#Eco Tools

[triedandthoughts]

WHAT IS IT:  Quick Declutter of Dec 2022

THOUGHTS:

Eco Tools Sponge - Had this one for awhile, it had small cuts from me not being gentle when washing my sponges. I could still use it but it annoys me to see the small cuts in the sponge, so I threw it out. I cut it in half so any dumpster divas who sees this won't use it for their safety and also just wanted to see what was inside lol.

Rraw Skicare Clayey Mask - Aside from not being consistent when doing a mask, didn't really see much of a difference. I was not familiar with the ingredients of this mask. However, I did like that it was green lol (it's giving Shrek), very diff from the other masks I've tried. My skin does feel smooth after but it does leave a slight green tint after not really a dealbreaker for me because I only use it at night.

I'M MEME I'm Mystery Flash Tint in Mystery Rose Ade (Mini) - This was a freebie when I bought something from the brand last May of 2021. Didn't really like it at first because of the smell (smells like a strong wine, and I am not a fan) but I got used to it because I brought it with me to work. It's very convenient since it's a mini. The tint was just okay. Nothing special I'd say. Does not sit on the cracks of the lips, it stays on the lips for a good amount of time. Overall okay.

Essence Eyeshadow Primer - Since I don't wear makeup on a daily, but when I do wear makeup I usually skip the eyeshadow just a brown color whether it be my bronzer/contour shade that's fine. I just bought it because I think it might be nice to have one just in case. Didn't really see the full potential of this product as I had it for a long time and when tiktok was showing hacks on how to make an eyeshadow last longer, I didn't hesitate to throw this one out.

Face Republic Perfect Cover BB Cream - This was again a freebie when I bought a sunscreen from the brand. TBH the only thing I remember when I used it was the shade was too light for me, didn't really remember if it worked on my oily/acne prone skin. Sarreh!

Let me share a few of my favorite DIY art supplies with you because I don’t think we have…

Another thing to take into consideration, especially with stuff like power tools, is which ones are mutually compatible. While one brand may make the absolutely best electric hedge trimmer ever, this other brand may make one that is almost as good - and their batteries can be swapped over to their lawn mower, the edger, the weed wacker, and an inverter to use in power outage as an emergency cell phone station.

The result is that you have the second best hedge trimmer in its class, but only have to share one battery and one charger between another dozen power tools which are also best or second best in their class. Money saving, space saving, and you've got high quality goods that'll last decades.

Aight y'all. Here's a lesson I learned from my wife, and I wish I'd learned it years ago:

Before you buy anything, take 5 minutes to search (preferably with a non-Google search engine like DuckDuckGo) "best [whatever] for [specific purpose if necessary]."

Make sure you look at who the reviews are from; there are a lot of bad spam sites out there, but you can find good lists on reputable sites. However, you'll get some of the best lists on Reddit.

Most of what you'll find at the top of the lists on Amazon (and Walmart) are people who have paid for that spot. You'll still have to use discernment to make sure you're picking a good review site, but I'm not kidding when i say that the last time we had to buy a plunger, I ended up on a thread on a plumber's forum where they were discussing which plunger they keep in their own bathroom. (The overwhelming winner was something called a Toilet Saber, and... it's much easier to use than the usual style of plunger, actually.)

She searches "best potato peeler" and "best pastry blender" and "best standing desk" and it seems so obvious, right, but she does it for literally everything and the average quality of things I own has gone way, way up since I started taking 5 minutes to search "best yoga socks" and "best cuticle trimmers" and then going to buy whatever it is.

Her research skills go into overdrive when it comes to big purchases; she's the one who researched our sublimation printer and found the desk I currently use. If there's an extremely passionate subreddit out there about the thing she wants to buy, she'll find it and then read half a dozen reviews.

I cannot stress enough how much she does this. About. Everything. And how much everything we own is better as a result.

It's amazing, honestly.

The Fire Hazards of Soot and Debris Build-Up: Why Chimney Cleaning Matters

A fireplace can be a cozy addition to your home, but without proper maintenance, it can also become a fire hazard. Over time, soot and debris accumulate in your chimney, increasing the risk of dangerous chimney fires. Regular chimney cleaning is essential to reduce these risks and ensure your fireplace operates safely. This article explores how soot and debris build-up can lead to fires and why professional chimney cleaning is a must for every homeowner.

How Soot Contributes to Fire Risks

Soot is a byproduct of burning wood or fossil fuels. As smoke rises through the chimney, particles from the combustion process settle on the chimney walls, forming layers of soot. While soot itself is less flammable than creosote, its accumulation can narrow the chimney’s flue, restricting airflow. This creates an environment where heat and gases can become trapped, increasing the likelihood of a fire.

Routine chimney cleaning removes this build-up, ensuring proper ventilation and reducing fire risks.

The Dangers of Debris in Your Chimney

In addition to soot, chimneys often collect debris like leaves, bird nests, and twigs. This is especially common in chimneys without caps. These materials are highly flammable and can ignite if exposed to sparks or intense heat from your fireplace.

