By The Bay Botanicals Destination Scentsations Candle Review

2012-02-24T16:52:49-05:00

They say that a scent can trigger memories or remind people of certain experiences or places. That can certainly be said for the Destination Scentsations Candles from By The Bay Botanicals. These amazing Palm Wax candles are some of the best fragrances I've tried.

They have an entire line of "Destinations" which is so unique and creative. They also make great gifts for friends and family.

I had the opportunity to experience 3 of these Scentsations and here's my review.

Waimea White Gardenia - I am a huge fan of Gardenia and this candle delivers a delightful floral bouquet that fills the room quickly. It is light, airy and will have your guests thinking they've entered a Tiki Hut in Hawaii. It's a wonderful candle for both indoors and outdoors and burns like a dream.

Waimea White Gardenia is also part of the new Hawaiian Candle collection which includes: Maui Pineapple Plantation, Waikiki Teakwood Tiki and North Shore Surfer's Paradise.

Key West Key Lime Pie - Next up is Key Lime Pie! Who doesn't love the smell of fresh limes? My two favorite kitchen scents are lemon and lime so I was very excited to try this one out. The scent filled my kitchen with an aroma so enchanting and delicious that my husband actually believed that I had either cooked a pie or was slicing limes. This candle is absolutely tops on my "Lime" collection.

Columbus Country Cranberry - Last up is Columbus Country Cranberry. Being from Ohio I was thrilled to give this one a try. Again it delivered an amazing scent that filled the house with the aroma of fresh cranberries. It's a sweeter scent then some I've smelled and that's what makes it so unique and special. Perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas. This candle is sure to please your guests!

This was also the first time I've tried a Palm Wax candle and I am now sold on this eco-friendly clean burning wax. By The Bay Botanicals are also Made in the USA and they use all cotton wicks.

I highly recommend all of these scents!

These candles come in two sizes:

Weekender 12 oz size. Burns for approximately 40 hours for $12.00

Vacation Getaway Size. Burns for approximately 80 hours for $20.00

Other Destination Scentsations that sound intriguing for Spring are Louisville Victorian Lilac and Charleston Carnation Blossom.

By The Bay Botanicals also has a wonderful story. They are located in a 1930's farmhouse and homestead of 1.2 acres in Maryland. You can read more about how they craft their candles here and do watch the "Behind the Scenes" video of owner Michelle making her magic!

Goose Creek Candle Review

2012-01-28T15:09:27-05:00

I recently came across a new (to me) candle company that I am thrilled with!

Goose Creek Candles are simply amazing. This Cinnamon Beignet candle (see photo) is a part of the American Heritage collection which is a "multi-sided style jar with beautiful polished silver embossed lids."

The scent is simply amazing with a strong, but not overpowering cinnamon aroma. This collection also includes fragrances like: Blueberry Passion, Dark Vanilla Bean and Hazelnut Cream.

Goose Creek also has a huge selection of other delectable candles including these adorable Folk Art Jar Candles which feature the renowned folk artist David Harden. Apple Cheesecake looks amazing!

Goose Creek offers a flat $5 shipping rate. Also be sure to check out their new Valentine's Day fragrance, Twilight Forest.
