HOLIDAY CANDLES

Bath & Body Works had an awesome deal going the past few weeks - two 3-wick candles for $20!  They are normally $20 just for one, so I figured it'd be a great time to get one of my new favorites - Fireside Marshmallow!


I took a chance and ordered Cranberry Pear Bellini as my second choice. I wish I could say I was happy with it, but I was a little disappointed.  It doesn't smell bad, I guess I was just expecting more of a Christmas-y scent since it's part of the new holiday line.  The website describes it as "a bright blend of sparkling cranberry, sweet pear nectar and luscious blackcurrant."  I wish the cranberry was more prominent, but for me, all I can smell is a sweet fruity nectar. Again, not a bad scent by any means, just not something I personally like for the holidays.

I was, however, THRILLED with my Marshmallow Fireside candle.  I wish they'd invent some kind of scratch-n-sniff for our computer monitors so I could share with you! :D  It's described on the website as " a warm blend of marshmallows, smoldering woods and creamy vanilla reminiscent of a cozy evening 'round the bonfire."  It's just heavenly!  If you aren't into the cinnamon or strong pine scents for the holidays - check this one out!

Marshmallow Fireside has been my absolute favorite from their fall collection. Really have to run back to see if they still have any more left and stock up on those.

Yes! I need to do the same! They are great for winter too. I really haven't been too impressed with any of the others I've smelled this season.

I didn't like the cranberry one when I smelled it in the store. The marshmallow one smells good but I always skip over it when I buy these candles. next time I go, I'm buying one!

@Katy, let me know what you think of it! It's different, but a nice different :)

@Kelly, I know, that's the terrible part LOL But I was working extra hours when the sale was going on and didn't have a chance to get over there and sniff! haha Next time I DEFINITELY will do that before ordering online!
