    You Can Get Diptyque Candles for $11 Each at Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale

    Gigantic beauty sales can be overwhelming, I get it. That’s why I’m here to tell you about the one absolute, best, can’t-miss deal from Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale: $11 Diptyque candles. Considering a single Diptyque candle will cost you $36, that’s a steal.
    The bargain comes in the form of a set of five travel-sized priced at $55. It’s a $75 value and includes all of Diptyque’s greatest hits, so you can try them all and then decide which bigger candle(s) you’ll want to expand your home fragrance library.

    Set of 5 Travel Size Limited Edition Scented Candles
    DIPTYQUE
    $55.00

    These are the five scents:
    Baies (Berries): A fruity scent made up of blackcurrant leaves and a bouquet of roses. It’s so popular it often sells out on Diptyque’s site.
    Feu de Bois (Wood Fire): A cozy, homey smell that evokes a crackling fire
    Figuier (Fig Tree): A warm, fresh aroma made up of fig leaves, bark, and milky sap
    Mimosa: A dreamy wanderlust-inducing floral that smells like the French Riviera, lined with mimosa flowers
    Roses: A classic, timeless scent that is even better than an actual of bouquet of roses because it’ll last you longer.
    Doesn’t that all sound delightful? The possibilities are endless with this set: Put one in every single room. Light one when you stream a virtual yoga class and mindfully place it far away from your mat. Gift a couple of the candles to some friends—although, since this is such a rare deal we won’t blame you if you hoard them all to yourself.
    In case you haven’t already set multiple reminders in your phone for when Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale begins, the sale opens to all Nordstrom cardholders on August 13 and the public on August 19.

    See How an Expert Crafter Organizes All of Her Art Supplies

    Making a mess is part of the crafting process. But once the glue, glitter, and paint transforms into a beautiful end product, it’s best to make your creative space as neat and tidy as possible. That way, you have a blank slate for your next craft project.
    In the video above, watch an expert crafter turn her cluttered crafting corner into a more efficient work space. Good Housekeeping’s Senior Video Producer Tessa Donolli describes herself as “a big maker of things,” which means she has supplies specific to painting, embroidery, drawing, and just about anything else.
    To make her space more efficient and visually appealing, Tessa started by tackling one trouble area at a time and finding the best organization method for each. For example, she hung acrylic paints on a wire rack with color-coded clothespins. She painted each clothespin with the corresponding acrylic paint color to help her quickly eye the perfect shade.

    15 Ways to Organize Your Craft Room

    She followed similar organization methods for her other supplies: Everything was categorized by color and labeled accordingly. Aside from her most-used acrylic paints, she stored everything else in clear bins — some with pre-made dividers, others with DIY dividers made out of leftover cardboard — which lets her see exactly what she has at all times.
    Her biggest takeaway: No matter how much space you have, your craft area should inspire you to tackle your next project. Crafters like Tessa rely on color-coded bins and pretty labels. Others may want to take a more laid-back approach by tucking everything away in drawers and out-of-sight bins.
