Hi Maria,

Votives, tapers, pillars, some in jars, some with glitter, some with bows, even emergency candles...I have everything in the way of candles, but I don't know how to store them or what to store them in. Any suggestions...especially, to store the scented ones?

Maria Gracia responds...

Dear CK,

I love candles too! As you acknowledge, there are certain things to take into consideration when storing them. Improper storage can lead to damage by heat, light and/or friction. Even the position they are stored is an important point.

To keep their shape and quality, all candles should be stored in as cool and dry an environment as possible. I store mine in a large wooden hutch that is located in the coolest room of my house. Candles should be stored out of direct sunlight, which can cause their colors to fade.

Pillars and tapers are wrapped individually in tissue paper and laid flat in a wooden box, in a single layer, to avoid warping, bending or nicking. My scented votives are stored in plastic freezer bags, one scent to each bag, to keep fragrances fresh and avoid mingling. Never store scented candles next to food items.

The scented candles in jars are already protected by the covered containers. I store my jars upright on a shelf, tightly covered, in the same cabinet where I store the rest of my decorative candles.

I have several white pillar candles and tea lights that I keep in the event of power outage. They are stored all together, along with a lighter. For these candles, I worry less about damage as they are purely utilitarian in nature.

By the way, since we're on this topic, any time I light a candle, I set a timer on my phone alarm. This way, if I know I'm going to bed soon, the alarm will remind me to extinguish it. Also, if I light a candle and I know I'm leaving home soon, I place my car keys next to the candle...reminding me to extinguish it. Remember, unattended candles are a serious safety hazard. For anyone unsure whether or not you're going to be attentive to them, opt for battery-operated candles instead.

I hope this is helpful!

For super quick details on how you can sing better than you ever imagined, visit:

http://www.getorganizednow.com/rd-singing.html

Have you ever found yourself alone, singing a song...maybe out of tune... only to realize a co-worker or family member listening and making fun of your ability? Or maybe it was an insensitive joke, like: 'Don't give up your day job.'

We shrug these things off and pretend they don't bother us, but it hurts and it ruins our joy of singing.

On the other hand, you may be very excited to know that, within a matter of weeks, you could...

Sing so incredibly well and with such power and expression, that when people listened to your voice, they felt goosebumps and welled up with emotional tears?

This leads me to something that is really good that I know you're going to love. If you've ever wanted to learn how to sing (or to sing better), this singing course is head and shoulders above the rest...it's called Singorama 2.0.

Learn how to:

* Sing with effortless strength
* Increase your vocal range by at least an octave
* Sing with beautiful tone and perfect pitch
