Thanks for the comments. Tub truffles are like bath bombs but more moisturizing. They are made with pure cocoa butter and melt and fizz in the bath tub. I call them tub truffles because they look like a chocolate truffle wrapped in gold foil.
Where was that beautiful photo of you taken?
I just wanted to say that you have the best photo of all the photos on this site. I have a 13-year-old boy and we love to hug each other, too.
I am the token male-owned business on this site in case you ever want to bounce an idea or get an opinion from a 50-year-old man who owns a marketing, advertising and PR agency in Southern California. By the way, one of our clients is in Tampa.
Since you live in Florida, I was wondering where the picture was taken.
Best regards,

I will take a look at your site. We don't use candles here cause I have a very large tendency to leave them on and forget. My husband is a fireman, and obviously has major concerns about that, so we just don't do things with fire. lol I do have some family member that are quite fond of candles though. :-)
I hope this helps.
