Air Wick Announces NEW Life Scents Collection! Constantly Changing Fragrances!

airwick all

Disclosure: This is not a sponsored post.

Have you heard? Air Wick is once again changing the home fragrance category with their NEW Air Wick Life ScentsTM Collection. This first of its kind collection features new scent technology with constantly changing fragrances crafted to mimic real life experience.

Air Wick® to Recreate Real Life Experiences with New Life ScentsTM Collection Constantly Changing Fragrances Help You Say What You Want to Say About Your Home

Unlike other home fragrances which feature only one scent, each scent uses patent-pending technology with three distinct fragrance notes that are easily experienced alone but also work together to provide one harmonious multi-dimensional experience which evokes unique, personal memories.

RB’s Air Wick® brand is introducing a first of its kind Life Scents collection, a collection of constantly changing fragrances that help us say what we want to say about their homes. The Life Scents collection features patent-pending technology that allows us to experience multi-dimensional fragrances at home.

Unlike ordinary home fragrances, Air Wick’s Life Scents collection is crafted to mimic real life experiences. Only Life Scents fragrances deliver a constantly changing, multi-dimensional experience of singular scent accords. Each Life Scents fragrance contains three distinct fragrance accords that are easily experienced on its own, however the notes also work together to provide one harmonious, multi-dimensional experience that evokes unique, personal memories.

“We wanted to create something that was truly innovative and new to the air care category,” said Tiffany McLaud, Air Wick Marketing Director. “The story your home tells is an important one and we wanted to provide consumers with a fragrance technology that helps to curate and personalize that story.”

How It Works: With their new Mom’s Baking fragrance, one person may smell vanilla first while another will immediately smell the scent of a homemade pie crust or a layer of baked pear.

Air Wick has also launched its Scent Decorator, a new tool designed to promote self-expression in the home.

Both the Everyday and Spring collections are available in Scented Oils and Freshmatic Automatic Spray Refills in the following scents:

Make Your Thanksgiving Feast a Little Bit Brighter

   thanks

     Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Edible Arrangements, all opinions are my own.

Transition your Thanksgiving table with festive yet edible centerpieces. Most of your guests will arrive before the food is done, so give them something to nibble on while they wait. You’ll want the table to look pretty, so why not add in a centerpiece that’s beautiful AND practical as well?

                 Autumn Swizzle Party™ Dipped Strawberries

Edible Arrangements has the perfect go-to Thanksgiving centerpieces in a variety of prices, so there’s something for everyone. They have baskets filled with a cornucopia of fruit and chocolate that the whole family will enjoy! The beautifully arranged fruit dipped chocolate is fresh, delightful, and looks so much better as a centerpiece than flowers do.

                     Delicious Party®  Dipped Fruit Delight

Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be stuffy or strictly proper. Remember it’s a day to spend with the ones you love and giving thanks. It should be fun and inviting, and your guests will appreciate all that you’ve done. It doesn’t matter if your Thanksgiving festivities are formal, modern, or traditional- Edible Arrangements will fit in any scheme of decor. These are just as useful as they are delicious.

Thanksgivings # 1 Centerpiece

I love that they combine harvest-hued colors mixed with chocolate leaves & a variety of fruit. Thanksgiving decoration ideas are just as bountiful as the thanks we are giving this season. You can combine an edible arrangement with traditional autumn decorations, like faux-painted pumpkins and colorful fall leaves.


                   Touchdown Delight™  Dipped Apples
Does your family enjoy sitting around watching Football while they eat? Do you already have some football decorations already in place for the big day? Why not add to it with this amazing Touchdown Delight Edible Arrangements piece?

Delicious Celebration®  Dipped Strawberries & Pineapple

These arrangements would also make amazing centerpieces for the kids tables. You know they’re always trying to sneak into the snacks before eating time, so let them. Give them the option of nibbling on something healthy while they wait for the Turkey and sides to be completed. They’ll love it and it won’t ruin their dinner.

Premier Apple Fruit Truffles®

Even if you aren’t the one hosting the dinner this year, bring a gift. Hostess Gifts are much appreciated. When someone invites you to their home to celebrate with them; whether family or friend show your appreciation. You could bring something for just the hostess, such as the picture above. Or you could give a full centerpiece that all the guests could enjoy, your call.

