have to move everything around and repaint and that for some reason the inside of our house has to look better then the homes on the magazines and the only people making money are the ones selling us how to make everything look better.Well if you are low on funds and you want to Britten up your home, you can accentuate what you have a little flare can make your home or office look new first step people is always clean and dust, I am sorry but you can have the most expensive furniture but if you don't maintain a small level of cleanliness in your home your house will look like it came of parks and recreation magazine, so use that vacuum and dust, that is step one in making your house no matter what your price range is look like a million bucks step two is simple and yes like always it involves candles, what we want to do is create a focal point and no your focal point should be your giant flat screen TV, say you have a decorative vase you can accentuate the vase with a couple of nice candles pillar with a nice color and a good scent. Thank you I hope you like my tips and questions go to papabearcandles.weebly.com and fill out the comment card.

Pay it forward
We all have the mind set even if its buried some where where we see a little trinket and think of friends or family well think about it this way if just 100 people buy 1 of my 15 candles that means I will not be homeless so pay it forward people, my candles are great quality better then those ones that people will go to the chain stores and pay 30 bucks for one candle, and saving me from being on the streets also helps save this little blue orb we live on, so save my home and save the planet cause I only use renewable sources for my candles. Thank you

New day new drama
While I am doing everything I can to try and get everyone I know on board to support http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1206014254/the-worlds-first-pop-up-cookbook?ref=live so my friend/business partner Brandon Chadbourne can get his book started I am also thinking of new and exciting candles. I would like to take the information I got from the mug site I went to the other day and see if I can drum up some business to make some candles for those places, so say I get an order for a Denver candle I can make it scented mountain rain and make the candle broncos colors .

Fragrances
OK so we all have done this made a wonderful dinner curry or 20 clove garlic chicken, and while it makes our homes smell great while were cooking the scent can linger and, unless we are in gilroy California having our homes smell like garlic all the time not the best, also a turn off if your dating a vampire I'm just saying. So how to clear those out with out having to spraying some heavy scent to mask the other one, and this will also help those with allergies unless you have an allergy to citrus take the peels from lemon or orange, place them in a small pot on your stove top with some water about half way up the pot then place on a simmer you never want to let this come to a rolling boil cause this could be bad. So keep it at a simmer and leave it alone in a little bit the strong Oder will be gone replaced by a gentle citrus scent once that is done to keep the scent from coming back and well to help your disposal if you have one throw the peels down the disposal and turn the water and the disposal on, if you have a compost just throw the peels on your compost. If those options wont work don't leave the citrus peels in the open they have absorbed the Oder's and will release them back into the air if you leave them out. Thank you for reading have a great day.

International
Well I have a small following I looked at the stats and someone from Germany looked at my blog that's kind of cool. I am thinking of new and exciting candles to make I went to a page yesterday that has mugs from all over the US states and city's I figured I could get mugs from there and make a series of candles for the different city's maybe I will advertise that on my website and see if I get any bites from people, my next venture for that will be sports mugs I live in Colorado and once you decide to make residency her you have to pledge your love to the broncos so I figured I could make some broncos candles maybe some KC for my brother, maybe even make some mugs for those raiders fans out there.

relaxation
every once in a while we all want those calgon moments where we can just be relaxed and taken away, and with there being spa's everywhere now and the economy being tough, people are interested in bringing the spa experience home, which means bath salts, candles in the bathroom and aroma therapy, well those things are easier then you think, if you go to the store you are sure to find some special bath salts that are expensive but you can simply get some basic Epsom salt which is usually in the first aid area of your mega mart and it has the same effect candles well most of us have a few and that can add ambiance as well as aroma therapy and this can be done with out having to go to a chain store and buying a candle at 30 bucks a pop, and no you don't have to go for the sickly sweet scent of vanilla or clean laundry which may make you think of chores, lavender is a candle I sell and it is a wonderful candle for being beautiful as well as aroma therapy, it will relax you and you will get swept away, so throw some Epsom salt in your bath light up the lavender candle and turn down the lights, don't forget to pop in a movie or something to occupy any kids or spouse you might have so you can have some you time.
