I love the Partylite candles, although if I buy another one right now my mother will kill me. I have a huge dresser drawer filled with candles of all types from Partylite since I bought a ton of stuff and also got a lot free from one of my parties. I definitely wont buy another candle from any company except partylite. Although one of my favorite scents, strawberry parfait, was only around for last summer and its no long available
The grape candle smells exactly like welchs grape juice, the orange smells like a 50/50 bar. Get the feeling i like the fruit smells here. I love the clear cup tealights because you can float them in a bowl - think pref night here ladies.
As for becoming a consultant for Partylite one of my friends is a consultant and likes it. I used to be a Princess House consultant and would recommend you look into them also, I can put you in contact with one of my old Area Organizers. Once I'm done with Grad school I wouldn't mind getting back in to Princess House. Definitely if I have kids I would love to quit my job and stay home with the kids and do Princess House for my income. Partylite and Princess House are probably the only two home party shows I would consider getting into as a consultant
