Febreze Wooden Wick Candles Review And 2 Giveaways

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Daisy #521!!

Heather H #604!!

I absolutely love candles, it is one of my weaknesses when I shop. I always come home with a scented candle! Febreze has a wonderful selection of scented candles and smell good things. I have always enjoyed Febreze products.

I was sent the all new Febreze Wooden Wick Candle in Gingersnap Vanilla, to review. I lit it on Thanksgiving and put it in the guest bathroom. My goodness it certainly made that area of my home smell fantastic! My mother-in-law and father-in-law and other guests really liked the scent. I used this purposely on Thanksgiving, just to get more people to experience it and the scent :)

The thing that is different about this candle is its wooden wick it has in it. The wooden wick brings the sound of a crackling fire, to your candle! Sounds so relaxing and nice!  This candle is made with blended soy which oils are released by the heat of the flame for an awesome scent experience.  This comforting candle burns up to 80 hours, which I thought was really neat! I love me a nice scented candle burnin’!

The soothing scent of baking gingerbread with the sweetness of vanilla is just a perfect fragrance for any home! It is not over powering, just really nice smelling and not annoyingly so.

This candle comes in several different yummy scents that include:

Green Tea Citrus

Pomegranate Mango

Cranberry Pear

Orange Honeycomb

Rosewood Plum

Willow blossom

Anjou Pear Spice

Yumberry Sangria

Gingersnap Vanilla

Lots of great scents to choose from and I can’t wait to try the others!

Buy

You can purchase these at your local grocery store or online at Amazon.com!

Two lucky people will win a Febreze 9 oz. Wooden Wick Candle in Gingersnap Vanilla!!!

Gellite Candles Review And Giveaway!

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

kathy pease #531!!

 

I love me some candles! The more the better. My home has many wonderfully scented candles in it and every day I have at least one candle burning brightly.

I received a Gellite Candle to review and am really enjoying it. I ordered the Pumpkin Spice Gel candle. It is really pretty. It has of course, the gel in it and then, at the bottom there is sand and real sea shells in it! This is PERFECT for any bathroom (or room!!!). And, to me, the gel candles burn way longer then the wax ones. I had this gel candle lit for about 3 hours and a regular wax one too, and the gel candle barely burned away, but the wax candle was burned down. So, it was nice knowing this. It really made my bathroom smells very nice too!

Since it is Halloween soon, Gellite Candles also has some really really cute Halloween gel candles to choose from! And, since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, you can help Gellite Candles strick a match at breast cancer! By purchasing a Gellite Special Flame of Hope Gel Candles, $10 will go towards breast cancer research. How great is that? And $10 per sale? Wow! Awesome!

You know what I really like about Gellite Candle, besides what I said above? I really really like that they accept Paypal. I wish more companies would. It is so much more convenient, just using Paypal and since they accept it, I can guarentee I will purchase another (or ten) gellite candles from them! I love convenience!

Buy

You can purchase the beautiful Gellite Candles, by visiting them online at http://www.gellite.com/store

One lucky person is going to win a $25 Gift Certificate to Gellite Candles!!

ScentSationals’ Wickless Wax Warmer & Scented Cubes (Review & Giveaway!)

CONTEST OVER!  CONGRATS TO

crystal l allen #1481

Who doesn’t enjoy a great candle a burnin’ away in your home? I know I love ‘em. But, sometimes burning candles can get a bit messy with all that soot, huh? My parents light so many candles that they had to PAINT their ceilings! Imagine that pain! Or, worse yet, your child could get into your candle and start a house fire!!! Scary thoughts, right?!?

I love the thought of no actual flame (though I still absolutely LOVE a burning candle despite the bad stuff..) and I love the idea of using a lightbulb to melt the awesome scented wax cubes. ScentSationals does not disappoint, especially when it comes to making your home smell soooooooooooo good! I kid you not, as soon as that wax starts melting in your warmer, you WILL smell its aroma almost immediately! No matter how big your home is, you will smell it.

I received a warmer of my choice and love love love it. It is country-ish and just fits in my home perfectly!

See, nice huh?!

 

So, I received the Country Star ScentSationals Warmer and 4 deliciously scented wickless fragrance cubes in the below scents:

Sweet Vanilla Oats (reminds me of oatmeal cookies!)

