Since candle meditation is pretty popular in western countries, so we thought to bring this lifestyle trend into India and share this knowledge with every Indian who’s juggling between their personal and professional lives. Our team member got in touch with Vidya and jotted down her valuable inputs on this topic. Here’s a gist of her conversation featuring all the inputs that will help you in becoming a better person.
About 10-15 years ago, I was looking for answers because of a tragedy that occurred in my life and I didn’t know what to do. It was just quite devastating, I was feeling very destroyed and broken inside. So, the questions that I had inside me needed to be answered and a solution was needed, just some kind of a help. Because I was looking for answers I found yoga but I think Yoga found me, and whenever you indulge in a physical exercise it releases happy hormones. You feel slightly better, so maybe it started in that sense like an exercise form or something but then after a short period of time I realized that yoga was something that can take you deeper, few years ago I did my first yoga teacher course and I think it was just very limited to me because it was my understanding, I also realized that there was more to yoga than just 1-2 hours of practice, it is a learning process that never ends. There is so much inside us that we hold on to, we’re angry about certain things, sad about certain things, everything is so chunked in our lives. The best way to be happy is to stay in the moment, to allow everything to happen to us whether it’s good or bad, it always has a lesson. There’s no point in holding on to anything pain, sadness, anger because you’re meant to go through all these things in your life. If you can choose, you can choose suffering or you can choose to let go, when you choose suffering it will just carry on. And I have experienced this thing that pain is very addictive, it’s not like you start enjoying it but you just get addicted to it. It is a weird cycle that that you should break and say NO, it’s just enough, time to move on. I have been through my time in depression when I completely lost hope but eventually when you understand yourself, after a night, there has to be a day shining brightly. You have to wake up in the morning to look forward to and yoga helps in that. Just go out in the sunlight, there is so much that the nature and mother earth offers to us and we should be grateful for, we should connect with nature and get that healing energy.
Simple things like saying you in the morning, just be grateful that you woke up you’re breathing, there are so many people that lose their lives before the beginning of the next day. The attitude of gratitude will just make your life a better place it will be sorted, think of three things you’re grateful for on a daily basis.
Depression will vanish after practicing these things, there are a lot of medicines that are recommended when you’re going through depression but medicines will not let it heal, it will just suppress it.
I am first a yoga person because I really enjoy doing it. The practice of mind, body and breath in a sequence, it is very interesting, exciting and healing for me but I can’t ditch other forms of work out because I really feel that for a normal person if you can get some of exercises in a day, it is great. Whether it’s playing an outdoor game, going to the gym, cycling or swimming, just get some sort of activity in your life. That’s what more important, I don’t exactly enjoy the air-conditioned atmosphere in gym or zumba classes, but they do help in building strength. I also do cardio but that doesn’t mean I ditch my yoga sessions, cardios come as an addition. I love dancing, I love swimming and indulging in other outdoor activities but yoga is always a part of my routine.
Yes, it does. If you’re only lifting heavy weights, it will affect your flexibility for sure. But if you balance your strength training sessions with yoga routine, it won’t affect your flexibility. But on the other hand if you only do yoga, you will have more flexibility but not enough strength, which means in both cases you may get injured. Too much flexibility or too much strength will not be good enough; you need to create a balance of both. So combine your strength trainings with yoga sessions. I feel like gym bodies are more like bulls, you have to decide if you want to be a bull or cheetah.
You can work as much as you want but what’s more important is your sleep. We have a nation or world full of diabetes or lifestyle diseases. I keep telling everyone I meet, you need to give your body the right nutrition, and you need to give your body rest. If you don’t do these things, when that great job or that great opportunity comes to you, suddenly your body will say that sorry I am not ready. I have seen it happening to my family members in front of my eyes, what I am saying whatever you need work on needs to done, you have to meet the deadlines but they’re just deadlines. My question is, is it really more important than your health? It is not, so get your priorities right, today a lot of young people come to me and say, I have blood pressure and I am like is it even your age to get blood pressure. If you can incorporate some activity in your life, if you can give yourself some nutritious food and not the crap. Everybody is scared of fruits these days because they say they have a lot of sugar, but eventually it’s all natural sugar, your body needs it. I have fruits at 12 every morning and I eat dozen of fruits daily, every time I am hungry I just have some fruits. I carry fruits with me wherever I go and when I feel like munching, instead of buying a packet of chips I eat fruits. You need three things to maintain a healthy lifestyle, you need movement, nutritious food and some form of meditation to get rid of stress, just maybe 5 minutes of meditating will help you throughout your day. Even when you’re working, just turn the screen off, put your head down and relax for 15-20 minutes.
Of course I have, I do Chakra Meditation every day. I love scents and aromas, I love indulging in aromatherapy every evening. When you burn traditional aggarbattis (incense sticks, organic ones) with nice sandalwood or rose fragrance, the smoke cleanses the surroundings, there are seven colors of life and when you ignite fire the green one cleanses out, the second benefit is that the aroma makes you feel good. Now, an aggarbatti can be turned into a candle or an essential oil, now when you say it is for your heart chakra or your or the root chakra then it’s wrong because at the end of the day when you go back to your home, just light up a diya or candle, when you just dim your lights and light up a candle, it creates a mellow mood as when the sun goes down, you’re not supposed to be in bright lights the body is supposed to be in rest. As ancient people, they woke up with sun and went to sleep with sun. So just be in touch with nature and when you get back to your home, don’t spend your time scrolling through your phones or in front of your TV screens. Instead of focusing on other things, focus on what’s going on inside you. Just dim the lights, put on a soothing music and light up some candles to relax and unwind after a tiring day. You can on put some chantings, keep phones and instruments away. It’s not like one particular fragrance works for one particular chakra, it’s about how does that aroma makes you feel.
What is your favorite fragrance? What effect does it has on you?
I love sandalwood or lemongrass they just make me feel calm, when I light an aggarbatti while praying. It’s showing gratitude to the god, I pray for cleaning my surroundings and creating a healing aura, I tell the particles of fragrance and fire to take away all the negativity. I love lavender because of its healing properties and it removes all the negative energies while spreading positive vibes in the atmosphere.
According to Buddha, the scent of oud can take you to a “state of nirvana”?
I don’t know about the oud as such, but according to me fragrances does clean the environment. I haven’t tried much Oud but I love sandalwood. You burn sage, it has got properties to cleanse negative energy around. Also, music plays a big part, I have a Tibetan singing bowl, and whenever I feel a stuck energy in my home I just play that bowl. The sound is incredibly healing, whenever my mom does puja or when I perform rituals I always play that bowl.
Would you suggest people to use natural aroma candles during their yoga and meditation session more relaxing?
I definitely would as I personally use a lot of essential oils and they come with many healing benefits. So, I would definitely recommend people to use natural aroma candles and essential oils during their yoga and meditation practices. Even if you aren’t performing any of those activities, you still can light up some scented candles to create a relaxing aura.

