It is based on a fragrance from a Southern shrub. Nest Bamboo is also a favorite though I do love Votivo Red Currant, long time favorite. Nest makes a great Christmas candle. Smells great. That for suggesting Tatine, I will look for it here in Texas!Debehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15145382104175784365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-14066502288231322052017-02-22T10:39:06.552-08:002017-02-22T10:39:06.552-08:00I still love it too Karen!!I still love it too Karen!!cindy hattersley designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147135323683353754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-71984783231364345682017-02-22T10:38:45.581-08:002017-02-22T10:38:45.581-08:00Yes I need anything that MIGHT improve my memory!!...Yes I need anything that MIGHT improve my memory!!cindy hattersley designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147135323683353754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-1140690018805242642017-02-22T10:38:03.110-08:002017-02-22T10:38:03.110-08:00So true Elizabeth.

The container was a cut off, recycled wine bottle and the candle scent was Pinot Grigio, my favorite type of white wine. I really had my doubts that a wine scented candle would be pleasing, but it actually is. Just like your arugula candle, they do take liberties in the scent department but somehow it can work.Celia Becker @ After Orange Countyhttp://www.afterorangecounty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-22168735442861967662017-02-17T16:10:17.967-08:002017-02-17T16:10:17.967-08:00love this topic cindy, and love candles. in my sho...love this topic cindy, and love candles. in my shop i carry nest, try bamboo, it is their no. 1 scent. and, i just added the tatine line, celebration day is their number one. <br />my fav is nest 'moroccan amber', lush, moody and woodsy<br />but.......think anxiety relieving candles should move to the top!<br />xx<br />debradebra @ 5th and statehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18039580956294327582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-68784341040269110572017-02-17T04:38:18.371-08:002017-02-17T04:38:18.371-08:00not one in particular, but I recently visited a Ta...not one in particular, but I recently visited a Target store, and while admiring some of the unusual shaped containers (ceramic mostly) they are made by Nest!

My home scent...I have given up candles completely. My home scents now come from Young Living Essential Oils. I run my cool air diffusers and I make my own scents as needed. I most often mix lavender, peppermint and lemon for a fresh scent that helps clear the air of allergens in the evening. I diffuse lavender and cedarwood or patchouli in the morning while practicing gratitude and yoga. At bedtime I diffuse a blend called Gentle Baby and fall asleep gently and sleep deeply. This method is far more flexible than a one scent candle. Let me know if you want to give these a try....the combinations are practically endless.hollybhollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841641026067855009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149138383499703514.post-51631998508032816022017-02-14T03:35:20.980-08:002017-02-14T03:35:20.980-08:00I prefer woodsy scents.
