They are now the only candles I buy, and the only thing I need to keep my home from smelling like pets. I firmly believe they are the best odour control around.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $35.99 (available in 16 scents).
30. And finally, a bidet attachment that fits most toilets, because when you realize that washing your bottom after using the bathroom makes even more sense than washing your hands, you're never gonna want to wipe with that dry, wasteful, less-efficient toilet paper ever again.
