Votivo has a beautiful Jasmine candle that I burn in my bedroom. Fabulous!

yankee candle all the way baby, they are worth the money~ when i burn just one it fills my whole home w/ fragrance~ my fav is "witch's brew" which is patchouli based, but they have tons of wonderful fragrances~ i also burn meadow mist & lilac at the same time it smells just like backyard ~

I have some soy beads you melt like the tarts Yankee has. They're orange vanilla scented and that scent is to die for. The soy beads burn clean so no bad air.

David you may want to try tarts in warmers. They last longer & the scent is stronger, IMO.

Actually, Derek just ordered some partylite candles. Funny you mentioned that! Thank you for the advice as well.

THIs is true. I love homemade candles. There is a lady who sells them in my neighborhood. I allways buy from her, and they are great. I also like carolina candles, cause they do that really cool drippy thing.

That candle always reminds me of an Orange Julius drink!!
I personally like a more floral scent, but that is a great candle and it's one of Trapps best sellers.

I just spent another $50 on L'Occitane's sale. 6 more candles and some free samples of lotions and eye creams and stuff I've wanted to try are on the way with 'em!
