Better Homes Candle: The Sweet Smell of Success


Mmm. Who doesn’t LOVE to come home to a yummy smelling home after the worst day ever (which seems to come around more than once in an actual ‘ever’.) I know I do! One of my favorite ways to do that (besides baking) is to light up a candle and hover over the flame for what seems like … ALL NIGHT! 


This review is on the Better Homes candle, more specifically, the Warm Vanilla Creme scent. Be sure to scroll to the bottom for concise product details. Let’s get started!



I purchased the candle from Wal*Mart, which isn’t a store I usually shop at, but on my way out I noticed an end display full of candles and if anyone is a sucker for candles – IT’S ME!! How could I just walk past shelving of jars filled with brightly colored/scented wax? I couldn’t! What’s more is that the pricing was extremely affordable, and I am talking less than $5.00 per candle. No doubt, that also made me very skeptical, as the candles I usually purchase range from $10.00 -$20.00. Anyway, back to the IMPORTANT part of the blog. My husband and I immediately started sniffing to our hearts (or noses, rather) delight! To my surprise, THEY ALL SMELLED SO GOOD! Warm Vanilla Creme was actually the first one I smelled, and to be honest, felt it was WAY too strong. It smelled like FROSTING,  SERIOUSLY!!!!! And don’t get me wrong, I love that smell, I just wasn’t sure how it’d wind up smelling during the burn. I picked it up anyway, brought it home, and let it burn while I left the house. DO NOT EVER DO THAT!!   BAD ME!! Luckily, when I got home, my house was not burnt to the ground and when I walked in my home I had an immediate sugar rush! My nostrils were pleased as I started taking deep breaths as if I were getting tested for asthma! It was just the right amount of frosting scent and gave my entire downstairs a sugary, sweet smell. I couldn’t be happier and I plan on purchasing another one tomorrow! It almost angers me how impressed I am with a $5 candle that I got from Wal*Mart when all along I’ve been buying outrageously priced candles that contain less wax and have a shorter burn time. Better Homes candles are the way to go – so far! I’ll have to buy some other scents to see if they, too, have a permanent place in my home. Candle  Details Below:
