The rains aren’t that great a time for everyone. While long walks in the rain, and road trips with friends are great, rushing to office in the pouring rain, mold in the house, and uninvited buzzing visitors sure do put a damper on things. And if you have “sweet” blood (like some of us), the vampires come out in droves to bleed you dry!

Step 1
Slice one lemon and one lime. If they are large ones, you should be able to use them for two candles, if they are small ones, one each can be used for each candle.
