Hey all! I just received my 4 pack of the tall candles (my husband calls them "grandes"- I think he spends too much time at Starbucks!) and they're just LOVELY! I admit, I ordered them as gifts for my girlfriends, and didn't intend to keep any, but now I am reevaluating! I am intoxicated by the Lime Basil. It's DIVINE. This summer we spent three weeks in Charleston, and something about the Lime Basil reminds me of those cool little shops we ALL love, the ones where you walk in and think "that's it, I'm redecorating my whole entire house and I want it to smell JUST like this store".

So ladies, thank you! Think of all the money I saved in "I have to redecorate I hate my house-itis"?

Hello All! We've been busy busy busy here, and we've fallen behind posting all your great emails and stories in our blog! We've received many emails, and we're working right now to get them posted and up for you all to read! Thanks for all the "where's the blog?" messages- we had no idea how many of you are reading!

Now, for some exciting news! We sent a candle to Hoda Kotb (of NBC's Today Show), and guess what? Last week they unveiled her "newly redecorated office" and what did we see? The Promise Candle in her office! We've since talked to Hoda, and we're really excited that she loves her candle and thinks the candle is a wonderful product! Woo woo!

Hello People at The Promise Candle!

We run a local yoga and meditation center, and recently were introduced to your product by a friend at a gift store here in Pennsylvania. We bought some candles for our facility through your website, and the patrons here went NUTS over them (we burn the "mysteria" scent, and use it as part of our classes, centering on the flame, etc. We have a class in particular, in our meditation series, about focus, and many of our customers (as I am sure you've noticed with a surge of orders from Pennsylvania) have bought their own Promise Candles to meditate and bring themselves into a personal calm in their homes. We just wanted to say THANK YOU! We're so pleased with our candles, at home and in our business, and the idea is simple, but perfect. We wish you well, and hope you'll come visit if any of you are ever in Pennsylvania! It's gorgeous here!

Hi Marsha,

Just a note to let you know you’ve helped bring peace into our lives. We’ve only had the candles two days and we love them. I got the new one the other day.I hope you are feeling alright. You are in my prayers and thoughts.

Thank you! Lynn

I just found "The Promise Candle" on Myspace, and I just wanted to write to tell you how lovely an idea it is! Women these days need something to MAKE us appreciate life and the time we have, we just have so much on our plates that we can't back up and SEE things for what they are and should be! My mom recently survived a major heart attack, and she's recovering, thank God. This was a wake up call for me personally, and I know it was for her as well. Life's so short! I'm ordering us a couple of candles today, and I am sure my friends will as soon as they see ours. Thanks so much! Christine

Marsha,
We have been friends for most of our lives. You are such an inspiration to me. I have always valued the love and kindness you give. It comes natural for you. We should all be as brave and strong as you are. I love you dearly.

I just received my candle order and I am SO excited! I have given two of my candles from my 4 pack away, one to a dear friend and one to my mother, and they're both really intrigued by the idea- and of course in love with the scents!! My favorite is the Fresh Fig, but my mom is obsessed with her Mysteria candle.

I wanted to write to you to thank you for this candle and this IDEA. At first I didn't take it overly seriously, I thought I'd give the candles as gifts and be done with it, but I decided to keep a candle for me, and I followed the "instructions" the first day. I sat quietly for 5 minutes, before I had to leave for work, and just relaxed. The rest of the day seemed... softer somehow. I was really relaxed and I felt like it was easier to be nice to people, if that makes any sense. I sat with the candle for the rest of the week, and the calmness only increased. I actually had a coworker ask me if I had received a raise or something because I seemed happy-not smug exactly, just kind of "secretly happy".

I hope this idea takes off, someone should email Oprah and tell her about this, it seems right up her alley!
