This week will be a busy one for me and will be out nearly every day. It means that I will have to be mindful if I am to get all that I want to do done.
This will be my last week of working Fridays so will no doubt need to establish a new routine in order to keep things running smoothly as possible. I assume it will take a few weeks to get things right.
Can you believe it has only been 3 weeks since Christmas? The saying that January is the longest 3 months of the year is certainly true for me at the moment.
I hope that what ever you do this week it is a great one.

I saw a thing where when your candles get down to low to burn ( they used a hair dryer and then the dryer gun to melt it) they poured the wax into silicone trays and then when harder used the pieces in the warmer. Depends how much candle you really wanna use!
