Here is what I came up with....

National and international days help you to

Learn more about your world
Learn what is important to others so you can become more tolerant and accepting
Encourage you to give support to their cause
Help your kids grow in awareness of some of these things
Give attention to some things in your life you make not think about rectifying or preparing for otherwise
Have some fun!

Lots of good reasons why you should celebrate or at least learn about them. I'm going to have a go..Will you?

Friendship Week

Friendship week

A friend is someone you know. How close you are to that friend is determined by how much of each other you share.

It takes chance interaction and expression/discussion common experience or interest to be a friend and it needs to be reciprocal.

It takes some giving of spare time, sharing of interests and hobbies and sharing of resources to be a good friend and it needs to be reciprocal.

It takes deliberate giving of your precious time and giving generously of your resources and sharing your hopes and dreams to be a close friend and it needs to be reciprocal.

It takes sacrificial giving of your own time as theirs, giving of resources even sometimes above your own needs, sharing of your most intimate thoughts and feelings, and forgiving to be an intimate friend and it needs to be reciprocal.

In order to have friends, you have to be a friend….and how many friends you have and how close you are to those friends is directly related to how much you are prepared to give.

Friendship week is a great time to reflect on your ability and willingness to give.

Flameless Candles

Flameless Candles
Flameless candles are perfect for adding the glow of candlelight safely and beautifully.

Every day we hear in the news of house fires caused by an unattended candle. It is of extreme importance that you never burn a candle unless you will be around.

If you have a display that needs to be lit and on display all the time a battery operated LED pillar candle or and electric candle are the better alternative.

Personally, I dont like the artificial-ness of battery candles but they do have their place.

If you intend to use candles with a naked flame, please follow a few simple steps that will prevent the unthinkable...a fire in your home.....
  • Use a hurricane holder to protect the flame or
  • Ensure your candleholder has a wide stable base
  • Keep candles away from curtains and other flammable items
  • Keep candles out of breezes
  • Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets
  • Set yourself an alarm to remind you to extinguish your candle before you leave the house or go to bed
  • Extinguish your candle flame with a proper candle snuffer. (Blowing it out can also reduce the effectiveness and long life of your candle).

Ivory Pillar Candles

IVORY PILLAR CANDLES
Ivory pillar candles are a popular wedding candle. The color ivory is often used for second marriages and for brides who have lived with their partner before marriage.

An Ivory pillar candle is a little softer and warmer than white. It still holds similar meanings but is richer, warmer and sometimes more classy

Ivory is the traditional Forteenth Wedding Anniversary gift. Many young families are struggling for finances with the financial pressures of children during this anniversary so an Ivory pillar candle is an inexpensive gift that will bring many hours of warm memories.

Pearl is the traditional Thirtieth Wedding Anniversary gift so an Ivory pillar candle with some pearl accents is a fabulous elegant gift.

White Pillar Candles

White Pillar Candles
White pillar Candles are the most versatile and most popular candle. White symbolizes innocence, purity, goodness, cleanliness and virginity which is why in the West it is the most common color for brides to wear and the most common candle color used at weddings.

Churches and community groups also use white pillar candles for ceremonies and vigils. In some cultures white is a color of mourning.

Whatever them you have at home white should go with it and don’t be afraid to use it with other color candles. White pillar candles mixed with light pastel color candles makes your display look more fun and energetic. It makes the pastels stand out more. At Christmas the reds and greens can get a bit heavy, so mix in some white pillar candles with your red and green pillar candles for a lighter, softer effect.

Noone should be without a white pillar candle. They are so versatile!

Brown Pillar Candles

Brown pillar candles are most commonly used at thanksgiving. Teamed with oranges and yellows they can make very warm and welcoming Fall displays.

Brown symbolizes earthiness, warm heartedness, steadfastness, honesty and dependability. A good alternative color for corporate logos and color themes. Where a black pillar candle is at home in the formal scene, brown is more friendly and casual unless teamed with black.

Brown pillar candles are a stunning addition to the minimalist theme especially amongst the right hues of grey. More commonly brown pillar candles are used in country and rustic themes.

Brown scented pillar candles come in the most amazing fragrances from chocolate, coffee, gingerbread, patchouli and all kinds of bakery scents. Just fabulous for Thanksgiving!

Orange pillar candles are often used for fun, freshness and happiness. They can be a great Summer time candle because orange and other citrus scented pillar candles bring a welcoming fresh aroma to a house tired of winter.

Orange stimulates mental activity and appetites. It is a great alternative to the more common red dining area. Orange pillar candles are attention getters in any theme.

And of course, Thanksgiving would not be complete without an orange pillar candle amongst your Fall decorations. Orange is found in the leaves of fall and in much of the autumn produce. Because orange is a great appetite stimulant, an orange pillar candle is perfect for those fabulous Thanksgiving dinners.

Black and Grey Pillar Candles

Black Pillar Candles
Black pillar candles are generally used for formal occasions. Used with a gold candleholder they are just sheer elegance. Black makes other colors appear brighter so whatever color theme you have in your home black will make it stand out. A rich red wall in a dining area is contrasted spectacularly with a black pillar candle.

The most stunning wedding party I ever saw, the women were dressed in fire orange and the men were dressed in black with orange cumberbunds and lapel flowers. The reception tables were graced with black pillar candles with a delicate orange ribbon tied around them. The combination is not something you might think of for a wedding but the effect was amazing and memorable!

Black pillar candles of course are also used in gothic and medieval themes.

Whilst not widely used, black pillar candles have an awesome impact.


Grey Pillar Candles
Grey Pillar candles are really at home oin the modern minimalist theme decor. Whilst lots of grey can be associated with morning and sadness, a touch of grey gives a touch of class.
