To know me is to love me, right?  Well, as long as I can remember, I have absolutely LOVED VAN GOGH!!!!   I mean, like wow - his work is just amazing and beautiful and I could get lost for days!  Do you have a favorite artist that you are just constantly drawn to???   Let me try to break it down a bit for you - remember "coffee table books" back in the day?  I don't ever heard people mentioning them now, so I don't know if it is even a thing these days...  Anyways - when I was in college - I bought this HUGE Van Gogh coffee table book - it was pricey too, but I just knew I needed it!  Then, we had the local museum - The High Museum of Atlanta - have a big Van Gogh exhibit and my best friend Cindy went with me to see it. I don't even know if she was really THAT into going to museums, but she knew I was and she went with me to experience something that she knew I loved.  Man, I could write a book about that girl... but now I am about to cr...

I will admit that I am pretty hard to shop for.  First of all, I do not want anyone buying me any clothes...  Shoes?  I am picky about that as well.  Last year, my wish list was a juicer... (I got it by the way, but not into juicing. just seems like a waste of the rest of the fruit/ veggies.)  I love lotions and potions and things of that nature, but then my family isn't one that is going to go to the mall and shop. It needs to be a small in and out store... or better yet, a link to a website.   The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

Since I follow many blogs, I have noticed that people kept talking about this candle ( I LOVE candles) that comes with a ring in it.  I thought that would be a great gift... and of course, I wanted to see for myself. ...

Who feels like a giveaway today?!  I do! I do! I have a bit of great news for you today!!!!!!!! Remember a bit ago when I hosted a review on Candle Warmers ? I really think that they are great! Perfect to give as a gift, as well as to have throughout your house! This past weekend, we had Marc's family in town... Now, with 11 people hanging out, I for sure did not want candles burning, but it was easy to have the warmer dish in the bathroom.  It made me happy to walk in the bathroom and have a nice fragrance in there, with so many people using the restroom!!!! I have enjoyed our candle warmers and now a lucky reader will enjoy one of their own!!! One lucky reader is going to win a warmer dish with a wax of their choice!!!!  FTC Compliant Review Policy: The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

I have a question...  Is it to early to start Christmas Shopping?  I am thinking it is okay to start and I think I will...  But first, I wanted to tell you about something... I was on twitter and found a pretty neat website...  Have you heard of Candle Warmers ?  Well, I was thinking that this was a great gift idea...  I love candles... but when I was in college, you could not have candles in your dorm.   So, we did without.  As much as I love Glade and spraying Lysol, you know nothing compares to walking in a room that has a wonderful scent of a fresh lit candle!  Well, that is how I feel about it.   As soon as  I was out of dorm life and on my own, we had candles all the time. Then... Motherhood came along and I was terrified of having a candle with a baby.   Granted, Broxton is three now, but still...  how many of you have lit candles in reach of a toddler?  That is just some...
