YANKEE CANDLE - SUMMER SCOOP

Hello lovelies, how rubbish has the weather been this week? Typical when the fella finally gets some time of work and me! We have been stuck what to do, but have loved family cuddles on the sofa watching movies and I love nothing more when its dark and gloomy outside to light some candles. The candle I am currently burning is this one, it smells so delicious and instantly brings me back to my youth of running down the road trying not to miss the ice cream van for a 69er, not what you're thinking, filth. There probably about £2 nowadays but nothing like an ice cream in the summer but are we getting summer this year? It just keeps raining lately, this candle will just have to do for me now and pretend its summer. You will want to eat this as soon as you smell it, its just gorgeous! I love these little tumbler candles as there in between the small and medium candle sizes, not too expensive and they burn for ages, as I like changing my scents up all the while this size is perfect for me and makes the whole of the living room smell amazing or any room i'm burning it in, I have a slight obsession with Yankee candles though and trying to get through my stash at the minute but I have the small jars dotted all over the house with the larger ones kept in the living room, Asda actually sell Yankee candles for the fraction of the price, my favorite scents are fresh, sweet, fruity and strong Christmas like scents for example cinnamon etc, mmm makes my nose happy aha.

Do you have a favorite Yankee Candle? 

Favorite Christmas Scents.

Hello lovelies, how is your week going? Today I have for you my favorite Christmassy scents. I love the general Christmas scents such as frankincense, ginger, cherries, cinnamon etc. I love rich deep powerful scents. So here are a few of what I'm loving this year.

I am a big Yankee Candle fanatic, I love my candles and these are just lovely. I would like to try some more luxurious brands but for the price tag I think these are beautiful. I have a few large jars but mostly the smaller ones as I love a mixture of smells there are only literally two scents I don't like from Yankee. The two 104g jars I have to share with you lovelies today are,

Cherries On Snow & Red Apple Wreath

Cherries On Snow - The only way to explain this candle is Cherry Bakewell Tart!! I want to eat this right now as I'm sniffing away like a dog at a pee stop. It's amazing it smells good enough to eat it really does if you like cherry bakewell ofcourse. You can also smell the frostiness of the snow lingering in the background. I would love a large jar of this just for Christmas. I know there are some people out there that buy expensive candles and don't burn them... why?! Whats the point haha, I'm quite bad with mine they go quite quickly I am addicted to candles. 

Red Apple Wreath - A true homecoming feel to it with the warm sweet apples, cinnamon, maple and those sorts of aromas. Very Christmassy scented in a jar. Once its lit I do feel all festive inside I have also spotted Yankee have an advent calendar! A candle obsessives dream. 

A couple of Yankee Wax tarts also,

Christmas cupcake & Christmas memories.

I prefer my wax tarts to my jars to be honest as I feel they give of more scent around the room/home. There also fairly cheap at £1.25 a pop but there's always cheap finds on ebay and amazon. 

Christmas cupcake - A vanilla butter frosting scent very rich and creamy this also smells good enough to eat. I know not a lot of people like the sweet scents but I'm a massive lover of sweet scents, I adore my Vanilla cupcake one and this smells similar with the richness of the butter cream icing. 

Christmas memories - All your Christmas treasures mixed into a wax tart, the smells from your home cooking kitchen including spices and sweet smelling aromas. This makes your home smell Christmassy in preparation for the big day. 

Then lastly, not the most exciting thing in the world but I love my home smelling welcoming, clean and fresh so always have an air freshener on the go. I couldn't actually find my plug in wrapper to show you so thought I would just show you the air freshener I have on the go at the minute. 

Spiced Apple and Cinnamon - Glade

Glade have some gorgeous Wintery scents fresheners in the shops now, I want them all but being a candle obsessive is fairly normal, an air freshener obsessive though I think that's a little strange. This is a festive aroma filling the home full of gorgeous rich scents, my mum hates cinnamon scented things so I lay of it as much when shes visiting but I spray like mad once shes gone, not because she smells or anything haha because I can't wait to fill my home in the gorgeous notes of cinnamon and spices.

