Mashed potatoes. Cranberry sauce. Apple pie. Who can resist the thought of such mouth-watering cuisine served at Thanksgiving dinner?  From now through the day we give thanks, we’ll be featuring a delectable creation inspired by foods found at a fall feast. The best part? You can enjoy these appetizing morsels without worrying about your waistband. Bon appétit!

The best part of dinner is often not even dinner itself, but dessert. And the best kind of dessert is one that leaves no evidence on your waistline. Since that is basically impossible, we at BX like to simply smell our desserts instead of eat them by lighting a tasty-scented candle. (Okay, fine, we admit we normally give in and eat a real dessert too).

This small candle gives off a big scent!

Thanks to the kind people at Butterfly Effects, we have been introduced to a mouth-watering scented soy candle — Brandied Pear. A unique scent, Brandied Pear offers a nice alternative to the traditional pumpkin, chestnut, cinnamon and apple crisp scents of the season. The candle envelops your room in a warm, homey, crisp and clean scent that is sure to relax and soothe your soul.

Handmade from earth-grown soybeans, Butterfly Effects candles are infused with essential oils and guarantee to burn for approximately 60 hours.  A 7.5 oz candle costs just $12.99, which is a bargain considering it could burn for almost three days straight! To place your order, check out the Butterfly Effects website.
