I can’t wait to share my first DIY candles with you today. They were simple and fun to make.

I'd also like to give my sponsors Fresh Step Total Control with the power of Febreze and Sam's Club another big round of applause for providing me $100 to donate to a pet-related organization of my choice! I participated in a local charity event called the Big Pay Back where my $100 donation to The People for Animals was doubled! This will help many cats and dogs in my community have better lives. Thank you, thank you!

- Shake well to mix ingredients.
- Sprinkle the mix liberally on carpet and let sit for as long as you can. I aim for at least 30 minutes.
- Then vacuum up.
