Godiva Chocolate Strawberry Rose Scented Candle

The days leading up to Valentine’s Day are among my favorite times of year. I love to redecorate my living space with colors of passion and scents of love and have even been known to theme my makeup looks around the season. Thus, I am doing a mini marathon of love-themed product reviews to get you excited about what this month may hold for you in terms of passion, friendships, and self-pampering!

For some home or office deliciousness, add a fragrant candle to the mix that reminds you of love. Right now I’m loving Godiva Chocolate Strawberry Rose Candle (a Godiva Valentine Candle). It will scent your space without even having to light it! Chocolate Strawberry Rose Candle smells just as it sounds — a delicious medley of warm, chocolate-dipped strawberries and a sweet bouquet of roses. The sensory indulgence is just enough to keep you in a sweet mood.

You’d think the continuous smell of chocolate would get your taste buds stirring, but actually, the strawberry scent provides a nice balancing act, as strawberry is a natural appetite suppressant. Lovely!

The burn time for this 7oz candle is 50 hours. You can order Godiva Chocolate Strawberry Rose Candle for $22.50 at CandleLuxury.com.

Alice: Never Run Out of Household Items Again

I’ve been meaning to conjure up a post for the past few days about how delighted I am to have found Alice (which was introduced to me by the lovely Wendy).

Alice is every woman’s dream. I mean, unless you like to run out to the store for toiletries every time they run out. Now, you can purchase all your toiletries, vitamins, cleaning supplies, and other household items online for CHEAP and have them shipped for free!

• Alice can remind you when you are low on products.
• Alice will help you budget your household item purchases.
• Alice has something for every room in the house.
• Alice will auto-ship your items, if you choose, so that you won’t have to remember to re-order.

Below are some screenshots of just some of the products available through Alice:

Needless to say, I’m loving this site! You can join, too, and receive a $10 credit with your first $50 purchase:

HoMedics Restore Clean Water System for Purer Drinking Water

I can’t be bothered with crowded gyms or diet pills, so to kick off my “fit body” resolution for the year, I decided to drink more water.

It’s easily forgotten how drinking copious amounts of water (up to 100 ounces per day) can do for your body: feeling better-rested, more energized, heightened mental focus, less water retention, and so much more.

Being that tap water leaves a bitter taste in my palate and bottled water seems so wasteful, an at-home water filtering and purification system is ideal. I use HoMedics Restore Clean Water System.

Relax & Unwind With HoMedics Shiatsu Massage Pillow

Often, on Mondays I’m already thinking of Friday as I glance at my to-do list for the week. I know that for me, Friday evenings mean — ideally — having fulfilled all my to-do’s for the week and being able to unwind for the weekend. I’m talking taking a break from work and the computer to chill at home with a good book, perhaps a glass of wine, and a good back or neck massage for added relaxation. Since I don’t yet invest in professional massages, a home massage option is suitable for my lifestyle.
