Old Factory Candles ~ Candle Experience and Tutorial







Wow - just lit the first candle in my lovely new set of Old Factory Candles and I love it. I chose the Fresh and Clean set which included Olive Blossom, Fresh Linen and Lemongrass and I started with the Lemongrass. Each candle is hand-poured in the USA and made with fragrant oils and soy wax. They come in cute little 2 ounce jars with lids and Pauline (Customer Love Specialist - great job title) sent me some little tips to get the most out of these great smelling candles.

Here's a few helpful tips on how to get the most out of your candle experience:
1. We recommend burning your candles for 1 to 3 hours at a time, and then letting them cool an hour before burning again. We've found that this helps to extend the burning life of the candle.

2. We've carefully formulated these candles so they are pleasing to smell but not overpowering. These candles burn great individually in small rooms, or you can burn 2 at a time in a larger room. We've grouped the fragrances in each gift set to complement each other nicely so you can pair them up for a great-smelling combination.

3. A little bit of wick management will help your candles last longer. Make sure to keep the wick trimmed to a reasonable length. And if you notice that the wick is starting to lean against the side of the jar, use a spoon to carefully re-position the wick to the center of the jar while the wax is warm and pliable.



These candle sets are sold exclusively on Amazon - here is a link to the Winter Wonderland option (such fun names) :

Check out all the fab options available! There are nice little touches added by the Old Factory Candle people such as the quality packaging with sayings to the excellent customer service. Gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.



GIVEAWAY!!!
Even better I get to share the love by offering a giveaway! The winner gets an exclusive coupon code for 1 box of Old Factory Candle Gift Set to use on Amazon- retail value $25! *Note* - you need to have an Amazon account and if you do not have Prime (I do not have Prime) you will need a PayPal account so Red Rover Naturals can reimburse you for shipping.

This was my first review for BrandBacker.com and I was supplied with an incentive. All opinions are my own.

    I like that the scents are grouped together so you can burn one in each room and they don't compete with each other.

      Greetings Marija - they are a lot of fun and I really like the unique fragrances. I used a bamboo stick to nudge the wick back to the center. No need to clean a spoon :D

Silk and Cookies I'll be ready with Silk and cookies so I do not eat all the candy between trick or treaters. Discovering new beverages is a favorite pastime of mine  so when bzzagent.com invited me to try out Silk Almond Coconut Blend I was delighted. It fits right in with my new health program . I should say continuous health program - I am always looking for new ways to enjoy some of my favorite things - just in a healthier way. I tried coconut milk from my local farmer's market as I kept hearing about all the wonderful things it does. It was missing the taste good thing. So this is a great way to baby step my way into the coconut health trend without missing a beat. I was going to write about all the fabulous properties of Silk Almond Coconut Blend then I had a brainstorm - I'll just show you the product info. Note that the Silk Almond Coconut Milk I chose only has 50 calories per serving (1 cup) and there is an unsweetened version with just 35 calories...

The author , Dr..Reza Ghorbani MD , ABIPP, FIPP is a Harvard trained pain management specialist.

Even some humor as there are quite a few cartoon panels. I was especially pleased to find recipes containing pain fighting herbs ~ especially turmeric! I knew turmeric was good for pain and  look for it in prepared mustard and recently noticed it as an ingredient in Mahatma brand yellow rice. I was telling Mike  (the o...
