If you know me you’ll know that my all time favourite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast, I just love everything about it. I told Lyn from My Dearly Loved about this numerous times when discussing her Candles With Character line, so I was very happy when she sent me a Mrs. Potts inspired candle.
Brimming with goodness in the Beast’s castle, Mrs. Potts is sure to impress!
It’s my birthday today! I’m so happy to be turning the big 30!
Life is sweet so I thought I’d share some fabulous birthday cake inspired candles with you.
Treat yourself cause it’s my birthday and I say so, LOL. 😉
Dearly Loved is one of many brands that I’ve been introduced to this year and it is now one of my all time favourite brands ever.
Lyn and her wicked candle making skills have raised the bar for me when it comes to handmade candles now. Candles With Character have such unique scents, they burn cleanly and flawlessly, their super strong scent throw is consistent from start to finish and the wonderful Disney inspired themes fill me with such joy.
My latest review candle will have you saying ALOHA and feeling right at home on the Big Island with Lilo! Read More
This candle is scented with the unmistakable rich aroma of sweetened condensed milk, the key ingredient to so many tasty treats.
I was sent four fabulous candles from My Dearly Loved’s Candles With Character range (line of candles and wax melts inspired by Disney characters and stories), Sleepy, Flik and Three Caballeros all of which I adored but I definitely think I saved the best for last. I mean this candle… YUMMY! It smelled like cakes and cookies and caramel, just so sweet and delicious. Read More
It was such a beautiful day out yesterday and today is shaping up to be pretty glorious too, a sign that Summer is really here.
If you haven’t already, it’s probably time to dust off the BBQ and to start getting ready for all those fun outdoor activities like camping, Summer parties, games with the kids and lounging in the sun with a nice big cocktail.
Plus candle light is way more romantic than the buzzing and cracking of a bug zapper.
But did you know that you don’t need to buy just “citronella” candles to keep the bugs away, other essential oils which are often used in candles work just as well.
Basil, Thyme, Clove, Cinnamon, Lemongrass, Peppermint and Rosemary Candles are particularly good for keeping mosquitoes away.
Cedar oil is great for keeping mosquitoes and moths away. Eucalyptus candles are good for flies and dust mites.
Lavender candles will repel insects but they do attract bumble bees, but Eucalyptus and Tea Tree oil candles will keep them away.
As a candle junkie I’d suggest just buying one of every kind then you’ll have no problems!
Here are some of our favourite candles for Summer; perfect to keep those pesky bugs away… Read More
