NC Oxford Candle Company

2 / 22 / 162 / 22 / 16

We’re super excited to be working with NC Oxford to bring you some candle reviews;
their candles just ooze luxury but come with an affordable price tag.

I’ll leave you with Tim now, one half of NC Oxford to tell you all about his fabulous brand. – Sam

NC Oxford

My wife and I have lived in Oxfordshire for about 20 years, both having been brought up in different part of the country (South Wales and Surrey). We both love Oxfordshire. It has a charming tranquility about it, whilst being very close to the action if we fancy it. It’s also very cosmopolitan, without the fast paced and hectic way of life in close by London.

The city of Oxford has so much inspiration to offer, with it University and world renowned people (Tolkien, CS Lewis, Stephen Hawking, Winston Churchill, the list goes on and on!). The surrounding countryside has also influenced our candles, with it’s lovely market towns, picturesque rivers and famous landmarks.

We’ve long been lovers of scented candles, however have frequently been disappointed with the poor quality of the cheaper candles or loathed to fork out £40/50/60 for one of the better know luxury candles. So we started making candles for ourselves just as a hobby, which soon turned into a bit of an obsession! Read More

Rosy Rings Candles & Home Fragrance

5 / 15 / 155 / 15 / 15

Today we’re joined by our friends from Old Stable for a guest blog.
They’re here to tell us all about a fabulous brand that we have yet to try but now really, really want to.  – Sam

There’s scented candles, and then there’s scented candles. Rosy Rings candles are definitely the latter – an American brand started in a Colorado basement, this company is all about quality first. Their candles are still handmade as they were originally, rather than machine-poured as many these days are and have a strong focus on the use of natural ingredients – many of the products contain fragments of shell, cones or flower that add to the presentation as well as the fragrance.

Before I share my thoughts on the gorgeous candle that is Blush by Lily-Flame, I just Lily-Flame Blushwanted to take a minute to introduce myself, I’m Georgie, a full time wine & food PR and candle-aholic. I am very excited to be joining Sam and Sarah as a guest writer for their wonderful site.  If you like what you are about to read then please check out my own blog The Goodhind Life for all things food, life and fashion related. Now on to the important stuff…

Last Christmas one of my best friends introduced me to Lily-Flame candle, for which I will be forever thankful. I know Sam has previously written about the Daisy Dip candle, however my absolute favourite is Blush ‘First Kiss of the Night’. Admittedly I am not a huge fan of the name as I think it is slightly flimsy, however all is forgiven every time I take a whiff. Read More
