Scented Product Reviews

We have two dogs and two boys, so needless to say our “cozy” little house can be stinky! I'm always on the search for the best candles, oils or fabric fresheners.

I've found that the very BEST candles are Gold Canyon, most of their candles have double wicks which makes the candle burn ALL of the wax, you get no wax left on the sides of the jars. They are a bit pricing, but if you can afford them they are worth the money. The scents are sensational! ★★★★★

Recommended Scents….  Candle for Kids Powered Scent, Lilac Heritage Scented Candle, Pomegranate Heritage Scented Candle

The second best candle is Celebrating Homes, they are more budget friendly, however they don't have a double wick, so I'd stick with the small petite jars and be sure to burn for an hour or two to avoid the wax on the side of the jar. They are a little less fragrant then the Gold Canyon candles but are still very nice candles. ★★★★

Recommended Scents….   Baked Apple Pie, Warm Cinnamon Pumpkin, Rose

Other candles are Yankee, which I find are pricey, overly scented and never burn even. I’d also like to mention that if you love candle accessories, like I do, then Yankee candle is the place to shop! They have a great selection of tart warmers, candle shades, holders and so much more to decorate your candles! However, if you must shop Yankee candles, stick to the tarts and votives.★★★

Recommended Scents…. Blueberry scone tart, Cherry Lemonade Tart, Lilac Tart, Christmas cookie

 

Glade's candles are cheap and burn really fast but they have a great fragrance release. ★★
Recommended Scents…. any seasonal scent

 

Sprays & Fabric Fresheners…..

 

I stick with regular old Lysol in a can, for the bathrooms, it kills most gross bacteria that can be found in bathrooms and we always have candles in them for the smells, so Lysol disinfectant spray is my solid choice for bathrooms! For the living spaces, we used to use Febreze , but Lysol has a fantastic new product!!!

LYSOL® NEUTRA AIR® Fabric Mist

It claims to…

Eliminates bacterial odors at the source

Proven to eliminate tough odors including:

• Pet odors
• Smoke odors
• Body odors

Kills 99.9% of bacteria on soft surfaces*

It smells great and I give this product ★★★★★

Fall asleep

Once the warm weather is gone and the crisp cool air comes in, I get sad and always wonder why I  love fall. As I  look over pictures from the summer and miss the hot sun kissed days, I get even more sad.  But as fall get into full gear I remember… The early darkness equals early bedtime for the kids!!! YAHOOO!!! Ohh how I miss 8:00 bedtime!!! Nighty!  Nighty! Sleep tight Mommy’s having a glass of wine!!!

7 years ago…

I married my best friend and knight and shining armor.

May we continue to be friends, lovers and protectors of each other! Here’s to many more happy days together!

A wedding….

I saw the most beautiful bride and groom,  we were  so happy to be a part of the wedding celebration and I was honored to make the cake.

The cake had 300 hand made and dipped truffles, and was  chocolate cake, chocolate raspberry mouse filling chocolate butter cream icing and was delicious!

Congrats Dominic and Luciana, I love you both and wish you nothing but happiness! xoxo

Happy 5th Birthday!

Our 1st born baby boy is 5! Oh my where has the time gone?

We had a mini party before the real party which is in a few weeks. We had our favorite neighbors over for pizza and cake.

Once we have the “real” party I’ll update with pictures!
