Where do you buy candles?
I like Partylite's candles but I can't justify $13.50+ for a dozen.
Target?
Yankee Candle? (is the only one locally at MOA?)
What are your favorite fragrances?

Re: Where do you buy candles?
I use to burn candles ALL the time. Now I rarely do. I love my scentsy burner. The scents around $5 each and last a lot longer, so cheaper then candles.
When I did buy candles I loved Yankee candle. I know there are some at other malls (atleast I believe there are), they do sell them at Hallmark and Target. Other ones I really like are from Target, I can't think of the brand but they are in a white jar. They have a strong scent and the scent lasts.

I forgot about scentsy!
Do the scents last awhile or do they burn up quickly?
Is anyone in this post a Scentsy consultant? If I order online, I'd rather give someone I 'know' credit for the order.
I agree they last for what seems like FOREVER!!! I have a consultant I use if you want to use her.
We should do a nestie scentsy party.

They last forever! I've yet to ever run out of a scent. And that bar that you buy for $5; you don't use it all. You break off sections (pre-cut so it's easy to break) and depending on the room size and how strong you want the fragrance you only use maybe 2-3 little squares. I rotate scents every 2 months or so and when I'm done I pour the melted wax back into the container with the other squares I've yet to use and when it hardens it's still that full brick I bought for only $5. Hope that makes sense.

They don't "burn" because the wax is heated by a light bulb. They seriously last a REALLY long time. I'm not a consultant nor do I have a consultant, I always purchase through ones that are doing fundraisers (typically for animal rescues).
hmmm... I think I'm going to have to buy a couple.
I like what pp said about pouring the melted wax in the container to let harden and reuse. Very economical
Ok..what are all of your favorite scents?
Seriously. It's weird that I feel like I have a full bar even after several months of use! ha!
My all-time favorite so far (I've only tried 6 scents) is the Black Raspberry Vanilla. What type of scents are you interested in? Fruity? Musky? Flowery?
It's funny this post came up because I am in love with scentsy but don't have any yet...i just hooked up with a consultant in my area last weekend and am thinking about having a party because I have a lot of people that like them too that would come to a party. If I do end up having one, you can throw anything on my order or you can come to the party if you want to meet

You can always find candles on sale at Kohls. I do believe that they have some Yankee candles there too. I know it sounds crazy, but I got some really long lasting and great smelling ones from Menards! I think they were like Carolina Candle Company or something? I think I got the big jars (like 20 oz?) for about $5.
If you have one PLEASE let me know I will seriously come. I want to get a burner for LO's room and need more scents.
My favorite is satin sheets.

I enjoy this one as well.
my read shelf:
I'm a buzz kill... I've almost completely stopped buying candles...
1. they make the inside air quality horrible
2. the scents drive my nose/allergies crazy
When I do buy candles, I buy whatever candles I can find that are beeswax/soy/natural based without petrochemicals used in the fragrance.
If I do need some fragrance in the house, I'll usually just put a small pot of water on the stove (heat on low) and throw in it whatever scent I want the house to have. Vanilla, cinnamon sticks, citrus slices...

If it's pillars, the ball candles, or votives, I splurge on Partylite. They burn so nicely and cleanly that it's worth it to me!
I might have a coupon code you can use!