Calling all DIY minded lovers and Home Decor Enthusiasts for Home Improvements, this Home Decor Podcast is for you. Grab the Inspiration you need to revamp your living spaces or stock up some decor ideas for your home's interior Design.
Well, I think I have always been wanting to be in home décor and interior designing. This is an art and interest which I have acquired from my dad. My father comes from a huge joint family where keeping things untouched was certainly a task. He managed to decorate his house, keep it warm with all possible ways he could. I’ve grown up hearing to his stories of styling up the living room, cleaning the garden area, getting a warm feeling at home and lots of other such stuff. For me, home decoration is best explained with this quote – “a person’s house is a reflection of his or her personality”. I always want that people who visit my place must be welcomed with a warm vibe and should be able to feel through my home which is why I got myself so involved into home decoration. In my case, this is completely my passion which is why I just keep doing it with more enthusiasm. I come from a science background in my education, I’m a post graduate in Biochemistry and hold working experience in education department. However, since last few years I have been working on my art and have launched a YouTube channel “All about lifestyle”. My inspiration to launch my channel is all YouTube channels that I have watched to understand how YouTube works, helps people to believe and live their dreams. I feel everything around me inspires me to build the content for my videos, like I find inspiration from hand painted walls on roadside, Indian handcrafted things etc.
While I had always been into DIYs and home décor, I remember my first project was when I moved to Delhi (a year ago) and we moved to a rental house. I had started with designing my own house in my own way. Indian and Bohemian styles are very close to my heart because they both play well with different and bright colors and makes the space look bright and vibrant. So, for my first design I went with an Indian style floor seating arrangement. I am attaching link of that video which will take you through my first ever work.It’s completely a different feeling to work as an employee and as a Boss simultaneously. I had a tight budget to manage this project and which got my creative mind think in all possible directions. It was indeed a breathtaking moment when I completed my first video along with my design managing my household chores. I had always read that there is no limit to a woman who decides to be ambitious and look I was feeling through this saying. When I sit and reflect to that day, I realize that I have had many learnings of my YouTube channel as well. I have had several takes to finalize the one which will go live. Sleepless nights of script writing. Endless days of hard work put in to turn the project and meet the deadline.
I believe everyone is creative in their own way. For me, like I have mentioned earlier I have acquired this skill from my Dad, however, I enhanced it with the talent I am born with. I feel I am blessed with a creative mind which helps me build on ideas that are convenient to execute. I imagine without constraints and believe in experimenting with my thoughts. My definition of creativity is combination of thoughtfulness, imagination and experimentation. Creativity starts when you love doing what you do because it encourages your soul to express yourself without any materialism. So, for me, creativity usually dormant inside every individual, it depends on individual’s area of interest and passion to polish it.
Light play a major role in creating ambiance of a space and mood of a person. Good lighting sparks the minute design of a room. Without a perfect light where I mean to say color and warmth of alight, specific elements does not come up as accent elements in any room. Lights assures highlighting the specific areas in the room for an instance floor lamps can be used for creating and lightening small corners, on the contrary hanging lights or chandeliers can enhance the beauty of a painting or mirror. Natural light is the best light which works for me in creating my space and videos. I would suggest that if anyone’s having a huge window or balcony in their room should definitely take the advantage of it for making the space look wider and brighter. I am attaching some videos where I have shared how lights can be used in interior styling
Yes of course scent or aroma is the key ingredient in creating a right kind of atmosphere a person is looking for. One can create different atmosphere using different aromas like for creating calm and fresh atmosphere lemon scented candles or essential oils plays a remarkable role. Similarly, for creating happy or romantic atmosphere one can go with rosemary scented candles or essential oils. A scented room can perk up anyone’s mood and can bring soothing vibes in that particular space. Aromatherapy is one such example which has physical as well as phsycological benefits.
I believe that candles are capable of turning any space into an oasis of warmth and coziness. For me when it comes to decorate a space, candles act as unique pieces yet budget friendly tools. I personally like to use candles in following ways
1. Table Decor: Candles as centerpieces on coffee table, for this tea light candles inside mason jars with some flower petals are my ready to go décor. Also, I love to play with electronic candles to create a glow on coffee tables. During festive season or having party at home I like to use tall candles or pillar candles or floating candles in glasses or vases.
2. Scented candles in bathroom: Whenever there are any guests arriving at home, I like to add scented candles in bathrooms instead of air purifier because candles are key elements in making the space soothing, relaxing and they can even remove the stinky smell of dampness.
3. Candles in bedroom: Candles are versatile and they come in variety of shapes and colors that’s why I like to play with them in bedroom also. Burning candles do help in overcoming stress and anxiety for me.
It totally depends on the choice of a person but when it comes to answer this question, I would suggest that Indian homes are characterized by their vibrancy. Here I mean to say that colorful candles or candle inside golden or lustrous metallic holder or stone studded holders are the best to be used in Indian homes and festivals. Floating candles inside any glass bowl filled with water and flower petals is another easy way to decorate with candles.

