Gold Canyon Candles
"A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle..."
As an independent demonstrator for Gold Canyon candles, my opinion might seem a bit biased, but I do have to say that I love them!! They are fantastic! Even if I decided to stop selling these wonderful candles I'd still have to buy them. It seems like they burn forever, and the scent holds strong all the way through. My favorite part is that they last all way to the bottom. When your finished there is barely enough wax left to cover the little metal piece that holds the wicks in place. If you haven't tried these candles yet then you're really missing out. :)
If I was doing a review for these candles I would definitely give them 5 stars LOL

New Scent Blending Recipe: Christmas Kitchen
Scent Blending Recipes are carefully selected recipes of individual candles that when burning together, create their own unique, blended scent experience.
To maximize your fragrant experience, use the exact sizes and quantities noted in each recipe ? a slight alteration can be like adding salt when you needed sugar.
FIRST: Arrange the candles on a heat-safe surface with the largest in the middle and smaller candles interspersed throughout. For votive and Tealight candles, use a holder to protect the surface.
SECOND: Place each candle approximately two inches apart in your arrangement.
THIRD: Light each candle and let the aromas mingle for at least 30 minutes to create your new fragrance experience.
