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.
The best way to prevent tunneling is to burn […]

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.  […]

By far the hit of the week in my office, I had a lot of IT and electrical guys coming through and they all commented on the yummy scent and asked what it was.  Nobody agreed that it smelled much like lemon meringue but it was a winner all the week long.  These tarts are […]

Oh Baby! Mrs. Meyers Baby Blossom products

Home/Office Fragrance

Now that I’ve upgraded my space at work to a private office, rather than a cube, I feel like it’s time to get a bit of scent in there.  If I worked in a heavily trafficked spot, I’d definitely forgo any potpourri,  reed diffusers or otherwise.  But since it’s only me and one other person […]
