I mentioned in my mummy candle holder post that I was using programmable LED candles, and many of you have wondered where to get your hands on them! They come from Enjoy Lighting and I was lucky enough to get to try them out for review. I am smitten.
I have always loved flameless candles, being able to get the look and feel of candlelight without the fire risk to our bird has always been my number one reason. Plus, they last longer than traditional candles, and come in just as many wonderful scents and styles.
Now my favorite type of candles just got even better because you can buy them with timers! Set them to come on at a certain time each day, and run for intervals of 4, 6, or 8 hours. This is a feature that I am most excited about for the holiday season!
Enjoy is the only brand that features Triple LED™ technology and a special built in computer chip programmed to create a glow and flicker that will make you think you are looking at a wicked candle. It really does look like you are using a real candle! Sometimes I think I need to blow them out because it looks so real.
They are made from real wax, and the scented kind actually have a very strong scent, which was great because sometimes when you live with pets (or other people) your home could use a little something nice to smell!
Also great? Enjoy candles can be found at many retailers, including Target (here is the complete list). I can’t wait to get my hands on a few more for the upcoming holiday season, and of course just for everyday too!
*While I was provided with the product for this review, as always, my opinions are my own, regardless of compensation.*
What do you do when you have time on your hands, some spare craft parts, and a love of Halloween? Well, if you are anything like me, you whip up some mummy candle holders!
These were so fun and easy to make, I was wishing that I had more googly eyes so I could make one more! I had these round tall glass vases on hand already, but you can get them at any craft shop or thrift store. Add in some googly eyes and gauze, with a little ModPodge, and suddenly you have some spooooky mummy candle holders!
To make them I simply stuck the eyes on first with double stick tape. Then I started painting on the ModPodge with a foam brush, starting at the top of the vase (I did use double stick tape to stick the first part of the gauze to the vase, just to make it easier to get started). Adding gauze and glue as I went along, I simply wrapped the vase until it was covered, leaving part of the eyes sticking out.
What is really great is that they fit my LED candles perfectly, and you can get LED candles that are programmable to turn on just when you want them to. It’s a bit like magic. I have a feeling these mummys will greet visitors to our home (going to put them on the windowsill).
Are you getting excited for Halloween?
Halloween is just around the corner, and I am having a Halloween Hop to celebrate! What is a Halloween Hop? It is my name for a Halloween themed blog hop, featuring ideas for Halloween decorating, crafting and cooking. Everyone is welcome to take part and you can link up to 3 of your Halloween idea posts. The purpose of a blog hop is to find inspiration, visit fun new blogs, and of course, get ready for Halloween!
The Halloween Hop will take place on Saturday October 1, 2011! Get your ideas ready! You may link to new posts, or favorites from your archives. As long as it is something fun to do with Halloween (like a great recipe idea, or fun craft for the home, or your awesome Halloween decor)! Come back on October 1 for the linky and to add your posts to the blog hop.
I hope that you will want to join the fun! 
We recently got a chance to try out Brad’s Raw Chips in three different flavors, two were dried kale, one “naked” and the other was called the “vampire killer”! They also sent us a bag of sweet potato chips!
The chips are not baked or fried, they are dehydrated below 115 degrees to preserve the living enzymes. Pretty neat, huh?
The result is a crunchy snack that is healthy and delicious! And crunchy (yes, it had to be said again)! So if you are craving crunchy and healthy, you will really enjoy these.
They come in twelve flavors: Red Bell Pepper, Hot Red Bell Pepper, Sun Dried Tomato, Kale, Hot Kale, Beet, Indian, Sweet Potato, Cheddar, Naked Leafy Kale, Nasty Hot Leafy Kale and Vampire Killer Leafy Kale. They are also vegan and gluten free!
They would be a really great gift for the food lover in your life, or even just for yourself! You can order online directly from the Brad’s Raw Chips website, or you can use their location finder to find them locally.
