    Why Did My PartyLite Catalog Show Fail?

    I love PartyLite candles and have been using them for over 6 years now. They burn so cleanly and complete (no waste). Those candles that leave all that black stuff behind always make me wonder what I am breathing. YUK :eek: just thinking about it. I agree the accessories can be pricey...

    Looking for Stoneware at a Steal? Host a $400 Show in September!

    OK, maybe I have something wrong, but according to my math the numbers are not adding up? $106.50 minus the $60 earned FREE = $46.50 then subtract the 20% hostess Discount and you get $37.20? Am I missing something?
