Greeting and Salutations, I feel like it's been forever since I sent out my blog. Life has challenged me in so many ways but I still keep up with my daily affirmation aromatherapy candles and meditation every day. So let me share and bring you guys up to speed. After a very successful holiday season, I finally agreed to schedule my dental appointment for my gum issues. Just for the record, I knew I was having problems since before the pandemic but I was not confident in going into the dentist office because of Covid-19 and all the confusion. I am not proud of myself. I choose to wait and it wa ..read more

You did it! You made it to 2023! Can you just stop for one moment and acknowledge what a feat that is? Can you take a few moments to appreciate the fact that you are a winner! It takes a great deal of time and patience to learn how to navigate life. Between fairytales and integrity lies your truth. The truth of who you are and what you want out of your life. I have watched for years people affirm for and expect the worst in life. And that is why I created my affirmation aromatherapy products. We have enough of life's natural drama that you don't need to affirm for more. If you have not taken a ..read more

Greetings and Salutation, It seems like yesterday that 2022 began and now here we are about to put this year in the history books. I have learned a lot and am so grateful for affirmations, my faith, and the fact that I have survived one of the most challenging economic times in our most recent history. Wow, that sums up how 2022 has been for me. Because of true faith in my higher power and learning to trust my intuition I have seen more of my clients reach more of their goals than ever before. It is amazing to me how things can seem to be at their darkest yet somehow the spirit prevails and so ..read more

What a strange but interesting year we have been having. The pandemic truly changed our world but we have grown and learned so much. That normal life cycle we have had for many moons has changed and I think for the better. I don't take time for granted anymore. I hope you have found some positives in your journey too. As we enter this last quarter of the year, I would like us all to appreciate the family, friendship, and people in our everyday lives that make us who we are. With that said, I would like to invite you to my upcoming events, shows, and opportunities here in the Los Angeles area ..read more

Greetings and Salutations, Well, it's been a while. How have you been? This summer has just flown by, hasn't it! I have been traveling and have to say we have some incredible sites right here in our own backyard. Being shut down for all that time has made me really appreciate the outdoors. I've been spending time understanding how to market myself online as well. Let me tell ya with Facebook turning into Meta, there are a lot of changes that we will all be seeing very soon. I am happy to say we have workshops going on in September both on Zoom and in-person at General Wax in North Hollywood, C ..read more

Greetings and Salutations, It's summertime and I hope you are doing well. Been a busy month here at Candles By Ari, Inc. We started Zoom Mindful Meditations this last week and we had a ball. It's something about gathering together in one mental place and praying/meditating. The power of the mind is incredible once you learn how to tune into yourself. I am so blessed that I have an excellent network of business friends and family. I don't think I could have made it this far without you guys. This is the first summer in over 10 years that I am not planning something for back to school. I retired ..read more

Greetings and Salutations, What a busy, busy month! Starting the month off with a major graduation for my daughter. Let me tell you, with everything that happened with the pandemic, this was a welcomed celebration. l have a great deal of respect for these graduating seniors. The mental endurance that we have had to manage while dealing with the pandemic was amazing. When I was in high school I thought my senior year sucked but these kids truly got the raw end of the deal. Candles by Ari is growing and that includes my media content. If you have not gotten a chance, please subscribe to my YouT ..read more

Greeting and Salutations, I hope this note finds you well and in good spirits. Unfortunately, I have to say that it's been very hard for me and my family lately. One of my younger cousins passed away from a car accident at the end of March. She was a mother of 3 and just 33 years old. This was such a shock to my whole family and we are still in recovery. That's why it's taken me a moment to formulate this blog. It's hard to work when your heart is broken. So, thank you for taking the time to read this one. The latest episode of the podcast was about "Hitting the wall", a phrase used by runners ..read more
