Today is Vanilla & Lime’s 4th Birthday! We can’t believe it. 😀 The years have flown in and we’re so amazed and humbled by how far we’ve come, by all the wonderful brands we’ve worked with and by all the friends we’ve made along the way.
So let’s celebrate! To thank you, all our fabulous readers, we doing a HUGE BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY, with lots of great prizes for lots of lucky winners!
So what could you win?
2015 has been a truly wonderful year for the two of us and we’ve been blessed to work with so many amazing brands and been ever so lucky to review so many great products; so we thought it would be fun if we each shared our Top 10 Scents of 2015 lists with you. It was so tough for us both to just pick ten scents each because there are so many great candle artists and creative geniuses out there.
So here it goes… Read More
Since we first tried Village Candles we’ve become OBSESSED with them. They’re amazing value for money and the quality of them is just excellent.
I find the large jars the best value for money and holy wow do they burn for the longest time, sometimes I think they’re never ending.
I wanted to stock up on a few more Village Candles, from some different stores, to have over the winter, but a few turned into…well a lot more than a few. 😛
So what did I buy?
I love this time of year and I’m super crazy excited about Halloween. Actually that comment extends to Sam too, we love Halloween!
But anyway… Waxbox for October. I knew this one would be a good one and it SO lived up to that!
Here’s what was inside…
Spiced Pumpkin by Village Candle – “Good cooks know the tantalizing key to great pumpkin pie, and we candle-makers are happy to borrow from them: spices. A moderate but enriching amount. Maybe some cinnamon stick, maybe some lively nutmeg, maybe a dash of rich curry powder? Light this candle, sniff hearty, and see if you can guess!” Read More
You’ll have seen Sam’s review of the Brownie Delight candle that she was sent from Love Aroma. We both were excited to see what we were sent (as we always are!) and when they had arrived, excited messages went back and forth about them.
I was sent the Fresh Strawberries candle which is just like that very fresh strawberry smell. If you’ve ever been strawberry picking and you take that first bite into it, the juiciness and that strawberry smell that fills your nose. This is that smell in a candle!
I love the two wicks and they do make the scent throw quicker. But what I really loved about this candle was how it fragranced a room on a cold smell. I could smell it as I walked into the room, I would be sitting and watching TV and it would be on the side table next to me and I could smell the strawberries. Once lit though the throw is amazing, delicious strawberries that make you want everything strawberry. Strawberry milkshakes has been a favourite recently. Read More
