I have a few weaknesses, one of them is scented candles. I am a scent woman—always have been. I associate smells with people and memories which is why I always choose the same scents all the time. I am sure many of you do the same. What are my favorite candle scents? I love Clean Cotton by Yankee Candle, and GAP used to put out a SUPER STRONG “Christmas” scented candle which I didn’t see last year, but luckily I still have three left over that I purchased on the cheap after Christmas. =)
I love a strong scented candle; one that doesn’t even have to be lit for you to be able to smell it when you enter a room. I can now add a new company to my favorites list: Gold Canyon. Gold Canyon has MUST HAVE scented candles. Maria Duran is a representative of Gold Canyon Candles and she was nice enough to send me two scents to try. She asked me to pick two scents to try so I picked Cozy Christmas (shock right? lol) and I decided to live on the edge and request a scent that I don’t already have: Sugar Cookie. I am now sitting here with laptop on my kitchen table, watching my two boys color in the their coloring books as I write this review with my fragrant Sugar Cookie Gold Canyon Candle sweetening the air. DELICIOUSLY scented, this candle is making me want something sweet right now. It smells like I just baked in here. My sons kept shoving their little noses in the jar and pretending to faint because it was so “yummy”. I am saving the Cozy Christmas for the holidays but just leaving the box on the counter leaves a scent that I can enjoy. I can’t wait to light them for the holidays.
You MUST TRY this brand of candles if you haven’t already done so. They are so fragrant and offer a very large assortment of sizes, and scents. Gold Canyon offers tea lights, votives, jars and pillars, plus lots of holders for everyday use and for special ocasions too. Their Halloween collection is adorable and their Christmas collection is so festive. At Gold Canyon, you will find many candle options to choose from that won’t break the bank. They even have bath and body options and cleaning products too. I would love to try it all!
Take a look at some of these holiday options which are very reasonably priced:


Oh BOY I could go CRAZY for the holidays decorating my home with Gold Canyon Candles! Couldn’t you?

I’m a fan on facebook and have been reading your blog for a few months now. Always enjoy it. The candles look absolutely beautiful and I could certainly use the Cinnamon Vanilla scent in my kitchen. Though the pumpkin pie scent also piqued my interest. Keep up the good work!

I’m having a little bit of trouble viewing your site in Opera, but it may just be my computer. Apart from that, I love your site. I plan on browsing around and checking out some more posts!
