Red, White and Blue!

Independence Day is just over a week away. That means backyard barbecues, picnics, parades and of course fireworks! How will you be celebrating the holiday? We’ll probably just grill some burgers or steaks on the grill.

I remember as a young girl watching the scout troops, police cars, fire trucks and the school bands march by in a long parade, the drummers drumming and the baton girls twirling their batons, tossing them up and catching them again. After that we’d go home or to a park and have a BBQ with chicken, hot dogs, burgers, salads, corn on the cob and various snacks. The kids would have soda and cool aid and the adults would have beer. Those were fun days!

This year my husband and I will probably just grill some burgers or steaks and have a few beers. He enjoys a bottle of wine once in awhile and considering how hot it’s been lately he’ll probably get some cabernet blanc or pinot noir, two of his favorites. Our children are grown now with kids of their own. I imagine they’ll our daughters will get together for grilling and take the kids to see fireworks somewhere. We used to watch them every year, but for the last two years our small town hasn’t been able to afford it. Of course we can always count on a neighbor or two to set some off.

Since we’re talking about the 4^th of July let me tell you about the newest addition to our Freedom Collection of candles. The 4^th of July was inspired national anthem and is a specially designed 3-layered red, white and blue candle with a label honoring those patriots who fought in the War of 1812. It is a symbol of strength, honor and determination. One our countries best selling colognes, Ralph Lauren’s Polo was used to create a new, masculine fragrance. It has a refreshing blend of leather, patchouli and tobacco with hints of spiced herbs. Every breath you take of this scent will energize you!

We’re glad to add this wonderful scent to our Freedom Collection, joining the American Dream, American Strong and the American Pride candles. Why not take a look at all four of them now? Enjoy!

How Super is Your Dad?

Fathers Day is approaching. In fact it’s just over a week away, on Sunday June 21^st. It’s that special day when you can express the appreciation for all the special times you’ve spent with your father, all the time he’s taken to help prepare you for the world and all the times he’s appreciated watching you grow. Perhaps he’s even watched you walk down the aisle and into someone else’s life. Speaking of marriage, do you and your husband have children? What a special day to show your appreciation for the attention he’s given to your children.

What do you plan on giving the special man in your life? Perhaps it’ll be a nice Polo or golf shirt. Is he an avid fisherman? Maybe he’s been looking at a new rod and reel. Please, please don’t give him another tie that’ll sit in his drawer or closet. Why not give him something different this year. Most people don’t realize that many men do like to receive flowers or candles. These are two things that men appreciate but don’t usually buy for themselves. Trust me. They like getting them as a surprise gift.

Let me tell you about a new scent created just for this occasion. It’s called the ‘Super Dad’ candle by Jewelry in Candles. This isn’t just a new scent; it’s a celebration of Fathers! As with all of our candles, each one comes with a piece of jewelry inside that you choose. Here’s where the Super Dad candle differs. The jewelry in this candle is premium quality stainless steel, titanium or better! Plus, you can choose a bracelet, necklace or even special biker pendants, chains or rings showcasing the ‘rider’ lifestyle with the use of emblems bones and other symbolism.

The masculine fragrance is sure to please him too. Top notes of lemon, lime and bergamot lead into a center of jasmine, lavender and pepper and it finishes with hints of leather and clean musk. This irresistible fragrance will be perfect for that ‘Super’ man in your life! Why not take alook now? While you’re there check out our other fragrances created especially for men, such as Leather, ‘The Gentleman’, ‘Dashing’ and more!

Have a great day!