Country Cider (reminds me of a cinnamon scent)

Macintosh Apple (OMG, reminds me of FRESH apples!!)

Autumn Walk (reminds me of pine needles and something sweet,  I can’t put my finger on the scent of this one..)

And yes, I will be purchasing more scents as they have some DELICIOUS scents, omg! Now I have noticed that the cubes scent lasts about one day, two tops, in my home. After the third time, it just doesn’t smell to me, anymore. But, when they do melt the first day, they melt and smell so yummy! And, there are 6 cubes in each box! When your cube has served its purpose, I just grab some tin foil, form a little bowl and then pour the melted wax into it, wait till it hardens then throw away.

TIP: I have also pulled out some little molds and poured the wax into them, put them in the freezer and a few minutes later, I have really cute little wax molds that my kids LOVE!! Or you can use them as decorations in a pretty bowl on the counter or sprinkled around your home :)

Love two scents or three? Heck, just mix them together and serve up your own handmade aroma!!!  ScentSational Warmers use a small, candelabra-based 25 watt light bulb to generate enough heat to melt their low melting point wax fragrance cubes. You can find the bulbs at any place that carries them.

Buy

To purchase ScentSationals Wickless Wax Warmers & Scented Cubes, you can visit them online at http://scentsationals.com/

Crabtree & Evelyn Bath & Body Products Review

I remember as a child, I would visit the mall with my mom and always go into the Crabtree & Evelyn store and just browse and wish!!! All the products in there were so beautifully packaged and had such beautifully set up displays. Oh, and the scent of that store was amazing! A mixture of fruit and flowers, mmmmm…

I do love good bath products, candles, and sprays, don’t you? I mean you would have to be CRAZY not too! I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t like great smelling things, and things to indulge themselves in :) Crabtree & Evelyn lets you do that, and oh my goodness they have some great things to help you get started!

I received TWO awesome packages from Crabtree & Evelyn. I don’t think I ever requested to review them, they were just sent to me. I still don’t know where they came from, but I am assuming I should review them. Something this nice, I would feel HORRIBLE if I did not review them and share them with you all. They are just so wonderful. I can’t tell you enough how gorgeously they are package, wow! Talk about a beautiful gift that you don’t even need to cover with wrapping paper. It is already nice and ready to give, if you WANT to give it away ;)

I indulged myself (and still do because the bottles of stuff are so big!!), in a hot bath the night I received the first box of goodies. Me and my whole entire bathroom smelled sooo good. The first box was of the new Citron Body Care Line. I received the whole line, I think! I love the scent of this. Lemony and delicious smelling. I got the body scrub, lotion, shower gel, candle and more. Wow. Just Wow. The next shipment I received was in the Lily Body Care Line and some Lavender body care line mixed in too!!! This, again, came with EVERYTHING. From the body lotion, shower gel and perfume to the candle, room spray and more!!!!! Wow, again, just wow. Everything is wonderful. The Lily scent is subtle and not over powering at all. So pretty smelling. I am not one for real floraly scents, but this is surprising nice and lightly scented. Mmmmmm…. :)

So, I am very happy with my goodies, boy I really got spoiled! I am happy with them. :)

Buy It!

Baroness Monica von Neumann’s Signature Line of Scented Candles (Review/Giveaway!)

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

kittycardero #217!!

Who doesn’t just adore candles? I mean, come on… I would have to question one if they told me they did not love candles. I always have one or 12 burning in my home. Always. Do you?

I have probably had about every candle known to man burning away in my presence. But, maybe not… because I recently heard of a new candle by (it is a LONG name…), Baroness Monica von Neumann. I have never heard of this line of candles before, and was excited to review some of them.

I received four beautifully packaged candles. Goodness, the package was a bit heavy! I opened it up and each candle was in a nice box. Of course I opened up all the boxes at once and sniffed each one thoroughly. I decided that they smelled nice enough to light up! I lit one in my smelly bathroom (I think my daughter just expelled her bowels in there..) and the other one was lit up in my kitchen in my window sill. In about 15 minutes I could smell the candles doing their job. It is very fragrant. No slacking on the scent part! They are in a beautiful frosted glass container and they are heavy! Did I already mention this??? They burn forever too.

The scents are not my favorite scents, but my Mother-In-Law LOVED the scents. She ended up stealing the other two from me and immediately lit them up in her room so I could not take them back, sneaky sneaky!!

