Birthday Cake Candle Contest

Here's a fun blog entry today. Continuing on with my quest to find the perfect way to make a birthday cake candle. I have this posted on my fan page here Olive Blossom Facebook Fan Page. For those that don't do facebook though I'll share it here as well. I have three options for you to choose from. Birthday cake with sprinkles, birthday cake with frosting or birthday cake with frosting and sprinkles! I'll post pictures of all 3 and you can vote for your favorite by leaving a comment on this post. This contest will run until Sunday evening on May 30th at 11pm.  I'll put all names in a hat from both this post and my facebook comments and one participant will win a birthday cake candle the way YOU like it!

Meet Birthday Cake

WHITE CAKE WITH BUTTERCREAM ICING

Who doesn't love birthday cake? Tonight I am introducing birthday cake but she isn't quite complete. I am trying to decide what you guys think? Do you like your birthday cake with sprinkles or pink frosting on top? The one on the bottom obviously isn't labeled yet and I think she might look better with a little less "frosting". What do you guys think? Anyone have a preference on what you like best?

Farmers Market This Sunday!

I am very excited. We will be participating in our first farmers market this Saturday, May 15th. It's in Sugar Land! 4350 Austin Parkway. It's from 8:00 am until noon.  So come check us out in person and find some of what you see up above!

I have to give a special thanks to Barb and Susan for keeping me up to date on all of this. They both have adorable kids items that they sell. Unfortunately they won't be at the market but you should check them out. You can find Barb here Daddy's Princess and Susan here Natalie's Garden.

Hope to see some of you on Saturday!

Where to find Olive Blossom

I'll come back and edit this post once everything is up and running.

In the meantime if you live in Sugar Land you can find us at Awakened Yoga. This a lovely new yoga studio in town center that also has a lot of fun retail stuff for sale as well. She's running great opening specials. Check her out!

If you're like me and have always wanted to try yoga then this is your perfect opportunity!

I also have an Etsy shop that is under construction but hope to have up and running in about a week.

You can also contact me directly.

My big plan is to have a grand opening sometime in June. Then I plan to work on marketing our candles in other locations.

Meet Lavender Wrap

LAVENDER WRAP

Freshly harvested lavender buds infused with honey

I'll tell you a little secret. I don't really like lavender. It hasn't done anything to me personally so it's not fair of me to not like it. Just not a big fan. However I really like Lavender Wrap. Maybe Lavender Wrap and I spent so much time working together that she grew on me.

I really do like this one and think it's a great fragrance. My lavender lovers agree!  I think the problem I had initially when I was testing different lavenders and combinations was that lavender tends to have a bit of a medicinal bite to it. I figured the best solution was to take the bite away. Hence the introduction of honey. It's really just a touch. When I smell this one cold I pick up the honey right away. However once you burn this one the lavender comes out and these two elements complement each other perfectly!

So for all of you out there that are proclaimed lavender haters...give Lavender Wrap a try. She may surprise you!

Meet Orange Vanilla

Meet OB Signature

It seems only fitting that I introduce OB Signature first as it's our signature scent. It's a custom blend that we came up with.

OB Signature
Delicate blossoms from the olive tree combined with the gentle breeze of an Italian vineyard.

A unique scent that you have to try for yourself!
