Decorate the Smallest Spaces for a Big Feel

InspireWhen you’re trying to decorate small rooms for your home, the key is functional candle accessories.
Simplify the room by adding small scented candles and functional candle accessories that not only look good, but serve a purpose. These items really go a long way in decorating a small space. Try these tips to make the most of your small space.
1. Define the Room’s Style/Theme/Purpose – By figuring out the type of space you want first, it will be easier to choose only those items that fit into the room’s style and space.
2. Simplify by Reducing Clutter – It’s already a small space, so adding more “stuff” or already having too much clutter can really ruin your room’s look and feel. Remove any items that don’t match your defined look for the room.
3. Use Mostly Functional Accessories – Accessories that not only look good, but serve a purpose, really go a long way in decorating a small space. Adding something like a Pod Warmer lends itself for a décor piece, but also brings a fresh fragrance to your smaller space.
Gold Canyon’s Pod Warmers offer a functional and fragrant way to enhance the ambience of your small space.

Swimming Lessons 2011

The girls took swimming lessons this summer. It was a blast, watching them learn how to make it to the edge and learn the basics of swimming. This is Emberlee standing in a shallow pool enjoying a day they called "Bubble Day" they had a bubble pit, and gave out little bottles of bubbles.

Jesse gets a hair cut!


Jesse was growing out her hair. She would never let me brush it so it would always get knotted in the back. So off it came, she didn't like it a first - but now she runs around Thanking me for cutting her hair. It looks great, frames her face excellently and it is easier to care for, a win/win situation.

Gold Canyon Candles sells citronella candles as well.

We got new bedroom furniture for the girls.


The girls had two twin beds and deceided that they wanted bunk beds. So we got full size top and bottom bunk beds. This furniture is quality furniture that they can use well into their college years and beyond. The beds come apart to form two full size beds, and they each got a dresser. They both love the bunk beds and go up on the top bunk to play.

Cleaning Candle Jars

GC_Host_BenefitsOffersBe thrifty, be green. Salvage glass candle jars and make them purposeful again turning them into unique holders or accent pieces. You can use empty jar candles, candle holders or candle accessories containers as places to store supplies in the office; as food containers for candy, spices, flour, sugar or tea bags in the kitchen; as storage for buttons, safety pins or craft items in the spare bedroom; as everyday containers for storing cotton balls, soaps or cotton swabs.
1. Only use this method of cleaning when 1/2” or less of wax remains in a candle jar. Turn oven to 200 degrees, place candle jar on a baking sheet and warm in the oven for 30 minutes or just until wax is liquefied. CAUTION: Candle jars will be hot to the touch.
2. Pour wax into a disposable heat safe container. Use a disposable towel to wipe out any remaining wax in the candle jar.
3. Squeeze Wax Remover into candle jar; wipe clean.
4. Spray candle jar with Gold Canyon’s natural cleaning product, Homeology™ All Purpose, rinse in hot water and dry.
