I love candles. I burn them year round and especially on the week-ends while I’m relaxing and sipping my coffee. The smell of a good candle is yummy and soothes the senses. When I was asked by Spiral Light Candle Corporation to review one of their candles I jumped at the opportunity. I went to the site and debated over and over on the scent that I wanted to try. The site has approximately 50 – 60 different scents to choose from, so I waivered. I finally selected the Buttered Rum and waited in anticipation for its arrival. I must say, I was not disappointed. It smelled heavenly just removing it from the box.

On to the review, this candle is unique. Check out the picture, the wick is on the side of the candle versus the center. As the candle burns, it fills the middle. For safety purposes, please remove the paper wrapper before burning. I left the paper on the candle initially for advertising purposes.

While the candle was burning, I was expecting a more powerful scent to emerge. It didn’t, but I was fascinated by how it burned and for how long. Once the well of the candle fills, you can light the center wick and you continue to enjoy the candle. I love this idea, I’ve never seen a candle burn in this manner. You can check out the demonstration here:

I have found a new candle resource. There are several other scents that I would like to try like the Cinnamon and Cabernet. The Apple Spice is on my list for my daughter. She loves to burn candles like her mother. These candles would be a great birthday, Mother’s Day, or holiday gift, so keep them in mind. I know I will.

Holiday Candle Ideas

November 16, 2012 by Rhonda Gales

I love candles, and burn them regularly. I was searching for holiday candle ideas, and found these. They look easy to make, and I wanted to share the idea with my readers in case you were looking for ideas.

The first candle centerpiece requires Indian Corn and a cake candle. I would suggest using a rubber band to hold the corn in place. Place a few ears around the candle, using the rubber band to hold the ears in place. Slip additional ears under the rubber band until you form a complete circle. I plan to use a ribbon instead of the cord. Place the ribbon over the rubber band and tie a bow.

Grocery stores or farmer’s markets may still have Indian corn.

It’s too late use this idea for me, but it’s adorable. The leaves are too dry for me to risk using them around a flame. Boom! Get the message, lol. If the leaves are still falling in your area you may want to try this idea.

This is my favorite candle idea. I will be using my grandchildren on the pictures and festive ribbon for Christmas centerpieces. I’ll be using pillar candles as they are taller. Dig out those hurricane glasses ladies and get to work. If you have other ideas for candle centerpieces, please leave us a comment.
