Voluspa Candles at DNA

Our bathroom doesn't have any windows. To make things worse, to get the humidity out, the light switch also controls the incredibly loud fan. This means that you cannot have the lights on without the fan starting up. There's no room for a tablelamp in the bathroom so this means that if it's time to relax, the use of candles must be employed.

And our very favorite candle to help usher in the spring is the Voluspa pink magnolia scented candle. Yes it sounds fancy doesn't it? It smells perfectly as though we had a blossoming tree outside our nonexistent window. Well we have a little secret to share: we buy them at way below regular price at DNA, a store on Rose Ave that mainly carries clothes. Just as you walk in they have an incredible selection of candles and lotions that anywhere else would be expensive enough for us to pass on, but at DNA they're discounted and we stock up like mad. Do you have an unexpected place to find the things you love (but don't love to pay full price for)?

AT: Chicago just had a post outlining the hazards of products containing phthalates, a common additive in scented candles. Do you know if these are phthalate free?

TJ Maxx and Home Goods. I have gotten the BEST stuff there!!! (high-end scented candles included) too bad there aren't any close by. Chino Hills has a TJ Maxx/Home Goods combo that's to die for.

I just bought some Slakin (Sp???) candles at TJ Maxx (Boston area) this past weekend.

btw you could hang a small chandelier in the bathroom and it would't take any counter or floor space. they come in all kinds of styles so i'm sure you could find one that fit yours and then you could have proper light with no fan
