Freebie Friday: Soy Delicious

SoyDeliciousWelcome to the first Freebie Friday of March.  Post a comment with a valid email address before 12/11c, Monday, March 8, to be entered for a chance to win.

This week’s Freebie comes from Soy Delicious, makers of 100% pure soy candles.  Maggie and Georgette are committed to making an eco-friendly product in every way – from their dye-free wax to the lead-free wicks.  Even the glass jars are reusable for your favorite beverage once you’re done with candle. Their fragrances are spa worthy – from Dulce de Leche to Tahitian Orchid.

The winner this week will receive their choice of one full-sized candle along with one of their sugar scrubs. This was the same gift they gave out at The Grammys back in January!  Take a look at some of the celebs that visited them.

This week we want to know: What’s that small indulgence around that home that you just can’t give up? Baking with premium chocolate? A weekly bubble bath? That cup of espresso in the morning?  You have until 12/11c on Monday to answer.  Click here for the official rules.

  1. This is simple. At the end of every day, I spend a moment with three purring kitties on my lap, a devoted dog at my feet, in the arms of my deliciously wonderful husband, holding a really great glass of wine…
    Life's good!

  2. I would like to see more shows on antique architecture. Like tours of historical homes and buildings, US and international …and I like candles :)

    Thank you for a fun contest,
    Cathy

  5. I have to have my cup of herbal tea every morning to start my day out right. My favorite is green tea with ginger.

  6. Quality organic food when available, unscheduled time with my family. The best.

    Molly on March 6, 2010 at 12:08 AM
  7. I always, always, always have Chocolate Chips in the house…add to butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, flour, baking soda and salt and you have the best cookies in the whole world in about 20 minutes! Don't have 20 minutes eat them as they are and enjoy:)

  8. Haven't indulged in a candle in over a decade – this line sounds great.

    Julie on March 6, 2010 at 5:15 AM
  9. Sharing a quite evening with my husband and our cat.

    Pat on March 6, 2010 at 12:18 AM
  10. Good, strong Java in the morning and a nice glass of good red wine in the evening…

  11. I have found that candles help with my stress level. If I'm feeling a bit stressed, I light a candle (hopefully a soy candle, as I'm all for eco friendly house items), and sometimes take a bubble bath with a candle if I'm extra stressed. I also really love a good scrub to start or end my day in the shower!

    Joylynne Harris on March 6, 2010 at 5:22 AM
  12. The Soy candles are great.

    Mary Ann on March 6, 2010 at 5:35 AM

  14. These candles look awesome, would love to try the Tahitian Orchid while soaking in my jacuzzi tub! It'll be like relaxing on a tropical island . . . bliss.

  15. Curling up on the couch to watch a favorite classic movie, nice cup of coffee, and my favorite comfy robe, oh and maybe a box of tissues, depending on the movie.

    cjstewart06 on March 6, 2010 at 6:47 AM

  18. Some people can't give up chocolate… I can't give up popcorn!! :)

    Samantha on March 6, 2010 at 1:17 PM
  19. Something I can't live without? There are quite a few things, a good microbrew at dinner, music, a big comfy chair to read in, but my bed is most crucial. I can't seem to get much sleep unless I'm in my own bed. Also, I just moved and desperately need to freshen up with some new candles.

    Rebekah on March 6, 2010 at 1:56 PM
  20. Archipelago candles are SUPER.
    One of the best we have carried in our store.

    Bobbi on March 6, 2010 at 9:28 AM
  21. I love candles and have them all over the house…would love to have a bubble bath but unfortunately cannot afford to redo the bathroom! But the dreams are still there! So the candles will have to suffice for now!

    Sonya on March 6, 2010 at 2:50 PM
  22. soy candles of course. :)

    spritzl2002 on March 6, 2010 at 3:17 PM

    MN_Girl on March 6, 2010 at 3:18 PM
  24. Soy candles have a more natural smell.

    Donna on March 6, 2010 at 3:55 PM
  25. Hmmm "small indulgence I just can't give up…."

    Popping in to say hi to friends on Facebook! (with a tall glass of my own stove-top brewed tea (in an old fashioned Pyrex flameware pot) sweetened with honey and a splash of REAL vanilla! It's very calming &
    entertaining! ;^)
    (I am a candle lover as well…nothing invokes a sweet memory or mood like a good candle!)
    Life is good!

    Kelly on March 6, 2010 at 9:12 PM
  36. A good cup of coffee in the morning. It is great feeling to wake up on a weekend to see the sun peaking through the blinds, get up, go get the paper and sit down to a good, hot cup of coffee. All is peaceful for a few moments.

    cindy on March 6, 2010 at 9:36 PM
  37. I indulge by using REAL butter in my recipes.

    HelloChris1 on March 6, 2010 at 10:13 PM
  38. My Olay with shea butter bath soap. I still try to squeeze it into my unemployment checks only budget.

    LA Sonya on March 7, 2010 at 12:42 AM
  39. Fresh herbs from the grocery store–basil, oregano, mint, thyme, cilantro and parsley….the bottled stuff just can't compare, though the bottles are quite a bit cheaper!

    ellie_h on March 7, 2010 at 12:45 AM
  40. what i indulge in? sadly, i guess :) , are my hair and body products. i'm a sucker for deals and clearance for just about everything! (which my husband loves) except for when it comes to my shampoo and makeup. i save up for all mary kay products (just can't switch to the cheaper stuff, but still good, from target) and spend over 10$ on my hair washes. tried cheaper things like swave, but my hair hates it and doesn't hold back from telling me so!
    thanks for the great "green" candle give-away :)

    Koren on March 7, 2010 at 1:49 AM
