There's something about Summer which just makes me want to burn citrus scents all season. Is smelling Lemon Citrus as refreshing as drinking a tall glass of lemonade? Perhaps psychologically. At least for me. So whenever that mercury starts to rise, I abandon all the sweet and flowery scents and devote my fragrance selection exclusively to citrus. At the moment, I am enjoying a blend of Pink Grapefruit, Lemon Citrus and Fruit Slices. Now since, Beanpod doesn't manufacture Pink Grapefruit in soy beads, you can do one of two things: Either start with a Pink Grapefruit jar candle and "Season" it with a blend of Lemon Citrus and Fruit Slices soy beads - OR - burn one jar candle of each scent in the same space. Either way you will get all three scents mingling together creating a blissfully fresh citrus blend. Enjoy!

Beanpod Soy Candle Recipe of the Day: Mid-Summer's Night
I don't know about the rest of you folks, but it is SWELTERING here in the East. Temps have been between 88 and 100 degrees with high humidity for well over a week now. So what is a person to do? You might not think that this kind of weather lends itself to burning candles - and you'd be right - but what I've noticed in my un-air conditioned arrangement, with all this humidity, our house gets very stuffy and stagnant smelling, especially after being closed up for the day to keep the heat out. Electric bead melters to the rescue!
Electric melters have gained popularity lately for those who don't want to worry about open flames. They're great for people with pets, or young children, or college students whose dorms don't allow flames. "Plug In" melters, which fit directly into an outlet are very much the rage nowadays, too. Bottom line: electric melters are not difficult to find, but can be just the thing to fragrance your house without adding even half a degree of heat on a hot day! 
So what's my recommendation for a nice scent for a stuffy house? Stick with citrus! Blend equal parts Raspberry Lemonade, Lime Citrus, and Fruit Slices soy beads and click that electric melter on. Then draw those blinds, turn on a fan and grab a chilled glass of white wine sangria! Ooh la la!
And don't worry... January will be here before we know it!