Diamond Candles Candy Corn #Fall Candle

diamond 
Disclosure: I was provided a candle to review, all opinions are honest and completely my own.

Fall is here, and Halloween is right around the corner. When I think of Fall and Halloween, Candy Corn is definitely at the top of that list. I LOVE the smell (and taste) of Candy Corn, so I was super excited to get the Diamond Candle Candy Corn Candle
.

               candle

“Nothing announces the arrival of fall like the bright packages of candy corn spilling off store shelves. Fill your home with this sweet delight while you debate the proper way to eat candy corn: devour by each color layer or by the handful.”

It comes packaged very well for shipping, so there aren’t any worries that your candle is going to arrive broken or in a messy state. Diamond Candles wrap their candles in a cardboard insert that fits the candle perfectly and then bubble wrapped as well. Even the cardboard insert is 100% recyclable and biodegradable. Good to know they care about the environment! WIN for Diamond Candles!

The candles are made of high quality soy that is very fragrant and eco-friendly. The burn time for each candle is about 120 hours, and doesn’t let off soot like other candles. Plus the exciting “what kind of ring is in there?” reveal adds to the awesomeness as well.It’s like playing the candle lottery, who doesn’t want a chance to win a diamond ring? Plus, there are SO many fragrances to choose from, who could resist?

The candle smells absolutely amazing. Open a box of candy corn and get that whiff, that’s exactly what this candle smells like. It works amazing in smaller spaces, such as a bedroom, dining room, or bathroom. Larger spaces such as kitchen/dining room is too much space for one candle to circulate the fragrance, but 2 would definitely do the trick.

aluminum foil platic bag

The sticker placed on the outside of the candle, shows you exactly where the ring is inside the candle. The ring is placed in a small plastic baggy and then wrapped extremely tight with aluminum foil. Each candle contains a ring worth $10, $100, $500, or $1000. The rings are sized 6-8, the most common ring sizes.

diamond candles ring

My ring was kind of at the top, so it only took about 2 burning hours to reach it. I pulled it out with tweezers, and wiped the foil with a towel to get the wax off. The ring I got is very gorgeous, and is uniquely designed. I love it, although it isn’t one of the higher priced rings.

ring on

The only reason I know is because I am allergic to anything that isn’t real silver or gold. If I wear jewelry that isn’t real for very long, it breaks me out. I’m pretty sure it’s the nickel I’m allergic to. I can wear it for about 10 hours before my finger starts itching, so it’s great for wearing for a date night or something, I just can’t keep it on for long periods.

There isn’t a chance of you buying 2 rings and getting the same ring inside the candles. Diamond Candles does an amazing job of mixing it up. I’ve gotten 3 candles and each one was different and unique. So, go for it. You can search Diamond Candle coupon on Google and get $5 off and shipping on ANY candle is only $5. They have tons of sales, so most of the time you’ll only be paying $15 for a candle. That’s a win!

Which is your favorite scent from the Diamond Candles line?

I’m trying not to want to eat this one, haha.

Air Wick National Park 2014 Fall Fragrance #Review #AutumnOasis

Airwick
*I received free product samples in order to do this review. There was no compensation. The opinions expressed are my own and not influenced in any way. 


Just in time for fall, Air Wick has continued their partnership with the National Parks Foundation for their second fall National Park Collection. With five scents inspired by our National Parks, this collection includes three scents that were chosen and voted on by consumers as their favorite National Park Scent through Air Wick’s Facebook contest last fall—Great Smoky Mountains, Shenendoah and Acadia. This collection will also include two brand new scents inspired by the essences of Isle Royale and Cuyahoga Valley.

Although my favorite season is Summer, Autumn definitely gets second. I love the cool crisp days that bring crunchy colorful leaves. I love the bonfires, hoodies, and any reason to wear my boots. I love the fact that Halloween and Thanksgiving are right around the corner, and Football season is here. I also love the scents that are associated with fall.


