MIA BELLA CANDLES

Once upon a time in a town called Wilkes Barre PA, two nurses Carmen and Lyn Milazzo decided to make their own candles. Through trial and error they came up with a great smelling, even burning candle that got the attention of Bob Scocozzo and Charlie Umphred. These talented people combined forces and formed an all American Company called Scent-Sations, Inc. They distribute their candles and products from Wilkes Barre and are living the American Dream. I believe, from reading the company's history that anyone who involves themselves with Scent-Sations can live their own American Dream, no matter what the economy looks like.

About a year ago, someone had given me a Mia Bella votive candle. I burned it and loved the smell and how it lingered through my kitchen and living room. I burned many candles since then, but never forgot about that free votive that someone had given me. In my search for American made companies, I ran across Mia Bella products. So I emailed Robert Scocozzo and he was more than happy to speak to me personally. I like this kind of contact. He didn't know me from Adam but was willing to take time out of his day and answer any questions about the company that I had.

I've checked many candle companies, some well known and some not, and became frustrated because a lot of the product was made outside of the USA. Mia Bella candles are made in Wilkes Barre and seem reasonably priced for gourmet candles.

Now that you know about these great candles, I actually listened to my heart and signed up for their Candle of the Month club. A great concept that gets me a jar candle, 12 votives and a Bella Bar(wait until you try these)! Plus, now that I joined the COTM club, I can consider myself a distributor and get great prices when I sell candles. I recently set up a small area at work with candles, made up sample packets and every time someone walks by my candle table, they comment on the yummy smell. Just from the sales alone I made up the cost of the COTM club price. But you'll have to check out my new website for more information. Oh, I get a website too. When you visit, click on the candle that says free drawing and enter. You never know, you just might win something.

So, I feel like I really am very lucky to find an American company with a great product plus now I am getting involved with Scent-Sations and possibly making my own American dream come true. I'll keep you informed how well this works out for me but the important thing is this company is a success from small town America.

Most people who've tried Mia Bella candles say they'll never be able to go back to burning anything else. More and more people are looking at the money making opportunity as well. So in conclusion, maybe the company should be called The American Dream.
