    Hope you are a good week. A lot of times we neglect our selves for others' happiness and comfort.Let's take care of our selves so that we can positively influence others and make a difference in the lives of others.

     With that thought, I want to share some seriously cool videos of candle making.I just love the way the  burning candle flame flickers and creates drama in the surroundings.Nothing can be  more soothing than a room filled with scented candles or just burning candles.The dim light of the candles creates an atmosphere of calm and serenity and you add some scented candles;it works like magic for reducing our stress levels.
