| I admit...every time I saw one of those Yankee Candle stores go up, here in upstate, I used to kind of laugh. Really (I'd think to myself) do we need a candle store in Rochester where we barely have decent clothing stores!?! Then one day, I was getting my hair cut at Maria's. She is a stylist who works out of her house ( it's wonderful, I might add) and she lit a Yankee Candle...apple cinnamon, I believe. Well, from that day on, I laughed no more. Oh Yankee Candles really are pretty heavenly. I recently discovered all their 'beach' themed scents and I could not love them more. And the lesson learned...don't scoff at something so popular...'cause there is usually a darn good reason for it :) |
I'm loving your beach inspired posts! Its so funny because I used to think yankee candles were not for me until mom gave me one which I lit everyday in my sweat shop and it was so awesome! I even bought a few different flavors and it smelled so nice in the shop, total aromatherapy. I am definitely going to get these flavors for my beachy sweat shop in Kiawah:)
ReplyDeleteOh this will be lovely for your beachy sweat shop Laura! That's hilarious that mom gave you your first one! I'm telling you...listen to biggums. She knows what time it is :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I have had such a turn around with these Yankee Candles. I thought they were so stupid and hokey...and expensive frankly. But they are worth every penny and they have the most fantastic scents that (more importantly) don't gross me out after 5 min of burning. Now that I know you like them...I love them even more!
