Primark Candle Haul

11 / 1 / 142 / 10 / 15

Ok, first of all, I use the term “haul” very lightly for this piece. Secondly, I must be a glutton for punishment because I keep buying candles from Primark (called Penneys here in Ireland) and I keep having bad experiences.

So here’s what I bought… Read More

Take Me To The Sea

4 / 30 / 142 / 7 / 15

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.
Sea Salt & Driftwood and Sea Breeze & Olive from Partylite.
 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.

Milk&Cookie Candle Company Wax Melts Haul

3 / 21 / 142 / 15 / 15

If you haven’t guessed already, I’m a massive Milk&Cookie Candle Company fan, they’ve sent us products to review but I actually buy from them as well. My candle cupboard was looking a little bare so I knew I had to stock up on some tarts…

Milk-amp-Cookie-Candle-Company-Haul

Pineapple Upside Down Cake – I’m currently on a cherry/pineapple kick, and I love making Pineapple Upside Down Cake for my boyfriend so I knew I had to get this one. It super pineapple-y but has a hint of vanilla buttery cake-iness, very very yummy!

Vanilla Supreme – Like a rich real vanilla, super creamy ice-cream. I’ve been using this in the warmer in my bedroom, it’s a really comforting scent, perfect for bedtime.

Cherry Cheesecake – This scent is unreal, it’s exactly like Cherry Cheesecake and you can smell every layer of the scent; the buttery biscuit base, the tart and sweet creamy cheese filling and then the yummy cherry topping.Delicious.

Blue Hawaiian – This is my ultimate happy scent! It a mixture of Coconut, Maraschino Cherry and Pineapple, three scents that I just love all mixed together. It’s really uplifting and I highly recommend it.

Cherry Cola – See I told you I was on a cherry kick at the moment. I’d never tried this scent before but I was super intrigued by it. I was pleasantly surprised, it smells like cola gummy bottles and cherry candies. Just another scent I wanted to eat LOL.

Patchouli – I surprised Trish when I requested this scent, cause y’all know I’m not crazy
about floral scents, but I ordered a set of Patchouli melts for my Mom, cause it’s her favourite scent. She was so surprised when I sent it and said it was fabulous!

The Milk&Cookie Candle Company’s melting cubes are amazing, you only need one and the scents are so long lasting! If you haven’t tried their products, what are you waiting for?!

Welcome to Vanilla & Lime

5 / 17 / 122 / 13 / 15

When two girls spend most of their days dealing with work, babies and boys they rarely get much time for themselves, not that they complain(too much). So it’s the little things that make them happy, like relaxing with a cup of tea and lighting the wick on a brand new candle or when they read about new candles being launched.

Sure they get excited about shoes and throw cushions like most girls, but candles are a whole different story with Sarah and Sam.

They both have stashes of wax tarts and have great discussions about which ones are nicer and about mixing different scents together.

They even talk in code about which candles they’ve bought and will buy so as not to get “the look” from the men in their lives who have to live with the addiction, and who usually have to foot the bill for the candle splurges.

They have it pretty good though; an actual serious problem to Sarah or Sam is when their clicky things run out of fuel or when a company discontinues one of their many favourite candles; tears have actually been shed.

They know everything about candles; what to do with them and what not to do, they know millions of tips and tricks and where to go to get the best deals.

That’s why they started Vanilla&Lime, so they can share all of their borderline pyromaniac wisdom and knowledge with you, along with some reviews, product features, tips, tricks, giveaways and general chit chat about pretty things.
