Tart of the day: Yankee Candle Brazilian Passion Fruit

This little gem has been the hit of the week at my office.  It’s got a positively refreshing, juicy scent.  It’s hard for anyone to dislike!  The wax is INTENSELY colored, which means it would be a BAD scene if it were to tip over and spill on a porous surface.  But barring that, it’s […]

Tutorial: How to salvage a tunneled candle

I’m sure you’ve had a candle “tunnel”, or not burn the wax all the way out to the edge, leaving a ring of wax as the flame works its way down through the candle. This mostly happens with container candles in apothecary jars or hurricane-type packaging.

Crazy Candle! Snapple Illuminations

I’ve heard rumors that there are Snapple Luminations Candles at Dollar Tree stores.  I found some on eB@y…and now I totally want one.  It’s kind of crazy, because the top part lifts off and is some sort of air freshener of its own.  for $1….if you can find one, let me know how it is.  […]
