Birthdays, bubble baths, romantic dinners, and black outs, what do these activities have in common? I’ll give you a few minutes to guess……….
Figure it out yet? Ok you give up?
CANDLES!!!
Did you ever realize how many different ways they are used? I did not even throw in air freshener.
Candles are special. They are Joy catalysts. They are the little touch that take ordinary experiences and make them Joyful. Candles turn cake into Birthday cake and dinner into romance. Without candles bubble baths are not as serene and we are all in the dark during emergencies. Did you ever think about how such an insignificant thing, like a candle can make so many other moments significant? This is precisely how it is with Joy. We all think it is the big things that make us happy or joyful. But really it is the combination of all the little Joy catalysts that make our normal days extraordinary and our normal moments significant.
What little things act as Joy catalyst in your life?
While you are thinking about that let me tell you about your chance to get some joy catalysts of your own. Two of you Joy Chasers can win a candle from Gourmet Scent Shop. I have been using my very own Gourmet Scent Shop Candle as a little Joy catalyst of my own. If you have been reading this blog for a while or following via Facebook or twitter than you may have gathered that housekeeping is not my strong point. Well even with my lack of housekeeping prowess, two cats, and a dog I have lit my Japanese Pear candle and experienced a fragrant oasis.
Here is what you have to do to get your own candle:
a Rafflecopter giveaway PS. Special Shout out to Gourmet Scent Shop for being a Joy of Giving Sponsor. If you don’t win your candle during the giveaway maybe you can win one at the event on October 27th.
