LOL I just bought some candles SM
at the dollar store - I actually prefer them. I think because they are such cheap candles that the scent is not as strong as the nicer ones, but for me it is perfect - just enough to smell nice without being overpowering. I was just thinking I could buy 325 candles for the price of 1 of those Jo Malone candles. LOL
My son is 10 - bought him a men's 9 today (sm)
I know the feeling! His feet are bigger than mine and the same size as his dads!
I just bought a starter pack today
I'm going to give it a whirl. I figure I have about 40 pounds to lose to get back to where I was for most of the years between having my son at age 25 in 1987, and my daughter at age 38 in 2000. After gaining the pregnancy weight in 2000, I really barely lost any of it and now nearly 7 years later am about 10 pounds up from that. So, I'm going for about 40 pounds but 30 would probably make me happy. I figure since I work at home, if I end up with the "alli oops" at least I'm right by the bathroom.
Well I bought my first Christmas gift today...sm
for this year, and it was a big one. My son has been wanting a Playstation 3 since they came out, which I think was last year. They were $500 last year, and luckily he didn't push the issue cause that was out of the ballpark. Well I saved a little this year so I could buy him this gift for Christmas this year. He says that is what he wants. They are now $400 this year. I saved and saved and I had the money put back to get it. So I gave my mom the money yesterday, and when she went to Walmart this morning, she bought it. I am so relieved because this is a major portion of Christmas bought. I only have the one son. No more children. I am so glad I was able to get this for him this year and so glad I already have it bought and put away for Christmas.
Has anyone else started on their Christmas yet?
Do you burn candles or oils or use other aromatherapy while you work? Love candles &
s
What do you think of the quality of clothing today. What I looked at shopping today in nice stores
the stuff wasnt even sewn properly. Do you have to look at everything you buy or just hope it lasts a year.
candles
Can't help it but I'm an ebay freak.
This is actually a good deal on pinecone candles if you could get it. 270115615311 . 7 candles in total and these look like the ones I have. I bought several packs on sale 3 years ago in Michigan and have not seen them around here. I live in Santa Claus, we set out luminaries every year in the paper sacks on christmas eve and this past year it rained so I picked up all the candles and have been making my own. Need to by me a pinecone mold! Another idea would be to buy some wax and add oil and possibly some glitter and dip your own pine cones. I have seen these at festivals and then arrange in a basket. You can also check crateandbarrell.com they have some white ones. I have see several napkin holders made of berries and pinecones, target sells those still or you could make your own. Mine are dark brown with a gold (probaby rub-n-buff that can be bought in craft section) applied to the tips of the petals. I was in Waynesboro a couple months ago..should have picked up those cones! Gosh now I'm in the christmas spirit! 
Candles
I almost always have a Yankee candle going while I work. They have the best scents IMO hands down, and I've tried many others. So many good ones . . . if you like herbs try Lavender-Sage. It's wonderful. Mistletoe is another nice one for this time of year. I like fruity in summer and the "sugary vanilla" ones for now - buttercream, Christmas cookie, I could go on and on . . .
Candles - sm
Yankee candles are so good but I think too expensive. Does anyone have a source for another brand of a good candle, mostly votives?
Making candles
I had heard that you can save up the scrap wax from candles in glass jars, melt all of them down and put them back in the containers, adding a wick and scent such as cinnamon. So, I've been saving my containers with the bits of leftover candles. Anyone know how one goes about doing this? Is it possible to do this?
THANKS!
who's lighting the candles?
I too had a small wedding and my matron of honor's son who was 12 at the time went up and lit all of the candles.
You don't have to have them involved. You should not be guilted into creating spots. Just tell them that you wanted them to "enjoy" your day.
Yankee candles
I spent 22 bucks on an Autumn Wreath Houswarmer Yankee candle the other day...and for that price I expected knock-me-down scent for days. Well I lit it and put it in my upstairs bathroom and it spelled pretty good. Then the next day when i lit it I noticed it didn't seem quite as strong. Well today I lit it and i can barely smell it though it's been lit for hours. I have kept the lid on it when not in use. What a waste of money!
I used to buy my candles from an online candle company called Two Blue Candle Co but she went out of busiess and obviously Yankee isn't doing it for me. Anybody got any suggestions on how to get my candle "stink" fix?
yankee candles
I love my Yankee candles! I'm really shocked you don't smell yours. I buy them regularly. Do you keep your wick trimmed? Every once in a while, when the candle is hot, I may have to scrape the sides of the glass so it it all melts but I can't complain. Also, when the wick totaly burns out and there is still a bit in the bottom, I set the glass in my burner and it still smells good! Maybe you should take it back and see if they will let you exchange it???
