Happy Halloween!!!
Welcome to Candles By Victoria monthly newsletter. If your are just joining us this month WELCOME. If you have been a loyal subscriber thank you for your continued support.
What a great time of year this is, the crisp air in the mornings and perfect temperatures through out the day! It's time for picking apples, sipping cider, making scarecrows and taking hayrides...there's so much to enjoy! The seasons are changing, and as the sunlight takes on a coppery glow, fields are being harvested and bunches of just-picked herbs hang overhead to dry. Crisp days and beautiful red-tinged maple trees signal that October has arrived. I can't help but feel a bit renewed and revived! Texas doesn't get much better than in the fall. I hope that where ever you are, you're also experiencing this uplifting feeling.
On a personal note, my daughter Chelsea auditioned and got a part in her high school musical Grease!! She is one of the pink ladies, we are very excited, many years ago, I'm not saying how many, when I was her age Grease came out and I was singing and dancing to all those same songs, all these years later she is doing the same thing, I couldn't be more proud. :) Opening night is October 27th, wish us luck!
Also this is our oldest daughter Melissa's birthday month. She will turn 22 on the 4th, wow where did the time go? I just wanted to say that I love you Melissa and I'm so proud of the woman you have become. Happy Birthday honey!
And finally we have something fun for the kids, since Halloween is one of our favorite holidays of the year we would like to share a little something with all of you. Take a moment and visit our just for fun Halloween pages. I created these pages years ago, back when I was first learning html, I have kept them and have been sharing them with my customers for the past several years. I hope you enjoy!
Start your spooktacular journey...

Choosing A Fragrance to Match Your Mood |
Do you ever wonder why you become drowsy in the morning as soon as you smell your co-workers perfume? Or maybe you are having trouble sleeping after using your favorite orange scented lotion before bed. Have you ever considered how the fragrances around you are affecting your mood?
Fragrance is a powerful enhancer of mood. Upon inhalation of a fragrance, the odor molecules travel up the nose where they are captured in specific receptor cells. The odor molecules then stimulate the limbic system of the brain. The limbic system is our emotional control center and controls heart rate, hormone balance, breathing, and stress levels of the body. A particular scent or fragrance can trigger memories and emotions in our brain before we are consciously aware of them.
Because fragrance has such a powerful effect on our mood, it can be highly beneficial to choose a scent that is congruent to the goal for that time in the day. A person may want to avoid soaking in a lemon/lime bath before bed because the citrus scent may have too much of an energizing effect, and not the sedative effect a night time bath should have.
Try these guidelines the next time you are planning the fragrance choices in your day:
Morning
When choosing the scents to surround your morning, you want to choose something that will help you start your day fresh and with vibrancy. For a burst of early morning energy, try using a fragrance with a lemon or orange scent. The zesty smell will lend a zing to your early morning routine. Grapefruit and citrus blends also have energizing and uplifting qualities perfect to start the day. These scents are light and natural, and tend not to overpower the senses.
Afternoon
The afternoon can be a time when you are in the middle of working, and you want to feel fresh, but also want to relieve some of the built up stress of the morning. For a relaxing and happy afternoon, try using lavender. If you feel tired and groggy during the middle of the day, try using a pine scent to help boost your energy.
Evening
For a romantic evening, utilize musky fragrances like sandalwood and amber. These scents are very powerful, and tend to overpower more delicate fragrances. To unwind into sleep, try the scent of rose. Vanilla and Ylang-ylang are also used to help reduce and relieve stress, and can help the brain wind down for a calm and relaxing evening.
