Woo-hoo!! Spring Is Here!

Now that warm weather is finally here, I've selected three delightful scents to welcome the season.

Yankee Candle's Tropical Fruit
Tropical Fruit is a new scent from Yankee and it's fantastic. It's fresh and juicy and the mango fragrance is super strong. I imagine it smells exactly like Carmen Miranda's famous head-dress.

Colonial Candle's Lime Grove
Lime Grove is more Mai Tai or Margarita than say Mike & Ike's candy, but its scent is intoxicating, soothing, and delicious. Makes one long for a cozy spot on a beach in the tropics...

Illume's Pink Grapefruit
Pink Grapefruit leans more to the sweet side than being overly citrus, which I actually enjoy. Because of its clean aroma, I placed my candle in the powder room, but I think it would be just as lovely in a bedroom.

Well, there you have it, short and definitely sweet, these are my picks for the new season. Hope they were helpful; now go on, get out there and enjoy the Springtime!

Primal Elements Icon Candle - Star

I arrived at my parents' house today and lo and behold, Mama Rose had a little surprise for me. I pulled from the gift bag a black box with silver rhinestones in the shape of a star on it. Intrigued, I opened said box to discover a sleek black jar candle with the same silver star on it! Woo-hoo, a star for Star. I was impressed. I had seen the Primal Elements line, but only the sea shore ones. I had no clue that CandlesToMyDoor.com also sold ones in jet black with funky rock n' roll themes. The scent was spicy and calming; starting out strong, but eventually easing down to a nicer aroma that was not so ovewhelming. Definitely check out the entire line of Primal Elements because they absolutely have something for everyone.

Illume's Olive & Patchouli

Ideally crafted in olive green, Illume's Olive & Patchouli is a sensation. Patchouli is one of those scents that is immediately recognizable and Illume managed to take this classic and add the relaxing aroma of olive oil. It's heavily perfumed and leaves any room with the lingering of this incredible scent for several hours. Personally, I tested it out in votive form, but frankly I think I'm going to purchase the reed diffuser, or maybe a bright jar...
