On Trend: Moroccan-Inspired Decor



A top home décor trend for 2012 is global aesthetic. Eclectic, comfortable environments created to reflect the carefree spirit of a traveler’s lifestyle. Moroccan-inspired décor takes the spotlight in this global eclectic trend. Featuring vivid colors and bold geometric patterns, Moroccan décor is a fun way to add a well-traveled, sophisticated flair to your home. Here’s how you can incorporate the look in a few simple steps. 

Kasbah Scent Pod® Warmers – Moroccan flair is all about accessorizing. The Gray Kasbah and Burnt Orange Kasbah Pod Warmers flaunt the bold Moroccan tile pattern with class. Plus, their unique artisan appeal makes them the perfect décor accessory. With a Scent Pod® tucked snugly inside, you can also add a touch of your favorite fragrance (whose up for a little Moroccan Amber Vanilla?) to instantly transport your space into an exotic destination.
Throw Pillows – Quickly transform your space into a Moroccan "zen-vironment" by swapping out your throw pillows. Find throw pillows that showcase bold geometric patterns or vibrant jeweled tones, such as saturated oranges or shimmery teals.
Finally, no Moroccan-inspired home decor is complete without low comfortable seating. Add a splash of color with a vibrant pouf. Shimmering gold and silver poufs create a Sahara sands atmosphere while rich red and orange poufs conjure images of African sunsets. If you’re looking to add sophisticated style to your space, try adding brilliantly colored poufs.

The PERFECT Job


If you would have asked me six months ago what I would be doing today, I would have said I would be working towards my teaching credentials. School, school, school. That’s all I thought I would ever be doing.  When I decided teaching was not what I wanted to do, at least not right now, I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. All I have ever focused on was teaching, since I was fifteen years old.  

After hearing about Gold Canyon and how amazing the candles and products are I had to look into it.  Sure enough, the products are AMAZING! I signed up right away and never thought I would have a job that pays me 25% commission on everything that I sell.  My first 90 days I received a cash and product bonus for meeting my goals and I earned my sales kit for FREE! Not only that, but I also earn override commission every month based on my sales.  I am provided with an awesome website and free online training and the chance for leadership training on a Cruise!  When I bring in new sales people, I get a percentage of their sales and get bonuses if they do well when they start.  The company provides so much opportunity for growth and it is all up to me on how far I go.   I love that when I do well I receive so much praise and recognition for my efforts as well as free products and trips. How many people get that at their job? I set my own schedule and I can work with friends and family. 

Who would have thought that this job existed. IT DOES! I have found my dream job! And it can be yours too! What are you waiting for? Call me today and we can talk to see if it is the perfect job for you!!

Consultants Needed!!

What is Gold Canyon?


Mission / History
Our Story
Achieving a dream takes courage, humility and passion, which are considered to be the true original ingredients behind Curt and Karen Waisath's dream in launching Gold Canyon®. It began in the Waisaths' kitchen, where Karen began developing a candle that would permeate her home with a rich fragrance and ambience.

Late in 1997, they developed the perfect candle creation that quickly found a loyal and passionate following. Karen not only created the candle she was seeking through her passionate intuition and innovation, she also found a way to have a career that would allow her to be at home with her children. Soon they discovered people not only loved their richly fragrant candle, but also the opportunity that came with it—the flexibility of a home-based business selling a quality product they could believe in. One year later, Gold Canyon grew from one candle to over 26 fragrances in four different sizes.

Today, thousands have fulfilled their own dreams thanks to the opportunity founded by Curt and Karen. The formula for success is the same as it was in the beginning. A formula that includes the dynamic and passionate community of Consultants, the expert Coworkers that have become masters of their craft and the hundreds of distinct fragrances and products that remain the soul and spirit of Gold Canyon. Each fragrance is still carefully approved by Karen today to ensure Gold Canyon delivers on its brand promise as "The World's Finest"®. The mission of Gold Canyon continues to move forward and will always remain focused on family, charity, community and friendship.

Great products ... great opportunities ... all realized through the courage, humility and passion of a dream—truly the essence of living well™.

Prayer Child Foundation
Our Commitment

We commit to the principle of "giving something back"...the notion that a truly responsible company should share its success with those less fortunate. That is why Candles for Kids is so important to us. We are committed to giving back to communities all over the world with a specific focus on children in need.

The Prayer Child Foundation's History and Mission

Because we are committed to giving back, our charity of choice is the Prayer Child Foundation. With the assistance of our Consultants and customers just like you, the Prayer Child Foundation has grown to a sizable organization with the power to enhance children's lives every day. The foundation provides financial support to many national children's charities, individuals and organizations within local communities like yours.

Hundreds of thousands of children and their parents pray for help every day. The mission of the Prayer Child Foundation is to assist in answering their prayers by helping these children experience the joys of childhood. We carry forward our mission with the desire to provide hope and a positive future for children in need.

Bringing Hope, One Candle at a Time 

The Candles for Kids candles have been carefully designed using soft white wax poured into a beautiful glass, which represents the innocence and purity of the precious, deserving children for which the Prayer Child Foundation was built.

