    Want the candle…don’t want son to spend $59 on a candle that will probably make my husband sneeze…but I do love the idea of it! And the other stuff here sounds lovely as well – hey, can you buy yourself a Mothers’ Day present? Why not?

    The candle sounds wonderful. It has all my favourite notes and the rhubarb and black fig notes probably give it depth. I wish I could smell it. I was comtemplating on whether to buy or not a Frederic Malle Un Gardenia, la nuit candle, but this one sounds good and is less expensive.

    Luckily, I live near a place that grows lavender and they make all kinds of great products on site. Not too expensive either. So, after I buy myself a lot of goodies, I may get some for my mom:). lol.

    A couple of months ago, I brought home two rescue kitties. I’m not sure yet what they’re getting me for M-Day… but I hope it’s fabulous!
