A Nice Source of Fragrance:

Candles can come in a variety of different scents, and there are even special scents hat match specific seasons like the fall and Christmas.

Once lit, the candles can emit nice scent in any room, which is a much nicer alternative to air freshener.

A Simple Way to Decorate the Home:

There are many different kinds of candle holders that are available to buy.

A woman that wants to really spruce up her home can choose any kind of candle holder she wants to add a touch of beauty and elegance to any room of her house.

Low Light Can Be Calming:

Bright light from fluorescent bulbs can be hard on the eyes, and can even cause headaches and other health problems.

After a long day of being under the fluorescent lights at work, a few lit candles around her home can help get rid of the headache and make a working woman feel a lot better.

A Nice Addition to Bath Time:

Bath time is a special time in which a woman soaks in a tub of scented water and lets go of the stresses of her day from work or even from her family.

To keep her in the right frame of mind, a woman can light a few candles around her tub, or placed on the bathroom sink, to help her stay relaxed while she is having her bath.

Women like to do exercises that do more than just keep the body fit, but to also ease the mind.

Exercises like yoga and pilates can keep both the mind and body in perfect harmony, and adding soft candlelight can also help a woman stay nice and calm, which is going to help her exercise better.

Colors Available to Match any Decor:

Some women are very picky about the kind of colors that are in their home because of how they have chosen to decorate it. Candles do come in a variety of different colors, and a woman can find a candle that will match the style in which she has chosen to decorate her house.

If there is not the exact color of candle available, a woman can even get a candle custom made using any color that she wants in any scent that she chooses.

Available Anywhere for a Low Price:

Candles are available anywhere, and can range in price from a few dollars up to $20 to $30 dollars depending on the brand and type of candle that it purchased.

There are some candles that can cost a lot, but most candles are relatively inexpensive, but even the highest priced candle is still considered to be very affordable.

Make Autumn Inspired Crafts

Apples, pumpkins and brown leaves are all common during the autumn months. Use them to create crafts that are perfect for inside and outside of the home.

They don’t have to cost a lot of money. You could dry out some apples to use them or make them out of felt and paper. Rustle up the dried leaves that fall from the trees and get creative with them.

Use Pumpkins Inside and Outside of the House

Jack o’Lanterns are popular for Halloween but pumpkins are great for other types of crafts—and food!

Add the aroma around your home or decorate your porch with this fruit. You will soon feel like winter is just around the corner but in a good way.

Bring the Outside Into Your Home

Decorate your home with leaves, branches and other items you find outside—of course, make sure they’re clean and not full of insects! Adding a rustic feel to your home will bring the autumn season alive.

You don’t have to do it too much. You could add a decoration on each of your windowsills or put things around the doors.

Use Candlelight for the Atmosphere

Another great option is candlelight. As the nights get darker earlier, you want to find ways of saving on the electricity bill while adding atmosphere.

You could use them around your bath to unwind after a long day or at the dinner table for a romantic atmosphere with your partner. Make sure you put the candles out afterwards though for safety reasons!

Put Flowers into Jars

Flowers start to die out during these months but there are some around the whole time. To add a bit of colour, add some petals into glass jars and place them around your room.

They don’t need to be real petals; there are plenty of fabric and silk ones around. Real petals do look nicer and add the aroma but they die out and will need replacing regularly.

Add the Plants and Flowers to Your Garden

Don’t just focus on your home; add a touch of autumn to your garden. Plant flowers and plants that are designed for growing in the autumn months—there are some!

You could add pumpkin seeds to grow your own or have beautiful flowers that are orange, brown or green!

Get the Blankets Out

Add blankets to various parts of your home. It may not be cold enough yet but it will get there.

Besides, they just add a touch of warmth to the home and are great for sitting on (instead of sticking to leather couches!). You can knit them yourself or buy them at affordable prices if you need to.

Leaves in picture frames:

A woman that wants to decorate her home with leaves has to go leaf gathering. The best specimens, meaning the leaves that are the biggest and most beautiful, can be preserved forever using picture frames.

To complement the leaves, the frames can be in fall colors as well to match the leaves, and then the frames can be hung in any room of the house.

Creating a leaf chain with string, ribbon, or yarn:

Back in the old days, people would put popcorn on strings, and then hang them on their Christmas tree.

However, for the fall, leaves can be used in the same way, but draped around the house. Leaves of every color can be attached to ribbon, string, or even a piece of yarn by attaching the stems with hot glue.

