Scent-a-licious

i purposefully wrote that silly title just for one of my clients, because i think she'd find it amusing. julie bennett owns bistro candles, a fellow mom-owned company based in beaverton, oregon. i'm doing the pr launch of her new nouveau bistro line this month. if you don't have one of her candles in your home, stop reading this now and go to her website for store locations to find the nearest retailer and then book it over there to grab one of the heavenly creations before they sell out. no, really. go. go now!


(pause. tapping my toes to the beat of coldplay, which is a slow beat so there's not too much tapping. i'd be whistling along if my daughter weren't sleeping right next to me, sweet baby).

ok. assuming you have run to your nearest store and purchased your bistro candles, just try to not fall in love with them once you've burned them in your home. you can't do it - i know you're hooked already. they are magical, lovely, and burn beautifully. i'm a candle nut, and these are truly the best in the world. i've been to paris. i sniffed their candles. bistro candles take you there -and to other heavenly locales - for under $30.

















their new line, nouveau bistro, speaks to me. the packaging design is way cool. love the chocolate brown base (of course i do, have you seen all of the things i design?), and the bold colors that pop on the wrap arounds. they've all got little retro designs on the boxes that are embossed.

if you weren't able to find a store near you that carries them, then head to your favorite chic shop and demand that they carry bistro candles nouveau bistro line. what discerning shop owner wouldn't?

i'm smelling nectarine basil right now. yum.
