1. Camouflage your flaws.
We all know candlelight makes us look better, though it won't transform us into Cindy Crawford (unfortunately). It can, however,
turn a less-than-perfect house into one that seems cozy and glam. If the party is last-minute, or if the maid has the day
off, or if frankly, you just have better things to do than clean, just dim the lights and rely on candlepower to make everything
glow. When guests arrive, hand them a glass of champagne or a cocktail and lead them into a living room flickering with votives,
tapers, and pillars. They'll be so enchanted that they won't notice the bookshelf you forgot to dust. But of course, leave
the scented candles out of the dining room. The aromatic combination of salmon and patchouli? Not so appetizing.
