Tickle Your Nose Giveaway

OK I'll admit it, I'm a candle whore. 

I have a stock pile of them at home and that's because on crisp fall days and cold winter ones the first thing I do when I get home from work is light a candle.  There is something about the soft flicker and the soothing scents that make me unwind and relax.

I'm always on the hunt for new candles to add to the stock pile.  Of course packaging counts, because lets face it we all like pretty things.  Enter Paddywax, my new love. 


They have everything I love- amazing scents, the perfect packaging, and lots of choices.  The candle that I have been lighting for the last few nights is Pomegranate from their new Winter Garden Collection and it's delish.

 (excuse the dark photo, it was dark out when I took it. Speaking of dark, don't you hate that its getting dark earlier and earlier these days? Well I hate it)

Back to the point of this post, candles. 

Because I love Paddywax so much and I want you all to love them too, they have sweetly agreed to give one of my readers a $50 gift certificate to their site.  Woohoo!

Lets review some of my favorites

Journey of the Bee Collection
I just love the little bee image on the glass- it's too cute.  And what I also love is that when the candle is buh-bye you can reuse the glass.


Garden Crush Collection
Beautiful colors, amazing scents- there is not one bad one in this collection, they all smell great.


Eco Collection
Soy-based inks, hemp twine, recycled paper- this is a wonderful planet friendly candle.

They have diffusers too- for those who aren't obsessed with candles like me these are perfect for you!

There are so many more where these came from too.  Want your own candles or diffusers to tickle your nose?


Here's how to enter for the $50 Gift Certificate to Paddywax:

1. Make sure you are a follower of EverythingLEB

2. Head over to Paddywax and let me know your favorite collection and/or what you would spend the $50 on.


BONUS - If you blog or tweet about this give-away come back to enter again.

 *Remember anyone can enter you don’t need to have a blog to do so- but please leave your email address in your entry so I can get in touch with you if you are the lucky winner.


Giveaway will end October 6th @ midnight EST.  Good Luck!!



PS- You can also follow Paddywax on Twitter and Facebook for their latest updates!