1. Types of Fragrance Oils
There are two types of fragrance candles, the ones that are scented with natural essential oils (aromatherapy candles), the other ones are scented with synthetic fragrance oils (scented candles). An aromatherapy candle can also be recognized by a subtle mild fragrance with a floral, herbal or a plant like an essence. Whereas scented candles are created with synthetic fragrance oils, the fragrance is pure artificial just like your bath and beauty products or body perfumes. But some candle makers try to con people by putting 49% chemical based and 51% essential oil blends in their candles and then claims the candles to contain therapeutic benefits of an aromatherapy candle. People who are allergic to chemical fragrances may experience irritation in their olfactory system after smelling these candles.
2. Types of Wax Blends
Scented candles are generally made of different type of wax blends that may be solely paraffin or a blend of natural waxes and paraffin wax. Aromatherapy candles are supposed to be made up of 100% soy, vegetable or palm wax. Because natural waxes come with a low melting point, these candles are generally available in candle jars and do not look much aesthetically appealing. How some candle makers fool you is, they use 51% natural wax and 49% artificial waxes and claim the candle to be made from natural wax “blend".
3. Don’t Let the Strong Scent Throw Fool You!
This one point is of utmost importance and you might get tempted to buy a candle just because it has a scent throw when you take a cold whiff. We are talking about strong scent throw since we already told you that aromatherapy candles are supposed to contain natural essential oils with a natural fragrance, these fragrances are very subtle in nature and you might need to burn two or three candles together to get a good scent throw in a large room. Whereas a premium quality scented candle might lurk you in with its strong scent throw. So, the next time you take a whiff of a candle claiming to be aromatherapy approved and feel the fragrance hitting your olfactory senses too strongly, give some second thoughts before buying.
4. Natural Elements Do Not Release Smoke
Aromatherapy candles are made of natural essential oils and wax, so there are no chances of soot or smoke production in these candles. Aromatherapy candles are 100 % safe for health and hence, come with cleaner and longer burning hours. Whereas scented candles are not natural and they do create some smoke while burning, even if they’re of premium quality. You will also witness a poor quality aromatherapy candle creating smoke because of its chemical based fragrance oils and wax blends.
5. Because Luxury Comes At A High Price
Just in case you see yourself getting carried away on seeing a low price tag on a luxurious aromatherapy candle, please, think twice before buying it because the cost of making aromatic candles is pretty high. You don’t stand a chance to get them at economical prices. Read all the labels and ingredients present in the candle, keep your eyes open for the word “blend”, and thank us later.

