Henry has inherited my hyper-sensitivity and we often commiserate over strange smells that no one else seems to pick up on. And together we celebrate the good smells in life.
So I had him help me test all the wonderful candles that Colonial Candle company sent me to review. My house smelled divine for two weeks while we burned candles smelling of the beach, leather and Tibetan Sandalwood.
Our favorite is the Go Green candle in Clean, which is made from recycled wax in recycled glass. It smelled fresh and light, a perfect summer scent. I also loved Platinum Pearl, which has a sort of perfumy, boudoir smell of cinnamon, pink pepper, patchouli, cedarwood and vanilla. It's intoxicating and sexy.
Colonial Candle is offering BlahBlahBabycakes readers

I'm also giving away this adorable sock monkey courtesy of Colonial Candle. Isn't he cute? Reminiscent of the sock monkeys popular during The Great Depression, Genuine Sock Monkeez encourage imaginative play.
