Recession Proof your Income

Now is a great time to recession-proof your income. How you ask? Well it is simple...

Right now people are losing their jobs each day, finding it hard to make ends meet, and needing an income that isn't going to set them back thousands of dollars to do it.

Gold Canyon has a plan to help those in that situation. To be a part of Gold Canyon it does not cost thousands of dollars, in fact - it cost less than $100 to join - Right now you can join for $25 plus shipping when you have $350 in sales in your first 30 days! That's right $25 to join one of the fastest growing candle companies in the US and Canada. PLUS - You can cross sponsor - meaning if you know someone in Canada you can sponsor them on your team or if you are in Canada, you can sponsor people in the USA! It is great! So here are some pieces of information to help you out on your decision to join my awesome team of demonstrators!

Business Description: Gold Canyon was founded on the intent to create a candle that not only smelled good in the jar but also while it was burning. Gold Canyon was founded in 1997. The felxibility of a home-based business with a very high quality product is one of the many perks!

Recycling items from your Gold Canyon stash

Re-use that jar.... Don't just throw your candle jars in the trash, re-use them in creative ways.

here are a few ideas.

First - Clean your jar. If your candle has just burned it's last glimmer and is still liquid, dump it out. If the wax is solidified, warm the candle in an over of about 250 degrees and use hot pads to remove it once the wax has liquified to dump it out.

Next wipe all the excess wax that you can out with a paper towel. Then use HOMEOLOGY glass cleaner to clean the glass jar, run through the dishwasher to get any residue left behind out.

Now that the jar is clean, use it in all kinds of ways. Here are a few that I have done with both jars and pod containers:

1. fill with candy for on your desk at work

2. Fill with coffee beans and place a tealight inside (I have this on my desk as a constant reminder that I will not be teaching shcool forever, but will be working my Gold canyon business)

3. Store extra buttons - my friends antique buttons look awesome in her bella jars in her sewing room

4. nuts/bolts/screws can be stored in smaller jars, or store them in the pod warmer plastic containers that have been cleaned out as well. They stack so that they will not fall over, but will keep things organized.

5. Use your old jar as a flower vase. Decoupage the outside of the jar and put those flowers your kids bring into you in them - The kids love making them as well.

6. The baking line jars make great canisters for flour, sugar etc... They can be stored right on your counter and witha screw top lid, they keep the moisture out.

7. Polly pocket pieces... my daughters have tons of polly pieces, and they make me crazy when they are all over the floor - They store their Polly Pocket shoes in the pod warmer containers, they can see what is in them and can label the tops as well.

8. Store Paper clips, thumb tacks and other office supplies in the pod containers. You can tie a ribbon around them and hang them from your cork board at your cubicle. Very Cute!

9. Pods also make great holders for those spare buttons that you get when you buy clothing.

10. Use the new caffe velluto containers for cofee beans, biscotti, and more! They are super cute!

Look for more posts in the next few days on recycling and being more GREEN with your Gold Canyon products!
