A week or two ago an e-mail from Yankee Candle popped up in my inbox announcing their $1 sale, and well, I'm sure you've already figured it out by now that I couldn't pass that deal up (and there are still a bunch of great deals on their website if you want to cash in on the sale, too!)! Unfortunately, there isn't a Yankee Candle nearby me anymore so I often miss out on the cute spring scents that are released, so I made a point to grab some candles that I have wanted to try for a long time. Here's what I got...
The first four votives are White Chocolate Apple - a sugary sweet apple scent, Cotton Candy - which smells just like you'd expect it to, Bunny Cake - a yummy mixture of coconut, citrus and vanilla, and Blue Summer Sky - a fresh scent with hints of ginger, berries, blue lotus, jasmine and orange blossom. I love all of these and can't wait to burn them!
The last 3 votives I got are Marshmallow Chicks - a deliciously marshmallow scented candle. I don't eat marshmallows because I'm a vegetarian (marshmallows have gelatin in them) but I'll happily get my fix this way! Salt Water Taffy - A spot on salt water taffy scent! I picked this up because salt water taffy is a favorite of my husband's. And lastly, Wild Sea Grass - the most different scent of all of these votives, it smells fresh like summer and salt air!
And lastly, even though my husband despises car fresheners, I like to use them now and then, and for a $1 - you know I'm going to get some. I picked up Picnic in the Park and Ocean Star, neither of which can I smell through the packaging so we'll see how good they are when they're unleashed in my ride!
What are your favorite Yankee Candle scents? Let me know!
One of my favorite parts of getting ready for the day is choosing which perfume I want to wear. I'm as self-confessed perfume addict and my collection is quite expansive (although I'm trying not to let it grow at all!) so the choice of what to wear each day is between quite a few options. (Click here to see a snippet of my perfume collection)
One factor that heavily impacts my decision for what perfume to wear is the season. I firmly believe that there are certain perfumes that are just not meant to be worn in every season. For example, I tend towards musky vanilla scents in the winter and gravitate towards more fruity, floral scents in spring and summer. The three scents seen above are my top 3 picks that are perfect for the spring season, and oddly enough they're all celebrity perfumes.
Katy Perry Purr - This Katy Perry perfume debuted in 2010, and I've got just a traveler size (the actual bottle is much cuter). Purr is sweet and fruity with notes of peach and apple. This is a perfume that is very sweet, while still remaining mature and sexy... a combo that's often hard to come by.
Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy - Another oldie, I've had Midnight Fantasy in my collection for years, and for good reason. It's sweet with hints of vanilla, and it lasts literally all day long. Just a couple spritzes to the wrist and neck and you'll smell amazingly sweet and feminine all day long.
SJP NYC - SJP NYC is a Sarah Jessica Parker perfume. The second I smelled this scent, I knew I had to have it. It's ultra sweet, characterized by mandarin and strawberry and an undertone of musk which is very light. Of all three perfumes, this is easily the sweetest.
