Some candles smell good enough to eat! The Slatkin & Co. Salty Caramel Candle definitely falls into that category. It smells exactly like caramel popcorn that you’d get at a carnival.

If you have a sweet tooth and a nose for all things sugary, you’re going to swoon over this scented candle from Bath & Body Works! It’s over-the-top sweet, but it doesn’t give me a headache (surprisingly).

Too bad this blog doesn’t have a scratch-and-sniff feature because this is a candle you have to smell to believe!

First thing’s first – Happy St. Patrick’s Day! (Drink responsibly…that is, if you’re old enough to drink, of course.)

Now onto the review! No, not of booze. Cotton candy! Well, a candle.

I’m a sucker for anything that claims to have a cotton-candy scent. It’s probably because it reminds me of my incredible father (who passed away last year).

Whenever we went to the summer carnivals, he’d always buy me cotton candy…even if I wasn’t a kid anymore.

My fingers would get all sticky. My teeth would need a thorough brushing. And cotton candy was my edible happiness.

When I saw the new Slatkin & Co. Cotton Candy Candle from Bath & Body Works in its cute pink packaging, not only did I have to buy it, but I had to buy a back-up, too.

Did I regret that decision? Does it smell like sweet summer sugar? Continue reading →

Lilacs are my favorite flowers – it’s a shame how their blooms don’t last long in the spring. And although there are lots of scents on the market that claim to be lilac-scented, I find that they always smell artificial and nauseating.

When I was a kid, my family and I planted a lilac tree in the backyard, which my bedroom overlooked. Throughout the years, the young tree matured and provided us with full and very fragrant lilac blossoms. The scent would waft up to my room, and it was pure heaven!

One year, we snipped off tons of lilac bunches and placed them all over the house. Although my mom got a headache from the floral overload, I just couldn’t get enough! And my cat at the time, Tiger, even was spotted taking the time to sniff the lilacs on occasion!

So when I found out about the Slatkin & Co. Lilac Blossom Candle sold at Bath & Body Works, I had to buy it and see if, for once, this was a genuine lilac fragrance.

Is it a lilac-lover’s dream? Does it smell fake and contrived? Let me tell you what I think! Continue reading →

A couple of weekends ago, Fiona and I made some delicious chocolate-chip cookies from scratch.

Being a total Swatch And Learn devotee, it reminded me to do a Slatkin & Co. Homemade Cookies Candle review.

If the thought of sugary-sweet scents alone is enough to give you a headache, this isn’t for you.

But for people out there, like me, who swoon over bakery fragrances, you’re in for a treat. And you won’t have to get any mixing bowls dirty, either! Continue reading →
