Staycation

Mother's day gifts are hard thing for some, especially if you believe she needs to be pampered every day rather than just one. But if you are from the lot who believes she deserves so much more than a bouquet of flowers, then here is our fantastic suggestion of staycation. 

Treat your mom with a nice relaxing night away from home. It doesn't even have to be far it can be right in your own city, Starwood properties have special packages for staycation experience and our pick would be from ‘The Westin Hyderabad Mindspace’ or ‘Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel’ both away from the hustle bustle of city, well equipped with pool, café, signature restaurants and of course a luxurious spa.

DIY Teacup Candle

What you need- vintage tea cups (Mugs would make a cute candle container too!), candle wax flakes, candle wicks, wooden skewers, chopsticks, or even pencils will do, stove, saucepan, a glass container, tape, scissors

What to do- You’ll want to start off by cleaning your teacups. Just your regular dish soap is great and make sure you dry them thoroughly when you are done. You don’t want any water in your teacups when you pour in your wax. Wax and water do not mix.  Measure out the amount of candle wax flakes you’ll need. For each teacup you’ll need twice the amount of wax flakes to fill it.  Set up the candle wicks in your teacups, you’ll want them to lay flat against the bottom. Then use your chopsticks/skewers/pencils to hold them up and tape the ends of the chopsticks so they stay put. 

Fill a sauce pan half full of water. Place the measured amount of wax flakes in the glass container. Then place the glass container in the sauce pan. Turn your stove on to medium-high. As the wax melts it will turn clear. Once all your wax flakes have melted, carefully remove your glass container from the sauce pan. 

This is the time to add your coloring and scents if you have want (optional) carefully pour the wax into your teacups and fill until they are about half an inch or 1.5 cm from the top.  Let the wax cool and set for a few hours. Let them set at room temperature to prevent any cracking from cooling too quickly.  Once your candles are set, trim your wicks to about 1cm long. Light your candle and enjoy.
