100% Pure Beeswax Menorah Hanukkah Candles #Giveaway{ends 12/10}

giveaway · 

Hanukkah 2019 will begin in the evening of Sunday, December 22 and the centerpiece of the Hanukkah celebration is the Hanukkah or menorah, a candelabrum that holds nine candles.

The Fort Schuyler Trading Company is sponsoring a 100% Pure Beeswax Menorah Hanukkah Taper Candles giveaway and as a bonus, Crooked Brook is throwing in one, Fleece Blanket (winner’s choice of color), one Sweatshirt Blanket (Royal Blue) and one, travel/neck Buckwheat Hull Pillow made in 100% Organic Cotton Twill Fabric!

100% pure beeswax Menorah candles are smaller than taper candles but larger than birthday candles and come in a wide variety of dimensions. Because of this, they can be used in many different settings.

Fort Schuyler Trading didn’t have a menorah to take the photos of the candles, but they do have a vintage silverplate angel candle holder that they used for the photo and are including it in this giveaway.

This silverplate angel candle holder was made in Italy for the Wm A Rogers Company and imported by Oneida silversmiths, Oneida, N.Y as part of their Holiday decor line in the 1970s. It measures approx. 3 1/2″ tall by 3″ wide.

4 Ways to Keep Warm During the Colder Months

Reviews · 

Sometimes it doesn’t matter what we seem to do, we feel the cold. That’s especially true for the ladies who tend to stay colder than men, especially in their extremities. To avoid getting sick in the first months of the year while the temperatures are often frigid, here are a few tips to stay warmer.

Keep the Fireplace Well Stocked

In homes that are permitted to have a natural wood burning fireplace, not running out of chopped firewood is priority number one. The last thing you want is to run out of prepared wood ready to burn in the late evening when the temperatures outside are less than friendly.

Finding the best splitting axe reviews is not easy, so if you don’t already own a suitable one, take care to choose carefully according to both your body size and arm strength. A quality axe that’s too heavy for you to easily swing up and down is an ineffective one; pick based on your height, arm strength and overall flexibility.

Fluffy Blankets

Gone are the days when a rough-feeling blanket is your only choice. Now there are soft, fluffy blankets with interesting designs for adults or little kids to cover themselves on cold nights. Whether using one to feel cozier while lying on the sofa in front of the TV or over the comforter to provide greater insulation throughout the night, you can never go wrong with an extra blanket, or three.

Also, consider whether you may have guests over during the colder months who are using your guest bedroom. They’ll surely enjoy the optional blanket and will feel it’s a thoughtful touch, whether they find that they need it or not. And, if you have one or more dogs in the home, they will love their own blanket too.

Play Games That Keep You Active

Playing games as a group is ideal because it creates a competitive environment to enhance gameplay. However, on colder days, playing games like Twister and other ones that involve you physically interacting with the game helps you stay warmer by preventing couch surfing or being sedentary. Other indoor games that stay away from the cold outdoors are excellent options too.

Eat Hearty Meals That Warm Your Body

A hearty winter stew or creamy chicken soups and thick, crusty bread to dip into it make for good winter warmers at the dinner table. The last thing you want is a cold salad, even it has some delicious dressing on it! Corn Chowder is another dish that remains popular to warm the heart up. Also, baked chicken pies with mash potatoes or Mac ‘n’ Cheese with cauliflower both remain favorites that are delicious when hiding from the cold indoors.

Staying warm on cold days is half the battle to avoid getting sick and developing a serious illness. The other half of the battle is feeding yourself well, so your immune system stays strong enough to ward off any winter germs flying around unsympathetically, ready to strike.
