Directions:

1.Make Wick - Soak a piece of heavy string or cord into wax and set to dry on a sheet of wax paper. You can also buy candle wicks instead of making them. 2.Heat Wax - Heat your container to approximately 140 degrees and place unmelted wax into it. 3.Add Citronella - As wax is melting add 1-2 drops of citronella. 4.Releaser - As wax is melting; spray your releaser into your mold. 5.Stir - Stir melting wax softly with your wooden spoon. 6.Pour - Pour wax into mold and remember not to fill it to top. Leave about one inch at top of mold. 7.Wicks - Place wicks into melting wax. Hold wick in place either using your hand or tie it to a pencil in order to ensure wick stays upright and does not fall over. 8.Set to dry.

Making citronella candles is as easy as 1-2-3! Be truly unique and buy terra-cotta pots, paint them and use them as one-of-a-kind candle holders!

Also, if Laundromat doesn’t have a vending machine for detergent, ask woman if you can borrow some of hers. Insist on paying her back by paying for her washing or dryer use. Either way, once you’ve got her talking, keep chatting about clothes as long as that stays interesting – once it starts to get lame and boring, ditch topic! Make sure and introduce yourself and get her name, then start asking her about herself. Find out where she works, what she does for fun, what movies or bands she likes, what her favorite types of food are. You can use that info as she’s packing up her clothes to leave – Say, “Thanks so much for help. I’d love to pay you back by taking you out for some Italian food (or going to hear that band you like, or see that movie you said you’d been dying to see.)”

And one last thing, be ready with an explanation of why you’re using this particular Laundromat if it’s not in your neighborhood, just in case she asks. Make sure you pick one that’s not too far from home, and just say one in your neighborhood was full and you didn’t want to wait for a machine. Now grab some change, a pile of dirty clothes, and get ready to bag that babe!
