When it comes to a romantic date, you need a setting to match. If you want to make things more romantic, you could look at accessories that will add to the feeling. Many love the feeling that flowers and candles add to romance.

There is something about candlelight that is so soothing and relaxing. In fact, you can go one better and make the mood more romantic with colored fragrant candles. Alluring as these may be, they can turn out to be costly when used on a regular basis. Making one’s own fragrant, colorful candles to enjoy, is a good way to go, without the high cost.

Gather up all of your old candles and place all of them in one container, then place this container inside of another large container that has water in it and then place it on a fire. The water will boil and melt the wax nevertheless do not put the vessel containing the wax directly on the fire as this may prove to be hazardous. In a situation where you don’t have enough candles, purchase some new ones in bulk quantities so that you are able to keep the cost down and it will definitely be a whole lot cheaper than the store’s exorbitant prices.

Aluminum containers though hot to touch when wax is poured are the best. Old glasses and disposable paper cups can be used for simple tumbler-look varieties.

The wick can be made out of an old candle wick or out of white cotton straw. Make the wick taut by rubbing wax on it and then insert it into the melted wax in the mould. When you add the color to the wax, do it slowly as you keep mixing it so you can stop as soon as you get the color you want. Now pour the melted wax into the mould and insert the wick slowly so it goes down to the bottom.

Melt wax in various containers and add different colors to them if you would like to make candles with layers of multi colors. Make sure that the mould you choose for a multicolored candle is tall which allows the layers to show but the manner in which you pour the different colors is important. The colored wax must be poured into the container after the first layer has cooled off. You need to do this if you don’t want to end up with an awful colored candle.

Fragrance must be added after the color as the last step, as any additional stirring and heating can cause loss of fragrance.

Fragrances are widely available, ranging from floral like rose and jasmine to lemon grass, tea tree and musk. Put the mould in the freezer after you have added the color, fragrance and the wick so that the candle can be taken out easily.

Is your “baby” about to turn 16? Time sure does fly doesn’t it? I remember when my oldest was just a baby and now she’s a junior in college. My second daughter just turned 16 and it was fun to throw her a Sweet 16 Party%.

Since we live in Florida and my daughter’s birthday is in May, we went with a beach themed Sweet 16 party and had beach theme decorations and party favors. You can choose a fantastic theme for your party depending on where you live and what month you will be celebrating the birthday.

Beach themes are always very popular and easy to do during the summer months. Kids love a pool party, beach party or any party that is around water. Choose beach themed Sweet 16 Party Themes and decorations to carry the fun theme through the whole party.

For the child that has always been the princess, what better theme than a Fairytale Cinderella party theme. Take your decorating cue from the movies you’ve seen with princesses. Cinderella wore a blue and white dress. Baby blue and white is an easy theme to recreate with bows, ribbons, birthday cake and more. Blue is also one of the most popular colors for the Quince court. Party favors for a Cinderella themed event would be carriage candle favors or Cinderella’s slipper elegantly crafted from crystal. What guest wouldn’t love to receive one of these party favors?

Butterfly themed parties are also very popular and allow you to be creative in your colors. Is your favorite color orange? Imagine all your decorations in a brilliant orange with butterflies gracefully flowing overhead. Birthday cakes designed with butterflies that look like they’ve just touched down for a taste of the sweet icing. Butterfly party favors such as butterfly place card holders at each guest’s seat or butterfly key chains would provide your guests with a thank you memento they can use at home.

Is the Sweet 16 party party going to be held in the cooler Fall or Winter months? Take advantage of the holidays and incorporate that theme into your party. Party in October? What fun a costume party would be. November? Use the beautiful colors of chocolate brown, rust, and yellow to create decorations so beautiful you won’t want the party to end. December? Decorate in the traditional Christmas or Hanukah color schemes – sure to get the party rolling. Party favors can also be tied to the holidays. Autumn leaves bookmarks are perfect for October or November. Winter wonderland inspired gel candle favor would be a lovely gift for December and January parties.

Tying your sweet 16 party favors and decorations to the time of the year makes it easy and fun to decorate for the party.

Rick was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary.   His wife was really angry. She told him “Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less than 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!”

The next morning Rick got up early and left for work.  When his wife woke up she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.  Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, and brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.

Rick has been missing since Friday. Please pray for him.
