Step into Summer - Black & Light 6" Dragonfly - Fern Candle Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

Pin It
Photobucket

Welcome to our Step into Summer event! Jennifer and I have some wonderful things lined up for you to help you get ready for summer. Make sure you visit Jennifer at Eighty MPH Mom daily to see what she has in store for you too. Many days we will be reviewing and giving away the same item on both blogs - that is two chances for you to win!


"Our family owned business is headed by Holly Eve, our founder and a design and candle artisan. Holly combined her two passions, helping those around her and her love for candles.

In early 2007, we met the candle maker whose candles Holly always admired. She talked with him about her design ideas and her vision as to how they would look on his unique and glowing candles. A friendship and partnership ensued. black & light® co. was born."

I am a candle fanatic. My house is adorned in them. I am never without a candle. If we have a storm and the power goes out, I never worry. I have enough candles to keep our house lit for days. You'd think I'd be fine with that.

No, I'm not though. I look at the candle section of every store I go into. I smell them, I feel them. I just may be a candle addict. Hey, we all gotta have something, right?

Yes. Yes, we do!

I just can't help but be mesmerized by their glow and sometimes their scent. They're calming, romantic and pretty. There's nothing better than watching a scary movie with candles lit throughout the room. It totally intensifies the eeriness I think!



I was sent the 6" Dragonfly - Fern and it arrived ever so beautiful in a keepsake gift box. In fact, I still have the box. I like it that much. Oh this review isn't about the box?

Oops! It's pretty though, isn't it?



Ok, now on to the candle. Don't mind me, I get sidetracked too easily. First of all, I love the dragonflies all over it. They are just too cute! The candle looks great alone or on a cute little holder. Since it's already decorated, both options work great. They burn great and are pretty long lasting. I've burned for about 5 hours and have barely put a dent in the candle.

Black & Light offers a variety of lovely decorative candles. They even have ones with butterflies, which I was so tempted to get! Next time, for sure!

Buy It!

You can buy the 6" Dragonfly - Fern candle for $34 which includes the gift box.
