La Bella Candela Review & Mother's Day Giveaway



 I love candles and always have at least one burning in my home. They don't even have to be scented. Sometimes just that flicker of a candle flame is enough to help you relax. The candle holder you use can really make all the difference when it comes to atmosphere. And for beautiful candle holders that are as unique as they are functional, a great place to start shopping so La Bella Candela. With Mother's Day just around the corner, one of their spring themed candle holders would be a wonderful idea for any mother.




For my review, I was sent the Monarch Butterfly Candle Holder. I have always loved butterflies and monarchs are common in my area so its fitting for my home decor. I thought these candle holders were lovely online, but the pictures don't do them justice. They are amazing in person. The butterflies look like they are really sitting on a bed of grass. When you light the tea light inside of it, it comes to life in a whole new dimension. It shimmers and glows and is one of the prettiest candle holders I have ever owned. I know I will be getting a few more of these as gifts for birthdays and will want some more for myself as the seasons change.



In addition to the butterflies, La Bella Candela has lots of other lovely nature designs including orchids, irises, sea shells and more.  If you want something truly personalized this Mother's Day, you can also send in your photos for a "Your Photos Here" candle holder. Planning a wedding or bridal shower? You couldn't ask for a better wedding favor. Just send the shop owner an email to discuss event planning. If you are thinking about making a purchase, now would be a great time. New Age Mama readers are being offered an exclusive discount. Just enter the code MAMA20 to receive 20% off your order! This offer is only valid through 4/30/11.
