Albisa’s Cafe con Leche Candle is All About Comfort

October 8, 2020 By Marta Darby

UPDATE: 11/6/2020 – COMMENTS CLOSED – WE HAVE A WINNER! 

Congratulations to Tee Burgess, the winner of the “Cafe con Leche Candle” from Albisa Candles.

Please send an email with your mailing address so we can get your fabulous Cafe con Leche Candle out to you ASAP! Congratulations! 

Thank you all for your participation! 

Also, CHRISTMAS IS COMING!  Please go bookmark Albisa Candles – HOME OF THE CUBAN BREAD CANDLE and give them some love on Instagram too. 

***************************************************************

Welcome to the 4th MBFCF Fourteen Years in the Blogosphere Giveaway of 2020.

Are we having fun yet?? 

Today I’m super excited to share that my friend, the brilliant Isabel Alvarez, owner of Albisa Candles has done it again. 

You’ll remember that she’s the one who came up with the mind-blowing Cuban Bread Candle. Please read about that here – Albisa Candles – Home of the Cuban Bread. 

Full disclosure – I got one for every one of my Cuban Family members for Christmas last year, but that’s not important right now. 

Isa has now created a candle that smells like CAFE CON LECHE. As in, you close your eyes and you’re a Cuban kid again and mami is waking you up for school with a nice hot cup of Café con Leche. It’s perfection. 

Seriously, I closed my eyes and I experienced a type of visceral comfort that is super needed in these strange times we’re living in. I time traveled so hard when I lit this candle that I almost wept. (Also, I’ve never been accused of being too dramatic. Shut up.) 

Today’s giveaway is one of these highly coveted Café con Leche Candles from Albisa Candles.

1)To enter the giveaway for the Café con Leche Candle please leave a comment right here on THIS POST – then please go visit the Albisa Candles site and check out her shop. Come back here and tell me what your favorite candle scent might be.

2) Also, for a 2nd entry, go follow @albisacandles on Instagram.

3) Come back and leave another comment and say, “I liked Albisa Candles!” (We will work on the honor system here. Don’t make me spank you.)

I’ll be choosing ONE winner on Thursday, October 15th, 2020 at 11:00 am PST. You have until then to enter. 

If you’re the winner, I advise you to get tissues. That is all.

    My favorite candle scent would definitely be cafe con leche 😍 I have been drinking cafe con leche since I was 5 years old ~Cuban style~ and it is the only thing I drink every morning! Would love to be able to smell it all day long too!

  58. Carmela C. says

    October 11, 2020 at 10:32 am

    Café con leche and cuban bread are my favorites. I liked Albisa Candles!

  69. Pilar Vasallo says

    October 13, 2020 at 2:22 pm

    I visited the Albisa website and the candle that intrigues ne the most and that I would love to try would be the Todo lo malo echa pa’ ya. For one, we can never have enough protection from the evil eye casters (AKA el mal de ojo). Additonally, as a huge fan of Pitbull (el Cubanito de la Saguesera de Miami), the name of this velita reminds me of one of my favorite songs of his. Lastly, the description of the scent sounds like a candle I would love to own to help ward off all those bad juju. I can just imagine how great that sag, cedar, sandalwood and the brown sugar must smell. Mmmm llevate todo lo malo!

  70. Elsa Villlar says

    October 13, 2020 at 4:39 pm

    Cafe Con Leche and Pan Cubano are my favorite. I love the smell of Cafe Con Leche.

    Pan cubano!!! And it won’t be as hard as a rock the next day? Win!
