A girl after my own heart, Cat Lincoln over at Holidash writes about the value of burning scented calories to satisfy that craving for something sweet. It's what I've been doing for a long time, and it serves me well.

With cookie-filled holidays right around the corner and the possibility of a few extra pounds lingering close behind, candles might be the secret to staying slim. My recommendation: Yankee Candle's Christmas Cookie fragrance. It will fill your house with scrumptious scents, convince your guests you've been baking for hours, and allow you to fit into that perfect little party dress. You've got to be able to hack the temptation, though. Think you can do it?

If you're not all that keen on the aroma of baking cookies, check out the gallery below for some other sweet scents.