Scented Candles are becoming the new status symbol of luxury and people have started to spend a lot on fragrance candles whether it belongs to a store like Walmart and Target where there are plenty of options available at economical prices or a luxury fragrance boutique like Jo Malone or Diptique. But after burning those pricey and luxurious scented candles, some people regret buying them or feel like they’re burning their money but it’s not the case. Some people have asked us what makes scented candles so expensive, so we decided to clear your thoughts. Here are 5 reasons why good quality scented candles cost a few extra bucks:
1. Type of Fragrance
For most luxury candle companies, it usually starts with the type and quality of fragrances. Where perfumes are loaded with fragrance oils that smell good but a candle is a precise fabrication of oils that not only smell good but also burn well. Some use natural essential oils to scent their candles and some use synthetically derived fragrance oils. But just because they’re synthetically derived does not mean that they’re cheap. It’s just that some fragrances cannot be naturally derived, for example, every women’s favorite Chanel No.5 perfume. The amount of fragrance oils that go in a candle is more than what goes into perfumes but still, the value of candle is perceived to be lower than the fragrance. If brands started selling these luxurious scented candles at cheap prices then they wouldn’t be able to even cover the cost of production.
2. Type of Wax
There many types of candle waxes and the most commonly used are paraffin, soy, and beeswax. The value of a scented candle also depends upon the type of waxes candle makers have used while crafting candles. The ones that are available at economical prices are the ones made with paraffin wax, followed by the ones that are made with soy wax blend (51% natural soy and 49% synthetic wax blend). At last the most expensive candles are the ones made with 100% pure soy or beeswax because they’re natural and eco-friendly.
3. Burn Time
If you run out of your scented candles too soon then this might be a sign that you’ve invested in a cheap low-quality scented candle. Premium quality fragrance candles come with extended burn time and burn for longer durations as compared to the average ones. A premium quality candle will have the perfect combination of a high-quality wax, lead-free cotton wick and fragrance oils specially created for candles, making a candle burn for longer as compared to low-quality candles. Candles made from natural waxes such as soy or beeswax also tend to burn for longer hours as compared to paraffin candles, thus making them worth the price.
4. Type of Wick
This is one of the most overlooked features in any candle but plays a major part in the performance of a candle. Candles with low-quality lead wicks are available at a cheaper price but are harmful to health. Whereas 100 % cotton wick candles come with high performance and are eco-friendly. Two or three wicked candles or candles with wooden wick are supposed to be expensive as compared to the regular ones, as they help a candle to burn more evenly and hence, spread more fragrance in the air.
5. Size
The size of a candle is also one of the most common factors that affect the cost of a candle, a bigger scented candle needs more fragrance oils, more wax and larger container and thicker wick. So the price of a scented candle goes up in proportion to its size but eventually, it will be a long-term investment because it will last for weeks or months.
We think that your thoughts must have been cleared by now after reading this article about why Jo Malone's or Diptique's scented candles cost so much. But there are a lot of options available in the market that will make your home luxurious at a decent price. So, what are you waiting for? Go, discover your favorite scent.
]]>1. Should I Buy Different Fragrances for Different Spaces?
Do you wear the same clothes to work, party or at home? The answer is probably no, then why do would you burn the same scented candle in every room of your home? The answer is yes, you should buy different fragrance candles for different living spaces because they would help in creating an ambiance that reflects the room’s purpose. Pick up a romantic fragrance like the rose for a bedroom, a divine fragrance like jasmine for the prayer room, a warm fragrance like cinnamon sticks for the living room to create a warm atmosphere with your family followed by fresh fragrance like ocean breeze for bathrooms.
2. What are the Different Categories of Candles and Why It Should Matter To Me?
Like we consider quality and comfort before buying shoes that we wear daily and when it comes to buying a pair of flip-flops for the beach, we just grab any pair because we don’t need them regularly. This is the same with candles, there are different types of candles and each serves a different purpose. Pillar candles come with maximum burning hours, they won’t run out easily when you burn them regularly, tealights come with shortest burning hours, they’re the best pick when you want to create a nice ambiance at night with a lot of candlelight. Jar candles come with lids and they’re the best ones for placing on your furniture as there is no risk of spillage.
3. Should I Buy Candles That Look Good Or The Ones That Smell Good?
This one is really complicated, it’s like picking up a man when the first option looks charming and the second one gives you temptations. So, if you’re planning to woo your guests at a housewarming party or an event, pick up some decorative candles (just like you pick up a charming man to flaunt him like a trophy in front of your friends). If you really want to enjoy some benefits of scented candles and want your space to smell good then settle for a decent scented jar candle, you won’t be able to flaunt it but rather feel it (just like a decent looking man that smells amazing will drive you crazy in bed, you can’t flaunt that in public but definitely can enjoy the benefits in private). Apparently, both come with their unique benefits, the choice is yours.
4. Why Invest in an Expensive Scented Candle When I Have Cheaper Options?
Like we have always been taught to settle for quality over quantity when it’s about people or things, the same rule applies to scented candles. If you run after best-looking candles with the strongest scent throw available at cheaper prices, then this will be a total waste of money because the candles must be made of poor quality waxes and lead wicks that will end up making your space toxic. Whereas a good quality scented candle might be a bit expensive but it’s definitely worth the price because of being crafted with premium quality wax blends and lead-free cotton wicks.
5. Are Floral Scents Meant Just For Women? Can’t Men Pick Them?
Just like pink is not just for women, there are some men who carry color pink like it was meant for them, the same goes with floral scents. Not all men like dark colors or strong and spicy fragrances, some might like cool, fresh and pastel colors and get drawn towards some subtle floral scents. This is just fine, pick what you like and don’t let the stereotypes make you settle for something that makes you feel terrible.
6. How Many Scented Candles Should I Burn in My Room?
This one is the most important question and some people often complain that there is no fragrance in a candle. So, the total number of scented candles you should be burning so that the entire room smells good depends upon the size of the room. One scented candle might be enough for a small room or bathroom, but for a larger room or hallway, you should burn at least two to three scented candles together.
7. Can I Burn Two Scented Candles with Different Fragrance Together?
As they say, sugar and spice and all things nice, the same applies to scented candles. You can create your own signature fragrance by combining two different fragrances together, start from blending subtle floral fragrances just like the rose with musk or ivy, coffee with vanilla or watermelon with mint. Once you learn this art of mixing fragrances, you will love this game.
So, we are pretty sure that after reading this article you must be clear with, what type of scented candle you want to buy, its purpose and the fragrance. Just in case you still have some unanswered questions in your mind, free feel to reach out to us or just leave a comment in the below section. We would love to help you out.

