Voluspa Candles
Have a look at these candles! With scent names like Mandarino Cannella, Crisp Champagne, Atelier Provence Lavende, Black Fighe and Chypre, Vervaine Olive Leaf pr Pomegranate Patchouli you start to dream. These candles have been created by Troy and Traci Arntsen since 1999 and not only they are wonderful candles with so many exotic scents but the whole package is basically a work of art. On top of that their candles are made of coconut wax therefore they do not have the issues of more ordinary paraffin candles.

Summer will be over before we know it and soon it will be time to light candles again, I never light my candles in summer as here it is light until after 10 o’clock but comes fall I will be back to have a look in my box where I keep all my candles. Thinking about candles it is also important to have the right candle holders and there is nothing better for fall that a tree branch candle holder.

Tree branches can also be used horizontally to become a candle holder as in this case. There is also a longer version ideal for dinner tables with many guests, you can use it outdoor or indoor as you...

Very clever indeed and I love the brief animation with Pac Man in it. Apparently it took two weeks to make this short video and lots of tealight candles. And a lot of patience but I think it was worth it at the end. If you have not seen this video yet, you should have a look at it now.
Mango Scented Candles
The mango is a plant native to India famous for its large and fleshy fruit. This fruit can be eaten as it is or used in cooking, it has also become a popular flavours for drinks and ice creams.
