Goose Creek Candle Review

I recently came across a new (to me) candle company that I am thrilled with!

Goose Creek Candles are simply amazing. This Cinnamon Beignet candle (see photo) is a part of the American Heritage collection which is a "multi-sided style jar with beautiful polished silver embossed lids."

The scent is simply amazing with a strong, but not overpowering cinnamon aroma. This collection also includes fragrances like: Blueberry Passion, Dark Vanilla Bean and Hazelnut Cream.

Goose Creek also has a huge selection of other delectable candles including these adorable Folk Art Jar Candles which feature the renowned folk artist David Harden. Apple Cheesecake looks amazing!

Goose Creek offers a flat $5 shipping rate. Also be sure to check out their new Valentine's Day fragrance, Twilight Forest.

You can also follow Goose Creek on Facebook right here.

It is an amazing combination of pine and spruce fragrances with a hint of spice, but what I love most about this candle is that it does not overwhelm the senses. It is soft and beautiful.

The scent evokes Christmas past, holiday department store Christmas trees and spruce wreaths. It is absolutely delightful!

Get your Sizzling Bacon Candle right off the griddle!

Love bacon? Now you can have that yummy smell 24/7 without the grease.

This Sizzling Bacon Candle from ThinkGeek (which is one of my favorite sites) can be had for $15.99.

And according to the site "These premium scented candles are long-lasting and made from actual rendered bacon fat using a top-secret process that preserves bacon's natural aromas and essential oils." WOW! That is some secret.

I seriously have to pick up one of these candles. "Woo pig sooie!!!"

PS - I love the can it comes in too!

The Dylan's Candy Bar Scented Cupcake Candle in Purple is the perfect complement to your kitchen decor. You can also get one in pink.

The scent is a very nice vanilla and it comes in a cute little cupcake box.

On a side note Dylan's Candy Bar is one of my favorite stores. YUM!

Beautiful Candles from the Coyer Candle Company

I came across a new candle company today that I am really excited to try.

The Coyer Candle Company out of Midland, Michigan has got some of the most beautiful candles I have ever seen.

The candles come in a variety of jar types and you can even get a wood wick variety.

On my list to try are Hazelnut Cappuccino, Pumpkin Pie Spice, Chocolate Covered Bacon (really? how cool) and Birthday cake.

You can order their candles online at: http://www.coyercandles.com/Online-Store-.html

Yankee Candle Cherries On Snow™ Review

Cherries on Snow from Yankee Candle is one of the new candles in their 2011 Holiday line.

If you love Cherries like me then this candle is a winner. It's not as strong as Black Cherry but still keeps the essence of the fruit. I love that it has a hint of almond in it and if you combine a Cherries on Snow tart with Almond Cookie you get a delicious mix.

I also really like the jar design on this one. Not overtly Christmas so you can keep it on the shelf for January and February.

I highly recomend Cherries on Snow for those of us who love the foody scents. Way to go Yankee!

 

Red Velvet Cupcake Candle from Target

OK, so I'm at Target yesterday walking down the main aisle by the dental hygiene products and I happen by an entire end section of new soy candles by Illume.

The Red Velvet Cupcake one peeks my interest so I take a sniff. Whoa! Red Velvet Cupcake ROCKS. It's a nice blend of Vanilla, spciy cake and a hint of something a bit like chocolate.

This candle is Made in USA and comes in 2 sized glass jars that have a retro look. My 4oz cost $5.00.

You can check them out at Target.com or in stores.

Get a White Castle Scented Candle! It smells like a burger!

Well who would have thought!

The people at White Castle have teamed up with home fragrance queen Laura Slatkin to produce a "a candle with the steam-grilled-on-a-bed-of-onions scent of America's first fast-food hamburger". Yum? I think?

I don't have one of these yet but plan on getting one.

They are not available yet but the sight says coming soon. You can order one here and net proceeds are donated to support Autism Speaks.

If anyone has one let me know what you think!

Grab A Cup Of Roasted Espresso From Swan Creek Candle Co.

You can't go wrong with a delicious cup of coffee!

This really cute cup of Roasted Espresso is acutally a candle from Swan Creek Candle Co. out of  Ohio.

I've got it sitting on my desk right now and it smells amazing. The scent is a wonderful aroma of freshly brewed Espresso that fills the room.

Swan Creek Candles are available in fine stores around the country. I picked mine up at Heinen's.

These candles are 100% American Soybean Wax and lead free.

There is also a great selection on Amazon including the Swan Creek 100% American Soybean 24 Oz. Jar Candle - Roasted Espresso. YUM!

I think that coffee is my new favorite Fall fragrance. The ironic thing is that I don't actually like drinking coffee but LOVE the smell!

Bath & Body Works S'mores Candle Good Enough To Eat

OK, maybe that's a bit of a stretch. Please don't actually eat your candles no matter how good they smell. Ending public service message. Starting review...

Let me just say that Harry Slatkin has out done himself this year with the Bath & Body Works Fall candle line.

S'mores is a truly amazing blend of marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker. How they perfected this smell is beyond me.

The funny thing is I'm probably the only former Girl Scout in America who does not actually like to eat S'mores. I like my chocolate cold and my marshmallows in the "Fluff" form. So when I saw this candle I was not immediately overwhelmed. Fast forward 2 seconds and 3 sniffs later and WOW...2 large S'mores candles were at the register and ready to come home with me. I even got the 2 for $19.99 deal on the large candles that Bath & Body Works loves to do.

So thanks Harry for turning this girl back into a scout! I still may not love the hot S'mores but I can proudly shout, "I LOVE S'MORES" in a crowd...and not be lying.