]]>We all have been through a phase like this and the worst thing happens around Valentine’s week when couples make the shittiest mistake unknowingly that it might really make their partner’s feel awkward or embarrassed. So, if you want to steer clear of making those mistakes then here we present you with 7 things you should really avoid doing this Valentine’s Day:
1. No Valentine’s Themed Merchandise. Please
We know you might get tempted to buy those typical Archie’s Valentine’s gifts that they keep repeating every year. Please, stay away from those plushy teddy bears with hearts, couple statues or those long 99 reasons why I Love You greeting card. It’s totally okay to buy these things but they might appear impersonal because they’re too mainstream. They all land up in the list of last minute gifts and your partner might think that you make zero efforts for them.
2. Stop Doing Ctrl + C and Ctrl+ V or Buying Greeting Cards with Long Messages
Don’t expect a greeting card with messages or those mainstream poems and sayings do the talking for you. Dare not copy paste those messages in the captions of your couple pictures, we know that not everyone is blessed with good writing skills and not everyone is so expressive but all you need to do is just pour your heart out. Create your own personalized valentine wishes or captions, mention about how you first met, when you realized that he/she is the one and why you see them as your perfect partner.
3. Not Planning for the Dinner in Advance
Okay, let’s accept the fact that most women get confused on being asked: “where do you want to eat?” But that doesn’t mean you will keep the plans hanging in the air and would ask them where you want to do for the dinner? It’s as useless as G in Lasagna, instead of waiting for her to tell you where she wants to eat, just think about her favorite food or drink and book a table in advance at that restaurant, bistro or café.
4. Don’t Get into the Trap When She Says It’s Just Another Day
In case you’ve been with your partner for so long and Valentine’s Day seems like another day bringing no excitement at all. We will suggest you to at least acknowledge that special someone by expressing your feelings and love for them. Don’t treat this like just another day, maybe try to bring that spark and passion again by recreating all your special moments and memories. Take her to the same restaurant you took her for the first day, women can cook their partner’s favorite dishes that made him fall in love with you even more.
5. Don’t Start Swiping Right On Tinder!
To all the singles, desperately waiting to mingle, please don’t lose hope. And don’t start swiping right on tinder because you don’t want to end up being alone on Valentine’s Day. We aren’t saying that Tinder is not a good option but you should not let your loneliness get the better of you. Keep your standards high, you’re awesome and you deserve some real shit. So, take yourself out on a dinner, for a spa or buy that awesome gadget or dress that you’ve been lurking on for a while.
6. No Blind Dates
If your best friend is super excited about valentines and he/she is planning to go on a double couple date by fixing a blind date for you with one of their friend, cousins, and friends of friends, then run. No more awkward blind dates, just don’t let your best friend play the emotional drama card on you. Say a clear and loud “NO”.
7. Say Goodbye to Being – Close-Minded
Women are now being treated as equal to men, thanks to all strong women who influenced everyone and brought this change. Now, we see women at the front of every revolution but when it comes to dating, we don’t know why women want that advantage of being a woman. If you’re a woman and drooling over that hottie for a while, please for god's sake “Make A Move”, men asking you out for a date is the thing of past now, start taking lead. Men also want to feel special just like you, they also want someone to pamper them and keep up with their shit, and it’s just that these species have a hard time expressing things. So, this Valentine’s just ask him out for a date, the worst he can do is say no. So, what? At least you won’t have any regrets.
We hope that the above advice will save you from making major mistakes on this Valentine’s Day. If you liked this article, share it with your friends and show some love in the comment section.
]]>Did you know? Oud is one of the most expensive woods and fragrance oil across the globe, it is also known as liquid gold. Oud is linked to wealth and power, it is very popular in Asia and the Middle East but its popularity among western world has increased quite drastically. It resulted in a revolution of luxury perfume brands, earlier oud was only used as a base note in perfumes and fragrances but lately, fragrance experts are bringing it to the forefront. Brands like Tom Ford, Dolce & Gabanna, Gucci, Versace, and Giorgio Armani have come up with dedicated Oud centric perfumes and EDT’s. The common thing they share is that oud is being used as the main ingredient for the fragrance composition followed by other ingredients serving as the supplementary or base notes. This broke the monotony of oud - the chosen one for base notes and replaced it with Oud- the fragrance of luxury. But why all of a sudden perfume experts started seeing oud in a new light? What brought this change? We will reveal the secret behind this…
Oud Takes You to an Intimate Level of Olfactory Experience!
The perfume industry is surely worth billions of dollars and helps people to express their personality by giving them a signature fragrance that matches and reflects their taste. Recently the market got flooded with oud based fragrances, which are of course very expensive. However, though the ingredient has its roots in Asia and the Middle East, it’s making its way to the western countries.
What is oud?
It’s a very expensive wood resin, which is formed when a certain type of tree is attacked by mold or fungus. The name of the tree is Aquilaria that grows in China, Japan, Vietnam, and Middle East Countries. The whole process takes hundreds of years and the resin is not ready to be extracted until it gets fully matured. The wood turns dark brown or black in color on becoming matured, it has a very powerful fragrance that lasts longer than any other fragrance. Oud is known as the scent of Arabia, Arabs and Persians have rituals in which large sheets of agarwood were burned making the whole town encompassed in the mystical fragrance.
Oud is the deal maker or deal breaker for some, it is one of those fragrances that some people either love or hate. For some, it is like a seductive elixir that turns them on and for some, it’s a just a stinky element. Oud takes you to an intimate level of olfactory experience, the overpowering yet mysterious aroma is capable enough of making any man feel like more of a man, bringing all the ladies attention. As they say, “Good manners and good cologne is what transfers a man into gentlemen”, it goes the same when a woman picks you. As women are blessed with good olfactory senses, they remember and differentiate their man by the cologne they wear or a unique body odor that each one of us has. A classic cologne is all you need to turn on any women, the stronger the fragrance the more chances a man has to sweep away any women off her feet. Maybe now we know why all high-end luxury brands decided to launch their own version of Oud perfumes all of a sudden.
Oud and Bergamot scented candle is a must have if you love fragrances, men can use it to make their room or office smell more masculine and women can gift it to their men to finally make them fall in love with scented candles or burn them in the home if your partner has been complaining about your too flowery home fragrances or air fresheners.
]]>1. You Don’t Have to Worry About Occasion!
No matter whether if it’s your best friend’s baby shower, your cousin’s marriage or someone just graduated from high school, a scented candle can be gifted to anyone. It can be incorporated with other gifts or you can get it personalized according to the occasion. You can give scented candle with a relaxing aroma that will keep stress at bay to a mom to be, pick up a fragrance that helps in concentrating to a student or a romantic candle for the newlywed couple.
2. Candles Do Not Come With Stereotypes. They’re Unisex
The most ridiculous thoughts you get when you go out to buy someone a gift is, this is too feminine or this is too masculine, pink is for women and blue is for men. But with candles, there’s nothing like that because they’re unisex, suitable for both men and women. You can pick some strong fragrances like oud and musk for men and sweet fragrances like rose and jasmine for women. Simple!
3. Unlike Clothes, You Don’t Have To Worry About A Candle’s Size
Until and unless you don’t personally know someone, their size, the preference of color, fabric or brand, clothes could be the worst gifts. Remember that ugly Christmas sweater your grandma gave you when you were a teenager? Nobody wants to experience it, but when it comes to candles you don’t really have to worry about the size or fit. Just pick scented candle according to the person’s personality and you’re ready to roll. Someone who loves nature might admire some floral and fresh scents, someone who has stress or anxiety might love an aromatic candle that will keep stress at bay.
4. You Don’t Have To Wait for Them Throughout The Year! They’re Available Anytime in Any Season
We all wait for brands to launch their latest spring, summer or autumn-winter collection, the pumpkin pie, and Christmas cake is available only in the holiday season and romance-themed gifts are mostly available before the valentine week. This doesn’t go with scented candles, you can burn a pumpkin spice or gingerbread scented candles in any season to get the holiday vibes. Same goes with romance, you don’t have to wait for Valentine’s Day to make your partner feel special when you can do it every day by burning romantic scented candles.
5. Scented Candles Last Longer
If you’re looking for a gift that will last for long and will remind your loved ones about you every time they use it then scented candles make the perfect gifts. Whenever your loved ones will burn their scented candles, the aroma will remind them about you, and if they enjoy the fragrance or aromatic experience then it will bring a smile on their face. At the end of the day, we all want our loved ones to be happy!

