Scandle Shimmering Oil Candle {Review}

I've mentioned before how much I love candles (it’s actually sort of an obsession…shh don’t tell anyone) but have I also mentioned how much I love massages?  Though the latter seemed to happen much more frequently before I had two little ones running around I do very much enjoy a great massage.  So it’s pretty much a given that when someone decided to incorporate the two they gained a lifelong, loyal customer in me.  

I was introduced to Scandle last year and was hooked with one sniff of their Chocolate Covered Strawberries scandle.  If you are unfamiliar with Scandle then let me be the first to introduce you to this awesome company.  “The Scandle is a candle that burns at 2 degrees above body temperature to produce a soothing and healthy body oil.  The Scandle is perfect for massage, cuticle treatments for mani/pedi, or even as an everyday moisturizer.”  On top of being just plain awesome the Scandle comes in an array of yummy scents including Lavender, Sex on the Beach (doesn’t that sound inviting), Margarita, and their newest scents from their Fall collection Autumn Harvest and Pumpkin Pie Spice as well as 2 alluring scents from their holiday collection White Christmas and Holiday Spirit.   
 
I was sent the Holiday Spirit Shimmering Body Candle for my review.  One of the most important things about a candle (at least for me) is that it smells amazing and this scandle delivered…in a big way.  The Holiday Spirit candle smells just like Christmas so each time I burn the candle makes the holidays seem that much closer.  Let’s not forget about the massage aspect of the candle, believe me when I tell you that nothing is better than getting a massage with the Scandle; between the amazing aroma and the warm shimmering oil there’s nothing you won’t like about Scandle candles! 

Of course the Scandle Shimmering Body Candle has other great benefits as well:
*  Gives skin a natural shimmer
*  Masks wrinkles and skin imperfections by deflecting light
*  Provides hydration to the skin
*  Adds aroma and ambiance to any setting

Scandle candles make an excellent holiday gift for that special someone on your list and the travel tins make perfect stocking stuffers!

Macy’s IMPULSE 2010 Fall Styles {Review + $50 GC Giveaway}

You may remember my post several months back about Macy’s IMPULSE spring styles, well make room in your closets ladies because Macy’s IMPULSE fall styles are here!  I am a huge fan of Macy’s no matter what my budget, I can always find a ton of affordable, cutting edge styles just perfect for my wardrobe.
Here’s a little more about Macy’s IMPULSE Fall styles:

Searching for the hottest styles for Fall?  Look no further than the Macy’s IMPULSE department. Each season, IMPULSE does the legwork for you by publishing its highly anticipated HOT LIST. Essentially a cheat sheet of the season’s must-have looks, it features many of today’s top labels, including 7 For All Mankind, Miss Me, Sugar Lips and more.

The focus this season: eye-catching details. Think Shimmery Dresses and Embellished Tees. Also girly (but slightly less glitzy) Lace Details and Draped Camis that add a hint of attitude to your everyday outfit. To nail both trends, try wearing a lace-trimmed cardigan over a flowy, floral camisole.

Even when it comes to basics, it’s the little things that count. Update your go-to pieces with a pair of the latest super Slim Jeans. Pair them with an Oversized Knit Hoodie for a laid-back yet sophisticated look.

There are so many pieces from the fall collection that I adore I don’t even know where to start, hmm let’s see…this blouse—I will own that…gorgeous!



And this bootie…is to die!  I have been all about boots for a while now, but it is definitely the time for a cute, fun, and fashionable boot!



And being the causal kinda girl that I am I couldn’t forget about a great pair of jeans!  Or maybe this killer hoodie…so many choices…so little time!




And the looks mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg…the IMPULSE department at Macy’s has What’s Hot for fall 2010 so make sure you check it out!  And while you’re there pick up a few Macy’s gift cards…they make great holiday gifts for everyone on your list!
