Glade Scented Oil Candles Review & Giveaway!

CONGRATS TO CHELSEA #17!!!

Glade Scented Oil Candles Review

Glade has always been a favorite in this house. I ALWAYS have a candle lit or a air freshner pluged into my walls or on my counters. It is just a part of my home. Glade has now, scented oil candles that melt into a large pool of scented oil wax, quickly releasing fragrance into the air. At first, I did not notice the scent of the candle burning, unless I went right up to it and sniffed at it. But then, I went outside for a while with my kids (my mother-in-law was inside to keep an eye on the candle), and when I came back into the house, I smelled it, it was so nice! My whole kitchen and livingroom smelled of this scented oil candle and it was very nice. So, I guess I was just use to the smell while I was inside, it took going outside of my home and coming back in to realize, it was working and it smelled great!

The glass container, that holds the oil candle, is just beautifully decorated. I love the design! Very trendy and looks great in any home! Glade Scented Oil Candles gives any room a boost with a great scent and cute design! The candle also melts away, leaving no mess behind ready for you to add a new fragrance refill!

The only thing I dislike about this candle is that it does not last long, at all. It probably lasted about 3 hours and when I blowed it out, it was out for good. No relighting this candle! So that bummed me out. But, you can buy refills, but I would be afraid of blowing out the candle before it was done, because the candle I had was not done, but I blew it out and it would not relight for me no matter how hard I tried. The wick just broke off and it was gone :(

All in all, the Glade Scented Oil Candles is pretty and smells great, but just don’t last long.

Scentsy Giveaway!!

By ·

GIVEAWAY IS OVER! CONGRATS TO Dana, COMMENT #12!!! LAST PERSON NEVER RESPONDED, SORRY!

A Valentines Day Giveaway!

Scentsy

When I think of Valentines Day, I think of candles and warmth and candy :) I really wanted to offer my readers, YOU, a cool giveaway for candles, so I contacted Trista at Scentsy, and she agreed to a giveaway for all of you! I was very excited because I love Scentsy and all that it has to offer!

scentsy

I have experienced Scentsy before, my Mom always has them in her home when I come over, and they make her home smell so delicious! What I LOVE about Scentsy is that they are leadless, wickless, flameless, and smokeless candles! Yep, Scentsy warmers melt the wax using a 25 watt light bulb, how neat, huh?! They are great for people with children and animals because there is no flame involved, so no children or animals knocking over a burning candle! Love this idea. Not very long ago, my then 3 year old, got up on my counter and decided to have a bon fire right then and there with my bills and the candle!! I FREAKED out as any parent would do! I grabbed my son and distinguished the fire right before it got to the pile of papers on my counter top! I swore up and down that I would NEVER use another candle again, and that made me sad! I love candles, but obviously my children are more important. So, when I was introduced to Scentsy, I was/am VERY excited! Now I can have a “candle” in my home again!!!! Woot!

scentsy

Scentsy Candle bars last 60 to 80 hours and will never release the harmful chemicals found in other candles. And, when you are ready for a different scent, you just pour out the wax into the original container, wipe clean with a paper towel and you are good to go for another scent! Easy as pie, which I love!

scentsy

Circle E Candles Review

By ·

Circle E Candles

You all know that I absolutely love candles, who doesn’t like a nice smelling candle or candles burning brightly in their home? It makes me feel cozy and relaxed. I always have them burning in most every room that I know I will be in off and on throughout the day. I came across a website and company called Circle E Candles and instantly feel in love with their candles. I contacted them and they agreed to send me a candle for this review, lucky me!

Circle E Candles

I received a wonderful 28 oz. Bird of Paradise candle. It smells sooooooo good! Think strawberrys and tons of cream! Oh, it is heavenly! I have it lit in my kitchen, where I am most of the time, and I have been burning it every day since I received it a week or so ago. It burns so clean, and I love that! No more blackened ceilings for me to have to clean! I am so impressed by the scent that it gives off while burning, it is not potent, it is a soft, soothing scent, everything a candle should be, it is! I also love that is has a burn time of 150-165 hours!!

Circle E Candles

Circle E Candles are known for being the longest burning candles on the market! They also hand pour all of their candles and they take pride in what they do, it shows! They also use lead free wicks and high quality heavy glass containers. They are just wonderful!

A bit about Circle E Candles (taken off their site):

Fragrances with Wicks

Circle E Candles have a characteristically smooth, creamy texture. By hand-pouring in stages, we avoid the mottled look you see in other candles. Mottling is caused by fractures in the wax that result from air entrapped in the wax as it cools. These fractures can also limit fragrance intensity, so we incorporate a special additive to prevent mottling from occurring. We use only the finest lead-free wicks and premium wax blends for a cleaner, longer burn. Hand-poured Circle E Candles also have a higher fragrance level, giving you consistent, quality fragrance down to the very last burn.

Hand-poured Distinction

Sure, it takes more time to hand pour each candle, but the result is well worth the wait. Our special blend of soft smooth waxes ensures the fragrance level at the bottom of each Circle E Candles candle is as strong as it is the first time you light it.

Vast Variety of Scents

Each year Circle E introduces new fragrances to our already extensive selection. Like fine wine, each candle has a distinct color, bouquet and ambiance.

Beautiful Home Décor

Circle E Candles come in stylish containers made of top-quality heavy glass. Our signature line of square Jar Candles is uniquely-designed to allow the candle to rest on its lid while burning.

From signature Jar Candles and Frosted Bow Boxes to simple votives, our styles complement any décor. After they have burned down, the containers are designed to be reused as decorative spice jars, stylish canisters, jewelry boxes, or anything else you can dream up.

So as you can see these candles are made with care and only the best of ingredients. I am very impressed with them. You can check out all of their wonderful fragrances HERE!

BUY THEM!

Oh, Circle E Candles has so many different candles to choose from! You just will have to visit their website to see what I am talking about! Don’t forget to check out the specials page, to get some great discounts! And, Free shipping on orders of $100 or more.

“Thank you, Circle E Candles, for allowing me to review your wonderful smelling candle and share it with my viewers!”

Disclosure:

I was sent a candle to review and keep. These are my honest opinions about the candle that I got, and no other compensation was given to me, thanks!