I have many scented candles
that I got as gifts. I always say I am going to use them (my son does not believe me). I think it would be nice while taking a bath...but maybe I should do it while I am working or I will never get the chance...because I am always working! I have two Yankee candles. I am sure they would smell wonderful.
I really like Circle E candles
Cheap candles are a waste of money IMO. What's the point of buying them if you can't smell them?
Febreze candles
I bought one of the seasonal Febreze candles and was very dissapointed! THe candle smelled so good in the box. I had 2 of them lit in a 1200 sq foot home and could smell NEITHER ONE. I guess i will stick with Yankee Candles !!!
We used to use the wax milk cartons for candles sm
when I was a kid. We used to put some ice in the carton and then add the wax. It always made different looking candles. Also, if you have an old electric mixer, you can make the wax foamy while it is still liquid and look like suds or piles of snow.
No unburned candles in my home - all lit at least once

I don't burn candles from Yankee, but
I use those wax tarts in a tart warmer, and I found that the ones from Yankee smell the longest. They give off more of a smell in your house than candles do. Plus you can get an electric warmer, so you don't have to worry about the flame if you have animals or such, as I do. Works much better for me, just a suggestion.
The best candles I have EVER smelled in my life -
Come from Old Virginia Candle Company. I have bought lots of their candles over the years. However, since QVC began carrying their line their shipping practices have really gotten sloppy if you actually purchase from the company itself. I received a badly broken candle (the kind poured in glass), which took them a month to replace. I was never able to speak with an actual person at that company when they found out I was not a vendor, just a personal user of their products. Everything was done via e-mail. Their products, however, really have a nice fragrance that you CAN smell, lit or unlit. Give them a try. :-)
Yankee candles update
I was actually able to take the used candle back to the store and exchange it. I ended up getting a biscotti Wood Wick (Virginia Candle Co) candle that smells wunnnderful..i haven't lit it yet...but I did get a few of the Yankee tarts... Right now I have the fresh cut roses one melting and it smells pretty good!
Somebody also told me Circle E candles are great...anybody tried them?
Thanks for all of your suggestions 
I burn Yankee Candles
Right now I have one going in my office that is called "beach towel" and it smells like the beach on a hot summer day! (I'm in denial because I live in New England and it's cold here now!) In my living room, I am burning one called "chocolate chip cookie" and it smells like just someone is baking cookies! I love it! I go to Yankee Candle about twice a month and stock up! I just got about 5 of their new Christmas candles that I can't wait to burn.
Candles (try Sugar Shack) s/m
They're out of Edgar, NE. I fell in love with a Plumeria one when visiting a sister up there. Started ordering them, then got a tax ID #, attempted to sell them, but never made any $ on them. The votives are pretty good, but with the regular candles, they're in glass jars, which keep the fragrance really well. You may want to check out their w/s. Not sure how far you are from NE. Obviously I am, being in TX.
Added fresh chives today. to the egg today.
and a SMIDGE of soy sauce.
Yes - I've made hundreds of candles
and have used tons of scrap wax - not from glass jars but believe that could be done. My recommendation for doing this: Use double boiler - pot of water, large coffee can filled with water and your candle jar clothes-pinned to side of coffee can or other large can.... water in inner can will eventually melt jar wax and then you will need to very carefully pour jarred wax to another container. Be sure the inner coffee can filled with water has enough water in it to come up to the level of at least half of jar candle - does that make sense? Jarred candle needs to sit down inside water to melt.... You can do just the jar inside a pot of water on the stove but the inner can just gives you another layer for safety... good luck!
I use the Yankee tarts and they are much stronger than the candles.....
I felt as you did about the candles and figured what's the point? The tarts must have a higher oil content in them because it is a HUGE difference. Sometimes it is too strong, lol. I also like that you can reuse them a couple of times, I will even take the hardened wax out of the warmer and store them if I want to change the scent right away. Do try them, you will be pleased.
Oh and you have to try these two - Mandarin/Cranberry and Macintosh/Peach..unbelievablygood smelling!
Come back and let us know what you think.
You will never waste your money on Yankee candles again after trying these!
:-)
Love the Wood Wick candles...sm
sounds like a crackling fire...and they are strongly scented - excellent quality. I also like the Swan Creek Candles. They are highly scented and have some delicious scents. My favorite is Buttercream Vanilla and they have crumbs on top of the candle that melts...wondeful...
Never heard of Circle E candles but try Swan Creek if you see them!
I can't burn scented candles in my house because it will

Scented candles? Body lotion? nm

New favorite Yankee Candles scent
I ordered a box of new spring scents (tarts) and I have to say Velvet Petals is my new all time favorite, with Midnight Jasmine running a close second.
What's your favorite?
those glade candles "gladay" -- shut up!!