Some Features of these candles:

*A 70+ hour burning time–longer than most of comparable size.

*An all-natural soy-based wax and cotton wick that burns cleanly without the creation of soot that can cause discoloration on walls and ceilings.

*Beautifully elegant packaging featuring the von Neumann family crest, a centuries-old symbol of luxury and refinement.

*The candles are available to ship nationwide from von Neumann’s website (www.baronessmonicavonneumann.com), and at Candle Delirium, the online candle emporium based in West Hollywood, CA.

About Baroness Monica Von Neumann:

A devoted philanthropist, businesswoman, tastemaker and mother, Monica has accomplished more in her lifetime than most women dream of. As the wife of Baron John von Neumann, she traveled the world, vacationed with royalty, and hosted some of society’s biggest events. As a model, she sat in the ateliers Christian Dior and Yves St. Laurent in Paris, and wore their clothes down the runway. As a mother and wife, she raised a daughter, participated in philanthropic causes, and became a luxury lifestyle expert, all before experiencing the tragic loss of her beloved husband to cancer.

Von Neumann is currently known as the hostess behind some of high-society’s biggest events. Most notable is her annual Christmas Party at her Los Angeles home, complete with real snow transported from Arrowhead and live reindeer—all to benefit children’s charities. She is also an accomplished interior designer and an experienced chef. Having already been published as a lifestyle and etiquette expert in magazines such as Genlux and Essence and featured in a reality web series on EXTRA TV called “The Baroness of Bel Air,” this year, von Neumann’s line of clean-burning, organic candles are the first of many products to come under the “BvN” name.

Buy Them!

Theses luxurious candles retail for $38.50 EACH. Expensive for me, but for some it may be a very good price! Buy them online at www.baronessmonicavonneumann.com

Win One!

One lucky person will win one beautiful candle, scent of their choice!! Retails for $38.50!!

Scentsy Review and Giveaway!!

CONTEST IS OVER! CONGRATS TO

Amber #74

Who doesn’t love candles and nice smelling things? If you say, you don’t, you are lying!! Everyone I have ever known loves this kind of stuff, even the guys! Scentsy has always been in the back of my mind to try. I always hear about how great it is, heck, my mom has TONS of Scentsy products. So, when I had the opportunity to give Scentsy a try, I was really excited!

I was sent a warmer and some bars to try out. Oh, the wonderful scents I was sent! YUM! I love the baking scents and citrusy scents. When I got the warmer, I put the little light bulb in (Scentsy’s bars melt with the light bulb, not with fire!!), and turned on the little switch on the cord. Then I broke a tiny piece off of the bar, and put it into the Scentsy warmer. After about 5 minutes it was already starting to melt. After about 20 minutes, my kitchen smelled heavenly!! Like I had been busily baking in it, but I wasn’t :) My husband woke up and said “mmm.. what are you baking?” He was sad to hear it was just my new Scentsy warmer, LOL! Poor guy…

About Scentsy (taken from their site):

The unique Scentsy warmers use a low-watt bulb to melt the specially formulated wax slowly, maximizing the fragrance time of the Scentsy Bar or Scentsy Brick. With no flame, soot or wick, the Scentsy system is a safe way to enjoy more than 80 Scentsy fragrances.

How to use a Scentsy warmer
  1. Plug it in. Turn it on.
  2. Place one or more sections of your Scentsy Bar into the dish.
  3. Enjoy the Scentsy feeling!
How to change a Scentsy fragrance
  1. Completely melt the wax in the dish.
  2. Pour the melted wax into its original packaging to reform the wax.
  3. Clean dish with a paper towel.
  4. Store used bar in a cool place or discard.

———————————————————————————————————————————-

I love the ADORABLE warmers that Scentsy carries! Oh. My. Goodness they are CUTE! So festive and so much fun, there is a  warmer made for every kind of person! Whether you love the full-sized, mid-sized or plug-in warmers, there is a size waiting for you on Scentsy! And oh, the wonderful scents that those bars come in… I seriously can’t make up my mind what to buy next!

I love that Scentsy even has scents for guys! Yep, check it out! Also, you don’t want to miss out on Scentsy’s Closeout pages!! There, you will find some splendid deals so you can stock up for Christmas!!! And, Scentsy even has new items now, so you have to go and check them out!
