If Oprah Can Do It, So Can I: A Few of My Favorite Things


I'm not always a brand-loyal sort of person. I don't mind using a different toothpaste or shampoo or soap. I'll switch my laundry detergent or fabric softener if there's a sale.

But there are some things I just love and want to share with others. Just talking about them makes me happy. Circle E Candles are one of those things. That's not to say I have anything against Yankee or some of the other brands. But Circle E has some of the most wonderful smells, and they fill your home with it. Besides that, they are just really well made and the jars are thick and of high quality.

It's hard to pick a favorite, but Bird of Paradise would have to be right up there. It's kind of like strawberries and cream and kind of....well, not. It's indescribable. I've purchased their sample packs before, and they are wonderful. There was only one scent that I absolutely didn't like: Lavender Fields. That was just nasty. Think old lady perfume...dumped on.

And no, I don't have any relationship with Circle E. I won't be getting any free candles (I wish!). But I figure if Oprah can tell everyone what HER favorite things are, then so can I. And possibly my list will be a little more affordable.

I love Circle E Candles too! In fact, Bird of Paradise is MY favorite. I always thought it smelled just like Coconut Hut's "Tahitian Black Coconut" scent (which is my all-time favorite Coconut Hut scent). Those Circle E candles really are awesome.
