Lotion & Handmade Candles – Z’handmade

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Looking for a lovely gift for either a family friend, bridesmaids, or wedding party? How about as party favors?  I’ve decided to blog about my dear friend Zafrina Vellani with Z’s Handmade.

Whenever I find interesting items that are handmade, it just seems to be extra special.  The thought of someone giving me something so special as a handmade lotion or a handmade candle makes me feel as if I was important in their lives.

She offers a wonderful variety of smells.  Here’s a list of some of her most popular sales:

Desire – An alluring, sensual fragrance. Top notes of fresh citrus and vetiver and rose geranium, middle notes of jasmine, lily of the valley; and bottom notes of amber guise, vanilla, and musk .

Romance – A truly romantic, passionate fragrance. This unique aroma begins with top notes of fresh ferns and water lilies. Middle notes of fresh rose petals, clove, French jasmine, and lilac, with a background of sandalwood.

Kisses – A playful scent which begins with raspberry, blackberry, and strawberries. Has a note of coconut milk and fresh roses, and hint of Egyptian vanilla and amber musk

To name just a few.  So as you can see she offers some tantalizing smells! ;-)

Here are some additional products that  Z’s Handmade offers:

Soy lotion candle: Soy lotion candles, are also called body candles and massage candles. These are yet another type of candle, this one serving several simultaneous functions. While they light a room, provide a wonderful ambiance, and emit subtle fragrance, lotion candles also contain cosmetic ingredients that make them a superb body moisturizer and massage oil alternative. Because of their ingredients, a true lotion candle will melt at a very low temperature, usually at just 101 – 102 degrees. At slightly above body temperature, they are warm and not hot.
Body Butter: Our Body Butters are amazingly  moisturizing, and the ingredients are top  quality natural butters and rich oils.   The  Shea butter has often been called  the   ultimate moisturizer. It   quickly  melts and   absorbs into the skin,   and its  suitable for   all  skin types. The   Shea  butter leaves your   skin feeling  really   soft and smooth.

Wickless lotion candles: Wickless lotion candles are flameless, no wicks candles. Simply place them on a candle warmer and enjoy the lotion without a flame. Our wickless candles come in sizes of 8oz and 16oz. We offer them in a glass jars as well as a metal tin cans.

Think about it for your next event, whether it be for a wedding, bridal shower, family gathering, or if you just want to treat yourself to something nice.

Happy Planning!

It’s getting cold out there! What to do with coats during events

Friday, December 4th, 2009

The other day I attended a wonderful networking event in Downtown Houston. 

The night was BRRRR..cold!  Not like today (December 4, 2009) in Houston,TX and it’s snowing!  BUT it was chilly out so as anyone would do, I brought my coat.

When I arrived I asked the Host if there was a coat check so that I can leave it there and not have to worry about lugging around my big coat.  I was informed that they did not have a coat check! :(

So it got me thinking, although Houston is not a very cold city, I feel that it should be important to offer that service when doing an event in the winter time.  I cannot begin to tell you how crowded it got and having to carry a coat just added to the “cozy” but tight atmosphere.

So in retrospect if you have an event during the winter it might be a good idea to ask the facility if they can offer you a coat check person at the front.  They can keep an eye on your coat and your guests can have FUN at your event instead of having to worry about where their coat is.  You can check with them to see what if any are the additional rates.

Happy Planning!