The Prayer Child Foundation's mission to help children in need is near and dear to the heart of our company. Because of this, the Candles for Kids label features a heart surrounded by dainty flourishes, adorable polka dots and childlike lettering. The sweet label design is intended to capture the fun-loving spirit of children and the hope the Prayer Child Foundation brings by making a difference for those who truly need it most!

Candles for Kids 

With the purchase of each Candles for Kids candle, 100% of the profits go to the Prayer Child Foundation.

In addition to proceeds from the Candles for Kids candles, a portion of all Gold Canyon's annual sales go to various children's charities. Every hand painted candle label features a hidden child kneeling in prayer, which represents our commitment to helping children. Each of your candle purchases has a hand in answering prayers from around the world.

The Prayer Child Foundation's core purpose is "to make a difference in the lives of children with physical and emotional challenges by providing financial support, opportunity for involvement to help others and a hope for a positive future." Each Candles for Kids purchase enables us to take another step toward achieving this core purpose. Together, we are making a difference!

Prayer Child Foundation Story

Helping Sage 
A Prayer Child Foundation Story 


Sage McGrady - 2 Years Old
Two year old Sage McGrady was diagnosed with Neutropenea and multiple Immunodeficienies at birth. This is typically a disease seen in Leukemia patients. Her bone marrow makes white blood cells, but her body sees them as infections and kills them. This can make even the smallest infections fatal because her little body is unable to fight them off. She receives treatments at a children’s hospital every other week. This requires her family to travel and stay over an hour away from home. In between her trips to the hospital, she receives up to three injections and multiple blood draws per week to help keep her white blood cells elevated. It is so rare for a child to have this that her oncologist is concerned it is masking a cancer formation. Therefore, little Sage is being treated as a cancer patient as well.   

Sage’s mom has been a nurse for the last 14 years. She was unable to continue working because of the risk of bringing home infections that would be fatal to her daughter. Sage's mother says, “It is very hard, even as a nurse, to sit by and watch your child having to go through the painful procedures and treatments just to remain alive.”

With Mom not able to work, this family has been placed in a hard financial position. Dad is doing his best to work as much as possible just to keep them afloat. Recently, they incurred some unexpected additional expenses when Sage became extremely ill and needed to be admitted to the hospital.

Sage’s dad is a K-9 officer and volunteer firefighter. Their family has always helped people in need and unfortunately are now in need themselves. A $600 gift was given to Sage’s family on behalf of the Prayer Child Foundation. With this money, their family was able to help cover the expenses associated with Sage’s recent hospital visit.  

You can help children like Sage by sharing the hope the Prayer Child Foundation can bring. We invite you to visit www.prayerchild.org to learn how you can donate or get involved. Together, we are making a difference!

Dear Maven...


Put those product questions to bed! Do you have a product question you've been dying to ask? Well look no further for the answer! Maven is your all-knowing Gold Canyon product go-to girl.

Dear Maven,
 
I was excited to see that Eucalyptus Menthol is in the new Infusion Aromatherapy line, but I really wish that the fragrance was also available in Scent Pods® and Home Fragrance Oil. What gives?
 
Sincerely,  
 
Eucalyptus Menthol for All
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 
 
Dear Eucalyptus Menthol for All,
 
I agree—I’m in love with the new Infusion Aromatherapy Eucalyptus Menthol. It reminds me of the feeling I get after a day at the spa with Fabio, my favorite masseuse. Mmm, Fabio … I digress, back to your question. It may be hard to believe, but there is a good reason that Eucalyptus Menthol is only available as a candle. After extensive testing, our fragrance experts found that the higher temperatures used in Scent Pod Warmers and Oil Warmers burn off the Eucalyptus Menthol essential oils more quickly than our candles do. This results in a loss of fragrance character. In other words, it just doesn’t measure up to “The World’s Finest”®. The fragrance experts over here are more particular about providing quality fragrance than I am about my stilettos! Trust me—until I met these people, I never thought one could be more particular than I am with my shoes.
 
Anyway, Eucalyptus Menthol is one of my favorite fragrances, so I pulled some strings to get the team researching day and night to find a solution to this essential oil dilemma. Keep your fingers crossed that they find it!
 
Sincerely,
Your Eucalyptus Menthol Know-it-all

Dear Maven,
 
What is going on? I ordered the new Intrigue candles and the wicks are itty bitty and the wax hangs up on the walls when I first start to burn them. I don’t want to sell these if the experience is going to be like this. Please help!
 
Sincerely,
Intriguingly Confused

Dear Intriguingly Confused,
 
Hello Darling! Where have you been the last month? Did you not know that there is an Inside Scoop Video that addresses everything you just asked me? In case you aren’t aware, missing an Inside Scoop is like missing the season finale of The Bachelor. There is simply no excuse for acting so irresponsibly!
 
Lucky for you, this and every Inside Scoop is up on YouTube. Scanning the QR code on page. 13 of the Spring 2012 Catalog will take you right to it. If you don’t have a smart phone, click below to watch the video.
 
Sincerely, 
Your Inside Scoop Prima Madonna
