Don't Miss Out on Your Favourites from the 2009 PartyLite Catalogues

SCROLL DOWN FOR FULL LIST OF DISCONTINUED ITEMS.

Hi. This is an important message. You might not think so at first, but if you come to a party next year and you ask for your favourite item and it’s not there anymore, I just want you to know that I’m sorry you didn’t read this.

December and January are your LAST CHANCE to get many of your favourite items and fragrances out of our Everyday and Summer/Holiday catalogues. We will have a brand new catalogue on February 1st.

What am I upset about:

• The Thai Pillar Sleeves (page 42) are going away! (OMG!)
• My favourite fragrances of Revitalise, White Gardenia Truffle, and Citrus Bloom are going away!
• The Linear Lites Range (in both catalogues) is going away! (Luckily, I have the whole thing already.)
• The Iced Tea range (including Iced Green Lime Tea) is going away. Sob!

What will you be upset about? Below I have provided the full list of what’s going away.

Anyone who has ordered a Scents of Ambiance Bloom and loves the fragrance (White Gardenia Truffle, Black Orchid, Tonka Bean, or Herbal Mint) needs to order some stock now. New fragrances are coming for the Blooms….

Are you like me and you want to stock up on about $200 worth of stuff? (OK, I’ll be honest, my list was over $500, but I’m addicted.) Well, do what I’m going to do and host a casual candle show in January. In January, my shows will feature our relaxing Spa range and focus on the last chance items. Hint: The easiest way to absorb the long list below is to come to, co-host, or host a show. Contact me to book a show.

Here is an unformatted list of all the items leaving the PartyLite Australia catalogues on January 31st 2010. The new catalogue will be fantastic, but don't miss out on your favourites!

Winter Weather = Candles All Day Long!

As you know, I burn candles all year around. But when you add the crisp air, the dark nights, and being indoors more... well, it's a perfect recipe for candles.

Light one tonight. If you're on Facebook, light one nearby. If you're watching TV, light one in there. If you're listening to music, turn off all the lights and light 7 candles around the room. If you're reading in your favourite chair, put one on the table nearby and let it flicker next to you. If you're headed to bed, put on a nice Unwind tealight for 30 minutes and do some meditation before you drift off to sleep.

In May, PartyLite Australia turns 7. Here is a link to this month's specials. Call me to order. Stay warm! Happy burning. WLC.

Light your Candles and Save the World

EARTH HOUR 2009 - 8.30PM SATURDAY 28 MARCH 2009

Earth Hour 2009 is happening at 8.30pm on Saturday 28 March 2009. 930 cities and towns in 80 countries have already committed to Earth Hour 2009. Show your support by switching off your lights and lighting your candles as your vote for Earth in the battle against global warming.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome's Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote.

Be a part of it! Light your candles and save the world. :) WLC.

How to Make Your Wedding Special

PartyLite is a perfect way to make your wedding and your reception special.

At the Wedding

PartyLite's White Gardenia Truffle candles will fill the air with beautiful fragrance and light. Votives will look particularly beautiful and will enable you to relax and focus on the important things of the day - him!

At the Reception

Partylite's unscented candles will add a touch of elegance to your guest tables and your bridal table like no other candles in the world. You won't want fragrance around the food, so selecting from our unscented range will make your tables absolutely beautiful. You don't want cheap tealights on a special day like this. (Of course, you never want cheap tealights - you want beautiful, clean burning PartyLite all the time!)

PartyLite products have recently been featured on Bride's Diary, Australia's No. 1 wedding publication and website. A selection of our products has been highlighted with other bridal table-setting ideas. You can view this review here.

Make your wedding platinum quality - just like PartyLite! WLC.

Candles and Charity

Give generously to charity in these economic times? How?

If you want to make a real difference to a foundation, a school, a group, or a scholarship, I have an idea for you. If you want to raise substantial money for a charity, but you don't want to sell raffle tickets or make phone calls, I have an idea for you. If you want to give more than you've got, then I have an idea for you.

Become an Independent PartyLite Consultant and donate your profits (or a percentage of your profits) to your favourite charity.

You could easily donate $1000 a month to your favourite cause by donating 10 hours a week to the charity. That's more than most people can afford to give. And with the fabulous PartyLite benefits and your altruistic cause, I bet you will be able to get bookings for shows from lots of places.

