A Candle that is Good Enough to (almost) Eat.

/

I am obsessed with Peppermint Bark. The way, it looks. The way it smells. The way it... I have never tasted it. Because I suffer from migraine headaches and chocolate being one of its' triggers, I do not eat anything chocolate. So when I read about this Peppermint Bark Candle made for Godiva, my eyes opened wide.

How pretty would this candle look in my home? It would obviously look beautiful. Even more, how delicious would this smell burning in my home?

Inspired by hand-made Peppermint Bark, this candle features both fine dark and white chocolate  married together with Madagascar bourbon vanilla, with the essence of crushed peppermint. It must smell divine.

Did I mention this candle was created by Godiva? This scented candle is the brand’s first foray into the home fragrance category in its over 80 year history. Led by Laura Slatkin, CEO of Candela Group, the Godiva Home Fragrance Collection was developed by combining the talents of the fragrance industry’s master perfumers with the expertise of Godiva’s master chef chocolatiers.

This inaugural creation is available at Neiman Marcus for $22.50. Maybe it will just satisfy my peppermint bark craving after all.

Great Girlie Gifts from FLIRT! at Kohls.

/

My daughter has already gotten into the spirit of exchanging gifts with a few of her friends. They actually do a gift exchange between about 30 girls where they draw secret Santa names and exchange small priced gifts for 3 days. What is really fun is that they don't let each other know who the giver is until the final day - though many of them figure it out before then.

This year Caci picked out a few gifts from Kohl's, and being a girl after my own heart, she selected these beauties from our favorite FLIRT!.

Lip Wishes Gift Set - $14.99

This great little set which would look adorable hung on a tree, contains three SQUEEZE ME super shiny lip glosses in the following shades: Radical Raspberry, Pink Champagne & Zippy Ginger.

Nail Wishes Gift Set - $14.99

This limited edition set of six polishes comes perfectly gift boxed and ready to give. The set features an array of shades from light to dark, in all very popular colors.

Eyeshadow Set - $29.99

This is another blockbuster set that I actually featured last year as a Holiday giveaway. This features 40 beautiful eyeshadow shades to wear however you like. This is perfect for a teen as they can experiment with color on end.

I have these listed at full retail price, but with all of the great sales and coupons and extra savings discounts at Kohl's, you will more than likely pay much less. We paid about $9 each for the lip and nail set, and around $15 for the set of eyeshadows.
