up & up French Vanilla Odor Eliminator Candle from Target

Target has a line of products called up & up. These are their store-brand products that are significantly less expensive than name-brand products. They make assorted items such as bath and beauty products and home products. I bought this up & up French Vanilla Odor Eliminator Candle a few weeks ago. It is non-toxic and made of soy wax. It is long-burning (lasts for approximately 65-80 hours). This candle smells great! It reminds me of vanilla frosting or cookies. It burns evenly and is very high quality. It is just as good as name brand candles that cost 3 times the price. up & up makes this candle in a few other scents, one is called spring bouquet and the other one is some type of cinnamon candle. These candles are a great deal at a great price. These would make a nice housewarming gift. You can buy a 14 oz. up & up Odor Eliminator Candle from Target for only $4.99.

Bodycology Coconut Lime Body Mist

Bodycology Coconut Lime Body Mist

Bodycology Body Mists can be found at most drug and retail stores for less than $5.00. There are many refreshing scents such as Brown Sugar Vanilla, Cucumber Melon, and Apple Orchard. My favorite scent that I have tried is called Coconut Lime.  These body sprays are long lasting and smell great. Bodycology also makes other products such as lotion and handsoap. The trial size bottles cost less than $3.00 and would make a great stocking stuffer.

Method Home Aroma Soy Candle

Method Soy Candle

Method Home Aroma Soy Candles smell great. They are non-toxic and produce less soot than paraffin candles.  They come in a variety of great scents. I recommend the Gingerbread Spice, Peppermint Vanilla, and Vanilla Apple scents. These candles come in either a clear glass container or a white ceramic container. I feel that the shape of the white ceramic container helps the candle burn more evenly than the clear glass containers do.  You can also reuse the white ceramic container for a toothbrush or pen holder, or as a plant pot. These candles also make a great gift. They cost about $7.00 and can be found at some retail and organic stores.

Glade PlugIn Scented Oil Warmer

Glade PlugIn

The Glade PlugIn Scented Oil Warmer will make your home or office smell great. There are many wonderful scents of oil to choose from and they last for around 30 days. I recommend Vanilla Breeze, Hawaiian Breeze, Clean Linen, and Apple Cinnamon scents. Some of the PlugIns come with a built-in nightlight that turns on automatically when it is dark. The Glade Scented Oil Warmer costs about $3.00 and the Scented Oil Refills cost about $3.00 each.  They can be purchased at most drug, grocery, and retail stores.

Honeycrisp Apples

HoneyCrispApple

 

Honeycrisp apples are the best apples that I have ever tasted! They are not very well known but are gaining in popularity. They are a hybird of Honeygold and Macoun apples. Honeycrisp apples are tart, sweet, juicy, and crunchy. My favorite part about them is the crunchy texture.  The harvest season is usually mid September to mid October. Honeycrisp apples are grown mostly in cold climates and they are the official state fruit of Minnesota. They can be found at some grocery stores for around $2.00 per pound.