Do you burn candles or other scented stuff while you work?
s
grilled-----scented candles, sweet or fruity
you should have bought it together.
my husband adn i shop together at the sex shops. i would be angry too if you were trying to hide it.
What GPS was that you bought ? ...sm
I am terrible with getting around. I could get lost easily and the older I get the worse I get with not wanting to drive. I would love a GPS that has the capability of telling you exactly when to turn etc. I have no sense of direction.
Thanks
I just bought something like that, it was about , sm
$14.00. I have 2 cats and they would just play with the mouse, so I thought I'd try something to keep it away.
I just bought it the other day and so far no sight of the mouse. Hope it keeps it away.
I bought one...sm
I just bought one this weekend for my 6yo son. He LOVED it. I made the outside only rule too and so far he has obeyed. It doesn't hurt to get "hit" with one and it seriously provided hours of fun for him.
Just bought my mom...
I just bought my mom Paula Dean's set which you can purchase at Wal-Mart. It is stainless as well.
I will take more than I bought in the first place
if they don’t cough up the $700 plus Tuesday morning and according to what (if that is the way it goes) it brings in on the court house steps, then I get % and the courts take % but not as much as mine. I can hardly wait until Show-Down at the OK Corral Tuesday morning. I just get ticked off thinking about their nerve.
Our son just got married in May and I bought
Regularly $129.00 and I paid $35.00 for it, so it is not necessary to pay a lot of money, the sales are out there. The colors were blue and gray and I wore a darker pink dress (not bright) and it worked out really well. I am a larger sized woman and the dress looked very nice in my size. I wish you the very best.
Just bought a Fleetwood PUP (sm)
and you don't want to know what we paid!! But we plan to have for years - into retirement so looking at it as investment. Have been out twice so far - we have the hard-sided bathroomm - we absolutely love it. I was concered about storage inside but very spaceous. We're on west coast so no advice on camp sites. Have fun and Happy RVing!!
My daughter bought that for her son
and he LOVES it. He learned so much and had a lot of fun with it. I remember my three kids all watching that show and it brings back memories. I really helped my grandson with several things he kept "forgetting." Does anyone else like Bill Nye the Science Guy? My grandson loved that too and my grownup son is still crazy about it. I say more good shows like those! Bring them on!
I actually just bought a Rug Doctor
from their web site. It is the best thing ever! It does a great job on the carpets and furniture. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can try it in my minivan. We have owned the store brand ones like Bissel and Dirt Devel, but they just don't do nearly as good of a job as the Rug Doctor. Ours came with huge supply of different cleaning fluids too. I love the thing!
I bought a new car a week ago...
If anyone cares. A brand new Kia Spectra. I got a great deal on it. They gave me a $2000 rebate so that meant no down payment. And they took off an additional $500 for applying for it on the internet. I love the car and it gets around 35 mpg. So that is my good news!
what is something you have bought in the past you will NEVER
Mine is Little Critters Omega-3 Gummy Fish. Cute concept but the berry, lemon and strawberry flavoried gummies somehow manage to taste like fruity flavored fish ![Shocked](http://www.thedailyplate.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif") When I got them, my kids gagged with the first one and wouldn't even touch the second one for the recommended 2 a day. So guess who is choking down 2 of those suckers every day now?
We just bought a new mattress - sm
It's a Sealy. Can't recall exactly which one but lower end on the price bracket. I think it was about 1000.00 for the mattress and box springs.
We had one of those air beds for a long time and I will never ever recommend one of those.
My husband also has back problems and needed a comfy mattress so he wanted that number bed thing. It was horrible. I would wake up with lower back pain that would stick with me half the day. His pain was worse too.
Not to mention the fact that his side of the bed sprung a leak so after about the first year or so, there was no adjusting it to a comfort zone. Had to pump it all the way up and by morning, it was completely flat and he was laying in a hole inside the foam frame. It was cheaply made, uncomfortable, and a HUGE rip off.
Go for a Sealy, it's worth it. I'm loving it.
No, but I bought a few things from WP
I bought a convetion oven a year ago and it puked out this past week when I wanted to broil a london broil. I was very disappointed. Up until then, I used to make cakes and whole BBQ chickens on the rotisseie which all were great, plus the baking/roasting things. I'm hoping I just did something wrong when but I'm afraid I might not have. I also have his SS pots and pans bought a year before that that are still sitting in the box because I found anoter set of pots and pans that were given as a Christma giflt, so I'm using them.
i will be making chicekn again this week rotiserries style so keep your finers crossed for me. Of course, the warranty ran out prior this happening.
You should have bought different camera. We went
xx
I just bought some this morning -- our
local convenience store (Sheetz) sells them in packs of 3 for $1.00. Love 'em, but nothing beats scraping the pot when it's still warm!!! MMMMMM!!!!
