Dear Yankee Candle Company

Dear Yankee Candle Company,

I have a product suggestion for you.  It will fly off the shelves – I swear.

I am a stay-at-home Mom with 3 children.  I love my life, but like anyone with any job, I find myself needing a weekend away from it once in awhile.  Last weekend I took a quick getaway to a little vineyard and winery. The wine tasting experience was so fantastic, that my mouth waters now just thinking about it.  More than the taste, however, it was the aroma.  Oh my gosh it was so heavenly.  It was like ‘shopping at Hobby Lobby with no spending limit’ kind of heavenly.   Like ‘a rom-com marathon on a Saturday in your pjs with no children interrupting you’ kind of heavenly!

So now…back to reality.  Oh how I wish that as I’m folding laundry and changing diapers I could pretend like I am still at the winery.  I’d be feeling sophisticated and relaxed instead of frumpy and frazzled.

Mommies the world over may not be able to drink their “Mommy Juice” during the day, but what if we could at least smell that luscious smell of fine wine and pretend like we’re fancy?  I might be willing to trade in my fall pumpkin candles for the scent of a fine merlot.

So please, my dear Yankee Candle Company Product Research and Development team, please bottle that smell for housewives the world over.  We will be forever grateful (until those kiddos are in bed and we can have the real thing!)
