Online Customer Comments about Stainless Steel Pineapple Corer:

“This makes pineapple completely enjoyable! I’ve tried other pineapple peelers (Pampered Chef) and they are so hard to use that I avoid buying pineapple. This corer/peeler works so well, I’m buying pineapple all the time now!”

“This pineapple corer worked great, just as described. I absolutely love it!”

“Cores and slices pineapple with minimal effort. My only complaint is not buying one sooner!!”

“Worked like a charm even with my arthritis!!”

“The easiest way to core & peel your pineapple. Wish I would of had this year’s ago! So simple to use! Anyone could peel & core a pineapple with this, even a child or elderly person. I want to buy pineapples just to be able to use this, it is actually fun to use.”

“This product was easy to use. I was afraid I wouldn’t be strong enough to use it appropriately. I was wrong! Just cut the top off a pineapple and place it over the core. It cut through the ripe pineapple like butter. My pineapple chunks/slices are beautiful and uniform. I can’t believe I did it! I bought 2 more for gifts.”

“I have always loved fresh pineapple, but usually avoided buying them. The mess and hassle of cutting them up was not worth it to me. Then I purchased this great product! I love it, it’s so easy to use and clean up is a snap! Makes it possible to eat fresh fruit, without a lot of time and mess! Thank you Avon!”

AVON Home Fragrance Holiday Collection Candles

Good morning, beauts. Yesterday I blogged about my AVON Holiday Open House Party and I don't know how I did it, but I forgot to add one of my favorite details about the party! The scented candle from the AVON Home Fragrance Holiday Collection that I had burning, called Fireside. I figure its alright that I left it out of yesterdays post because this candle deserves the full spotlight of its own posting. It's that good!

Notes of cardamom, cinnamon bark, 

sandalwood, balsam and vanilla.

3 1/4"H x 3 6/4 diameter. 3 wicks; 30-hour burn time. Made in USA.

Reg. Price: $19.99 CURRENT SPECIAL OFFER: 2 for $20!

This is my first candle that i've gotten from AVON and it will not be my last! This particular candle has such a warm, inviting, and comforting scent that fills the room and is perfect for the Holiday season! My guests enjoyed it as well. The scent is noticeable but not overpowering. I had the candle burning for over 5 hours and it didn't leave me with a headache or anything like that. My fireplace is faux, yet this made it feel like I had a true fire going. Also, after a 5 hour burn time barely a dent was made in the candle. This will last for at least the full 30 hour burn time as advertised. 

The other scents from the AVON Home Fragrance Holiday Collection include:

Holiday Spice 

Christmas Pine 

Mandarin Cranberry

AVON has a wide variety of other scented 3 wick candles that are still available from previous collections. You can shop these all at youravon.com/ssandis 

Some of the other scents include:
Vanilla Buttercream
Salted Caramel
Sweet Cherry Blossom (Breast Cancer Awareness, donation made with purchase to the AVON Breast Cancer Crusade)
Red Velvet Cake
Fresh Apple
Autumn Day
Whipped Pumpkin

I will be placing another order ASAP for more of these smell good candles! On my list to grab are: Holiday Spice, Mandarin Cranberry, Salted Caramel, Red Velvet Cake, and Whipped Pumpkin. Although, I do plan on trying them all! 

Which ones sound the best to you? Comment below!! Now is a great time to place an order as they are choose 2 for $20, which is basically BOGO FREE! Ordering is easy at youravon.com/ssandis All orders ship to your home address for FREE when over $40!
