Diamond Candles

Has anyone heard of Diamond Candles before? I'm not quite sure just how I came across them, but with each "soy candle" there's a ring inside, a ring that can value anywhere from $10 - $5,000. The candles come in 11 different scents, Apple Slice, Cupcake, Lavender Lemon, Carnival Candy, Cinnamon Tea, Dusk, Strawberry Bliss, Sunwashed, Sweet Pea, White Chocolate and even Scentless.

The candles sell for $24.95 + shipping, not too bad right?

After watching video after video, seeing picture after gorgeous picture of the fantastic rings people have gotten inside their "Diamond Candle",  I finally decided to purchase one of these beauties for myself, and IT ARRIVED TODAY!!!!

I chose the Lavender Lemon, which was an easy choice for me because I love anything citrus scented and I figured the Lavender would help "destress" me after a long day. I'll admit that when I purchased this "Diamond Candle", I expected the jar to be cheap, I expected that it wouldn't "hold" the flame and shine so bright and lastly, it's definitely NOT going to smell as beautiful as I had hoped.

Well, Diamond Candle, you have officially proven me WRONG!

The candle itself (in the glass jar) is beautiful, its sleek and modern and it even comes with a "lid", I didn't know that!? Then the smell, I can't help it, but I keep breathing in deeply through my nose, the scent is fantastic, it surpassed all of my expectations!!!! My son is at the other end of the room, I at my desk, and he said "what's that smell?", my daughter replies "Its that Candle Duh!"

So the rule is that you are supposed to burn the candle until it reaches the gold foil, revealing the ring, you're supposed to use tweezers or something of the like to remove the "foil package" and let the wax cool, once it cools, you're supposed to unwrap it and reveal the gorgeousness enclosed. I've already told myself that I'd let it burn until I could easily remove the foil package that contained my ring, my friend said if she got one, she'd probably "drill it out". The scary thing is, I KNOW WHERE THE RING IS! Why? I can see it clear as day... It's right there!!!!

So, I've got my tools ready, and I'm doing my best to wait for it patiently... It's been almost an hour since I lit it, the aroma is filling the air, and I'm loving the smell, but if I'm going to share my thoughts, I'd best be honest, "I WANT THAT RING NOW!!!!"

Until later apparently, much, much, much later....