A thorough chimney cleaning clears out these obstructions, preventing blockages and ensuring your chimney is free of combustible materials.

How Blockages Lead to Dangerous Conditions

When soot and debris build up in a chimney, they can create blockages that hinder the flow of smoke and gases. This not only increases fire risks but can also cause harmful substances like carbon monoxide to enter your home. Blockages also trap heat, which can ignite any flammable material in the chimney.

Professional chimney cleaning ensures that your flue is clear and your chimney functions as it should, protecting your home and family.

Signs That Your Chimney Needs Cleaning

It’s important to recognize the signs of excessive soot and debris build-up before they become a problem. Look for:

A strong, smoky odor coming from the fireplace

Reduced airflow or smoke backing up into your living space

Visible soot or debris falling into the fireplace

Strange noises, which may indicate animals or blockages

If you notice any of these issues, schedule a chimney cleaning immediately to address the risks.

Why Professional Chimney Cleaning is Essential

While some homeowners attempt to clean their chimneys themselves, professional chimney cleaning is more thorough and effective. Certified chimney sweeps use specialized tools to remove soot and debris, inspect for hidden damage, and ensure your chimney is safe for use. Regular cleaning not only reduces fire hazards but also improves the efficiency of your fireplace.

Conclusion

Soot and debris build-up in your chimney can create significant fire risks if left unchecked. Regular chimney cleaning removes these hazards, improves airflow, and ensures your fireplace operates safely and efficiently. Don’t wait for a problem to arise—schedule a professional chimney cleaning today and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a clean and safe chimney.

Craft Unique Candles with Aai Planet Dry Flowers and Tea Lights

Candle making is an art form that has gained immense popularity over the years, not just as a hobby but also as a business opportunity. From the comforting glow of a tea light to the aromatic luxury of a scented candle, the possibilities are endless. But the beauty of a candle doesn’t just lie in its scent or burn time—it’s also about the aesthetics. That’s where the right materials come into play. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned candle artisan, having access to premium materials can elevate your creations to the next level. In this blog, we will discuss how to use the Best Acrylic tea light cup for candle, explore the Top Candle making materials, and integrate the charm of Aai Planet Dry Flowers (Random) to create stunning candles.

1. The Growing Popularity of Candle Making

Candle making has seen a surge in popularity, with more and more people seeking to create their own customized candles. This interest can be attributed to several factors:

Personalization: DIY candles allow you to control every aspect of the final product—its scent, color, size, and design.

Cost-effective gifts: Handmade candles are thoughtful and cost-effective gifts that can be tailored to fit any occasion.

Mindfulness and relaxation: The process of making candles can be therapeutic, offering a calm and creative escape from everyday stress.

As this craft continues to grow, many crafters are seeking innovative ways to enhance their candle-making process. That’s where Aai Planet Dry Flowers (Random) and the Best Acrylic tea light cup for candle come in.

2. Essential Candle Making Materials You Need

Before you can start making beautiful, aromatic candles, it’s important to gather the essential materials. Here are the Top Candle making materials you’ll need:

a. Wax Options

The wax is the foundation of any candle, and choosing the right type is crucial. Each kind of wax has its pros and cons, which we’ll break down below.

Soy Wax: A favorite among eco-conscious consumers, soy wax is all-natural and biodegradable. It’s derived from soybean oil and burns cleaner than other waxes, producing less soot.

Paraffin Wax: The most commonly used candle wax, paraffin is petroleum-based and holds fragrance well. It's also widely available and affordable.

Beeswax: Beeswax is known for its natural honey scent and golden hue. It's a premium option, great for making luxury candles.

Gel Wax: If you want to make transparent candles, gel wax is the go-to material. It's perfect for showcasing decorative elements like Aai Planet Dry Flowers (Random).

Coconut Wax: This eco-friendly wax is growing in popularity due to its slow burn time and ability to hold fragrance exceptionally well.

b. Wicks

The wick is another crucial component. It dictates how well the candle burns and for how long. You need to choose the wick based on the type of wax and the size of your candle.

Cotton Wicks: A popular choice, cotton wicks burn steadily and are versatile enough for many wax types.

Wooden Wicks: These are trendy and offer a unique crackling sound, enhancing the sensory experience of the candle.

Hemp Wicks: A great option for natural candles, hemp wicks burn longer and provide an even flame.

c. Fragrance Oils

Adding fragrance oils can elevate a candle from a simple light source to an aromatic experience. Some of the most popular choices include:

Lavender: Known for its calming effects, lavender is a popular choice for relaxation.

Vanilla: A classic, warm scent that pairs well with almost any other fragrance.

Citrus: Lemon and orange scents bring freshness and energy to any room.

Rose: A romantic, floral scent that’s always a favorite for special occasions.

When choosing fragrance oils, make sure they’re specifically designed for candle making, as regular oils may not mix properly with wax.

d. Dyes

To give your candles a pop of color, you can add candle dyes. Dyes come in various forms:

Liquid Dyes: These are easy to mix into your melted wax and can produce vibrant colors.

Dye Chips: These are solid, pigmented pieces that melt along with your wax, offering a strong and rich color payoff.

