What's a burning? ~ Yankee Candle in "Country Lemonade"

I'm not even going to go into why there has been a lack of posts as it would take up a post on its own! Basically, I have been extremely busy and any free time I've had I have been dedicating to my youtube videos. Hopefully, now I can start posting more regularly!

Anyway, today's post is dedicated to a lovely candle I purchased at least two months ago!


It is Yankee Candles Scented Candle in "Country Lemonade"!

I absolutely love this candle and think it would be a great one for spring and this upcoming summer as it has a light, fresh scent making it a perfect scent for this time of year!
The scent is true to its name as it smells exactly like traditional home-made lemonade! It is smells light and delicate both in the jar and when burning.
Another thing I love about this candle is the fact that it does not burn down quickly. You can always tell if the quality of a candle is good or not but the speed at which it burns. This is the smallest jar sized candle you can purchase from YC and it lasts forever!

Have you tried any Yankee Candles? If so, what are your favourite scents? Leave a comment below! :)

Hope you're having a wonderful day!

A Few Little Treasures!

Good Evening Girlies!

So today I went to my brother's school's christmas fair which they hold every year to raise money for the school. Whilst I was there I had a look at some of the stalls and one of them stood out in particular.
The stall run by two ladies, a daughter and a mum and they were selling home-made jewellery, organic home-made soap and candles.
I love stalls like this and as the money was going to the school I didn't feel guilty in buying a few things! (Win-win, right? :D)

The first thing I purchased was two home-made bracelets which were a very good price at only £3.00 each! The green one is a basic bracelet and they silver one is a wrap-around elasticated bracelet. Both are absolutely gorgeous and fit perfectly around my wrists. (This can sometimes be a problem as I have tiny wrists! Observe.)

Aren't they pretty? :)




Next I got a soap which is wrapped up so beautifully I don't think I want to open it! It was £2.50, so again a very good price.
The lady said that the scent was 'Jasmine and Lemon Zest' and by smelling through the wrapper I can tell it is very fresh and calming. There are also little pieces of whole lemon and orange zest which look really nice - I can't wait to try it!


And last but not least I bought this little candle which was only £1.50! I really like it's packaging and it will look nice in my room when it isn't even being lit!
The scent of this candle is 'Cinnamon' but to me it doesn't just smell like cinnamon - it smells like Christmas in a candle! It smells very warming and spicy and I bet it will be lovely to have lit on those cold winter nights!


That's all I got and I hope you enjoyed this random post!

Glade 'Honey and Chocolate' Candle Thoughts!

Hellooo there!

Today I am going to be talking about something slightly different - a candle that I picked up from Tesco's a while ago!

Behold! The Glade 'Honey and Chocolate' Scented Candle!

This candle cost me £2.00 from Tesco as it was half price! (You do the maths!) I absolutely loved the packaging and couldn't wait to try it out!


My Thoughts:
I think this candle smells absolutely delicious! It does not smell at all sickly but just warming and to be honest not much of honey and chocolate but it really helps to make a room feel cosy and I don't mind it not smelling of it too much! I have been burning it every night for just over a week now and I still have loads left, so it is definitely a good buy in terms of how long it lasts!
The packaging is strong and sturdy glass with a beautiful, festive design on it which I absolutely love!

Overall I really enjoy using this candle and for £2.00 it is an absolute steal! Will definitely be repurchasing and/or trying some other scents!


Hope you enjoyed this little post!
Have you tried these candles before? Which brands of candles do you like? I'd love to know!

Much Love,
Lizzy
