New to Candles and New to Candlefind

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Tiffany Kim and I'm rather new to the world of scented candles. I actually stumbled across Candlefind because I was doing a bit of shopping for Mother's Day. Mom really loves her Yankee candles, and though I think they are scented well, I find them to be a bit out of my college student's strapped price range! ;) Also, being blind and unable to drive around means I do most of my shopping online.

 

When I came upon Candlefind, I was amazed (make that awestruck!) by the sheer number of companies, most of which I had never heard of. I began browsing the reviews and realized that there was a vast world of candles to explore and an even wider array of scents. With luck, I will pass my comprehensive exams this May, land a job, and have more coinage to start spending on candles. I think exploring the miriad of scented candles out there will give Mom and I a chance for some mother-daughter bonding.

 

Besides candles, I enjoy reading (culinary cozies are my favorites right now), playing the guitar, writing, and singing karaoke. I live in Southern California with Mom, Dad, and a lovely black Labrador named Lara. I have two younger sisters but they live elsewhere. Anyway, great to be here and I hope I will enjoy this aromatic adventure.

Thank you for such a warm welcome! I've been reading the reviews on this forum and have really been getting a kick out of discovering new companies. The next step will be whipping out my pocketbook. :)

 

I understand Candlefind also has a sister site for bath and body products. I'm almost afraid to check that out because I enjoy bath products immensely. A warm bubble bath is one of my greatest indulgences, lol, so I'm sure I would end up browsing that site for hours. Thanks again and I'm looking forward to discussing candles with you.

Thanks so much. For the most part, Mom and I do share similar scents. She's partial to lilac, which I also enjoy. Where we differ is that she prefers floral and clean scents, whereas I enjoy a good fruit (peach, grapefruit, and Piña colada) and love vanilla (which she despises). With so many companies to try out, I think it could take many months (or perhaps years) to even test out lilac. :D

 

I'm thinking that perhaps tarts would be a good way to go. I wasn't planning on burning tarts. (I always thought they cost more than candles in the long-term), but I've heard they are more potent and are a good way to review many chandlers at a time.