What are your favorite scents throughout Christmas?

My yankee collection

Hello lovelies,  How gorgeous is the weather lately? If your from the U.K you know what I mean we take full advantage of a bit of sun were lucky to get it every now and again!  Anyway back to the blog post, i thought i would share with you my on going Yankee Collection i absolutley love these candles! They smell good enough to eat. 

My only large jar at the minute as my large dragon fruit is on its last wick (legs).

Vanilla Frosting - This smells so good! Good enough to eat. One whiff you get the taste of the vanilla cake like scent at the back of your throat without the calories. Mmmm.

Medium sized jar

Summer Scoop - This summery scent is my absolute fave at the minute. Again so edible smelling i just want to eat it. I will probably be saying this a few times on this post. It is a rich and creamy smelling icecream retreat with undertones of blackberries and raspberries its just amazing. Please go and smell it!

Little jars

Mandarin Cranberry - Another fave of mine and summer like scents of bursting oranges and zingy cranberries they both go so well together. It's so zesty and citrus like.

Blueberry Scone - Again i just want to eat it! Good job there not edible i would have ate all my candles that smell like food they make them so heavenly! The blueberries just smell so good into a cake like scent it's just beautiful. 

Red Apple Wreath - Just one whiff of this makes me think 'christmas'. It also reminds me of those cinnamon ball sweets anyone else remember those? It is just so festive and homecoming. I love cinnamon its very strong if you love that too you would love this candle.

Cherries On Snow - Another festive candle of mine and to me it smells just like cherry bake well tart! Yeah you guessed it i could eat it. The almonds come through but with the freshness from the ice (snow).

Sicilian Lemon - It brings back childhood memories of lemon sherberts. Although I'm only 22 it does take me back to my younger years sucking on lemon sherberts a strong lemon smell its so good! This is my all time fave of my Yankee collection and i NEED a large jar of this.

Beach Flowers - Like it says on the tin (candle) the beach and flowers mixed into one. You have all the floral scents and a hint of the beach. You get undertones of lillies with strong scents of hyacinth. Beautiful blossom smell.

My Sample Candles

These change regularly i am always buying different ones to see which one to get in jar form!

Pink Dragon Fruit - This was in my April faves, it is so tropical and sweet at the same time. The name of the candle is so intriguing it lures you in and smells so divine i have just ran out of this in a large jar but had to get it in a sampler till i can part with near £20 for another.

Strawberry Buttercream - You can smell the icing and the strawberries conjoined together. So sweet and seductive on your taste buds it makes you want a strawberry cake topped with luscious icing. Yum.

Summer Scoop - I just cant get enough of this, i have a little one next to my bed to sniff at night and also a wax burner one in my living room. My house smells so beautiful of summer and icecreams. Is it possible to have an addiction to a candle? I need Yankee rehab.

Vanilla frosting - Already mentioned above.

A child's wish - I personally don't know how you could put a child's wish into a scent but i like the name of the candle. It smells so fresh but floral at the same time. Maybe the 'childs wish' is an image to put into your head of a child playing happily in a meadow of green grass full of beautiful flowers. 

Wax burners/tarts

Garden sweetpea - A sweet floral scent highly of freesia's with undertones of fruity scents like peaches and pears. Beautiful blossom notes.

Sparkling lemon - Again a little like lemon sherberts but more fresh lemonade smelling. The citrus zing just attracts me to it. I love lemon smells its so fresh and zesty.

Fruit Fusion - I love anything fruit smelling eg lemon! But all fruits smell good. This smells of  a fruit smoothie conjoined with berries, oranges hints of lime and the odd strawberries hidden in there. Refreshingly good.

Christmas cupcake - I know its pretty much summer now but i have had this from christmas i had so many of these i had a spare one lingering around. It smells like such a festive treat though. A rich moist vanilla cupcake covered in christmassy goodness.

I hope you like my Yankee collection i do! What are your favourite Yankee scents?
