Make Your own Febreze

I saw this recipe on Pinterest today and decided this was a great way to save money and wanted to let you all know the secret to making your own febreze. Most of the ingredients that are needed you will already have in your home, so why not give it a try?

What you’ll need:

  • 1/8 Cup of fabric softener (your favorite)
  • 2 tablespoons baking soda
  • Hot tap water
  • Spray bottle (use an empty 27 oz. Febreze bottle

Combine all ingredients in bottle, shake well and use!

Top 12 Small Business Tax Deductions

I love this simple list of the top 12 Small Business tax deductions.

Remember the best advice is to contact a local tax accountant in your area to give you more details on your state requirements.

Small-business tax rule No. 1: Don't mess with the IRS.

But that doesn't mean you should cheat yourself. Take every legal deduction you can. Here are a dozen that even savvy small-business owners and entrepreneurs sometimes forget:


The deductible dozen:
  1. Home office
  2. Office supplies
  3. Furniture
  4. Other equipment
  5. Software and subscriptions
  6. Mileage
  7. Travel, meals, entertainment and gifts
  8. Insurance premiums
  9. Retirement contribution
  10. Social Security
  11. Telephone charges
  12. Child labor


1. Home office - Concerned that claiming a home-office deduction is tantamount to sending an engraved invitation to an Internal Revenue Service auditor? Don't be, says Jan Zobel, author of "Minding Her Own Business: The Self-Employed Woman's Guide to Taxes and Record-keeping.""I don't agree that chances of getting audited are greater with a home-office deduction," says Zobel, a San Francisco Bay-area tax expert, who specializes in serving the self-employed. The key is that you use the term "home office" the same way the IRS does. The tax agency says....

It is not my JOB to Twist Arms

The success of your Business

The success of your business starts with your THOUGHTS!


Your business will only do as well as you THINK IT WILL...


So my question to you is -


What is it that you are thinking and focusing on? Is it positive or negative?


Do those little voices in your head sound like this... "boy I am never going to sell a candle, no one wants to buy these, I can't find anyone to host a party, that other company is kicking my butt, the 25 people I talked with all said no, so this is not working"


If that is what you are thinking then guess what  - that is WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET out of your business. Why? because that is negative energy you are putting out and is coming right back to you.


Instead you should be having thoughts like these...


WOW! I just love these products and I can't wait to share!
Everyone is going to fall in love right away and want to buy


This business is fantastic I just know others are going to want to join my team


Today I am going to have great success and plant many seeds that will produce great fruit!


I am going to think outside the box and continue to share because I know people are looking for product and/or a business like mia bella.


When you put thought like the above YOU have positive energy are happy and confident - people want to buy , do business and join a team with someone that is positive and upbeat!


So I encourage you to start your day off on the right attitude of thinking POSITIVE and focusing on what you want your business to LOOK like... then take daily action step to create success!


Don't forget to take the action steps... remember having success in your business STARTS with thinking positive but you HAVE to WORK your business and put action behind those thoughts.


YOU and YOUR business are WHAT YOU FOCUS ON...so give yourself the change of focusing on the positive aspects of life and business.

The Difference Between Scent-Sations Mia Bella Candles and Others

The difference between Scent-Sations Mia Bella Candles and others is simple, Palm Wax. Scent-Sations uses natural palm wax when making candles. Mia Bella candles discovered that soy wasn't the best way to create candles because soy does not produce the scent throw people enjoy.

Soy candles leave the scent at the top in the form of a puddle which does not let the scent last. However with Scent-Sations Mia Bella candles the scent lasts throughout the life of your candle which means from the top to the bottom of your jar. In addition, Mia Bella has the strongest scented candles on the market today.

Our clean burning candles are easily cleaned up if spilled, simply use warm soapy water and the mess is gone.

 Another difference between Scent-Sations Mia Bella candles and others is our wicks are made of 100% cotton and lead FREE  and the core is zinc free!
