Frostbeard Studios

I am so excited to tell you about Frostbeard Studio! They have the absolute best candles I have come across.

How I found Frostbeard Studio:

I stumbled across Frostbeard Studio’s etsy account while Christmas shopping and found this amazing tea light soy candle sample pack for the everyday bibliophile. Immediately I knew I had to have it. I mean had to. I gave my husband a list of items he could get me and said, but this I have to have. I bugged him off and on for two weeks about it until he finally decided to order the sample pack and it was sold out! This could not happen. Just couldn’t.

I frantically e-mailed Roxie and Tom, the owners of Frostbeard Studio, begging them to make more of the Bibliophile Sample Pack. Roxie said they would try and make more, but mind you, it was December 6^th. Then, to my delight, five days later I received an e-mail saying they made more Bibliophile Sample Packs! I immediately called my husband and said, buy now! – and he did.

A month later, I made an even bigger purchase. I purchased the Book Nerd Tea Light Sample Pack, Pemberley Gardens 8 oz candle, Headmaster’s Office 8 oz candle, Through the Wardrobe 8 oz candle, and Trashy Romance Novel 8 oz candle. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

Why I love Frostbeard Studio:

Not only were Roxie and Tom nice and helpful during an incredibly busy season to a little nobody like me, but their candles are wonderful! These scented soy candles create a soothing environment perfect for anytime. Yesterday, I lit the Pemberley Gardens candle for an hour. The soft scent of roses with hints of lilac drifted through my downstairs. I was energized as I cleaned my house surrounded by this gentle aroma. Then I received a pleasant surprise. Two hours after my candle was blown out, I was still smelling hints of Mr. Darcy’s garden! And for those of you who know me, know I am an avid Jane Austen fan. So, this was just spectacular.

Last night I lit Through the Wardrobe around 8:30 pm and blew it out an hour later. When I woke up around 2:30 am I could still smell hints of the calming aroma. This was a wonderful way to fall back asleep.

I don’t know about you, but I always want my home to smell good.  And these candles do just that. I love reaping the benefits of an aroma that lingers even when the candle isn’t lit.

Why you should choose Frostbeard Studio:

Frostbeard Studio has soy candles in tea light sample packs, 8 oz jars and wax tarts. Plus, they have an amazing selection from wizardry scents, to Sherlock’s study, to book stores and cellars, libraries, Narnia, and The Lord of the Rings scents. How can a book or movie lover pass this up?

 Moreover, they made it into the Top 100 Handmade Etsy shops of all time! That shows something about their product and customer service.

I don’t know about you, but I am already preparing for my next order of 8 oz candles – Sherlock’s Study, Old books and Oxford Library. I can’t wait until this semester is over and I build a tree book shelf in my home. It will definitely be decorated with the constant aroma of a Frostbeard Studio candle.

Please take the time to check out these amazing candles. I am sure you will love them!

Julia Child Fail

Let’s start out by stating that I hate the kitchen. I can’t cook and cooking hates me. My husband always says that if he weren’t here, I wouldn’t eat at all. Actually I would, I would just live off cheese sticks, cookies and granola bars. However, with the New Year, I decided to start being in the kitchen more. Last week I made two actual dinners that weren’t premade/frozen dinners and almost every day I made a green smoothie. Yay!

So, feeling a bit confident, I decided to make an omelet this morning. I should start off by saying, I have never eaten an omelet. Well, after whipping the eggs like Meredith (Sarah Jessica Parker) in The Family Stone – fast, fast, fast -  until it was beautifully frothy, I cooked the spinach and some salsa (I didn’t have tomatoes) and then removed the mix, added the eggs, cooked them for a few seconds, added the mix, cooked for a minute, flipped the egg in half and watched it break apart like it would with a newbie cook. Still, this was okay. It is my first omelet after all. I flipped my newly made breakfast onto a plate, poured myself some Apple juice, feeling super excited and chef-life, until I took my first bite. I had a good idea about my meal after my taste buds cringed with the first bit of action, but I worked so hard, I had to take one more bite. Then I dumped the rest into the trashcan, grabbed four cookies and called breakfast done.

Julia Child would have chastised me for not whipping up some more eggs, Meredith style and trying again. And honestly, anything else would have been better than sugary cookies for breakfast. It’s a fail, but not epic and I’ll make a green smoothie, that from my daughter’s request, I had to have my husband show me how to make it “yummy”. Apparently, the green part was not her favorite, but with some experiments, we made it work. Either way, breakfast sucked, but cooking isn’t my thing and I’m working on it. So there.
