Austin's On Fire! |
After a weekend in Austin, TX, I have yet another reason to indulge my girl-crush on Sandra Bullock. She makes fantastic relationship choices (Ryan Gosling, and now, happy marriage to Jesse James), entertaining movies (Love Potion #9, Two Weeks Notice), giant donations to charity ($1 million to Red Cross/Hurricane Katrina), and now, she also makes environmentally-safe candles.

Bullock owns Bess Bistro in downtown Austin, and a recent addition to the restaurant is the teensy-tiny case of organic candles, behind the host desk, which are designed to complement the smells of food.
This is one of those ideas I hear about, and then say "oh for crying out loud - how did I not think of that?" Because when you're cooking, and also want to have the ambience of candles...oh, who are we kidding, I don't cook. But I do have food delivered, and the food smells typically do not really mesh with many of the candles I have strewn throughout the home.
Miss Sandy,

as I'm sure she'd let me call her, after we went shoe shopping together, is also known for being conscientious, and she actually put money into researching a way to create an eco-friendly candle - rather than just use the standard methods that often produce carginogens.
Carcinogens = bad
Candle scents = good
It's some challenging math, I know.
If you're in the Austin area, pick up a Bessence Candle at 500 W. Sixth St.

And tell Miss Sandy that Saturday afternoon shoe shopping works best for me.
If you're not in the Austin area, but would like to be, stay tuned to HolidayGolightly.com...we're adding the trips soon!
