Kevin is Infatuated with Mochadoodle

My Kev is an interesting fella.

Photobucket

If you've read our blog more than once or twice, you probably already know that he plays in a rock band, enjoys tearing apart and fixing up old houses, and is a diehard college football fan.

But what you may not know about my Mr. is that he is completely. infatuated. with candles.

Yep.
That's right.

Candles.

The man has to have at least one burning at all times.

I swear!

And while Mrs. Palmer usually thinks the house smells fine, and that they should conserve the candles for when company comes over-
Mr. Palmer
, on the other hand, says they "shouldn't spend money on candles if they aren't going to ever use them".

(Don't worry- I stopped fighting him on this subject the day we found the $1.00 "Mainstays" on the candle aisle at Walmart. He's welcome to buy and burn as many of those bad boys as he wants!)



This year for his birthday I got him a steamer (he decided he was going to start eating more veggies this year, and that's the only way he'll eat 'em.), a t-shirt from Old Navy, and, no joke, a BRICK of this stuff...

Photobucket

Mochadoodle is described as, "Delicious roasted coffee beans and cocoa, balanced with sugar, caramel and heavy cream.", and it's Kev's absolute favorite scent.

His birthday was about a month ago, and I think he's used the steamer one time- but that brick.
Don't you know that thing is almost gone !



So in honor of my sweet, scent-lovin' husbands infatuation with the things, we're hosting a Scentsy giveaway on our blog this weekend!

One of our sidebar sponsors, Lisa from CraveScents.com has offered to give one lucky TLC reader a Scentsy Plug-in Warmer and Scentsy Bar of their choice.

Photobucket

All you have to do to enter, is visit CraveScents.com, and take note of which is your favorite plug-in warmer, and which is your favorite scent- then come back here and leave your answers in the comment section.

You can find the Plug-in Warmers page HERE, and the Scents are located HERE.

The giveaway will run from now 'til Monday, July 26th, 2010 at noon (Central time).

Good luck, and have a great weekend!

Our Family said...

I have always wanted to try Scentsy. I would choose the Groovy Brown warmer and hmmmmm.... since I can't smell the scents, I would choose the Cinnamon Cider or maybe the Honey Pear Cider.

Anonymous said...

I love the Taro warmer and would like to try the Coconut Lemongrass bar. Thanks Layla!

kathyanddave said...

alison said...

i like the groovy rust plug in and i'm thinkin the cutie pie cupcake would be yummers.

Katie in VA Beach said...

I like to have a candle burning all the time as well. I love going from room to room and smelling the different scents. I's amazing how your house can even feel a little bit cleaner when it smells pretty. Trust me, every little bit helps when you have five kids!

Laura said...

I'm drooling! My favorite warmer is the Groovy White, and I think the Oxford scent would be fun to try!

Heather said...

My hubby loves candles too. :)
The cherry blossom warmer is gorgeous! He loves blueberry scents so probably the blueberry cheesecake. (I'd probably be more along the cashmere line.)

Thanks!!

Melodie Monberg said...

Love these candles...never knew they existed. I've been missing out.

Okay, the waves plug in with French Lavender Scentsy Bar would be my choice, hands down!

Stacey said...

I am liking the Taro plug-in with the White Tea and Cactus bar.

Thanks for this opportunity. I had never heard of this company before and am in the market for this very type of product.

Cheri said...

I like the Taro warmer and the Cinnamon Bear bar. Cinnamon is my favorite!

Katie in VA Beach said...

I forgot to mention what my picks would be. The French Lavender Scenty Bar with the Groovy White Plug In warmer would be my choices! I can'y resist Lavender!

Holly said...

Great giveway. I love the Taro warmer you posted in your post and the Coconut Lemongrass scent. Thanks!

April said...

@ paisleyphotographyshots.blogspot.com
I have never tried these and have been wanting to for some time!! I would have to say my favorite warmer would either be the Tao or the groovy white.....but they are all so cute!! And I'll have to take your husbands advice and go with the mochadoodle scent!! Thanks for such a great giveaway:)

Caroline @ The Feminist Housewife said...

Mmm...Mochadoodle sounds delicious.

That is hilarious! I wish my hubs was that way...but I guess I can't blame him. He's allergic to a lot of candles! Haha.

I burn them anyways. ; )

Heather said...

I don't think my other comment posted :( Here's another try! I LOVE the sand dollar burner and the coconut lemongrass brick, as it reminds me of the beach.

Humble Bee said...

I like the sand dollar warmer and I think the sweet pea vanilla would be interesting. Gotta love sweet pea's!

Thanks for the giveaway :)

Annette said...

Love the Taro warmer and would like to try the inner peace scent for my guest bath. Love your blog and all your interior designing you and hubby do.

lindsay rae said...

loving the groovy brown with, HELLO, mochadoodle! :)

Michelle said...

I would love the turquoise one...it's beautiful. My favorite scent is sugar. wonderful.

Martha said...

That is so funny!
My husband is the same way. A lady he worked with sold Scenty, and I always teased him that they saw dollar signs when he walked in the door. :) Every few weeks he would buy more wax becuase of his obsesion with candles.

We had one burner that broke during the move (sad). I am crossing my fingers in hopes of winning!

My favorite plug ins were the cherry blossom and the Sand dollar. Our favorite scent is still the white tea and cactus. Clean and crisp!!! :0)

EARTH MOTHER said...

Ooooh, hard to narrow it down to one each... But, I'm going with the Grotto plug-in. The Inner Peace Scentsy Bar – earthy wood notes with the unmistakable scent of lemon groves and rejuvenating cypress – is beckoning me.

jenwiththetreefrogs said...

French Lavender!!! Oh, I do love lavender. It is amazing how I am drawn to it when i walk into a store or shop. :)so calming & lovely.

Amber said...

I love anything coconut - so the coconut palm would be my choice!!!

SammaSpot said...

I think the Taro warmer would be perfect in my bedroom and I'm wondering why I Haven't seen it before now??? Right now I'm loving the Coconut Lemongrass and I'm not even a coconut fan but it smells so fresh and so clean and crisp!

I Need A Drink! said...

Love the B&W pic of Kevin, so cool. Just a quick question on the little tins you had at the Screened Inn with the knives and forks in them. The little tags with numbers on them. Can you tell me more about them. Did you make them up yourself and what are they made of. Thanks Kathy Australia.

labluvr78 said...

Mmmm... candles. I had a choc chip cookie candle a few years back and had it burning while I cleaned. Later in the day my hubby came home and asked where the cookies were. I asked "What cookies". He said "I smell cookies. Where are they?" I told him it was a candle but he didn't believe me and practically tore the kitchen apart looking for them. I laughed my butt of and never again bought candles that smelled like cakes or cookies for fear of what my husband may do if it happened again. ;-)

labluvr78 said...

Oooohhh. I love the Grotto plug in and the cinnamon cider scentsy bar. :-)