I have decided to donate 10 percent of my profits in May to the McGrath Foundation. Want to book a show in May? Call me and let's book it. We could make it your starter show, and then you could keep up the fundraising all year long.

Just an idea.... WLC.

Expensive Candles Doesn't Mean Good Candles

Hi. Just a short post to let you know that I've tried all kinds of candles. Expensive candles aren't always good.

Smoke is the culprit from this candle. Soot comes from this one no matter how diligently I trim the wick. You can see the smoke coming from the candle in the first photo. In the photo below, you can see that candle is releasing heaps of soot. Compare the jar on the left (non-PartyLite) to the one on the right (PartyLite, Citrus Bloom, Barrel Jar).

Coming soon - votives: PartyLite versus the world. :)

Unlit Candles are a Sacrilege

I am a candle lover, and enjoy having candles lit wherever I am, so when Alan and I stayed at my mother-in-law's house this Christmas, we (ok, I) found her candle stash.

Her tealights were the extremely cheap variety (no offence intended at all, most people buy these - I used to). I put them out in some tealight cups. They didn't look beautiful and I didn't replace them the next night.

She had two pillar candles. One was metallic blue and complemented the plate it was sitting on. Shells surrounded it and it looked quite pretty. Until I lit it. I wish I'd taken a picture. The wax never melted more than a 20 cent piece away from the wick. So into the pit the flame went. Alan wouldn't let me throw it away. I still wish I had.

The other pillar candle was sitting in another nice display, It was dusty, still had the plastic wrap around it, and I'm pretty sure it was leaning slightly to one side. I removed the plastic (I can't tell you how many people I've seen leave that plastic on - dangerous), trimmed the wick (so important), and lit the candle. It was beautiful. It burnt nicely, smelled great, and the wax melted to the edges of the candle. Each night I would give the candle a hug and toddle off to bed.

If you've got candles... light them. Enjoy them. Give them life and then replace them. They were meant to be lit. If they suck... throw them away. It's that simple.

Candles Make You Work Better

If you are lucky enough to work in an environment where you can burn candles, I have two words for you: DO IT!

Candles create an atmosphere where you can achieve creativity and focus. If you're writing a document, and can't think of the next line, look at the candle and ask the candle what to say... I bet it comes to you. (I honestly use this technique. You can probably tell.)

Some candles are particularly good in an office environment. I sell candles with a fragrance called Revitalise. The essential oils of Sage and Mandarin have an aroma therapy effect and actually help keep you... revitalised! Seriously. I wouldn't lie.

Offices that smell musty or stale simply aren't good places to work. So bring in some candlelight to share with your workmates.

Wendy Tip: Jar Candles! Jar candles don't require any assistance (for those of you who hug candles, you'll know what I mean) and minimal supervision (though, and I can't stress this enough, you should NEVER leave a candle burning unattended). Votives and tealights are good, too, but they don't last as long and I think you'll get much better value out of jar candles.

Now, if you can't burn candles, you can still improve the situation. Reed Diffusers might be the solution you are looking for. No flame, just glorious fragrances. (You can get Revialise in a reed diffuser, too.)

Me? I work at home, with the dogs asleep around me, a candle flickering nearby and the music playing lightly in the background. I'm working now as I type this entry. Crazy, isn't it? Ahhh the life of a candle lady.

To order candles, or to find out about business opportunities like this one (it only seems to good to be true), just call me. Talk soon! WLC.

Always Bring Candles on Holidays

Wendy's Travel Hint: Keep a PartyLite candle tin and a box of matches in your toiletries bag - that way you always have a candle with you when you travel.

Candles will add incredible flair and ambiance to your holidays. Whether you are staying with friends, or in a five star hotel with a beautiful jacuzzi tub, or even on a thrifty overnight excursion in two star accommodation, simply by lighting one of your favourite scented PartyLite tealights on the bedside table will upgrade your room. It makes the room smell beautiful and adds a nice, relaxing touch at the end of the day.

Suggestion for a great night's sleep: PartyLite's Well Being candles in the Unwind fragrance with Lavender and Vanilla essential oils. Don't have any? Order now.

Health tip: Don't start a fire. Think carefully about placement, and snuff out the candles when you go to sleep.