Valentine's Day Gifts, 7 Mistakes You Shouldn't Be Making:
V For Valentine’s Day…
The Romance hued story trends somewhat like this… Not a long time back, most women wouldn’t stop worrying and be anxious on whether or not their husbands/ boyfriends would remember their birthdays, anniversaries or for that matter, Valentine’s Day!
In the midst of the coming Valentine Fever and evergreen romantic high, the story has strummed its Guitar strings on a different note as they say Change is the only constant that stays so as a matter of fact, logically men simply aren’t able letting Valentine’s Day slip away from their minds.
In this Jet - Set Tech Savvy Digital age where we all eat, breathe and live technology it’s no surprise that we and our loved ones will receive torrents of reminder mails persuading Men and Women alike everyday reminding that they can grab exclusive novelties and gifting articles for their loved ones, beau, bae (who will breathe fire akin to an angry dragon, if you somehow fail to get them a gift!).
This goes by without saying that you won’t possibly step in the shoes of a spoilsport by keeping in mind a few things you shouldn't be doing this time around on Valentine’s Day because by the end of this Article, you should just be knowing better… for you are Awesome!
Jewellery
To err is to human and to Forgive Valentine, jokes apart, the initial mistake many make when purchasing valentine's themed jewelry, is that they time and again cherry – pick some piece of jewellery fashioned in the shape of a heart.
But don’t you worry Sir as your loved one might just have plenty of heart shaped jewelry stashed up her Girlie wardrobe. So what are you waiting for? Be a Man (Puns apart, we aren’t saying that you aren’t one though!) lay your hands on something that relates to the sheer essence of your relationship and sweep her away .
Flowers and chocolate… Oh No, Not again!
The ‘Female Gaze’ for a fresh change might just be fascinating, you see! But then again, Women have literally grown tired of that typical box of neatly tucked chocolates flung open along with a bouquet of dozen red roses. They know it's an easy choice for men and that there really isn't much thought behind the gift except 'let's get this over with.'
Membership to a fitness center:
What's so great with this? All that you are trying to say is, your lover is FAT and needs to put his/her wait down! Not smart enough as a gift, especially for the great occasion as VALENTINES DAY! There is no harm with wanting to make sure that both you and your counterpart are physically fit, but Valentine’s Day is for treasuring the one you have, not for bashing them with their insecurities or imperfections.
Super Extravagant Gifts
Don't hand over some crazy expensive or elaborate gift. It's overwhelming and so unnecessary. Stick to something simple or something thoughtful instead. Over-the-top gifts don't seem genuine.
His/Her Stuff
No. Nope. No way. Stop. Do not get his or her robes. Don't get matching sweatshirts. Don't get those t-shirts that say "I'm with him" and "I'm with her."
Gifts That Are Really For You
Like novelty gifts, buying sexy lingerie for yourself is like a gift bonus. This gift is really for you when you think about it. Sure, your partner gets to see you looking hot, but that's it.
NOTHING AT ALL!
This is simply not taken. Do the exact opposite of what Nike wants, and just do not do it. If you love and respect your man/woman then you need some time to do something special for them on this very special day.
If you really wish to add that special spark to your fancy occasion then you can plan on getting some really special Valentine’s Day candles and Gift sets to surprise your partner.
The Candles can work wonders in setting the right mood for you and your beloved, so that you can woo and speak your heart out.

