It's Give-Away Time! You don't want to miss this!

***This Giveaway is now closed!***

Well, hello there! Did you start the week off great? Well we have a little something for you, it's going to make you smile!

The fine folks over at Chesapeake Bay Candle sent us over a couple samples to try out after we took their Fragrance Personality Quiz, and boy Spring is in the air at Casa Katsaros! We landed on Orchard Guava and Turquoise Waters, and it fit us well. Let me explain.

The Orchard Guava is a sweet scent, but not in a sugary nauseating way. It was the first one I tested out because, I'll be honest, I like pink. Silly, I know. But anyway, the moment I lit it, I didn't want to put it out. It sat on our coffee table all night, and glowed romantically as Joey and I watched TV, and I fell asleep next to him. I hadn't done that in a while, and it was nice. I was surprised the next day when I thought I had wasted my candle, but it looked like I had barely used it. Score! Not only does it burn well, it smells great, and looked pretty! I was very pleased. 

The next day I lit up the Turquoise Waters while running around the house doing this and that. At first I didn't really pay much attention to the fact I had a lit candle on the dining room table, then all of a sudden.....I kept getting a whiff of clean. Ahhh...the candle. That's the best way to describe it. It made our home smell clean, and I like that. Even if the candle wasn't pink, it was still great.

Here's how Chesapeake Bay Candles Explains it, more gracefully;

“Our contemporary botanical blends and fresh, transparent notes infuse a room with aromas
so sheer they will enhance your atmosphere—rather than overwhelm and overpower. Evoking
a lifestyle of complete clarity and awareness with such a simplistic approach, this type of
transparency is sure to change more than just home fragrance and décor.”

 

So why do you care about our candle experience? Um, because we wanna share, not because we want to brag! Get your hands on your own super smelling pretty lookin' candles in today's giveaway!

I'd love to win the Orchid Guava candle, I love the Pineapple Orchid one from Bath and Body works, so I'm sure I"ll love this one! I burn candles all year long. YUM.

I would love the Lemon Zest or the Green Apple. I burn candles all year, and it depends on my mood as to what scent I burn!

I liked Chesapeake Candles on Facebook Claudia Smigel

Great giveaway! I clicked the "Like" button and posted to the CBC wall: So many fragrances...where to start? I love the "fragrance finder" on your site. Teakwood Cedar, Imagine and Believe Strongly top my list, but Lemon Zest is not far behind!
I do light candles all year. My favorite fragrances tend to be fall and winter food-related (apples, cinnamon), but I love the crisp scent of citrus all year round and mango/papaya to brighten things up in the spring.
