happy sunday

So I am pulling for wed of next week for a full launch of the pay site I have pictures of some candles to upload I am making some more samples today for loading the great thing about samples is I can recycle them for other projects of my own. I thank my friend for giving me an idea of flame candles they are interesting to make and once I am successful I will post a pic of one.

tip of the day
good smells
In these days where the air in our homes is 90% worse then the air outside we are surround by stink and dust motes and just gross things, indoor allergies are horrible, and we want our homes to be clean but we also want them to smell nice cause that sterile hospital smell is not always prefered, but most of us don't want the air so saturated with fragrance that we taste is so where is the balance, can we get away with a couple candles or one of those plug in things. Well lets start with those plug in things they are oil in a container with a warmer at the top and some have a fan to help disperse the fragrance I would be lying if I didn't say that I have owned and use such products even thought about making something like this for people using standard warmers cause it would be easy to do, but a few months ago I moved and when I did I had to repaint my old walls where I had used those plugin things a lot and I was discusted by the discoloration of the walls it was bad and at that point I realized that such measures arnd any better for the air quality then simply spraying the masking the oders, its adding chemicals to the air, and as for candles if used properly and safely they do the same thing, unfortunlatly there is no way around adding things to the air so there are a few suggestions to help, first make sure that the air filters in your home are good and not caked with dust then you want to make sure if you have carpeting you vaccum your home or carpeted areas of your home twice a week unless you have like a monster vaccum from like 1985 modern vaccums have filters upon filters to help remove stuff from the carpet and not spit it back into the surrounding air, if your allergies are bad you can get a air filter or try a humidifer, interesting thing if the air is moist what happens is the forign particles will be likely to do two things, first they will become larger making it so that they wont cause allergies cause they cant make it into the system cause they are too large, second and the more likely they will become sturated with the moisture in the air and simply fall to the ground making it easy to clean up. So what do we do, well no matter what if we add fragrance to the air particals are going to be the air, fragrance is simply a chain of hydrocarbons bonded together, so a few suggestions, a warmer get a container candle and a warmer that way you can get the fragrance with out dealing with soot from burning the candle another suggestion, and something I am currently doing in my home and have done for years, and can use simple ingredents most of the time present in most homes so lets say you love the scent of apple pies well all you need to do is get a small pot add water some left over apple cores or peals add some lemon juice or leave it out some clove cinnimon and some confectioners sugar then put it on your stove top and turn it to its lowest setting or you can use this on a warmer what will happen is the liquid will come to a simmer and the fragrance will evaporate into the air the great thing about this is that if you want to continue to use that fragrance just add more water these should last you up to to weeks if you continue to add more water then simply clean out the pot and you are able to create a different fragrance, say you love Itialian food then you can put water in the pot with chopped onion some garlic and some Itialian spices and your home will smell like the kitchen of your favorite restarunt expand your mind and you will be able to make wonderful scents.