1. Say NO to Shorter Burn Time
Pillars are specifically designed to be burned for longer durations and when you burn them for a shorter period you mess up with the whole burning process. The initial burn is the most crucial time for any candle and it is known as a memory burn, it is the one which sets the scent throw and boundaries for every other burn time. So, to be on the safe part burn the pillar candles at least for 3-4 hours, each time you light them up. You need to wait until the wax pool touches the boundaries.
2. Don’t Ignore the Wick
If the flame of your pillar candle is too large that means the wick needs a trim. Extinguish the candle immediately by dunking the wick inside the wax pool, it is a better option than blowing off the candle as it prevents the wick from producing smoke. Now let the wick dry for few minutes and then trim the wick, straighten it and then relight again. You should trim the wick when there’s mushrooming or carbon gap, you will see little black globules forming on the tip.
3. Don’t Burn Pillar Candles in Any Container
If you have been burning your pillar candles in any glass or other containers then you should stop doing that and replace the containers with regular and open candle holders with a flat base. Place them away from the windows and fans, place them away from the drafty conditions as well, since all of these conditions may lead to uneven burning or tunneling of the candle.
4. Fine-Tuning the Tunnels
There are three ways to fix the tunneling in pillar candles:
5. Don’t Forget to Hug the Edges
After the end of each burn, you should hug in the edges of pillar candles, cup both of your hands together and fold the wax inwards. This will surely help in avoiding the tunneling while allowing the excess was around the edges to be burned along.
]]>One of the major advantages of jars is the safety feature. As the name says, a jar candle is a wax and wick inside a container topped by a lid. They’re easy to carry and reposition when they’re burning, you don’t need a specific type of candle holder to place them and most jar candles look absolutely stunning even when they’re not radiating candlelight and serve as a décor accessory.
On average jar candles burn longer than any other regular sized candles because there is no chance of wax spillage or dripping. You can burn a jar candle for as many hours as you want, on the other hand, a taper or pillar can be burned up to 4 hours at once.
When you burn candle jars, they usually create a larger pool of liquid wax, a larger wax pool is warmer and creates a strong scent throw in the room. There are different types of waxes that are used in jars, which are infused with a higher fragrance load. Jar candles burn evenly, they do not lose their shape unlike other candles and holds up to 3 times more scent.
You don’t have to worry about the wax spills and dripping when you’re dealing with jars, as they come self-contained that means you don’t have to clean up any mess as they melt. The melted wax makes its way back to the jar and melts inside the parameters. This makes them feasible for placing them on the tablecloth or any other decorative space that is prone to dripping wax.
The best thing about jar candles is that they come with reusable containers. Just clean the leftover wax from jars, wash them with lukewarm water and they’re ready to be reused. You can use them for storing small accessories, eatables or if you are a DIY enthusiast you can decorate the jars and use them as tealight holders.

