To decide on just a few candles is like choosing between eating chocolate and having lots of chocolate to eat With so many scents to choose from, it's next to impossible to choose just one. This is part two of several articles to follow on choosing candle and fragrance scents for your home.

Having the perfect scent can vitalize my day and scents can improve ones mood. Citrus scents rejuvenate and create energy, lavender scents are calming, and holiday scents are reminiscent of home. And then theres the primordial magic of the flickering flame and poetry in certain scent combinations. So what do I use to renew myself? Home & Garden Party.

Here are some suggestions for scents that "fit" the months of November through February.

Blueberry Muffin: Along with Hot Cinnamon Rolls, this one will make you hungry! Soft, warm and delicious.

Christmas Memories: A little spicy, a lot warm and wonderful, this scent is a must for the holidays. I enjoy it burning with after-dinner coffee!

Bahama Breeze: This breath of fresh ocean air is most welcome during the doldrums of winter.

Crme Brule: This is perhaps my favorite fragrance because it is soft and creamy with a warm custard smell. Yummy!

Relax, Spearmint & Eucalyptus: Fresh, calming with a hint of mint, this is a very soothing scent to have going in the background.

Of course, my favorite way to diffuse scent throughout my home is to use the Home & Garden Party Fragrance Lamp. The lamp uses an alcohol-based oil and is wicked up to a heating stone. After allowing the stone to warm for about three minutes, you blow out the flame and enjoy pure, clean fragrance that will permeate an entire floor of your home. It is very useful ridding the house of the stuffy, heated smell of winter indoors and really adds a pleasant aroma.

With refills in spiced apple, lavender, creamy vanilla, citrus infusion, floral medley, woodland breeze and passion flower, theres at least one to please your nose and your visitors!

Lisa DeClue was raised on Long Island, NY, educated at U.C.S.D. & now resides in the Midwest with her husband & two sons. She is active in Women?s & Children?s Ministries at their church & is hopelessly caught in the fun of Scrapbooking.

Lisa has loved decorating since she was a little girl & is an avid fan of most of the shows on HGTV. These shows are popular because many people just don't know what to do to decorate their homes. They have ideas, but need a starting point & some direction along the way; but they really do know what they like & don't like. HGTV?s programs help guide them along the decorating path. They have increased the awareness of do-it-yourself possibilities & really opened up the desire for professional help, thereby adding to her business. She has learned through the school of hard knocks & has been around the ?home d?cor block? several times. Lisa offers her friends & customers an almost free "Decorator on call" service with a sliding scale: anything from a Diet Coke to lunch!

Lisa worked in marketing & selling since she was out of High School & was an Executive Secretary for over ten years. When she & her husband became pregnant, she suddenly found herself without a job, thus forcing her to be a Stay-At-Home-Mom. After their youngest was born, Lisa wanted to earn a little extra income & to keep her h& in the business world. A friend was having a Home & Garden Party & gave her a catalog. She was so impressed with the product & the fact that HGP is a Christian company from the top down that she signed up! Nowhere has Lisa ever worked with people of the high integrity & Christian values as the men & women of Home & Garden Party. It is so refreshing to not have to worry about any of the corporate world?s shifting values. Thanks to Home & Garden Party, Lisa has been able to put God first, Family second & Career third. She can augment her family income while she puts Brian & the boys first.

She is a Designer & Team Leader with Home & Garden Party. She is the owner of Decorating with HGPgal, an informative resource site for home d?cor, decorating tips & accessories, collaborative articles & a DecoForum. Lisa publishes a monthly decorating ezine with prize drawings & writes d?cor- & organizing-inspired articles.
