"I STRAIGHT UP FLIPPED MY WIG WHEN I FOUND OUT HOW CHEAP IT WAS TO
MAKE MY OWN GOURMET SCENTED CANDLES!"
NEVER AGAIN WILL I PAY $3 FOR A LITTLE VOTIVE CANDLE THAT I WAS
FORCED TO BUY BY THE DOZEN!
AND THEN PAY OUTRAGEOUS SHIPPING & HANDLING ON TOP OF IT FOR A
FRAGRANCE I MAY NOT EVEN LIKE!
Dear Candle Lovers,
Not long ago I belonged to some "Candle of the Month" program just
to get their gourmet scented candles. Each and every month I'd get a
new fragrance delivered right to my door. Those candles were to DIE
for. The scent throw filled an entire room with fragrance and that was
without even lighting the darn things! I'd light one up in the living
room and within minutes I could smell it all the way down the hallway
and into the bedrooms. I'd always get comments on how nice my house
smelled.
The beautiful crystal patterns of the wax were so unique, something
not seen in plain old paraffin or soy candles. Unlike other candles
that tunnel a hole down through the middle when burned, those gourmet
scented candles created a beautiful wax pool that released every drop
of fragrance. There was never any wasted wax.
But for crying out loud, it was costing me over $50 a month for
membership! Hey, don't get me wrong, the products were good, but so
horribly over-priced. Plus, it was a waste of money if I didn't like
the fragrance that month. I had to blow the flame out on that deal and
told them NO MORE!
Long story short, I figured out how to make my OWN gourmet scented
candles - just like those expensive ones. I'll let you in on a little
secret, IT AIN'T ROCKET SCIENCE! Here, take a look and see how your
own candles will compare to theirs.

And here's the best part. I was able to buy all the equipment I
needed for right around what I was paying for one month in the that
Candle of the Month program!
HOW MANY TIMES HAS THIS HAPPENED TO YOU?
*
Have you ever bought a candle that smelled great in the store, but
when you brought it home and lit it you found out only the outside
layer of wax was scented because it was dipped? What a rip off!
*
That expensive candle from a fancy boutique at the mall was
heavenly, but couldn't smell a thing when you lit it? It happens all
the time due to inferior fragrance oils, skimping on fragrance, or
using wax that can't possibly hold any significant amount of
fragrance. Waxes are not all the same and not all wax can hold a high
scent load!
*
You may not see it after just a few times, but after months of
burning petroleum-based candles soon your walls and ceiling will be
covered in black soot. Don't believe me? Wash a section and find out.
Better yet, don't wash it or you end up having to wash the entire room
because now you'll have a clean spot in the middle of a dirty wall!
That doesn't happen with the candles I make.
*
And my #1 pet peeve, those candles that tunnel straight down the
middle and won't burn anymore because the wick can't get enough
oxygen. What a waste of wax. That just burns me!
COMPETITIVE PRICE COMPARISON
I did an ounce per ounce comparison of votive candles from Mia
Bella, Gold Canyon and mine. My candle factors in wax, fragrance, dye,
and a wick. My price may vary slightly from batch to batch, depending
upon the materials suppliers used, but this is a VERY REALISTIC price
comparison. If anything, my pricing is on the conservatively high end.
Check out the difference.
Mia Bella
Gold Canyon
Mine
2.0 oz votive
1.6 oz votive
2.0 oz votive
$3.00
$1.87
.37
$1.50/ oz
$1.17/oz
.19/oz
WOW! Look at the markup on those votives! I can make over eight,
YES, EIGHT votives for the price of one Mia Bella candle. And if I
shop a little more wisely for materials, I could get that .19/oz price
even lower.
Now do you understand why I started making my own candles?
Well, let me just cut to the chase. It is so amazingly cheap and
easy to make your own gourmet scented candles that I wrote...

Scented candles make great fundraisers, too. Do you have kids in
school holding car washes to raise money for various school programs
and projects? Here's an idea, while parents stand around waiting for
their cars to be washed, they could be cruising a table filled with
your gourmet scented candles instead. That Saturday afternoon car wash
could very easily double, maybe even triple its profits. Just get
those candles under their noses and they'll be whipping out their
wallets.
Don't wait another minute. Order right now and start making your
own gourmet scented candles for less in the fragrances YOU like.
But WAIT! I've got a free gift for you if you order now.
