Endless Repeat

I know I keep saying this (tho it's been awhile now), but I have been so freakin' exhausted from work that my candle crafting has had to take a back seat. This makes me sad!

It's starting to feel like fall here in the lovely New England area and I'm in the mood for some fall scents. I have a great Apple Jack N' Peel that puts me in a Autumn state of mind, but I believe a nice Pumpkin Pie or Spiced Cider might be even better.

Friday is payday. I'm hopeful that I can get an order in for some new scents. There's nothing better then a pleasantly scented candle burning in the house while watching leaves fall from the trees.

Smells Like Bread

After taking a vote from you, the readers, Banana Nut Bread appears to be the favorite choice for a new scent. Sugar Cookie was also a popular choice. How fabulous does your kitchen smell when you're baking banana nut bread? Mmmmm! I could go for a slice right now.

I will be ordering the Banana Nut Bread scent (probably this weekend) and possibly the Sugar Cookie as well. So, I hope to have the new scent available soon for purchase and will be sure to post once I do.

Don't forget that the contest for a free candle ends tomorrow. I will be picking a winner tomorrow afternoon/evening!! If you haven't entered yet, head on over to my main blog, rarereflection, for all the contest details and entry information.

Let's Take A Vote!

I am always looking for new scents and am curious to know what my readers/friends would enjoy. So, I thought I'd list a few of the scents I'm considering and see which one turns out to be the favorite.

Out of these scents, which one would you be most likely to buy?

Banana Nut Bread--Whiffs of warm banana nut bread fresh from the oven. A great mix of bananas, nuts, and sweet warm bread.

Birthday Cake--Bakery rich cake with sweet butter cream frosting

Cherry Lemonade Yankee type--The ultimate refresher with the cool sparkle of luscious cherries and just-squeezed lemons

Gourmet Sugar Cookie--Warm, crisp sugar cookie aroma

And yes, I realize that all of these scents are food related. Those seem to be the most popular. Plus, they are my true idea of Happy Thoughts.

Leave a comment and let me know which one would be your favorite!

Candle Making Time!

These are my 3 newest creations. The UPS man made me very happy and left my order of new scents on my backstep this afternoon. As soon as dinner was over, it was candle crafting time.

Let's start from left to right in the picture above. We have Chocolate Chip Cookie, Butt Naked and Wedding Day.

The Chocolate Chip Cookie is definitely my favorite of the three. It honestly smells like a huge plate of fresh baked cookies (without the calories). I'm so happy that I was able to find brown dye at AC Moore yesterday. This candle is a little bit of heaven in a jar. :)

The scent of Butt Naked surprised me a bit. The description given by the distributor made it sound more like a fruity scent, but it smelled a bit more floral to me. It's quite pleasant though and not one to be missed.

Lastly, the Wedding Day scent is lovely. It's a pleasant mix of floral scents and perfect for a summer day or a special occasion (like a wedding). Smelling it brought a smile to my face because I couldn't help but remember my own wedding.

I will be adding all three to my storefront shortly. Don't forget, my Candle GiveAway is still taking place over at my main blog, rarereflection.com until June 27th. Everyone still has time to enter for free by simply posting about it on your own blog and extra entries are given for each candle purchased during this time.

Eagerly Waiting

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. My new scents are due to be delivered today and I am eagerly waiting for them. I can't wait to try them out!!

The new scents are Chocolate Chip Cookie (mmmmm!), Wedding Day (a floral scent) and Butt Naked (can't explain this one). As soon as I get a test candle made for them, I'll be adding them to my storefront.

Where is the UPS man?!? I'm ready to pounce!

Show & Tell

I love when I can spend an afternoon creating candles. My kitchen smells incredible (without even burning them) and clean up is a breeze. That's one of the advantages of soy candles. Soy wax can be cleaned up easily with hot soapy water.

My favorite scent at the moment is Monkey Farts. Yeah, you read that right! :)



You didn't think it'd be pink?

I'm also loving the Lemon Drop scent. It smells exactly like the candy! I could go for a box right now.



The new scents will be arriving on Tuesday. I can't wait to smell the Chocolate Chip Cookie!

Don't forget about my Candle GiveAway! Head on over to rarereflection.com for details on how to enter. Contest ends on June 27th!!

Coming Soon - 3 New Scents!

I just placed an order to add 3 new scents to my inventory. They should arrive at the beginning of next week and I am eager to give them a try.

Coming Soon -

Butt Naked--This lively blend says fun and fruity with tops notes of cherry, strawberry, peach, fruity bubble gum spice leading to middle notes of cinnamon, jasmine, orange blossom and lily. Base notes of vanilla, cedar and musk bring all the scents together. (I think the name is cute!)

Chocolate Chip Cookies- Can you say yummy?! Warm, gooey sweetness of brown sugar, milk chocolate and sweet butter filling the house. The kids will wonder where the cookies are. Absolutely scrumptious! (Who doesn't love the smell of fresh baked cookies?)

Wedding Day, Yankee Type--This oriental floral begins with a bouquet of narcissus, Bulgarian rose, Italian jasmine & white lilies. The woody spice heart combines rich blue violets, clove & velvety soft gardenia petals. The dry is a dreamy powdery musk. (I love weddings!!)

I will be adding them to my store as soon as possible!!
