They say there's a sucker born...

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.
