Adventures in Being

My Two Tips For Tuesday are as a result of the holiday planning and organizing that we have been focusing on lately. (Thank you My Love for all of your help!)

Candles: We love candles, but how can one have candles without the *toxic side effects?!
Electrical flames! Do you know that they burn for 100 hours?! A pair at our local Lowe's cost $5 and will far out last most purchased candles.
There are a few non toxic candles but they are VERY rare so for most people, electrical flames are not only healthier but also safer as far as fire-prevention goes.

*Most candles have carbon monoxide (CO) in them
Possible side affects are: Fatigue, Nausea, Headaches, Dizziness,
Sleepiness, Irritated eyes, Breathing and respiratory problems, Flu-like symptoms, Death

Totes: This past weekend our family sorted through various and sundry "baby items" such as clothes, shoes, special first and so on. We then bought each child their own tote in which to store the cherished items. This is a great way to organize, declutter and give to others especialy as we approach the holiday season. We enter the New Year Clutter free as someone else enters the New Year with a much loved and well cared for outfit or item.
