Slatkin & Co. Candle


Okay, the Sparkling Mojito candle is delicious!
Bath & Body Works totally lucked out in its pairing with Slatkin & Co., and we all benefit with great quality candles that are easily attainable!

Sparkling Mojito is a sweet, yet very clean smell.
Sugared citrus with just the right hint of mint.

Not at all over-powering, perfect pick-me-up!

Well done.

Lindsay Phillips Liz Ballet Flats


I wore these (in bronze) and the Lindsay Phillips Switchflops pretty much the entire time I was in Mexico a year and a half ago.
Now, not only are there great new colors and styles, but there's even a fancy website where you can design your own combination!
And bags!
Have I mentioned the scarves? Oh, I have (read this).
Lindsay, I adore!

Thymes Indigenous White Persimmon Aromatic Votive


What a lovely little candle. This one is fruity smelling-lots of pear. The glass is quite pretty. Already saved the Thymes website to my favorites. Perfect gifts!

Thymes Offerring Good Luck Candle


This candle is so lux. This candle/brand puts the hundreds of lesser brands to shame. The glass is a lovely cream paper overlay with details of white bursts. It matches my living room perfectly. The scent is a spicy pepper musk and it actually releases a strong frangrance. So often candles don't actually release a scent or just barely. It'll burn 60 hours so it's worth the price tag. I'm adding the Thymes.com website to my favorite tabs for gift giving.