The leaves can then be decorated with a little bit of glitter to add a touch of sparkle to the leaf chain.

Gluing leaves to candles:

Small leaves of bright colors can be pressed into books to be made as flat as possible. Once the small leaves are flat, they can be glued to candles of any shape and color.

The candles with their leaves can then be displayed on bookshelves, on fireplace mantles, or even on coffee tables as a nice center piece.

Pumpkins and leaves used together:

Pumpkins are a popular decoration for the fall, and those plain pumpkins can look even better with a little decoration.

Small brightly colored leaves can be glued to the surface of the pumpkin using glitter glue to help make the pumpkin look even fancier.

Tree branches in a vase:

Tree branches that are full of leaves can be taken from the tree, or the branches may be lying on the ground at the base of the tree.

Once the branches have been gathered, a vase can be used to display the branches. The vase can be made from clear class, or colored glass that can come in any number of popular fall colors.

Creating a leaf wreath:

Styrofoam comes in a variety of different shapes including wreathe shaped. Using the Styrofoam, leaves can be gathered and then glued around the shape until no more Styrofoam is visible.

The wreathe can then be hung on doors, over the fireplace, or even on the walls.

A wooden bowl with leaves:

A centerpiece can be made using a dark wooden bowl, fall leaves, acorns, and cinnamon sticks. Some fall colored candles can be placed in the middle of the bowl, and then the bowl can be placed on the dinner table or on the coffee table.

Another option for the wooden bowl is to just use potpourri, cinnamon sticks, and leaves to make a nice decoration that will fill the home with the wonderful scents of fall.

Gather the supplies:

To make homemade candles, a woman is going or need a few things like wax, wicks, a double boiler pot, a thermometer, and whatever scents a woman wants for her candles.

For beginner candle makers, paraffin wax is easiest to work with, and also is available at any store that specializes in hobbies or arts and crafts.

Prepare the wax:

Wax can come in a variety of different forms from small chips to giant blocks.

If the wax comes in big blocks, then a woman is going to need to cut the block into smaller chunks that are going to fit into her double boiler.

Decide on the scent:

A woman can choose from any scent she has chosen.

Scented oil is available at a hobby store because oils with scents can also be used in oil burners that can plug in or that can be used in a special ring that can fit around a light bulb.

Melt the wax:

The double boiler pan is going to melt the wax, but if that pan is not available then a larger pot of boiling water can be used and a smaller pot with the wax can be placed inside of it.

The thermometer can be used to make sure that the temperature of the wax does not go higher than 390 degrees.

Decide on the container:

Some women like to use conventional things to use as candle molds such as cupcake tins or mason jars.

The container chosen is going to have to be prepared by being cleaned thoroughly and also dried thoroughly.

The wick should also be prepared, and should be at least two to three inches longer than the top of the container.

Pour the wax:

After the wax is melted, it can then be poured into the container. Typically, the wax is placed in the center of the container so the poured wax can form around it.

The wick has to be held as straight as possible so the wax will form around it properly.

Let the wax cool:

For the next few hours, the wax is going to cool and harden. Once the candle is formed, it can be popped out of the container, and the wick can be trimmed down to a more normal level for a candle.

A woman can now set her finished candle in a decorative holder or if it is in a jar, keep it in the jar and placed on her mantle or wherever else she wants to put it.

The candle can then be lit and enjoyed, and a woman will have saved herself a lot of money by creating her own candle that she can burn all through the fall and winter.

Candles around the house:

During the months of summer, it is too hot to light candles. However, when the fall weather comes, it is time to bring out the candles for both their color and scent.

Candles in the fall colors can be a nice addition to every room of the house, especially a bathroom where the scent can help keep the bathroom smelling fresh and clean.

A wreath on the front door:

Nothing is more welcoming to friends and relatives than seeing a big wreath on the front door.

There are many different varieties of wreathes that are contain the deep dark colors of fall and have things on them like Indian corn, multicolored leaves, and small pumpkins.

The best place to find wreathes like these are hobby stores, who should now be bringing out all the colorful thing for the change in season.

The fireplace mantle for decorations:

A fireplace is the perfect place to display your love of the fall.

On top of the mantle, one can place candles, small pumpkins, or pictures that are relevant to the season like the family picking pumpkins or the family portrait around the Thanksgiving turkey.

Furniture covers with style:

If your furniture is not a color that complements the fall, then there is something that can be done rather than just buying a whole new set of furniture every time the seasons change.

Many department and retail stores will carry furniture covers that can slip over all the different pieces of furniture in the home.

Art on the wall:

Some women have a variety of artwork that they hang on the wall dung certain time of year.

While the summer art consists of the ocean, surfers, sunny skies, and other images of summer, the art for the fall can be darker pieces.

When the fall comes, the colorful artwork depicting summer days can be replaced with trees wearing their fall leaves, or pumpkins blooming under a dark sky.

The front porch:

The porch is the perfect empty canvas for a woman who wants to get creative when the fall comes.

The porch can be decorated with typical images of fall like yellow corn stalks, scarecrows, pumpkins, and even bales of hay that can range in size from small to large.

Potpourri in individual rooms:

There is a variety of potpourri scents that come out exclusively for the fall.

A woman can choose scents like apples, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and other wonderful scents that will fill the home with the wonderful smells of the changing season.

Everyone that visits the home will feel very calm and comfortable breathing in the calming scents and being surrounded by the colorful leaves, pumpkins, and dark colors of autumn.

Start by getting ready to clean. You will find that you are going to be able to accomplish your goals a lot faster if you have everything that you need in one location. As you work on gathering up the items that you need, you will want to pick up the things around you as you go.

So, if you are making your way from room to room gather cleaning supplies you will want to be picking up stray items as you go. This is like doing your cleaning in double time and it is very effective.

Another tip is to stop doing your cleaning room by room. This only takes more time because you will be continually taking things out, putting things away, misplacing what you need. It is always much faster for you if you just carry out one task at a time in every room.

In fact, you will see that if you are vacuuming the floors then you will want to do that in every room. Then you do not have to put the vacuum away and then get it out again later. The same is true if you are dusting around the house. Do all of your dusting at one time and then put the supplies away.

Now, if you need to carry out some quick cleaning for company that you were not expecting then you should consider what rooms they are going to be in the most. What are they going to see? There is no need to panic as you are not going to need to clean the entire house in a matter of minutes. Just focus on cleaning up the areas that are going to be seen.

You will be completely amazed by how nice and clean your home can look if you quickly dust and run the vacuum in that room. It gives the impression that you cleaned the entire house when you really did not. It also helps that room smell better as all of the dust particles and dirt that smell bad will be removed from the room. Spray some air freshener and then light a few candles. Your guests will be really impressed and it did not take you that long at all.

Finally, make sure that you are purchasing household cleaning products that will not require you to scrub anything. There are plenty on the market that you can spray on and leave sitting. Then all you have to do is wipe everything off.

For this special day that is all about you, you need to relax, and the best way to do it is to draw yourself a bath. However, there are some ways that you can make your bath perfect. Here is more information on how to take the perfect bath.

The first secret to taking the perfect bath is to light some candles. You can place candles on the sink and toilet and light them to give the bathroom a nice low amount of light. Scientists have proven that low light can relieve stress and also make you feel more relaxed and at ease. You can pick some nice aromatherapy candles that give off a pleasant fragrance to make your bath extra special.

Time to draw your bath now, and you want to be sure you add a little fragrant oil to the water in addition to the bubbles. The best oil to choose is rose oil because it has been proven that the oil is good for your skin, and also the scent of roses is considered to be very relaxing. By the time your bath is over, your skin will be soft, smell great, and you will feel a lot more relaxed and stress free.

Some women like to have a little wine while they are in the bathtub. A nice red or white wine can be the perfect complement to your bath. A glass or two of wine can also help you relax. However, do not make the mistake of having more wine then you can handle because you are in a tub full of water, and you want to be sure you have your wits about you.

The last thing you want to do is to be intoxicated because you may fall down and get hurt, or you are at risk for drowning if you happen to doze off. Just a glass or two of wine is perfect, and you do not want to drink more than that.

You want to do your favorite activity while in the tub. Some women prefer to read, while others take the chance and listen to their favorite music. Whether it is a book or a CD player, you can lean back in the big tub full of fragrant water, sip your wine, and enjoy the time that is devoted just to you and your peace of mind.

You work hard to take care of everyone. However, once in a while, you need to set aside a day of relaxation just for you. By taking a bubble bath, you are taking care of your own well-being because every woman deserves a little time to herself now and then.