]]>As we grow up we get busy in the city chaos, some of us move to other cities or countries for work or higher education and the home is left with empty spaces to cherish.

1. Shopping Vouchers
I hate shopping said no woman ever, well this applies to your sister as well.

2. Grape Stomping
If your sister is a fan of Sex and The City, we assure you that she loves wine. Some brothers shy away from doing bottoms up with their sisters and if you’re not one of them then grape stomping will turn out to be the perfect team activity for you. You can take along your other siblings as well as the vineyard if you want and enjoy stomping grapes while sipping some wine. It sounds so exotic, doesn’t it?
3. A Fine Dine Restaurant
Are you tired of hearing your sister crying over her shittiest ex and being anti-social while watching psychopathic movies and eating truckloads of ice cream? Bro, we feel you!

You can ask the staff to do the pre decorations with her favorite flowers, candles and don’t forget to order her favorite food. She will love it and this will teach her how she should be treated.
4. Weekend Getaway

5. A Spa Session at Home

Essential oils or fragrance oils are easily available at every home and should be added for an aromatic experience, into the pot as soon as possible after turning off the burner.
STEP 3
Paraffin wax needs to be at 150 Degree Fahrenheit for being ready to be poured. If you have a thermometer, you can use that for measuring the temperature. Just in case if you don’t have a thermometer, wait till a thin film forms on the edges of the tin.
STEP 4
Take your molds and coat it with cooking spray or petroleum jelly to minimize the resistance while taking the candles out. Gently pour the wax in each section, make sure that the wax is evenly poured. Let the wax settle down for some time and then slowly add tabbed wicks, use a toothpick for fixing the wick if it falls.
STEP 5
Let the candles harden, it will take around two to three hours for the wax to settle down properly. Once the candles have settled, gently take out them from the mold. You can place them in the fridge 5-10 minutes before taking out the candles.

You will notice a lot of abstract paintings, you will see the usage of chrome finish in furniture complemented by the glass.
Colors and Décor Accessories to Opt With Modern Décor

Eclectic Décor
An eclectic décor is a combination of multiple styles combined in one, whether it’s the furniture or other décor accessories. It showcases a more aesthetical appeal but it looks much cluttered if things go over the top. As they say, balance is the key, a perfect eclectic décor is a mix of multiple furniture pieces upholstered in different colors and textures, accented by colorful cushions, rugs and wall arts.

Contemporary Décor
Contemporary décor is often mistaken with modern style because of the muted colors. Where modern decor is all about clean lines with bold designs, the contemporary goes vice versa. The furniture is not edgy, it has smooth curved lines and more natural light is invited inside the living spaces through large windows. The more emphasis is given to furniture pieces, lighting accessories, and materials. You will see furniture with soft edges, upholstered in natural fabrics with soft textures.
Colors and Décor Accessories to Opt

Minimalist Décor
Less is more when it comes to minimalist décor, in this type of décor everything is basic. In this décor not only the furniture is minimal but they have neat designs and minimal textures that do not shout for attention. You will find a lot of natural wood colors and textures on furniture, floors and some people follow that trend with the walls too. The furniture is not placed too close, there is a lot of open floors and empty space to adore.
Colors and Décor Accessories to Opt
Just like other modern décor types, white is dominantly used along with grey, lighter shades of brown, ivory and beige. Bright colors should only be used as accents, solid navy blue, monochrome or dark gray accessories would do justice. Opt for a minimal shag or jute rug, succulents, white cement or concrete sculptures. You can choose pastel color candles for accenting the overall décor appeal if you get confused while choosing accessories.