Natural Colorants: If you’re going for an eco-friendly approach, you can use natural colorants like beetroot powder or turmeric to tint your wax.

e. Candle Containers

When it comes to container candles, the vessel you choose is just as important as the wax. Some options include:

Glass Jars: A versatile and stylish choice, glass jars come in various shapes and sizes.

Metal Tins: For a more rustic look, metal tins are durable and reusable.

Ceramic Pots: For a high-end candle, ceramic pots add an elegant touch.

Acrylic Tea Light Cups: The Best Acrylic tea light cup for candle is perfect for tea light candles.

These are durable, transparent, and ideal for showcasing any decorative elements you add.

f. Decorative Elements: Adding Aai Planet Dry Flowers (Random)

The finishing touch to any candle is its design, and adding decorative elements like dried flowers can take your creations to the next level. Aai Planet Dry Flowers (Random) are perfect for this purpose. These flowers bring a touch of nature to your candles, making them visually appealing and enhancing their artisanal quality.

3. The Best Acrylic Tea Light Cup for Candle

When it comes to making tea light candles, the container you choose is key. The Best Acrylic tea light cup for candle is a superior choice for several reasons:

a. Heat Resistance

Acrylic tea light cups are designed to handle the heat produced by the candle flame. This makes them a safer alternative to glass, which can crack or shatter under high temperatures.

b. Durability

Acrylic is known for its durability. These tea light cups are resistant to breakage, making them ideal for homes with children or pets.

c. Aesthetic Appeal

The transparency of acrylic allows the beauty of the candle to shine through. This is particularly useful when you’re using decorative elements like Aai Planet Dry Flowers (Random). The clarity of the acrylic enhances the appearance of the dried flowers, giving your candles a professional, high-end look.

d. Versatility

The Best Acrylic tea light cup for candle is perfect for a variety of settings. Whether you’re making candles for personal use, gifts, or selling them commercially, these acrylic cups offer a sleek, modern look that appeals to all kinds of customers.

4. Elevating Your Candle Designs with Aai Planet Dry Flowers (Random)

Dried flowers have become a popular decorative element in candle making. They add an earthy, rustic charm to candles and appeal to customers who appreciate natural beauty. Here’s how you can incorporate Aai Planet Dry Flowers (Random) into your candle designs:

a. Embedding Dried Flowers in Gel Wax

If you’re using gel wax, embedding dried flowers is a great way to make them the focal point of your candle. Gel wax is transparent, allowing the flowers to be visible from all angles.

Pour a thin layer of gel wax into your mold.

Place the dried flowers on top.

Pour the remaining gel wax carefully, ensuring the flowers stay in place.

b. Decorating the Candle Surface

If you’re working with soy or paraffin wax, you can press the dried flowers into the surface of the candle just before it fully hardens. This creates a delicate, natural decoration that enhances the candle's overall appearance.

c. Combining Dried Flowers with Fragrances

For a cohesive design, pair the flowers with complementary fragrance oils. For example, lavender flowers paired with a lavender-scented candle create a relaxing and beautiful piece.

5. How to Make Tea Light Candles with Aai Planet Dry Flowers

Tea light candles are small, versatile, and easy to make. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating your own tea light candles using the Best Acrylic tea light cup for candle and Aai Planet Dry Flowers (Random).

a. Materials You’ll Need

Soy wax or paraffin wax

Wicks

Fragrance oils of your choice

Aai Planet Dry Flowers (Random)

Best Acrylic tea light cup for candle

Double boiler or wax melter

Candle dye (optional)

b. Step-by-Step Instructions

Melt the Wax: Use a double boiler or wax melter to melt the wax of your choice.

Add Fragrance: Once the wax has melted, remove it from the heat and add your chosen fragrance oils. Stir well to ensure the fragrance is evenly distributed.

Add Dye (Optional): If you want to color your tea lights, now is the time to add your dye.

Prepare the Tea Light Cups: Place the wicks in the center of the Best Acrylic tea light cup for candle.

Add Dried Flowers: Carefully place the Aai Planet Dry Flowers (Random) into the cups. You can either sprinkle them on top or arrange them at the base of the wick.

Pour the Wax: Pour the melted wax into the tea light cups, being careful not to disturb the flowers.

Let the Candles Set: Allow the candles to cool and harden completely before trimming the wicks.

6. Advanced Candle Making Techniques

Once you’ve mastered the basics, you can move on to more advanced candle-making techniques:

a. Layered Candles

Create visually stunning candles by layering different colors or scents. Simply pour one layer of wax, let it harden, and then pour the next.

b. Ombré Effect

For a beautiful gradient effect, start with a deeply colored wax and gradually add more uncolored wax as you continue pouring.

c. Carved Candles

After your candles have set, you can carve intricate designs into the wax for a truly unique look.

Conclusion

Candle making is a versatile and rewarding craft that allows for endless creativity. By using high-quality materials like the Best Acrylic tea light cup for candle and Aai Planet Dry Flowers (Random), you can create beautiful, functional, and artistic candles that stand out from the rest.
