We can't wait though, so we are having a Pre-Launch now. We have a couple of products for you to view, with many more becoming available as we progress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well firstly introductions: My name is Louise, but my friends call me Lou. I am a married Mum to three and live in Australia. I decided to start my own business because I want the freedom it gives. I like to call myself an entrepreneur and love to inspire people. I am a Fan of “The Law of Attraction” (have you heard of “The Secret?”) and incorporate those principles into my personal and business life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The business Aspire Candles was born by my belief in “LoA”. I wanted to live by the philosophy that we attract everything into our lives by the way we think, good or bad. Because of this I want to inspire people to think positively and attract good things and feelings into their lives. I thought what better to create inspiration than by lighting a candle to meditate and visualize your dreams. Hence: “It is the Mission of Aspire Candles is to create inspiration and help you to Aspire to your Greatest Dreams.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TUrcT8uacYY/SivTD2N8QII/AAAAAAAAAFo/dz5uK691_wk/s1600-h/imageCourage2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344597445852283010" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 216px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TUrcT8uacYY/SivTD2N8QII/AAAAAAAAAFo/dz5uK691_wk/s320/imageCourage2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TUrcT8uacYY/SivTDhnCPHI/AAAAAAAAAFg/oR5TYcZpb5w/s1600-h/imageAussieNative2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344597440320388210" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 216px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TUrcT8uacYY/SivTDhnCPHI/AAAAAAAAAFg/oR5TYcZpb5w/s320/imageAussieNative2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6212226260792533866-4638087982054928750?l=aspirecandles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspirecandles.blogspot.com/feeds/4638087982054928750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aspirecandles.blogspot.com/2009/06/aspire-candles-is-launching-soon.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6212226260792533866/posts/default/4638087982054928750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6212226260792533866/posts/default/4638087982054928750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspirecandles.blogspot.com/2009/06/aspire-candles-is-launching-soon.html' title='Aspire Candles is Launching Soon!'/><author><name>Lou @ Aspire Candles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12987340908847722019</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Wmi8uNvZ8n0/Tu1esbKHqzI/AAAAAAAAANk/kgnprWDjsAo/s220/AspireCandlesSilverCharcoalsml.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TUrcT8uacYY/SivSwQ1RpqI/AAAAAAAAAFY/yNr54YvZbeI/s72-c/Collection.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212226260792533866.post-688090530265743252</id><published>2009-06-07T07:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-07T07:37:37.631-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Xmas Candles</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TUrcT8uacYY/SivQnTPuu4I/AAAAAAAAAFQ/e6gEp4EIPkQ/s1600-h/XmasCandle1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344594756404951938" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TUrcT8uacYY/SivQnTPuu4I/AAAAAAAAAFQ/e6gEp4EIPkQ/s320/XmasCandle1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I just uploaded some photo's from my camera onto the computer and came across these Photos.

I suppose everyday I have contributed to my challenge in one small or another. I designed some individual labels to go on the candles. This was a lot harder that I thought because I wanted them to be round and couldn't work out how to do it. I finally figured it out though and sent them to the printers.&lt;br /&gt;I also made a couple of batches in my garage and also tested a couple of candles. One candle that I made I can't stand the smell though so I need to work on that one.&lt;br /&gt;I have also wasted a bit of time on research and marketing. I mean I shouldn't really be marketing yet as I have nothing to showcase yet, but I can't help myself because that part of the challenge is something I really enjoy also.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway I had better get back to work as I return to my day job soon after two weeks holiday and need to get this up and running before then&lt;br /&gt;Until next time...&lt;br /&gt;Lou&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6212226260792533866-6424390167720491292?l=aspirecandles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspirecandles.blogspot.com/feeds/6424390167720491292/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aspirecandles.blogspot.com/2009/04/omg-it-is-it-day-9-already-bob-doyles.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6212226260792533866/posts/default/6424390167720491292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6212226260792533866/posts/default/6424390167720491292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspirecandles.blogspot.com/2009/04/omg-it-is-it-day-9-already-bob-doyles.html' title='OMG!

I kinda started a bit early, but funnily enough the last of my supplies for making my candles arrived this morning.&lt;br /&gt;So what better way to mark my challenge other than make a batch. So that's what I did....well after I cleaned the Garage. I now have a new workshop, who hoo, in between my My car, a motorbike, three bicycles, a lawnmower, and a couple of scooters, lol.&lt;br /&gt;I was a little stressed making them. I think because I have told so many people and they are anticipating me doing it. What if I failed, but I finished a batch and I remembered how lovely the process is making them and that's all that should count, right?&lt;br /&gt;Any way I forgot to take any photos, so I'll take some tommorow. Funny thing was though, while I was making them my family sat on chairs and watched me on the other side of the tressle. They said "hey, you should make a video of it and put it on YouTube." Great idea but hasn't it been done before, I'm sure it has, lol!&lt;br /&gt;Oh also I have redesigned my logo the one above.&lt;br /&gt;I have tried to print on labels tonight and it is horrible. Has anyone got any ideas, please.Enough of me tonight because it is midnight here so I just made the deadline for Day one, See ya Later!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6212226260792533866-6326649317093754600?l=aspirecandles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspirecandles.blogspot.com/feeds/6326649317093754600/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aspirecandles.blogspot.com/2009/04/day-one-of-blc-challenge.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6212226260792533866/posts/default/6326649317093754600'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6212226260792533866/posts/default/6326649317093754600'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspirecandles.blogspot.com/2009/04/day-one-of-blc-challenge.html' title='Day one of BLC challenge.'/><author><name>Lou @ Aspire Candles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12987340908847722019</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Wmi8uNvZ8n0/Tu1esbKHqzI/AAAAAAAAANk/kgnprWDjsAo/s220/AspireCandlesSilverCharcoalsml.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212226260792533866.post-535564866355627938</id><published>2009-04-07T05:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-18T07:46:43.219-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aspire; Candles; Challenge; BLC; Essential oils;'/><title type='text'>My challenge on BLC (Boundless Living Challenge) with Bob Doyle: The launch of Aspire Candles</title><content type='html'>Ok for those who don't I have been making scented candles and then I thought: "why don't I make inspirational candles" and now it has all begun.&lt;br /&gt;I have lots of ideas which I will reveal through my challenge, but first I needed to secure a website, a name and a logo. I'll give you all a sneak peep. It is all still under construction but is still out there.&lt;br /&gt;I am ordering all my supplies tommorow and then will get to work in a few days.
