I have never had much luck with the Beanpod candles although they smell amazing when I jam my nose in the jar 
What is a good candle brand?

Dana - do you have any sort of catalog with the scents? I'm interested!
I have a list to buy the febreeze ones and the arm & hammer spray in the mean time. I am desperate to make this place smell good! |

I will sometime this week! I just signed up today but the warehouse is literally five minutes away so hopefully they ship on Monday or Tuesday and I'll
have them on Wednesday. PM me your address and I'll send you one as soon as I get them in. They really are awesome. Because they are based here a lot of
people are familiar with them so I've been asking around and everyone says "OMG I LOVE THOSE." They sell themselves!
There's an interactive catalog online if you want something immediately, though: http://www.goldcanyon.com/Catalog/tabid/68/Default.aspx And then click on "view online catalog" (obviously). My personal website isn't up yet (hopefully it will be within 24 hours) but I'll let you know when it is. I don't want to post it here because it's going to have my mom's last name and phone number and you know how JJB is.
Word is they are going to do a complete website redesign on September 1st to make it much easier to navigate, so that should be good. It does kind of suck right now. I can't wait to see what they do with it. |

If you don't mind splurging a little, Diptyque candles are amazing. A little cheaper but also
good, L'Occitane.

Yankee mostly. Pier 1 has some nice scents but they're kinda meh. I loooove Jo Malone candles. So expensive, though.

I came in here to say Yankee Candle too.
Seriously, the best candles I've ever used and worth every penny.

I usually make my own because that way, I can add as much scent as I want to. lol.
But as for things you can buy in the store, try Candle-Lite. I've only ever tried the black cherry but I love it. Nice strong throw to it. http://candle-lite.com/ But if you want something to actually get rid of a smell, you're more than likely going to have to go around spraying things with Febreeze or something that will get the smell out of the fabric and off the walls and etc etc. Febreeze also makes a candle that will help get rid of linger smells instead of just covering them up. |

Lots of stuff! It depends on how much you sell. Do you want to host one? I don't know how that would work since I can't be at your party to demo the
stuff, but if you just want to get a bunch of friends together and do the selling (LOL) and place one big order it would be totally fine. If you did it through
me you could have it shipped straight to your house, you'd just have to distribute it all to your friends. But it'd be fun going through all of their
stuff and smelling it.
That's one of the things I'm looking forward to.
They have specials every month in addition to the base rewards. Like in September, if you have a party and sell $550 you (as the hose) get a free baking line candle ($17.98) AND any 16 oz Heritage candle for $4.00 (that's 75% off). And the base rewards on $550 would be $80 in product and 2 items at 50% off. Oh plus the other special in September is if you have a second $550 party by November 30th you'll earn a bonus Pod Warmer ($29.98 value) in addition to your Sept/Oct/Nov (whichever month the second party is) rewards. It's pretty awesome. But you don't have to sell $550, that's just the amount this month to get the extra goods. If you only sell $150 (to $249) you get $20 in product. $250-$399 is $40 in product and one item at 50% off. It goes up from there. I was going to PM you later today anyways! We're up and running and the website is working. I'm trying to make a few changes to the cheesy form website but I don't want to go too crazy. I'll PM you right now! |
