Although Lampe Berger has raised its price for fragrance, Ann’s is keeping our prices the same.  That means you continue to get a half-liter bottle of Lampe Berger for $18.95 each and the liter size for $31.95!  Happy New Year!

If you received a Lampe Berger for Christmas, have you used it yet?   If not, what are you waiting for?  Your Lampe Berger came with instructions, but here is the process in a nutshell:

Fill the lampe only half-way, no more.  There needs to be air in the lampe for it to work.  Insert the wick, let it soak for 20 minutes.  (Don’t “help” it saturate by swirling the lampe; let it saturate on its own.)  Now you’re ready to light the burner with a match.  Let it flame for 2 minutes.  The flame will flair up at first, then recede.  After two minutes, blow out the flame.  Place the grill over the now-hot burner.  Your lampe is now working taking odors out of the air and leaving it smelling like your fragrance!  To “turn it off,” remove the grill and place the small cap over the wick.   Please do not leave a burning Lampe Berger unattended.

You can burn your lampe all the time or just for a little while to clean your air.  Just be sure to let the wick saturate if it dries out.  A dry wick won’t light.

You can mix fragrances (stay with Lampe Berger fragrances to ensure no damage to the wick).  Or you can change fragrances.  Simply pour the fragrance back into the bottle (let the wick cool before you remove it!) and pour in another fragrance.  You may smell the first fragrance for a few minutes, but shortly the second will come through.

 Why not try a new fragrance to start your year right?  We love Fresh Linen for a clean scent.  It’s perfect after the holidays and comes in half liter and liter sized bottles.

Ann’s holiday Lampe Berger fragrances are so good they deserve a Thanksgiving post.  Keep your home free of unpleasant odors…Lampe Berger removes them and leaves its wonderful fragrance instead.  The nostalgic scents of a beloved holiday are a great way to enjoy it with your family.  Try Lampe Berger from Ann’s (click here for more about how it works).

And now for cranberries:

Most Americans today are familiar with cranberries served at  Thanksgiving dinner.    They’re grown in North America and Canada in bogs on evergreen shrubs related to the blueberry.  Native Americans and early English settlers used them for medicinal purposes.    Buy these at your grocery store.

Next week, when Americans stuff ourselves in the spirit of thankfulness, it’s the cranberries that we relish most (sorry for the pun) because they taste so good with a turkey sandwich the day after.  Make this at home for your TG dinner.

Houston weather is hot one day, cold the next; our homes are shut up tightly to preserve energy and warmth or cool and to keep out the humidity.  Since we city-slickers can’t throw open our windows to the freshness of unspoiled country air, burn your Lampe Berger fragrance inside and get the same effect!  Lampe Berger will keep your home smelling good, no matter what Houston weather prevails.