The National Park fragrances that I received include:

  • Acadia – Sweet Vanilla & Pumpkins
Sweet Vanilla & Pumpkins
20140730_141337
Bring the magnificence of Acadia National Park to life with it's rich blend of sandalwood, vanilla and creamy pumpkin.
*I absolutely fell in love with this scent. I love the smell of pumpkins but most candles and scents mix spice in to make “Spiced Pumpkin”. Air Wick has given me exactly what I wanted in a fall fragrance. I swear this smells just like a fresh baked Pumpkin Pie mixed with a hint of sweet vanilla.

It has such a warm and inviting scent that is perfect for the fall season. It gently releases it’s pumpkin/vanilla scent so that it isn’t overpowering. It is a subtle sweet scent that has gotten me many compliments on how amazing my house smells.Warm scents actually invite people in to your home because it draws them in with the comfy atmosphere.
Two thumbs up!

  • Shenandoah – Apple Harvest
 20140730_141337
Apple Harvest & Cinnamon Spice
The aroma of the ripening apple harvest combines with cedarwood and cinnamon spice to inspire rich memories of the fall in Shenandoah National Park.

*I love this. Apples and fall always go together for some reason. It’s a mixture of all the things we use apples for in the fall. Apple pies. apple cider, bobbing for apples, and candy apples. I love that this is more apple and less spice. It does have a subtle hint of cedarwood, which is what helps it smell like a real apple harvest.

It kind of has that crispness we associate with fall. I don’t know if it reminds me of apple picking and  crunchy leaves or what. Psst… and did you know that the cinnamon scent boosts brain power and learning ability? Another win/win.


  • Cuyahoga Valley - Sweet Pear & Amber Woods
Cuyahoga Valley
20140730_141325
Indulge in Cuyahoga Valley's lush orchards with fresh picked sweet pears ripened by the fall amber woods and complemented by touches of warm cinnamon and nutmeg.

*This is my absolute favorite out of the 3 scents, although it was hard to choose. This one just draws me in. The sweet sugared pear smell mixed with amber, cinnamon, and nutmeg is just amazing. I’ve never smelled an in-home scent like this before. It’s got the warm and inviting intrigue yet it’s also crisp and sweet.

I love the fact that you can smell the spices but they aren’t overwhelming. The spices kind of take a back stance to the sweetened pears, which is also why it’s my favorite. Nutmeg is also an amazing stress reliever when used in candles and essential oils.

Air Wick’s National Park Collection of fragrances for fall are available as scented-oil refills, freshmatic spray refills and NEW wax melts at retailers nationwide for $3.00-$4.99.

How To Select The Best Office Chairs

image

An office chair is something that most people take for granted. In fact if you asked most people about what kind of office chair they have, they will look at you with a blank expression. It's the same kind of question as what kind of gas do you put into your car. People just generally don't know. If it's served at a forecourt and it goes inside the car they will fill up and drive off. Same goes for office furniture, especially chairs. In most companies the phrase “cheapest is best” comes to mind. But of course this is a false economy. Most people work at least 7 to 8 hour days, and at least 6 of those hours are sat in a chair. I you have an office job. So it is very important, in fact it is imperative that you have good office chairs. Anything less is a disservice to yourself and to your people as a whole. Having said that they don't have to be super expensive, you can get all sorts of chairs for the home office or the office environment.

1: Classic Simple

Simple un-cushioned plastic chairs which are ergonomically designed to fit the human back and posterior. These chairs are best suited short use activities such as laboratories where the lab assistant will be sitting for 20 to 30 minutes per time before getting up and walking around. Stores like Great Deal Furniture has chairs starting from $135 + you can receive free shipping within USA.

2: Cushioned

Cushioned chairs are usually similar in design to the plastic chairs but they have quilting or cushioning for prolonged periods of sitting. Ideal for receptionists or data input clerks or purchase or sales ledger clerks and accounts departments. Grey seems to be the usual colour as it an easy to clean colour.

3: Executive

Leather executive chairs, these chairs are usually reserved for executive management. Or people who have to sit for a long period of time. They're usually fairly expensive in comparison to the standard office chairs. But they offer that luxury and comfort only afforded by the use of the best quality materials. You can look at Sit4life collection because they have huge range of office and home chairs.

As you can see finding a good quality office chair is imperative to the health and safety of your co-workers. Moreover is it detrimental to buy cheap office chairs. They also tend to break quicker and therefore you are paying twice for an item that you could just pay for once if you bought the best quality in the first place. The range of office chairs available is as wide as the applications they are designed for. But the old maxim of “you get what you pay for” still stands whatever the office it needs to live in.

