Best Candles EVER- Southwestern Style with Ocotillo Southwest Candles and Sprays

I received these free for my honest and unbiased review.

Let me just start out by saying my husband hates candles and yet he asked me to buy more of these. Normally when I bring home a candle he makes a face and cringes. Not this time, this time he asked me what other southwestern scents they had. I let him pick the scent for this one, which was Native Piñon Pine. I have to say having moved to Missouri I miss the smell of Colorado. The instant I pulled one of these candles out the smell of pine tree struck me in an instant. Now I have had some supposed pine tree candles that smelled nothing like a pine tree. I was terrified this would be one of those candles. I was dead wrong, this smells exactly like a Piñon Pine tree, and when I say exact I mean exact. I lit this in my living room and the whole room instantly smelled like my beautiful mountains of Colorado. Enough so that my kids came downstairs saying it smelled like the Rocky Mountains in our house, needless to say they took the other candle.

I had to go see what else this company has to offer, these candles come in a variety of awesome scents like Sopapillas and Honey...My mouth is drooling. You can also get the fun scent of Tres Leches or the sweet smell of Prickly Pear Blossom. Let me tell you if you have not tasted or smelled Prickly Pear your missing out. I have a number of other scents on my list....Rocky Mountain Breeze being next after this delightful Piñon Pine.

This is a beautiful two pack set. They come in Mason Jars, with lids and a beautiful little hand stamped copper charm. These are just beautiful and will be going on my Christmas tree this year. Each set of two comes with a wick dipper. Mine was shaped like a heart and so sweet. The candles burn for a long time considering the size. There is just nothing bad I can say about these candles. I love the scent, colors, extras, and look. They match my primitive and southwestern country home perfectly. I already have some more candles on order for presents this Christmas.

Jewelry In Candles Reveal

~I was not compensated for this, but I will make a small commission if you make a purchase from my link~

So I saw an opportunity to join Jewelry in Candles when they had their One Dollar signups. I thought what they heck, I LOVE candles and everyone LOVES Jewelry. I honestly am not that big of a jewelry person but since I love candles I thought... I can give them to my daughter and keep the candle. Ha ha yeah right! We are fighting over them now.

A friend offered to host an online facebook party for me and I thought that sounded fun. So to help her out I placed an order and I knew I really should be trying the product I am selling, right? I ordered Vanilla Latte Tarts, a Hazelnut Coffee Candle and a Fool Me or Fool Me Not bonus candle. Let me explain about this Bonus candle. They have these off and on throughout the year this just happened to be the most recent one.

Fool Me (17% of candles) Enjoy the surprising scents of Lemon Drop and Mango Tangerine while discovering your jewelry of choice. (no bonus rewards included)

Fool Me Not (83% of candles) In addition to your jewelry of choice, discover an additional piece of jewelry, free products or other bonus prizes.

Here is my Fool Me or Fool Me Not Reveal..I love the one ring and the other is funny, perfect for this particular candle....The one ring matches the earrings I have to reveal next. This one is also double scented and you never know which scent you will get on top. Mine is Mango Tangerine on top and it smells wonderful. I can't wait to smell the Lemon Drop though.

My next reveal was for the Vanilla Latte Tarts. Now I was expecting normal tarts...but these are HUGE! I am serious, they are much bigger than normal tarts. I would say about double the size.

Last I got my daughter Emily a Hazelnut Coffee Candle. We both really love this candle scent. It's a really nice subtle scent...makes the house smell good without that, I lit a candle to hide the smell, smell. Ha ha ha! Oh and these candles are about the same size as a Yankee Candle, they are not small.

So I am now addicted..I am in LOVE with Jewelry in Candles. It's a good quality product, 100% Soy Wax. You get to pick your jewelry. They offer necklaces, earrings and Men's and Women's rings in a number of sizes. So you won't have to worry you'll get something you can't use. All candles are hand made in the United States. All Candles and Tarts include jewelry.

Give them a try for yourself and choose your own Jewelry in Candles!

~DIY & Review~ Deluxe Flickering LED Tea Lights - Primitive DIY Tutorial

~I received these for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

Who doesn't love flickering lights? They are such a good mood setting, but candles can be expensive and dangerous. I have used flicker tea lights for years but am in love with these Deluxe Flickering LED Tea Lights by GETCANDLED. They are super cute just how they come but I like to mix it up a little.

Do it Yourself Primitive Flicker Lights

What you Need- Everything can be found at Wallyworld!

A Pan to heat wax in. I prefer one you plug in. Just leave excess wax in for another project.
Wax (Brown if you can find it)
Brown and/or Black coloring
Cinnamon in a small dish or on wax paper.

1-Melt the wax in the pan, not too hot..you don't want to burn yourself.
2-Add a couple drops of brown coloring, and one of black. Add more as needed.

3-Dip lights in the wax and pull out. Immediately roll in cinnamon.
4-Repeat step 3 a couple times till it's the thickness you desire.

These pretty much dry instantly. Put in a dish or on your table...That's it!

Want to buy a box of your own to try? You can buy them on Amazon.
