Cleaning a Wax Spill
If you ever spill
candle wax on your clothes or carpet, try this technique for
removing it. First, allow the wax to completely harden. Second,
remove as much of it as possible by scraping it off. Third,
place a few paper towels over the wax and carefully iron the
paper towels on low. As the heat melts the wax, the paper towels
will soak it up. Candles made from soy and vegetable wax are
water-soluble. You can clean soy and vegetable wax off of any
surface with warm water and soap.
Organic oils to help alleviate allergies
The body produces allergic reactions to substances that it
believes are harmful, whether they are harmful in fact or not.
Symptoms of an allergic reaction include sneezing, a runny nose,
itchy or watery eyes, congestion, rashes, blisters, and
swelling. Allergies may be caused by chemicals, food, dust,
medications, grass, foods, pollution, mold, soap, and other
substances. Many medications, both prescription and
nonprescription, are available to ease the symptoms. Some people
even use organic
essential oils to help alleviate some of these symptoms.
Stimulate your senses with a massage
An aromatherapy
massage oil will stimulate the senses and enhance
lubrication. The ease with which your hands glide over the other
person's skin is called the "slip" by professional masseurs. A
lightweight oil with a light scent is best for giving an erotic
massage. You want your hands to slip smoothly over the muscles
and skin of your lover yet still be able to grip when you want
to. An oil that is water or vegetable based is easily absorbed
by the skin and great for lubrication. It doesn't leave you and
your partner feeling greasy or sticky afterwards.
Soy candles are environmentally friendly and biodegradable
Made from a vegetable product, the
soy candle is
environmentally friendly and biodegradable. The wicks do not
contain any metals; only paper and cotton wicks are used. Not
only can you preserve your air quality with a scented soy
candle, you can enhance it to your benefit. If you make your own
candles, you'll be pleased to know that cleanup is easy with
scented soy candles. All it takes is soap and water. While soy
candles can be made in the same kinds of metal molds or milk
cartons as paraffin wax candles, they are often made in Mason
jars. These jars can be covered to intensify the scent and keep
the dust off the top. You can also cover the lid with a gingham
circle cut out with pinking shears, tie it on with a ribbon, and
tuck some dried flowers into the ribbon to give it country
charm.
