Happy 12th Anniversary Gold Canyon!


It all started with a Fresh Orange candle. Gold Canyon is celebrating its 12th anniversary this month by giving you $12 off of your next on-line order of $50 or more. Just order through my website, enter the promo code CADW12YEAR, and save! The gift's on YOU! But hurry. The sale ends June 23rd.

Looney for Lemon Bar

My absolute, all-time favorite Gold Canyon candle EVER just happens to be our seasonal Lemon Bar fragrance. It's sweet and tart all at the same time, with that extra hint of shortbread crust in the background. As a part of the Baking Line, which has a burn time of 170 hours, I can enjoy it for a very long time. But don't worry -- I'm never out. I stock up in the Summer so that I can enjoy the fragrance all year long! They only last until August. Get yours while you still can!

Here's a FANTASTIC recipe for Lemon Bars. Try it out and tell me what you think!

Incredible Lemon Bars
Ingredients:

1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
2/3 cup confectioners sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon confectioners sugar

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, 1/3 cup of confectioners sugar, and butter until butter is in very small crumbs. Press into the bottom of an 11 x 7 inch pan.

2. Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and lightly browned. While the crust is baking, whisk together the eggs, 2/3 cup of confectioners sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Just before the crust is done, stir in the baking powder. Pour over the crust while it is hot, and return to the oven.

3. Bake for another 25 minutes, until set. Dust with remaining confectioners sugar when cool.

My Dream Job

Once upon a time, an ambitious woman entered a successful store that had a reputation for its beauty and fine-quality merchandise. She walked right up to the owner and said, "I am very impressed with your establishment. I'd like to come on board here and start a career. I can promise you that I will work hard and do a great job. All I ask in return is the following:
1. First, I'd like 25% profit on everything I sell, and to be paide the day I sell it.
2. If I meet special goals, I'd like to earn discounts and gift cards for other high-quality mercahndise.
3. I'd like the opportunity to purchase the mercahndise we sell at a 25% discount and get free products.
4. If I bring in and train one new sales person, I think I deserve a percentage of profits off everything they sell. And, if I bring in three new people, I want a raise on that percentage, as well as referrals.
5. When I do well, I expect praise, bonuses and recognition, not to mention dream vacations to exotic locations, and maybe even a Mercedes!
By the way: I'm afraid I'm not into the 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. scene, as my family always comes first, so I will want to make my own schedule for when it suits me best.
OK -- I think that about covers it. So when can I start?"
After the owner of the store recovered from shock, he roared with laughter and said, "Lady, you can't be serioius. You are living in a dream world. You can't find an opportunity like that anywhere!"

HE WAS WRONG! That woman could have been me. I found that opportunity -- and more -- as a Gold Canyon Demonstrator. Contact me and I'll tell you how you can get started today for FREE! I'm dreaming. Please don't wake me!

Scent Blending Recipes

Scent Blending Recipes are carefully selected recipes of individual candles that, when burned together, create their own unique blended scent.

To maximize your experience, follow the recipe carefully. Alterations will not make it as wonderful of a blend. First, arrange the candles on a heat-safe surface with the largest in the middle and the smaller surrounding it. Be sure to use a holder for votives and tealights. Place each candle approximately two inches apart in the arrangement. Finally, light each candle and allow the scents to mix for at least 30 minutes. Enjoy!
