Gellite Candle Company

I received the package from Gellite Candle company and was really surprised at what was packed inside.. Normally I think of candles I think of either something like the wickless candles that need a burner or a something solid such as soy, regular bees wax or your run of the mill wax, but That was not the case here. While the containers that contained the candles were of course solid, glass, the candles themselves were not… they are kind of like Jell-O!! Very interesting.. I couldn’t help but want to touch it..










In my package I received 3 different types of candles.. One in a very nice crystal wine glass in the smell of Merlot.. It had a very sweet smell that I know I have smelled before but couldn’t quite place.. It was very good though..

The second candle I received was in a little glass urn and along with the Jell-O type substance was shells and sand!! It is sooo pretty, almost too pretty to burn. I can definitely see someone just keeping it as decoration and not burning it!! This one was blue making it look like it was underwater and the smell reminds me of sitting on the beach having the breeze blow up over me, the scent being Bay Breeze.

The last one definitely my favorite smell is coconut lime verbena. I absolutely love the smell!! Reminds me of my cruise vacation and summer… These came in little tea lights. These also were squishy as my oldest says. They all have bubbles with in the gel giving them a very unique look.

They came very well packaged in bubble wrap as well as packing peanuts. Their website is very easy to maneuver, having the option to either shop by scent, price, or type of glass you want you candle to come in. They have some fun containers including a beer mug, martini glass, wine glass, and coffee mug! They have sizes from tea lights and tarts to 26 oz jars. They also suggest making your own scent by using one scent of tea light and a different scent tart! I have to admit I will be most likely ordering more from them, I have a few combinations in mind that I would love to try out!
Just a little info on Gellite Candles, they are made here in the good Ol’ US of A! Gel candles burn 3-5 times longer than regular wax candles. The gel is made with mineral oil with polymers added to maintain their stiffness. Their wicks is lead free and it’s a cotton wick with a zinc core.
The 9oz shell urn jar will burn for approximately 75 hours and retails for $16.97, their 10oz wine glass will burn for approximately 85 hours and retails for $15. 97, and the tea lights will burn 8-10 hours each and retail for $6.97. These are not bad prices considering they do burn slow.

Con: although they have a great scent, but if you are burning them in a larger room they dont seem to permiate the whole area.

Overall: These are great unique candles, that have great scent. They burn long and clean and make a beautiful addition to any room. I will definately be ordering from them again! They are a great business that offers both options for your home as well as for your group as a fundraiser. They offer a great variety in both scent and look!

Soy Simplicities

I was window shopping so to speak one afternoon on amazon.com and came across this little company Soy Simplicities. I have started burning soy candles mostly because they last a lot longer. I burn a lot of candles and usually all day.
What caught my eye with this company is that they have a candle scent called Baking Brownies!!! OMG I can not tell you how good it smells!! Makes my mouth water! Smells just like you are making a fresh batch of brownies in the oven.. The smell lasts too. It doesn’t just fade into the background.
Being how well this candle lasted I ordered up some others, some scents I knew I would enjoy. I ordered gingerbread, roasted coffee, lilac and spring rain. I have to admit that the other scents were not nearly as potent. I did like the smell of the ginger bread and the spring rain but the coffee, not so much. I have yet to try the lilac. That will be my next sent once I have counters again, (for those who don’t know we are in the process of remodeling our kitchen). They come in a cute little jar or in a mason jar. They also come in different sizes.



Pro: the baked brownies smell incredible!! They last long, they are soy so there is less “soot”, they have a lot of great sounding scents, different sizes, the jars are reusable after they are washed w soap and warm water.

Cons: a bit pricey $10 for an 8 oz jar, they are all white candles so you cant tell what scent you are grabbing unless you look at the tag, some of the scents are not as strong.

Overall: I will order from them again. The candles do smell great. They are made with 100% natural soy wax, cotton lead-free wicks and select fragrance oils, Cleaner burning, longer lasting, wonderfully scented candle, Non-toxic, eco-friendly and water soluble, healthy choice for sharing and enjoying your favorite aromas with friends and family. I recommend them to anyone who likes different smelling candles.

Lil' Kitchen Candles: Sadie's Review

Wow! This candle from Lil' Kitchen Candles is gorgeous and smells so good! We live in an apartment, so sometimes the candles we light will be a bit overwhelming. But this one isn't - it's perfect. When you walk in the door, you smell it, but it doesn't take over. It's a great candle all around. I like how it arrived wrapped -- definitely gift-giving ready. :)



This candle really caught my attention... I'd love to have it sitting out on my counter when company comes over. :) And I'm sure it smells lovely as well!



Good: Cute design, very unique, great smell. Prices seem very reasonable, not sure about shipping costs.

Bad: Etsy page has 0 items for sale, and finding her price list was difficult.

Dee's Country Candles: Sadie's Review

Dee's Country Candles sent lots of things for us to review, so I enlisted the help of my kids, girlfriend, and neighbor! Prices are great -- this warmer is only $8!



Body Frosting: We tried Hawaiian Ginger and Crab Apple. The Hawaiian Ginger was great. Crab Apple, not so much! But if you like apple, you may like it. :)




Candles: We tried New Moon. Dee's candle was great! No black smoke, like many soy candles. The scent was "New Moon" but it smells more like fresh laundry. Nice, clean scent.




Tarts: We tried the French Strawberry, Red Sedona and Clothesline Fresh scents. The Red Sedona was a unique smell. Clothesline fresh smelled just perfect. None of us liked the French Strawberry, at all.



Bath Bombs: Black Raspberry Vanilla and Love Spell - we enjoyed them both. The kids thought they were great and said they were super fizzy! I don't see them on her website, so I'm not sure about the price.

Good: Prices seem middle of the road, and she charges actual shipping which is nice. Nobody likes being overcharged for shipping! Everything was nicely packaged, organized, and professional looking. I could tell she spent a lot of time on making the products.

Bad: Some of the scents seemed way off (like the French Strawberry).