Our Favorite Flooring Choices to Improve the Look of Your Home & Not Break the Bank

image
Whether moving into a new home or upgrading the look of an existing room, flooring installation can make all the difference. Picking the best flooring can be a daunting task, especially with all of the possibilities that exist, but we hope to make flooring installation a little easier with our favorite flooring options that will greatly improve the look of your home, and not break the bank.

Carpeting

image

If you love the delightfully warm and cushiony comfort of carpet, then perhaps it’s time to see the new and exciting carpet options that exist today. Many manufacturers are creating more durable and even stain resistant carpeting. It’s important to assess how much traffic your designated room gets, before deciding if carpet is right for you. Carpet is ideal for homes with small children, as it provides comfort and cushion for those adventurous crawlers.


Hardwood
image

Timeless, elegant and beautiful, hardwood flooring is perfect to obtain an elegant appeal. Hardwood flooring is expensive though, and requires a little extra care. There are endless possibilities when it comes to choosing hardwood flooring. Visit a local Flooring America to find out what styles exist and can work in your home, or with your budget.

Laminate and Vinyl Flooring
image
Both laminate and vinyl flooring are excellent inexpensive alternatives that can resemble the look of more expensive flooring options. Laminate flooring is durable and very low maintenance, and flooring installation is a breeze.

Vinyl flooring offers a large selection of colors and patterns, and can also mimic the look of more expensive flooring options. Vinyl flooring is also durable and easy to care for.

Professional installation is still highly recommended to ensure the longevity of your floor.

Home Decor Review: City Creek Candles- Amazing Wax Melts

image
diclosure-review giveaway

Everybody that knows me knows that I am CRAZY about fragrances; candles, plug-ins, air fresheners. I want people to stop when they walk in my home and say “mmm, what’s that smell?” It’s always a nice feeling!

City Creek Candles sent me a wide variety of products, you may remember my City Creek Candles Heritage Candle Collection Review. I absolutely loved everything about the candles. They come in beautiful vase like holders, are non-toxic and smell amazing.

Well, City Creek Candles also sent me 2 warmers and a variety of the wax tarts to review as well. I wanted to break the reviews up that way you readers wouldn’t have so much information to process at the same time! Smile

Their Candle Warmers come from their sister site Candle Warmers Etc. They sell TONS of varieties of warmers. They have plug-ins, lamp style warmers, and the plate warmers. They are all so irresistible. I love the decoration ones, especially the ones that come out during the holidays! They are an amazingly simple way to add decoration to your home.

Candle warmers are amazing. If you haven’t converted at least one typical candle over to a warmer, you’re missing out. Especially, you have small kids. Flames aren’t such a great idea
They sent me a full sized warmer and a plug-in warmer.
image
They sent me their new Chevron Illumination Warmer.  This design is so unlike any other warmer I’ve ever seen. The chevron cut outs in the ceramic display a beautiful illumination. It is about as bright as a nightlight but casts a warm glow and terrific smell!



No matter what scents are put in this warmer, it REALLY puts the fragrance out there. I love that I can put this in my living room and smell it throughout the house. The low wide bowl makes it easier for the wax to melt evenly and give off more fragrance!

It heats up very quickly and yet doesn’t get too hot. I don’t have to worry that my kids are going to cause an accident or get hurt. I can use wax melts, tarts, or liquid potpourri so if you prefer one over the other—it allows you to use whatever you choose.
image
This Pebblestone Plug In Fragrance Warmer is perfect for your office or bathroom. I put this one in the hallway and want another for the bathroom. It is the perfect size for a smaller room, quickly basking the room in a light ambiance, while slowly releasing the scent.

I put some of the Escape to Paradise wax melts in this and it really smelled amazing. This plug-in works better than some bigger warmers I’ve seen. It is a pretty color and I love the designs on the outside.

We’ve all had the problem of not KNOWING whether a candle, tart, or melt will smell as great as it’s supposed to. All the wax melts they sent me smelled RIGHT on target!  There weren’t any that were overpowering or scents that were lacking that were sent!
