I was showing Kerry my list of blog post ideas the other day; there were tons and I realised that sometimes I was sat here twiddling my thumbs, wondering what to write about when I had all this content at my fingertips! Todays post was actually between two; my massive empties was the other one – that will be up on the last day of the month, what perfect timing! Twitter has spoken and chosen my candle collection – whilst mine isn’t as huge as this one, I do have more than enough for now…I’m obsessed with one of the new Yankee Candle scents though, Summer Scoop
– it smells divine!
– it smells divine!
I try and keep my smaller candles stored away from prying hands in this Christmas biscuit tin…what do you store your candles in?
I bought the Black Coconut medium Yankee Candle jar from work with birthday money from my Mum – its quite delicately scented but absolutely lovely! Following on with the love of Coconut, I bought this Jelly Belly Coconut candle from Amazon
for £9.99 – cheaper than Yankee Candles and just as yummy!
for £9.99 – cheaper than Yankee Candles and just as yummy!Something I treated myself to from work was the White Chocolate Mint Thank You Yankee Candle tumbler..I love mint chocolate and this smells exactly like it! You’d think this would be quite sickly but it isn’t and I am currently burning this as I just can’t get enough of it!
I got some of these from Poundland and some from Amazon but let me put it this way….for £1, STOCK UP! These are brilliant and I am holding off on burning them despite the cheap price tag!
I bought these two from Poundland – vanilla candles are a failsafe with me and I thought that I may as well have an M&M’s candle if I have the Skittles one! Apple and cinnamon is another fragrance I keep heading back to – probably more a Winter scent but this smells fantastic, very Christmassy.
Now we come onto my Scentsy bars – c/o the lovely Lori. You may remember I ran a competition not too long ago for a Scentsy warmer and some Scentsy bars – that was probably my most popular giveaway to date and I definitely know why; Scentsy are AMAZING. These 4 scents above vary from subtly sweet to incredibly strong – but there is nothing more I like than breaking off a cube, placing it into the warmer and relaxing.
I only have two Yankee Candle tarts at the moment which is a surprise to me…both of these scents make me very hungry and both smell just like cake as you can imagine..Yummy yummy!
Finally, I have some Scentsy samplers in a variety of scents; I actually had way more than these but have burned them all. Scentsy samplers are a great way of trying a scent without giving into the full price tag.
Whilst writing this, I realised there are a couple I missed out that are currently residing in my bathroom; something I’ll include in the What’s In My Bathroom? post coming up in the near future. Jack also broke one of my favourite candles the other week too; I was really close to finishing it too!
Do you like candles? Where do you buy them from? What scents would you recommend?
I love candles, I had one of the skittles ones too!
They're so good!x
I tend to have incense or oils burning more. I keep my tealights in a tin too. It's safe.
I'm really getting into oils now!x
Those Skittles ones sound amazing! I have quite a few Yankee candles around my house at the moment, the Black Coconut one sounds gorgeous too. xo
It really is!x
I am ridiculously jealous! Such a lovely collection. Those Skittles Candles are amazing, I've never seen them before xxx
They are on Amazon for £1!x
I love yankee candles! Im burning 'Beach Walk' at the moment and its a lovely gentle, relaxing smell
Ooh, I quite like Beach Walk 🙂
I don't get candles. Like, do you use them as a decoration, or for their smell or something else…? :/ they've never been something I've sought out to buy. Xo
Their smell 🙂 x
I adore candles, totally obsessed with them xx
