Forever In Search Of my Muse

~~~~ i all most always have some form of fragrance going in the house be it a candle, incense, or oils burning. i love the way they make the house feel so relaxed and soothing to others as they enter. i always get my incense, oils and some candles from The Scented Realm and the rest of my candles from either Yankee or Colonial Candles .

~~~~ i love the way that i can burn a candle from Yankee Candles for hours at a time and they burn clean and true. Plus their fragrance just fills the whole house. Right now i have their Blueberry Scone candle burning and it is just amazing. my whole house smells so warm and soothing. my other favorites from Yankee are Storm Watch, MidSummer's Night, Holiday Twinkle, and Sparkling Snow. Colonial Candles are almost as good and i love their Blueberry Vanilla and Fine Merlot. They smell just divine when they are burned as well and fill the whole house with a wonderful aroma that i can just sit in and enjoy for hours.

~~~~ As for my incense and oils that i love so much it is easier to name the brands that i love then the individual fragrances because there are just so many of them: Wild Berry, Gonesh, Traditional, Morning Star, Airs, and Nature Nature. Then there are the oils i use several fragrances from all three types of oils: Essential - direct from the plant nothing added, Premium - made from essential oils but in a carrier of either jojoba or soy and can be blended to make you think you are smelling something else, and then Fragrance - synthetic oils made to smell like just about any fragrance you can think of that someone would like. i get all of my Oils and Incense from The Scented Realm and have for years. i love the selection that they have and the quality of all their incense is always the best. i am not just saying this because i used to work for them but because i know what they went through to pick each brand that they carried and how many brands they turned down because the fragrance was not true or had a bad after smell.

~~~~ i just adore having something lit and sending off a wonderful aroma in home as i curl up with a good book, listen to some music, sit down to write, clean the house, or just watch tv and veg out. i have always loved having my enviroment fragranced by something that just smells so inviting and soothing. It is a great tool to help one do just about everything from relax, to get moving, to be inspired.
