New Lines and Fundraisers

Good morning!

It is another freezing day in Utah! I can't wait for it to get warm again. The sun is shining today, so that is good news!

We now have all of our new lines posted on our website. They will be available to buy on February 1. I love our new lines! I have two favorites. I like our Delicate Floral line and our Minus Wicks line. The Minus Wicks line is different than anything I've seen before. It looks like a candle, but it does not have wax in it. It is water based. There are six new fragrances and they all have a clean, fresh scent that lasts up to 60 hours. They don't have a wick so you put them on a candle warmer. They're great for stinky roommates, pets, or children! I like them.

I am also excited about our ongoing fundraiser. Any nonprofit organization can participate in it. We sell our large Folk Art candles and also our Folk Art Tins. You can earn up to 50% profit. I would have loved this when I was little! It is a great fundraiser because everyone loves candles. They're easy to sell.

Well, that is all of the latest news at For Every Body. Feel free to leave a comment to let us know what you think of our new lines!

New Candles and Candle Tips

Good morning!

It is another freezing day in Utah! It is so cold here. The high the other day was 10 degrees Fahrenheit. I can't remember it being this cold!

Anyway, it has been busy at For Every Body. A group of us went to the AmericaSmart trade show in Atlanta, Georgia last week. We have a permanent showroom there. About 75 percent of our showroom was new. It was a great show! Our most popular lines were our Tea line, our cupcake line (Tiny Tempations), our chocolate line (Divine Chocolates), and our Wickless line. We were surprised. We thought our floral line would be more popular.

I received a comment yesterday about some of our new lines that are not available on our website. They will be available by the end of this month. Our lines are so new that we don't have a supply of everything it. If you would like to order something that is not on our website before the end of the month, please call 888-377-2494 to talk to one of our customer service representatives.

Here are a few candle tips to help you enjoy your candles longer. Let me know if you have any others!

1- Trim the wick before lighting each candle to about 1/4 inch in length.
2- Keep the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch each time the candle is relit to reduce possibility of smoking or sooting.
3- Do not burn in a draft or near a vent.
4- Keep the wick centered. Do not burn the candle if the wick is not centered.
5- Do not allow the flame to touch the side of the jar.
6- If flame smokes, extinguish and trim wick before relighting.
7- Do not pick up or touch during or shortly after burning.
8- Never burn a candle on or near anything flammable.
9- Do not burn the candle more than 2-3 hours at a time.
10- Place the candle on a flat, dry, fire- and heat-resistant surface, away from any drafts or flammable materials.

Have a wonderful day!

Tori Schmanski's Trip to China

Tori Schmanski flew to China today with her parents to receive advanced treatment that she cannot receive in the United States. Her story is heart breaking. In June 2005 she was in a terrible car accident with her sister and cousin. Their car rolled. Tori's cousin and sister were able to escape, but Tori was trapped in the car. She was trapped under water for about 20 minutes before she was rescued.

Tori has suffered from a brain injury ever since the accident. She stayed in the hospital for nine months and has been in and out ever since. Before the accident, Tori was a dancer at dance studio called "The Dance Club" in Orem, Utah. She was very bright and everyone around her loved her. This accident changed her and her family's lives. Now Tori is dependant on her parents for all of her care. She communicates with her eyes, but is not able to speak.

Tori's trip to China gives her family hope. Tori's mother would like to see a smile, and Tori's father hopes to see some of the old Tori back from the treatment.

For Every Body created a candle line especially for Tori. Each candle has a picture of Tori on the front. All of the proceeds are donated to the family to help pay for her medical bills and treatment in China. Candles can be purchased at www.pray4tori.com or at any of For Every Body's outlet locations in Utah.
