Cinna-nom Nom Nom Candles & Home Fragrance

I LOVE cinnamon scented candles and wax goodies, most people consider it a Winter time or Christmas scent but I personally enjoy it all year round.

According to the aromatherapy cinnamon is an incredible fragrance since it helps with exhaustion and fatigue working directly on the nervous system helping us to calm down, which is very good to know because we all get stressed and worn out from time to time.

Here’s a round up of some cinnamon candles and home fragrance products that I would personally recommend or that I would like to try… Read More

Take Me To The Sea

Apologies for the slight lack of articles, we’ve been crazy busy and needed a little break for some “me time” but we’re back and we’re gonna have heaps of features and reviews coming for you.

A little while ago my lovely boyfriend took me for a trip to the beach, it has been way too long since I had been and he knows how much I love the water, I was totally a mermaid in a past life. Since we got back I’ve been craving that ocean air and everything water related so I figure until I get a chance to go back to the beach I’ll just surround myself with beachy/oceany scented goodies.

I want ALL of these…

Sea Spray by Colonial Candle – Splash around in a crisp marine blend of sea grass, salty sea foam, and amber sand.
Yankee Candle’s Beach Walk – Refreshing salt water and sea musk warmed with sunny notes of tangerine and orange blossom.
Ocean Star – Soothing and fresh . . the scent of peaceful, sun-kissed waters laced with aloe, citrus, and lotus blossom. Dive in!
Sea Coral – Like gliding along a tropical reef, this unique watery fresh fragrance surrounds you in the soothing warmth of sea musk.
and Sun & Sand – A tropical beach breeze of sweet orange flower, lemony citrus, fresh lavender and powdery musk.
 Surf Beach from The Milk & Cookie Candle Company – Surf Beach Scented, Clean Ocean Scent with Bamboo and Teak and hints of Coconut.
Scentsy’s By The Sea – The scent of ocean air wafting through dewy, seaside grass.
Beach – Papaya and honeydew sweetened with a hint of coconut.
and Ocean – Cool and refreshing aquatic notes deepened with water lilies and ocean breezes.
Seaside Surf by Root Candles – The perfect impression of the sea. Rosemary combines with hearty florals of violet, jasmine and geranium in a cocktail that evokes the clean notes of a seaside spray. Warm throw boasts of cedar and amber musk subtleties.

Colonial Candle Coconut Rain Air Freshener Review

Colonial Candle Air FreshenerSam gave me this ages ago… it was sat in my candle box for months before I had a proper root in that box and was like “what are you doing in here?” The packet then sat on the table by the front door ready to go into my car the next time I went out. Yeah. That didn’t happen. Anyway a week or so passed and I have been so happy with our new home, we’ve been living here for two years now but it still feels so new. I like that feeling. I obviously have worked on different ways of fragrancing our house, it is mainly open plan so it can prove difficult.

But the room I struggled most with was the family bathroom. I hate overpowering scents but I wanted something that had enough smell but I didn’t want the boys to hate it. That is quite a task, believe me! I had tried many pot pourri efforts (and is it just me or do they not smell for long any more?) and also I had lit some candles before we had visitors to make it smell lovely. But I wanted something a bit more everyday and something I didn’t need to tend to. So I grabbed the air freshener from the table downstairs and hung it over the window handle. It was a complete guess as to whether this would work, it did! Read More
