Diamond Candles {Review and Giveaway}

There’s nothing that makes me happier than when my house is clean and smelling fabulous and my favorite way to make my house smell amazing is by burning candles.  Back in the day I was the candle queen, I had several candles for every single room of the house and they were constantly burning, but when I started having babies I opted for other methods of freshen my home and most failed miserably.  Now that my kids are getting older I can finally enjoy candles the way I used to and I couldn’t be happier.

One of my favorite brands of candles—Diamond Candles—recently approached me to do a review and I just couldn’t say no, I mean, you just don’t say no to your favorite brands…right?  If you’re not familiar with Diamond Candles (and I can’t imagine that being the case since they are the bomb.com) let me introduce you.

The combination of highly fragrant premium quality soy candles, an exciting and fun 'ring reveal' experience (what ring will you find?), and a ring to wear for months and years to come means making something as boring as burning candles in your home something to look forward to.

100% soy candles; eco-friendly and natural. We don't want to be just another candle company using poor quality wax - we want to bring you premium 100% soy candles that truly display beauty and environmentally friendly materials. We want to provide you with a stellar product that promotes continued sustainability through the use of soy beans straight from mother earth.

So off I went to the Diamond Candle website to choose a candle to review and when I say that choosing just one candle was hard, I mean it was nearly impossible, but in honor of summer (or what’s left of it) I chose the Island Getaway candle as it’s one of my favorites and I kind of like that it will remind me of summer even after summer is long gone.  Diamond Candles has so many different scents to choose from including Floral scents, Fruity scents, Food scents, Fresh scents, Tropical Scents and scents that remind us of those most important Life Moments.  My favorite candles tend to be those that bring to mind far away tropical locations so it wasn’t really a stretch for me to choose the Island Getaway candle, but I’ve smelled the Cinnamon Roll candle as well and it is one of my absolute favorite scents—and I think it’s perfect for fall.  The Island Getaway candle is a  blend of crisp green kiwi, crushed pineapple, and juicy peach blended with sweet grapefruit and coconut cream and it smells exactly like paradise should.

I’m not sure if it’s just me, but in my experience Diamond Candles seem to burn longer and smell better longer than other brands of candles, one of my biggest gripes when it comes to candles is that they don’t seem to hold their scent very well, but I’ve never really noticed that happening with Diamond Candles—just another of the many reasons why I love them so much.  Of course, there’s another reason that Diamond Candles are so very cool, inside each and every candle there’s a ring—yes, you heard me right—a ring…who doesn’t love an excuse for a new ring?!?  So why rings?

By adding a woman's best friend to candles they become great gifts, as even after the candle burns out the dazzling ring inside will last. The anticipation of each candle also makes every Diamond Candle fun as you eagerly wait to find out what ring you receive in each product.

And there you have it—I don’t know about y’all, but I can’t think of another candle brand that goes above and beyond simply to make their customers experiences so special.  Since ring reveals seem to be all the rage with Diamond Candles, I thought I’d share mine with all of you, the video isn’t the greatest as I was trying to film by myself and find a great way to do it (it turns out that a great way didn’t seem to exist that night) but I wanted y’all to see what all the fuss was about.

How fun is that?  If you’re looking for great smelling candles, at great prices (Diamond Candles are just $24.95 and worth every penny) then you should definitely check out Diamond Candles!  Make sure you Like Diamond Candles on Facebook and Follow @diamondcandles on Twitter for the latest news and products!

Tickle Her Pink Day 4…Scandle (Review and Giveaway)

It’s Day 4 of MIBR Tickle Her Pink Valentine’s Day Gift Guide, I hope you’ve been able to find some great gift ideas so far! I am super excited about this review and giveaway because the product is just so unique and so much fun!

One thing I cannot get enough of is massages—I love to give them and I love to get them even more. When my fiancé and I have some time to ourselves the one thing I can always count on is a good massage…and I’m sure he has no idea how much I appreciate that after a long day of chasing kids and cleaning the house. When I started looking for companies to feature in my Tickle Her Pink Valentine’s Gift Guide I knew I wanted to showcase companies that were new to me (with an old favorite) and one of the first companies I found was Scandle. If you’re thinking, “What the heck is Scandle” I’m more than happy to tell you all about them! Scandle is a unique, amazing body massage candle that will heighten your senses and provide you with the most amazing massage oil you’ve ever used.

Scandle LLC started operations in 2005 and has since been accepted into the skin-care industry as, "The first and only candle that is truely(sic) healthy for your skin & the environment." Scandle is committed to offering its customers spa quality skin-care products that are made with the highest quality natural ingredients and contain no petroleum's or mineral oils, and are 100% Vegan and cruelty and drug free!

I received the Scandle Essentials Travel Tin in Chocolate Dipped Strawberries to review. And YES it smells like absolute heaven (I know you were all wondering). The thing that I noticed right away was how amazing the fragrance was, it truly did smell like chocolate dipped strawberries; and let’s be honest nothing says sexy like strawberries dipped in yummy chocolate! I was worried before I did my review of the product that the burning candle would cause the message oil to be too hot, but it was the perfect temperature every time I tried it, I did a video demonstration (don’t get too excited I did it on my arm lol) so you can see how easy this body massage candle works!

If you’re looking for something that will get the man (or woman) in your life in the mood for a message the Scandle Body Massage Candle is it!
