NEST Sir Elton John Woodside Garden Candle Review

March 12, 2012

NEST Woodside Garden Candle

Out of all of the people in the world, I would imagine that Sir Elton John has one of the best gardens on the planet. I’ve always thought this.

NEST Pumpkin Chai & Tahiti Vanilla Candle Reviews

October 10, 2011

It’s cool and rainy here in Seattle. I’m starting to wear my “thicker” fragrances that are either spicy, smoky or gourmand. I’m also baking again and enjoying cooking. Even with all of this personal fragrance and ambient home fragrance, I still want my house to smell spicy or gourmand! Thanks to NEST, my home can smell even better with their autumn candle collection.
