Lampe Avenue

2007-08-07T13:53:00.000-05:00

NEW FRAGRANCE OILS from LAMPE AVENUE fragrancing lamps help purify and fragrance the air by converting the lamp oil fuel into ozone, which removes unpleasant odors from the air such as pet odors, tobacco smoke, cooking smells, and stale odors. The beauty of a Lampe Avenue fragrance lampe is that it does not "mask" odors with fragrance like scented candles, it actually helps clean the air and the fragrance lasts for hours and hours!
HINT: have you tried using your Lampe Avenue lampe in the area where your cats kitty litter box is, it works great... the fragrance lamp freshens the space in about 30 minutes, and the fragrance lasts for many hours.
NEW FRAGRANCES are now available:
Green Tea & Lemongrass creates balance and harmony with a therapeutic blend of calming green tea and invigorating lemongrass
Oscar Night COMING SOON TO A ROOM IN YOUR HOME... Please hold your applause, as you experience this dramatic fragrance with far too much to mention. (Ripe fig, amber, musk, crystallized vanilla sugar, and diamonds, blown kisses and pageant waves just to name a few! ) Sure to bring Standing Ovations!!
Sugared Almond Fill your home with this incredibly sweet scent of almond extract, vanilla, and sugar! A confectionary delight…
Creme Brulee EXCEPTIONAL!!! This rich creamy vanilla custard topped with caramelized sugar glaze will satisfy, yet leave you longing for more... of this deliciously calorie free treat!
Hmmmm... wonder how Sugared Almond would smell mixed with Haute Cinnamon like the holiday treats we love so much... I'll let you know after I try it! Be sure to only mix Lampe Avenue oils with each other, never mix brands due to different formulas. My first private blend of Lavender Luxe and Vanilla Indulgence is lovely... discovered that combination from a French bath gel that was my favorite! Remember if a fragrance is a little too strong for your personal taste, Clear the Air lamp oil fuel is an excellent to dilute heavy ones.
SAMPLE FRAGRANCES: If you'd like few sample cards with the new fragrances or a few others you haven't tried yet, just let me know in the Customer Comments line when you order fragrance oils or lamps or call toll free 1-877-844-9400 to request them to be added to your order. I purchased small zip bags to put the cards in to keep the sample fragrances separate. To clear your nose between each fragrance, just smell some coffee beans and the fragrances won't be confusing! I'm happy to help explain use of Lampe Avenue fragrance lamps if they are new for you or its not quite working like you thought it should or to help you with fragrance selections. HAPPY FRAGRANCING!

Beanpod Candle JAR USES

2006-10-13T23:19:00.000-05:00

RECYCLE CANDLE JARS - I love these jars for small storage canisters for the cupboard and the refrigerator! Beanpod candle jars are a heavier quality that are great for storing food or craft/kids supplies. Soy wax washes out of the jars with soap & water then run them through the dishwasher to remove the scent from the lid seal. Use them to store baking supplies like raisins & nuts, home-made bread crumbs etc. Plus they are great in the fridge for leftover sauces etc. I especially like the 16oz size jars to store condiments like the spicy sandwich dressing I make by blending light miracle whip or mayo and Tobasco Chipotle Pepper sauce... its yummy, inexpensive and you can make it as hot as you like! If you buy larger sizes of mayo, pickles etc, these jars look good on the table, have a good seal and are a nice heavy quality.

Beanpod Candles Tips & Ideas

2006-10-13T22:26:00.000-05:00

Beanpod Candles and Soy Melter Beads for the holidays have a new Toasted Hazelnut smells YUMMY... just like the real thing. Choose from Soy Melter Beads, Tea Lights and a pretty decorator jar candle shaped like an acorn! Or choose an apple jar with MacIntosh Apple candle or a pumpkin jar with Pumpkin Pie candle with the wonderful combination of pumpkin, cinnamon, cloves and sugar. To make it even better, sprinkle some whipped cream soy melter beads on the top for a yummy no cal dessert! Add chocolate or vanilla coffee and whipped cream soy melter beads to the Toasted Hazelnut for a new Tiramisu. Mix Hot Apple Cider, Cinnamon Spice and Nutmeg soy beads to make Spiced Apple Cider.

Beanpod Soy Candles & Melter Beads

2006-10-08T21:23:00.000-05:00

Beanpod Candles and Soy Beads from Soy Basics are made of 100% pure stabilized soy wax that burns at lower temperatures, resulting in longer burn times! You'll love Beanpod Candles beautifully blended fragrances, strong scent throw, and candles that burn up to 40% longer than most paraffin wax candles, plus soy wax does not produce toxic soot like petroleum based paraffin wax! Soy Wax Beads for burners, melters and warmers can be custom blended into your own fragrance recipes or check our website for Soy Beads fragrance recipes. Another great use for Soy Beads is to "season" a candle with a sprinkle of soy beads to change the scent temporarily... no more getting tired of the same scent of those large 25oz jar candles! Be sure to check out our warmers, melters and burners and new jar candle accessory base and lid set in several finishes from Drake Designs.
