I know, I know...candles are not a beauty item, per se. But you have to admit, nothing can change the feeling of a room like a great candle. The ability to lift moods or make someone relax is something that shouldn't be taken lightly. Women use candles to calm their nerves in the bath, to lessen odors in the kitchen, and set mood lighting. A simple little thing used for centuries, and we still use it today. Something has to be said for the candles ability to maintain through years and years of progress. Besides, in a black out, whats more reliable than a candle??
What if a candle can be something more? What if a candle can not only make you relax, but makes you a little more lovely than you already are?
A few weeks ago, I was messing around on a website I found on Facebook, sneekpeeq.com. With sneakpeeq.com, you are able to search for niftly items for "living", "style", "beauty", and "inspiration". You can browse dozens of companies running short term sales. The cute part of all of this is that you look at the item and see the retail price, the use one of your twenty "peeqs" to take a look at the discounted offerings on the site. (On TOP of that, they give you "badges" for browsing that offer a wide array of discounts from 10% off to free shipping...YAY!) Well, that diatribe aside, I was browing around and saw something called Diamond Candles. My curiosity was piqued. So I looked and saw that these were 21oz, all natural soy candles, but the beauty part is that part way down this lovely candle is a little ball of golden foil. Within this foil is a lovely surprise...a ring! And not just a ring, but a ring that could be worth up to $5,000!!
During all this research for information, I stumbled on a Groupon for Diamond Candles. I bought it and decided on which fragrances to buy: Sweety Pea and Lemon Lavender.
When they arrived, I lit the Sweety Pea first. I adored the fragrance. It filled my room and lingered for hours even after the candle was snuffed. Because the candle is 100% soy (USA grown, by the way), I was hoping that I would be able to apply the warmed wax as a lotion, and low and behold I could. Darker wax generally gives you a harder time blending, but this did okay for me, and it was super moisturizing!
After about 10 hours, I was able to see the foil peeking out. About an hour later, I grabbed my tweezers and got ahold of the little packet. I wiped it down with paper towels, then used the tweezers to unwrap my surprise...

I love my ring! And the best part was that it fit!
These candles retail for $24.95 and there is $5 flat rate standard shipping, though you CAN expidite it for a higher cost. Want to try these candles at a discount? First time customers can get a coupon from Plum District for $15, but you DO still have to pay for the shipping.

As an aside, I wanted to let everyone know that I have never been compensated for any review. I would be willing to use sample sizesfrom companies, but I won;t be paid for my opinion. I take my commitment to sharing things with you all very seriously, and I would never recommend anything that I didn't believe was worth it.
I hope you all have a beautiful day, my lovelies! Take care!
Because of you, my husband has announced he will be buying me one of these either soon or for Christmas. He knows I adore my candles and the fact that it comes a with a ring (one he doesn't have to pick out) is perfect for him. I didn't expect it at all. He actually saw a post about it and came to tell me that he was going to buy me one before I ever had the chance to say a word.
