Feel Good Mondays: Seasons Change

Ahhh... Fall is here! The cool brisk breeze and early sundown are signs it's a new season and a chance to start over fresh! Doesn't that feel good! Let's get rid of the old and bring in the new. Leaves will begin to change colors for a beautiful scene of fall foliage. You're already cuddling up on the couch with your cable knit blanket while you burn your Helen Julia Candle. ;) My favorite term for this time of year is "Lovey Dovey" season. Everything just seems to fall right into place. Speaking of falling right into place, Apple picking season is near. Apple picking will surely put you in a good mood.

If you have not already done so, stock up on your Helen Julia Candles to start the season off right. Some of my favorite candles for this time of year are Cashmere Cloud, Sexy Suede and Chocolate Pear-adise. Now this is the way to end your Monday (and any other day of the week).

Feel Good Mondays: To Feel Young Again!

I know I skipped a few Monday's! The long labor day weekend and being hit with the reality summer is really over, it took a while for me to get back into the groove of things! But we're back!

Okay, so over the weekend I had a flashback moment... Flashdance that is! A total 80's flick with 80's hair and 80's apparel! I had a feel good moment and wanted to share it with you. What are the things that make you feel young again? Is it a retro teenage chick flick with Kristy McNichols, listening to an old classic tune while you reminisce about careless activities or browsing through old photos to remind you how carefree life felt at one time in your life? Whatever that moment, movie or photo is, use it as a constant reminder each day that it is not about how old we are but how we feel.

(Jennifer Beal in Flashdance 1983)

Speaking of "how we feel", browse through Helen Julia Candles descriptions and read the meaning behind names chosen for each scent. They're very enticing and guaranteed to make you feel young and feel good this Monday!

Happy Monday!

Cowiebunga!

I hate to say it but... Summer is winding down. Kids are already back to school, fall items are already in stores and Halloween seasonal shops are already setting up shop. Ok, I took it too far! I don't want to look that far ahead!

Don't fret... Colin Cowie is here to save the day! Colin Cowie will be on NBC's The Today Show, Thursday, August 27th, to help kick-off your end of season outdoor soiree in style with inexpensive centerpieces that work for day or night.

Remember, you can find Helen Julia listed as one of Colin Cowie's "Fantastic Finds". A chic item chosen by Mr. Fabulous himself!

Tis the season to stock up on your favorite Helen Julia Candles for those cozy autumn nights that are right around the corner... I hate to be a buzz kill.

Feel Good Mondays: The Spa Treatment

Welcome to our weekly posts "Feel Good Monday's". I know how challenging it can be to jump-start your day after a nice weekend. Monday's are a drag but it's a kick-off to the week. So, I thought I'd help start the week off "feeling good". Every Monday, I'll post a feel good blog to help you get through your day while adding a friendly reminder to take a deep breath, exhale and stop taking life so seriously!

Doesn't a spa treatment sound fantastic? I know I'm way overdue for the spa! Just picture yourself getting a deep tissue massage (by a handsome masseur or beautiful masseuse)... Of course I had to throw that in there to get the visual accurate! ;-) Then off to the steam room to relieve all of that stress that made you book the appointment for the spa in the first place! Now just picture it...

Aren't you ready to book that appointment today? You deserve it! Some of my favorite spas I love to visit when it's "about that time" to take the edge off are:

• Soho Sanctuary (New York City, Soho)
• Gansevoort Spa (New York City, Meatpacking District)
• Eden Day Spa (New York City, Tribeca)
• Walker's Apothecary (Jersey City, NJ)
• Skin Couture (Los Angeles, CA)

I promise you will not be disappointed after an experience at these locations! I know our schedules can get out of hand where it's hard to find some ME time. Therefore, if you cannot physically get to a spa, bring the spa to you and save on cash. That's where Helen Julia comes into play! Experience luxury through aromatherapy by burning our beautifully scented soy candles. Some of our favorite candles are Terrycloth Robe (Fresh Laundry Scent), Pearl Drop (Grapefruit Citrus & Lavender Scent) and Cashmere Cloud (Amber, Jasmine, Sandalwood and Musk Scent) just to name a few. Lighting a Helen Julia Candle will dramatically improve your mood.

Isn't your Monday beginning to look and feel better!
