January and February Favourites

How is it already March!?

At the end of 2016 I planned out how I was going to set up my bullet journal for 2017. I wanted to track my wax usage as I have SO much to use up, so that I can sneak more into the house haha. Also I wanted to keep it up as part of my self care tracker too. So my plan was that I could use the monthly lists to keep my favourites so that I could update the blog with them. But I wanted to do more of a chatty blog so…

Haha.

Well I’ve done the first bit. Not the second bit… so be warned this could be a rather lengthy favourites post. Vloggers tell you to get a brew for a long video so this is your reminder that you might want to do the same.

I started January with a few Christmas scents, I am one of those people who will have Christmas type scents in the middle of summer and the reverse. The Grinch from Scent Circus was one of my favourites of the Christmas selection that they had. I love their theme boxes and the attention to detail in all of their melts. I finally finished Cinnamon Sticks from Flamingo Candles, this was one of their Christmas 2015 candles. Absolutely loved that and gutted it never came back for 2016. Candywick had a fabulous Christmas selection too and I enjoyed Gingerbread and Cinnamon Buns. Read More

CANDLES WITH CHARACTER “Harris, Hubert, & Hamish” Candle Review

I have a stash of Candles With Character from My Dearly Loved, in a wide variety of scents, I love going through it and kind of treating myself to a new scent every now and again.

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks for me and I wanted something to soothe me and sort of lift my spirits while I made my way through a mountain of work and I just knew that one of Lyn’s wonderful wax creations would do the job.

I opted for Harris, Hubert, & Hamish, the scent of this 4 oz. soy wax candle is described as “pure sweetness overload, including candied cherries and fruit, frosting sprinkles, and powdered sugar. Perfect for hungry bear cubs!”

“Merida’s mischievous, triplet brothers are busy trying to find
something sweet to eat in the castle’s cavernous kitchen!” Read More

Samuel Parris Vanilla & White Rum Candle Review

Vanilla, rum, candles, wooden wicks…These are some of my most favourite things ever, so I was crazy happy when our buddies at Samuel Parris sent me one of their Vanilla & White Rum candles to test out and review.

The scent is described as “a warm, smokey vanilla” I definitely get the smokiness, which I love. It’s a unique fragrance, I’ve never smelled anything like this before.

The decadent and rich vanilla mixed with the sweet, spicy rum make for such an indulgent scent. It’s insanely good. I’d love this fragrance in a perfume, I would bathe in it!

Flamingo Candles Mermaid Crush Purple/Pink Ombre Candle Review

Have I ever said how much I adore the colour purple?

I LOVE IT! Not a little, a lot. This candle really made my heart sing PURPLE. I love the ombre trend and especially in a candle it really brings out the gradual difference in colours. It’s obviously perfect for the mermaid theme too. Flamingo Candles know me well it seems.
