and read the article that I put together over there all about how I keep my stress level low and manage to be ready to holiday guests whenever the opportunity arises.

About 1 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano (or about 1/2 as much dried oregano!).2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped.

2 Tbsp white vinegar.3 Tbsp lemon juice.1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil.

Salt and pepper.Start by picking some zucchini from your garden or by picking some up at the farmer’s market.

This is how ours looks straight out of the garden, covered  in thistle fluff, dried zucchini blossoms, and a little bit of dirt.

Make sure you give them a good cleaning before you get started!This one really only melts the wax in the center of its bowl so I still don’t get the full use out of my wax, but it’s so much better than just letting all that wax go to waste!

It’s also nice to be able to turn on the scent by just flicking a switch rather than always having to light it.Also, it might be just me and my nose who think this, but I’m pretty sure the candle pieces actually scent my home better than the actual little warming pellets that are meant for this thing.

So, it’s just a good situation all around!.I do end up with a few little pieces of wick floating around in there, but that doesn’t really bother me at all.
