Our Favorite Fall Candles

Between high school football games, bonfires, the fair, and pumpkin patches, we are certainly busy this time of year.     Have you noticed that there are either "Pumpkin People" or "Apple People"?

It was hard for me to choose a candle to feature on our first blog post-- we have so many great ones! So I decided to choose one that would be useful around the home for more than just smelling good.   The Smoke and Odor Eliminator Candle can be used for the obvious purpose-- smoke odor elimination-- but it also works GREAT at eliminating pet odors, trash odors, or that funky smell in your teenager's bedroom. It leaves the air with a wonderful scent that is similar to the of Juicy Fruit gum. Many of our customers have told...
