Did you know that there is one product that you can buy that will indulge all five of your senses at once? It’s a product that you are familiar with and one that is affordable. It’s a candle.
Candles can appeal to all five senses:
- Touch. You can feel the texture of the candle itself or you can feel the heat emanating off of the candle.
- Sight. There are so many beautiful, colorful candles to choose from. I like the ones with the colored wax that drips down the sides.
- Smell. A scented candle is terrific because it fills the whole house with a wonderful smell.
- Sound. If you listen carefully you will sometimes hear the crackling of the flame burning on a candle.
- Taste. Okay, you shouldn’t actually taste a candle. However candles are so often associated with the romantic candlelit dinner that it’s hard to deny that they can play an important role in indulging the sense of taste.
Candles are a great little product. They set the mood for different events. They create a warm feeling in your home. And they give you an easy and affordable way to treat yourself to indulgence of all five of your senses.
Feeling Good About my Life

One of the biggest things that I have noticed in my adult life is that most people are walking around unhappy. They are unhappy with the situations that they are in, the jobs that they are working, and yet they do nothing about it. It actually makes me sad when I see these people – if we only have one life to live, why would you live a life that you are disappointed in?
Thankfully, that isn’t the way I feel about my life. I am constantly reminded of my choices in life when I stare up at my diploma frame in my study at home, and I am thankful for the choices that I have made. Going to college was the first step on my journey.
You see, I received my education at college which would pave my way for my career and income for my life. If I had not gone to college, I might have been flipping burgers for a living and not had the opportunity to be in a financial position to buy the things that I truly desired.
I also would never have met my wife, which would mean that I wouldn’t have my kids either. I couldn’t imagine life without them as they bring so much joy to me each day.
Even if it takes looking up at my diploma to make me feel good about my life, I don’t mind. I have everything that I ever wanted, and that isn’t so bad.
2 Online Degrees at Once

Getting a degree online is easy for some people but difficult for others. For those people who find it easy to do the work that is required to get an online degree it is not too much of a stretch to try to get two online degrees at once. The reason for this is that the main problem people have with an online degree is being self-disciplined enough to do the work on their own. If you are motivated enough to be good at getting an online degree then it’s not too hard to maintain that motivation enough to get a second online degree at the same time.
People who get two online degrees at the same time typically go for two degrees that are in related fields. For example someone who is getting their online occupational therapy degree might decide to look at other online medical degrees such as an audiology online degree. This makes it easier to do two different degrees because there is a lot of overlap in the material that is being studied. However there are some people who do get two radically different degrees online at the same time. Those people have to be highly skilled at online classes but it’s something that can work if online school is good for you.
Funding my Christmas Purchases

Even though I thought I had things figured out this year in terms of my finances, I didn’t expect the bankruptcy of the company that I had worked for during the past twenty years. I guess you take it for granted that it will always be there, but I suppose nothing is certain anymore.
So, for the first time in twenty years, I found myself unemployed. Don’t get me wrong, it was a blast for the first week, but after that reality started setting in, and I was getting worried. What jobs are out there for someone my age that pay the same as I was earning at my last job?
Not that many. In fact, there was one job that I applied for that I could expect to be making something similar to what I was used to in five years, but that was about as close as it was going to get.
It wasn’t the best time of year to lose my job either, since my children expect Christmas gifts. Thankfully, I have a buddy that showed me how I could sell gold for cash, and this way I could get the money I needed by selling some of the gold jewelry that I inherited over the years from my relatives.
I am just so thankful that there are places that let you sell gold jewelry for cash – otherwise I don’t know where I would have found the money for gifts this year.
