12 Days of Joy - Day 4 | Candles, Etc. Giveaway

Day 4 and we are back in business with another GIVEAWAY! I know this company is not local to Lynchburg, but they ARE a local, small business located in Wilmington, NC. When we were in downtown Wilmington this past Thanksgiving weekend, we stopped in and I fell in LOVE with the products at Candles, Etc.!

They are made with all natural ingredients right there in the store. No dyes are used (guaranteeing that no matter your scent preference - the neutral white color will match your home decor :)) and the scents come from essential oils. They smell so yummy the entire time they are burning! But the best part?! (Even my favorite Yankee Candles can't say this!) Is that they burn CLEAN. No black around the top of the jar (even if I forget to trim the wick), and every teeny tiny bit of the candle wax burns (no waste!). Love, love!

So - I wanted to highlight this business because on top of all the other things I've mentioned, the candles are priced better than my old favorites (Yankee) and this company will ship just about anywhere! For Day 4 of the 12 Days of Joy, we are excited to offer a $20 Gift Certificate to Candles, Etc.

Oh! And it's OKAY if you don't live in Wilmington, NC because they will ship anywhere! :)

12 Days of Joy - Day 3 | Cherishing

The events that happened yesterday in Connecticut make this 12 Days of Joy project seem... so... trivial. I am not very elegant with words, so even writing about how heartbroken I am over the whole thing seems near impossible. I just keep thinking about the Christmas presents under the trees of those families who lost their babies... the family of the shooter... those parents who sent their children off to school probably after some silly argument about what to wear that day... having no idea the day that would unfold before them.

All of it - it's all just horrific... tragic doesn't seem like a big enough word.

I'm really, really sad about it all.

I thought about canceling the 12 Days of Joy altogether. It just seems silly to run a campaign after something like that. Work isn't important. Families are important. Cherishing your loved ones are important.

So I'm going to do just that. Today, I'm taking the day off and spending it with Tommy & Sunday. Tomorrow we'll start again on Day 4. But today... today we'll make hot chocolate and curl up together and enjoy the twinkling lights of the Christmas tree. And we will be saying a lot of prayers for those affected by the tragedy.
