Chesapeake Bay Candles Review and Giveaway

"Influenced by the contemporary designs Mei discovered during her travels in Europe and distinctively different from traditional candles available in the American market of the mid-1990's, Chesapeake Bay Candle was destined to become an instant hit. The very first Chesapeake Bay Candle collection featured stylish pop colors such as mango, lime green, and lavender combined with a unique mottled texture leaving the impression of little snowflakes on the candle finish, pair with exquisite botanical fragrances."

You might remember creator Mei Xu from my earlier blog post about blissliving home. 

Did you know that in 2010, The White House invited Mei to create a candle exclusively for First Lady Michelle Obama?
