My House Smells Fabulous!

The rain has stopped, the sun is out to stay for a bit, and I have Spring Fever. Time to put up the Christmas candles and make the Sasha house smell like spring!

I recently picked up two different candles at Target to see which one I liked best.

First up is Glade Suddenly Spring, purchased for $3.14, which I believe was 50 cents off the regular price at Target.

This candle is such a pretty shade of pale green and looks great in the frosted glass. It smells light and fresh. Cons: the label is permanently attached to the glass, and the scent is very light- you almost have to "try" to smell it burning.

Next I purchased Febreze Winds & Springtime for $6.54, also at Target. I used a $1 coupon from the P&G insert to bring the price down to $5.54. (Note: I just found the same candle for $5 at Walmart, so that's $4 with a coupon.)

The glass is nice and thick and feels expensive and there is no label attached to the glass- it looks pricy! The color is the same pretty shade of pale green, but the scent is FANTASTIC and I feel bad each time I have to blow it out. This scent is stronger than the Glade, but still not overpowering. This candle wins hands down, and I'll be purchasing more since this is a limited edition.

Let me know if you have found other spring-y candles I need to try!

My favorite candles are Yankee Candles. Lilac and Sun and Sand. PRIMO for warm weather.

I am totally hooked on this cheap-o candle I got at Michael's. It was store brand, I think - but the scent is sandlewood and it is to die for!

I love the glade candles...the green IS hard to smell though. You should try the linen one...it's heavenly..makes the whole house smell so CLEAN!!!

Thanks for the candle review. Febreeze should totally send you a check. Because I'm going to buy some tomorrow! The Semi-Slacker crib needs some freshing up.
