You know the old saying "there's a sucker born every minute"? Well, the other day I was that sucker. I've always been the type of person who loves to try new products. I also happen to be the type of person who watches an infomercial and is sold by the end of the half hour. I mean, come on - who wouldn't love the Slap Chop, a dog Snuggie or a $300 Cricut machine? (you should see what that thing can do!) I really don't consider myself to be a gullible person, just optimistic that things might just be as good as the company claims :) You'll never know unless you try it, right?
So, I had gone shopping with my Mom and we were browsing around looking at the air fresheners. Well, the lovely folks at Febreze must have seen me coming and done a happy dance lol. I spotted the Febreze Flameless Luminaries and decided that I had to try one. They run on batteries and simulate a flickering flame inside a scented lantern. I liked the idea that I can leave it unattended and not worry about my cat knocking it over.
Now comes the sucker part. I read the packaging in the store looking to see how long the scent will last but it didn't say (of course). Not until I got it home and read the scented shade package inside did I see that it only lasts for a week. The replacements are around $5.00 per pack, so it looks like I just found myself a costly little hobby lol. I have to say though that I set it up and it does smell really nice. Whether or not the scent will even last a week remains to be seen. If nothing else, it makes a nice decoration. But, I can definitely find something better to spend 20 bucks a month on...like Yankee Candles ;)
p.s. - this is something that I DO recommend:
It's a soy candle and it smells soooo good! I haven't even burned it yet and I can smell it as soon as I walk into our office area.
