It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

* Yankee Candles - ScentedCandleShop.com

This has been my first delve into the world of Yankee candles! I always see so many lovely looking ones on Instagram, blogs and Youtube accounts, but for some reason I have never bought one for myself... although I have been to known to send them as gifts (they make good Christmas pressies).

So when The scented Candle Shop got in touch to see if I would like to try out some of their Yankee Candles I was very excited! I chose two very festive scents because I just love all things Christmas related, so Warm Spice and Spiced orange made their way to my doorstep a few days later.

They smell so lovely when you first open the lid, they are very sweet and definitely make me think of Christmas. With a lot of candles I have found that they smell very nice before you burn them but once you light them you can't smell it, but with these candles they make the whole room smell lovely! That's the most important part to me, whether you can smell them when they are burining (although I don't mind a pretty jar).

I would definitely recommend these gorgeous candles, and they are currently on 'Save 10%' so they would be perfect for Christmas presents for family and friends. I would love to know your Yankee candle recommendations!

Strawberry Cream

Recently this has become one of my favourite perfumes! I only bought it a few days ago, but I already love it. It is a strawberry scented perfume (hence the name), that is by the brand of the love hearts sweets.  It has a very sweet, sugary scent and it lasts all day... but the best part, is that it is only £3.33!  Well it's usually £5 but it's on offer in Boots at the moment, but even at £5 I think that is a pretty reasonable price. It also comes in different scents, such as  cherry, vanilla and orange fizz. They come with a pretty little 'Kiss me' charm on them too, but don't worry it is removable if that isn't too your taste.  My Mum bought the orange fizz one and it too smells amazing. On the box it says 'Strawberry Cream + Vanilla bomb = Strawberry sundae' I think that is such a good idea, mixing the scents to create a new sweet scent. I really want to collect all the different scents now!
