Candle Fetish/Fencon

So, this year I decided that I'm going to buy candles only from that brand I love best (Tyler Candles) and not fritter away funds on inexpensive candles. So today in the mail, I got a trio of candles: their excellent Mulled Cider, the always favored Patchouli (which I've already burned, and declare lovely), and Envay a new scent that contains sandalwood and bergamot (yes, very men's perfume. I do like it.)

I have added Cowboy and Snickerdoodle to my wish list, because I don't know how you could go wrong with either. I keep the jars to store office supplies in, and it's marvelous to get a sniff of mulled cider when I grab out a paperclip.

I got my Fencon WW assignment, and I'm in the first group of victims Thursday night. Thank Goodness is all I can say! I don't weather cons all that well, and fear that I wouldn't make a good impression (or be civil) if I have to wait until Sunday's session. What a relief!

Tyler candles are in jars, so there's not really any mess involved. They are mostly soy oil (which is better eco-wise) with non-lead wicks, so they aren't as dangerous (lead-poisoning wise).

Soy candles, depending on how much oil there is in them, can be very strong. That's why I like this brand. It's potent. Yep!
