It is almost the time of year when we start closing all our windows, and dragging out those fall jackets. Kids are going back to school, and couples are beginning to prepare for the yearly "Holiday Hustle." No, it is not the funny dance your weird uncle did last year when he ate too much. It is the time of year when couples are so wrapped up in the holidays, school activities, politics, and work that they forget to make time for each other.
We all know the tune--you drag out decorations and spend a whole week putting them up(everyone tells you they look great) so that two weeks later you can take them back down (everyone tells tells you that you look tired). Like a broken record, the story replays numerous times over the various holidays in the spam of a few months. All the while shuffling the kids to school, answering your bosses constant questions, complaining about the price of gas, and trying to remember what important event/date you are forgetting. Oh, and don't forget about all the gifts we buy during the fall and winter months, birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, hostess gifts, and then there is the big gift giving exchange to consider in December. What about you though.. What about couple time?
As fall approaches, it seems everyone is buying candles if not for himself or herself, then as a gift to someone else. (The hostess, dear Aunt Sally, the babysitter, your neighbors, and your business associates are all probably going to get a candle as a gift between now and January 1st). However, that someone else should be our significant other, and the candle should be a Soy Massage Candle. Sure, they are Eco-Friendly, reduce our carbon footprint on the world, are natural and all that other good stuff...but most importantly Massage Candles are a great, and affordable way to spend some time with your significant other, or to simply pamper yourself. (Leave the plain Jane candle of the past to scent your home with).
Who would not want to come home one day when they were tired and have their significant other rub their back and legs with the warm massage oils from a soy massage candle? Sure it will leave your skin softer, but what about your relationship. Who could resist loving someone (preferably your significant other) more deeply for being kind and thoughtful enough to rub your stress away, and give your body warmth on a chilly day?
Go ahead and call me a hopeless romantic, but remember this: candlelight has been a huge part of Romance for many, many years. At sometime in your life candlelight has probably played a role in some larger romantic scene, i.e. asking someone to marry you, celebrating an accomplishment, enjoying a quite meal for two, and so on.. It is the equivalent of a moonlit stroll, but in the warmth and comfort of your own home. So ask yourself this. Are there signs of Romance in your home? If not, try giving your special someone a massage and see if it does not bring the smile that melts your heart, to their face.
If I got you to think “outside of the box” about candles, then I have done well.

You got me to think outside of the box. You make the thought easy to image. I relaxed after just reading your blog. Do you by chance write poetry, greeting cards, or other form of writings? You are probably a pro and I am probably sounding ignorant but you truly have a way with words, and expressing yourself.
You do have a way with words and gave me so many new ideas to use. I can't wait to use your candles with my ideas... thanks
