    • ]]>     What’s more relaxing than taking a bath in candlelight? Most of my favorite spa’s have lit candles either all throughout the entire spa or very strategically placed throughout the spa. Whether I’m getting a massage at a spa or I’m relaxing in my tub at home, I always like to have a candle lit. I highly recommend turning your bathroom into your own personal spa. I have selected two Volcanica candles that I think are perfect for bath time and perfect spa looking/feeling candles. Both of these candles are unscented. I do like scented candles as well. Very much, actually. But I wanted to pick perfect spa/bath time candles that will work for anyone. So, I found the most beautiful unscented candles that I could find. The first candle from Volcanica that I love for spa/bath time is called Sear, and it burns for 77 hours. Volcanica

    The second candle from Volcanica that I love for bath time and for creating your own personal spa at home is called Avalanche, and this one burns for 140 hours. It’s so beautiful!

    Volcanica has a huge and very impressive selection of candles. It was very difficult to choose favorites because I love so many of their candles. I have to tell you about my absolute favorite Volcanica candle for my home. It’s so much more than a candle. It’s a beautiful centerpiece that captures your attention the moment you walk into my living room. It’s a very sexy looking candle. It’s a three wick candle called Byzantine. Although it has 134 hours of burning time, I am SO reluctant to burn it at all because I want to keep it forever. The details on this candle are breathtaking!!!volcanica

    I absolutely love Volcanica candles!

    • ]]>     jomaloneI’m in love with the Jo Malone Candle Collection. It’s so lovely! With nothing but the highest quality of products, Jo Malone is always so sophisticated and chic. The Candle Collection comes with six candles and all six candles smell incredibly beautiful. I truly love them all! The scents are: Lime Basil & Mandarin, Grapefruit, Pomegranate Noir, Nectarine Blossom & Honey, Orange Blossom and Wild Fig & Cassis. The Candle Collection is a wonderful gift to give someone. You can’t go wrong with this one! If you haven’t introduced yourself to Jo Malone, I highly recommend that you do so. While I was doing some holiday shopping a few days ago in a department store, I visited the Jo Malone section. I didn’t see anything there that I wouldn’t absolutely love to have. It is such a beautiful line of products. And the scents that they have, for both body and home, are out of this world. Such delicious scents! I could spend hours smelling and testing Jo Malone products. Happy Holidays!

    Jo Malone Candle Collection $85.00

    • ]]>     I can’t have enough candles! I love burning them, I love the perfect light they give off, I love all of the different scents and I love the way a great candle sets the mood for my spa time. There’s nothing better than starting your bath and lighting a candle, or a few, in the bathroom and bathing in candlelight. It’s so relaxing and soothing. I’m currently burning Pacifica’s Brazilian Mango Grapefruit Soy Candle and I love it. It’s a very mild scent, so it doesn’t interfere with what I’ve got in my bathwater. It has peach and apricot undertones, mixed with mango and grapefruit. It’s a very calming and lovely scent. I love all candles but I’ve been trying to stick with soy candles for a while now. Soy candles burn cleaner, are non-toxic, and don’t produce carcinogens. The amount of smoke released from soy wax is so minimum that it’s hardly even noticeable. Also, soy wax burns longer than petroleum wax. Why not make your environment as healthy as possible? That’s why I prefer soy candles. Pacifica has a great variety of scents to chose from. Another one of the Pacifica Soy Candles I love is the Bali Lime Papaya. It smells so good! Set the mood for yourself. Make bath time extra special. Bathe in candlelight. I promise it makes it that much more relaxing.

    And…PS: Who doesn’t look even sexier in candlelight? Just a helpful hint!
