Stevia Update and a miscellaneous item

Well I finished the box of Stevia and so far no adverse reactions to it.  if I was going to have one I would have had it by now.  My only problem with it is that they don't sell it in a bigger box.  I'll have to see on their website if I can order a bigger box of the stuff.  it sweetens beautifully and I can't tell of any sort of aftertaste at all.  I would still be hesitant if you are prone to plant allergies or anything like that.  Now I was never diabetic so i don't know how it will affect your blood glucose levels.  I'm sure there's documentation on all of that stuff out there but remember it's still NOT approved by the FDA as a viable alternative to sugar because they are not done testing it out.

My miscellaneous item:  I was in the pharmacy yesterday to get a refill on my prescription vitamin D and I was shopping around and found THE candle scent for me!!!!!  After using up all the candles in my house, I found this one at the drug store of all places!  It is a vanilla/sandalwood mixture and OMG it's very light but very masculine smelling........it almost makes me wanna rub it all over myself  LOL  It's not an overpowering scent nor is it sickening like what you find with a lot of other candles.....it just smells clean.  i lurve it!  I should go back and get more of that!

AWESOME! Im glad you tolerate it well honey. I use Splenda. Dr K and Mary B told me to use that. I have used it for the last 6 weeks with no problems and BJS sells the HUGE BAGS! LOL It last for well over a month. No after taste for me either. I love it! :o)

As for Candles I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THEM!!! I always snag candles from Wal*Mart because the small ones are $1.00 and the big ones are only 5.00 and the scents are YUM! But I am ADDICTED now to this Oil burner a daycare parent got me from the Body Shop. They have over 100 scents you can dump in there. 5 drops last 24 hours. I LOVE IT! My house always smells so good. hehehehe You and I are totally brother and sister torn apart at birth! LOLOL *****Smooches*******

Ohhhhhh I want to try that!

You would LOVE IT!!!!!! LOL

Hi Aaron,

I am glad you did great with the stevia. How much does it cost? Because it finished quickly.  I use splenda and I buy the big bag that lasts us about a month and Gino and I use it.  It cost about $7.50 at walmart.  I buy a box of the individual packets so I can keep it in my bag, car so I always have it when I go out.
I am afraid to try it since it is not FDA approved you know I am still nursing.  I think I will wait on giving it a try until after she weans.

LOL you crack me up about the candle. I get very excited too when I find a candle that smells great, does not have an over powering smell and I do not get migrains when I light them up.  lol

What's the brand of the candle?

yeah I would definitley wait a while before giving it a try.  There's only 40 packets in the box and I swear that box could hold at least 100 of them....talk about overpackaging.

The brand of the candle is called Essential Elements Vanilla and Sandalwood

it's essential oils in a soy wax blend.  Very awesome candle :)

The Sandalwood scent is really nice, and would you know that it's the scent that some superstitous people like my family use when someone has passed away?  It's some what of an angelic transfer/ a blessing scent of some sort to bring harmony and peace.  I found out about it when my sister died, and my family wanted to burn those candles at my house (where she'd died).  After a while, you could feel like you were gliding on your feet and totally calm.  It's a good scent!

I get headaches from musky smells, and ironically - the sandalwood doesn't give me a headache.
