 Nowadays, candles are often used for aromatherapy and less common for illumination. And the search for choices in scented candles is very easy through the use of internet. Bu t with so many variety that are now available in the market, it can sometimes get confusing which scent will suit you most.

It’s a good thing that the assortment in scents now comes in the form of tea lights. This allows you to try various candle fragrances without having to spend so much on huge sized candles. Though a scented tea light candle can last for a shorter time than the bigger ones, but then if you happen to be dissatisfied with its scent, at least there’s nothing much that will be wasted.

1. Illuminate paths, driveways, pool decks, stairs and dark corners with paper bag lanterns made from tea lights and brown paper lunch bags. Don’t forget to place few rocks inside each lantern to serve as anchors.
2. Tie decorative paper Chinese lanterns, or other inexpensive multi-colored or bright white sting lights through railings and pergolas.
3. Place candles, tea lights or votives on buffet tables and bars. But do keep candles in a safe container or candle holder.
4. Place citronella candles around seating areas to deter insects. Make sure they are not too close to the food, as the smell can overpower flavors.
5. Float candles in pool, bird baths or ponds as this will enhance the appeal and can give illuminating effects on those certain areas.

Tea light

Particular fragrances can be matched to any mood you want to create. They can be perfectly combined with candles that emit wonderful scents. Fill your home with scented tea light candles when holding a dinner party or celebrating a special occasion. These items are conveniently small so they don’t have the danger of tipping over or getting in anyone’s way in general.
Here are some decorating ideas using tea light candles:

~Float them in bowls or vases of liquid. Add some flower petals or a slice of fruit like lemon or lime to float along.
~Insert tea lights in hollow items like a mini pumpkin, or the waxy outer skin of a citrus fruit. This will create lovely glows around a table or room.
~Put them inside plain glass votive holders and enjoy these classic and elegant additions to the table.
~Line them up on window sills or the edges of stair step


A Time for Reflection

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Even if you can’t be with your own family you find that friends (or even strangers) become your family. Sharing thankfulness with others is a uniquely satisfying experience.

After spending the day in the traditional fashion I decided that a warm bath and a moment of reflection was in order. Of course this ritual demands the luxury of aromatherapy provided by a Vanilla Hazelnut soy candle, one of my personal favorites.

And so, at the end of a perfect day, my eyes wandered to the nearby mirror where the gentle light from my candle revealed a reflection… the face of a very contented, very thankful person.

May you all be so blessed!

It can be used to decorate any table setting or garden setup. Tea light candles can be placed inside luminaries or colorful glasses to set the ambience of a place. This candle is also used in ceramic aromatherapy oil burners.
