Jimmy Belasco Soy Candles
Mar 28, 2008 at 12:06 AM 
So I bought a Jimmy Belasco soy candle in "Green Green Grass." It smells so delicious! Very springy, not too perfumey at all. Here's the description:
If you have been cooped up in the house all winter and the groundhog did not see its shadow... burn yourself one of these! This will take you back to laying on the grass while looking at a clear blue sky... this fragrance is one of our top sellers.
Here's a link to Jimmy Belasco's website. It's, like, the happiest website I've ever stumbled upon. You have to check it out.
Oh, yes... you can buy the candles on his website, too, but please note that they're $34 and I only paid $24.
UPDATE: Here's an article about Jimmy on CNN. I could love him. (Not in that way; I don't think he's on my team.)
Jimmy Belasco's philosophy is simple: "Be happy. Be happy at what you're doing, and if you're not happy then go home and get happy."
"This is our small piece of bringing peace on this Earth," says Belasco. "And if it's through a candle, if it's through a smile, if it's a gift from a loved one, and this just makes your day and lifts your soul -- we did it."
You lifted my soul today, Jimmy, by helping to make my apartment not smell like sheep! Thank you!
UPDATE 2: Omg, I love him more! Jimmy Belasco's new candle line benefits dogs in need.
UPDATE: Brooklyn locals... I bought it at Exit 9 on Smith St.

Holey Moley!!! You paid $24 for a candle?? How big is it??
OK, seriously, where did you get it for $24? I am in CA, but if it's a chain that might be out here, I'd like to know...
I got it at a local shop, Exit 9.
If you ever want to take a road trip, you ought to head up to the Yankee Candle factory store in South Deerfield Massachusetts. I live about 50 minutes from there and like to go and just smell all the neat stuff they have. They have all these neat displays, one is a Oompa band... that comes to life and plays a few tunes. Your niece and nephew would love it!
I have bought some at Burke Williams Spa. He uses artists as designers for the packaging too. I have one here with artist Joey Deruy and his picture . Where can you get more?
I love the work made by the artist Joey Deruy too.
