Now keep in mind, this is my FIRST experience with a Mia Bella candle smileys/smiley2.gif.
Igot my box last night that the wonderful UPS man dropped off (he didn't show up until 6:30 at night so it was a LONG day waiting for him) and I could smell the candles right through the box. I opened it up and all I can say is YUMMY. I didn't think I'd be crazy about Sweet Orange Chili Pepper because it sounds kind of crazy, but I love it! I was tempted to burn the big candle, but I didn't. I first burned a votive. Now, I have Civil War-era, high ceiling Victorian house with huge rooms basically ALL woodwork. It's very, very hard to get a candle to smell up the room but this little votive had no trouble doing it. YAY. I can't even imagine what the big one would have done! A nice, light scent without being overpowering. I can't wait to try more!!!
Anyway, that's my first impression of this awesome product we have. My question to all you Mia Bella ladies (and men) is how many and what kind (votive or jar) do you burn YOURSELF each month? And how do you afford it all, lol. I thnk I'm going to be my own best customer (not great from a financial standpoint smileys/smiley36.gif) Ifeel like I just want to try them all right NOW!

I usually burn 1-2 new scents a month at home - and I like to burn the jars. Yes - it is VERY hard not to burn more....but 1 lasts so long that I can enjoy it for days. I am currently burninga Lemon Pound Cake jar (its YUMMY) and its been keeping me going for about a week now. smileys/smiley36.gif

I think I almost always have a jar or a votive lit, it just depends on my mood that day, lol.
I got my first case of candles 2 weeks ago and kept 2 for myself and have been alternating those (Clean Cotton & Heart of the Ocean).
I love getting the COTM, it fuels my need for a new and exciting scent.
Right now I have a Coconut Macaroon votive burning, yummy!!!!

Sandra,
I have found the burn time on the jars to be around 100 hours at least. The votives...hmmmm....15 hours? Around there....

Becky, welcome to our candle world. lol......I myself burn lots. I am for sure one of my best customers. I have several going at all times in different rooms. I always have a jar going in my kitchen and votives in my laundry room, living room, and usually even my bedroom, in the warmers. I am in this business yes, to make money, but at the same time I couldn't sell a product I didn't totally stand behind so I am going to enjoy these candles just as much as my clients. They put me in such a good mood everyday. When I'm cleaning and going from room to room I love having the different scents hitting me as I enter each room. I truly am a CANDLE ADDICT and very proud of that habit. lol..............Have a great day!
