Kendi Lux #NewYear2023

Candles are like an obsession for me. I love to buy them, burn them, collect them. The unque ones I do not burn, but keep in a hutch to display - like a shaped one or one with a cool container. Some mean special things to me - like Mason's memorial candles and a candle we burned at a Donate Life Ceremony. Some I buy for the specific scents of the season. And some I buy over and over because the scent and quality are amazing. And that is what I have found in Kendi Lux. At Kendi Lux, they offer a wide variety of aroma profiles to appeal to just about anyone’s interests. From floral and woodsy, to spicy and fruity, there is surely something that they will love to burn time and time again.

I got the scent About Last Night (I just love the names, so accurate!). Kendi Lux's seductive scent stirs up naughty memories of a steamy encounter from last night. The sensual and earthy aromas of this fragrance will take you back to the sexy affair, keeping the fiery passion alive. That special someone will be burning in your memory time and time again. A creamy bouquet of Heliotrope is complemented with refreshing Water Lotus. Earthy notes of Oakmoss are announced with Neroli throughout. A sweet blend of Amber and Cane sugar adds depth to this fragrant affair.

Red Rooster Coffee #NewYear2023

This holiday season has been weird for me work wise, will some extra nice paid days off. But now that is the New Year, it is time to get back on track and back on schedule! And a good cup of coffee to get my day going helps with that! Established in 2010 in downtown Floyd, VA, Red Rooster was created with the simple notion of roasting excellent coffee for the owner’s existing coffee house. Soon, word of Red Rooster's quality spread around Virginia and up and down the East Coast. Today, they employ over 40 people while roasting some of the best coffee in the world. While they have won numerous awards and accolades for their coffee quality, the true passion is in making a positive social impact both at home and abroad at the coffee's origin. Here are a few of the ones we tried and loved:

Funky Chicken - A Go-To Crowd-Pleaser Coffee. When Red Rooster first began roasting coffee they wanted to create a blend that would appeal to all audiences. With a lot of practice and a little luck, they created a winner. This blend features three coffees from three origins, roasted to three different profiles to create one of the most complex yet approachable medium to dark roast blends you can find.

Ethiopia Worka Sakaro Anaerobic Natural - This consistently amazing coffee packs a lot of berry punch. Strawberry dominates with supporting notes of blackberry, raspberry and rose. Expect plenty of chocolate and a creamy mouthfeel. For several years, Ethiopia Worka has been a favorite coffee and the recent addition of an anaerobic step in the natural process has increased the mouthfeel and complexity.

Columbian Finca Samboni Gesha Anaerobic Natural - Innovative producer John Samboni brings this exquisite experimental anaerobic gesha from his farm in Algeciras, Colombia. Gesha coffee is considered to be the top-tier of specialty coffee and is known for its powerful and dynamic flavor notes. Samboni's anaerobic fermentation process enhances the unique characteristics of this varietal resulting in a complex, fruity, and refreshing cup.

Solights For #NewYear2023

I love adding elements to home decor and party decor that are fun and make the atmosphere unique. People who invest in small improvements like LED lights can see a long-term return. Not only are sustainable lights good for your home, they provide a lot of unique aesthetic options that friends and family members will love. Solight-Designs are used by many for their kid’s nightlight, and even used for weddings to light the scene and give out as party favors afterwards. Choosing an optimal design goes a long way.

Would you prefer a star origami shape that unfolds to instantly illuminate any room, or a color changing box with a plethora or color options? By allowing natural daylight through windows, you will reduce the need for artificial lighting, and people who work in well-lit offices tend to have lower stress levels. Opt for a lighting option where lights tap into the grid to save on electricity costs, alongside saving 90lbs of carbon emissions per person annually.

I love the Solar Helix. This solar lantern is a rainbow trapped in a cube! Have fun with a multitude of colors with these collapsible solar cube lights. Perfect colorful solar lamp for celebrations and special colorful evening at home with the kids or a romantic evening with your partner. This has 6 colors in one lamp. Use the blue light to lift your spirits, use the red light to keep mosquitoes away, green light is perfect for seeing farther at night.
