Swan Creek Ginger Nectarine Candle Review from Old Stable Store

6 / 4 / 156 / 3 / 15

So I’ve had a few Swan Creek Candles sent to me from our buddies at the Old Stable Store; Spiced Orange & Cinnamon, Gingerbread and Mulberry & Mandarin, I would rate all of them quite highly and have become a huge fan of Swan Creek products since trying them. I would’ve thought that Gingerbread was my favourite out of all of them and that it would be very hard to top that scent, but then Ben sent me Ginger Nectarine! Read More

Rosy Rings Candles & Home Fragrance

Today we’re joined by our friends from Old Stable for a guest blog.
They’re here to tell us all about a fabulous brand that we have yet to try but now really, really want to. – Sam

There’s scented candles, and then there’s scented candles. Rosy Rings candles are definitely the latter – an American brand started in a Colorado basement, this company is all about quality first. Their candles are still handmade as they were originally, rather than machine-poured as many these days are and have a strong focus on the use of natural ingredients – many of the products contain fragments of shell, cones or flower that add to the presentation as well as the fragrance.

Mmmm Man Candles!

At this stage, when it comes to candles in our homes, we should be basically charging the candles rent because they now take up whole rooms. It was once just a couple shelves, then it turned into a couple closets pretty soon we’ll be needing candle houses! But luckily the men in our lives have stopped asking “is that more candles?!” and have learned to live with them and our addiction, which sometimes they feed, you know cause we’re so cute and bat our eyelashes at them.

But we still feel the need to convince our men that candles are a necessity in life. I think we hope that maybe they’ll become hooked too and buy MORE CANDLES for us to have enjoy together. 😀

Man candles or “mandles” are the perfect excuse to get them to buy candles or for ya know, spontaneous romantic gifts that we say are for them but are really for us. Tee hee hee.

Here are some of our favourite mandles… Read More
