Spice Up Your Home

If you are looking for a scent to fill your home that is autumnal and seasonal, I have the candle for you: The Gingered Pumpkin candle from 5b & Co Candle Company in Brookside, Kansas City, Missouri. It is so perfect for the Fall, Thanksgiving and Halloween season. I love to take them to my open houses and to my listings before they have a showing. I think it gives the home a nice warm feeling, and there is nothing that kills a sale faster than a stinky house…

Another way to get your home smelling ready for company is to boil a concoction of your own – I always use some combination of orange peels, cinnamon, apples, any other spices such as clove or vanilla, and water on your stove. A lovely aroma like spiced apple pie will fill your home. This is a nice way to use your on-hand resources when you don’t have time to get out and buy something.
