Candle Blog

I will keep this post really brief as tomorrow is the big day and I just finished up some of my preliminary Thanksgiving preparations.

I just wanted to follow up on my post yesterday covering Oprah’s favorite things list of 07 and more specifically the Oprah candles, which this year are the Mayan Tuberose candles. We have received some nice feedback on these candles already and are excited to announce that we starting initial conversations with the distributor of these special Oprah candles and hopefully have more on this early next week.

I decided to throw a totally different party for all my friends this year. I was really tired of doing the same thing year after year, with my usual list of; who is suppose to bring the potato salad, who is going to bring the dessert and so on. Boooring!!! It took me a while to think of a new topic for my party, but then it suddenly hit me. Everybody loves candles, why not have everyone bring one or two candles each, to my Candle Party instead!

Do you ever notice when you watch one those decorating shows on HGTV or TLC that the rooms exude an outstanding glow? Now one might think the power of television took this dull old house and transformed it in 24 hours and with $200 into a house that can grace the covers of some serious design magazines. The power of TV is amazing but that’s not what’s making these transformed rooms glow, its the candles. These rooms are “fixed” during the day and end result is filmed at night allowing them to exploit the power of the candles.

I love to shop, I love fashion, I am your typical girly girl. I buy all the new makeup that comes out and I have fallen in LOVE with designer jeans, but designer candles? I don’t know. I cant see a reason to spend $80 plus on a candle. If I was going to spend that kind of money on a candle there better be multiple candles in there or last for a year. But no, these are single regular candles. I understand that they are made by expensive designers and they come in beautiful glass jars, but come on! So what is the difference?
