Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

California: Candle Making

By Mercie Hallow

In the past only candle manufacturers are knowledgeable and entitled to create candles. Candles that they produce usually look like long elongated pieces of very basic colors. Candles then have only one smell: it smelt of candle wax. Although art and design can be done through candles, it still remains as it is- long and elongated tubes. Modern techniques in candle making resolved to have even a beginner create his own unique candle version.

To make a candle first step is to prepare the ingredients. The ingredients are: paraffin wax, wax dyes, candle mold, candle wick, thermometer, metal saucepan, spoon and candle scent (optional). Melt the wax into the metal saucepan and add wax dye or candle scent. Remove wax from heat and transfer to mold and let it cool. This is the basic and easiest way to make candle wax.

There are lots of designs that can be done through candles as they are very pliable and easy to work with. You can actually make fake food out of candles. Imagine the excitement and joy a crafter can feel by working on a candle burger, candle chocolate, cookie, tea, ice cream, etc. These innovative ways of working with candles make candle making a huge success in craft fairs and festivals.

Wax dyes or candle colorants are widely available in any hobby stores or craft stores anywhere. They are colorants used to create hues in your candle art. Candle scents on the other hand are used to provide a scent with your candle. Imagine a strawberry candle with a strawberry scent. It definitely looks and smells like the real thing you can fool your friends in eating it!

Crafts such as these are excellent business opportunities that can triple your money in no time. You just need a little creativity and alas! Youre low capital may just jump to huge profits in the end.
