AD - My Dream Kitchen Style

Hey beaut's! 

If I could change anything at all about my home right now, it would be my kitchen. It's small, quite dated and although it's in really good condition still, it could definitely do with a face lift and a bit of modernising. I spend a lot of time in my kitchen too, I love cooking and as you probably know if you read my recipes I'm a keen baker, so I'm always dreaming of my perfect kitchen whilst I bake the day away, kind of if money was no object and the space was bigger, so I thought instead of living my constant kitchen dreams through the Sims (lol) I'd write up a little blog post instead.

AD - Summer Bedroom Inspo

Hey beaut's!

I love switching up my decor throughout the seasons, and Summer is the perfect time to get things feeling lighter and brighter, especially in the old boudoir! So with Summer in mind I thought I'd put together a little post of - mostly easy - ways to update your bedroom for the current season, I hope this gives you a little inspiration beaut's!


How To Keep Your Home Warm For Less


There’s nothing worse than getting up in the morning or coming home from work to a cold home. It’s quite frankly miserable to have to wear multiple layers and wrap up in blankets in your own house. While it may seem like an endless battle between keeping your home cosy and trying to keep a lid on your energy bills, there are a number of simple tricks that can make a huge difference to your home’s temperature without breaking the bank! 

Here are some top tips for heating your home and saving money at the same time… 

Curtains 
If you don’t have curtains around your home currently, having them installed is one way to help insulate your rooms. They can be used to your advantage to keep heat in and stop cold air from getting in. Keep your curtains wide open when its sunny to allow the sun and heat to stream in, and firmly shut in the evenings to insulate the warmth already in your room. 

Investing in some long and thick draped curtains that go right to the floor and reach the ends of your windows will ensure no heat escapes or cold air enters underneath. Curtains are a useful temporary solution for homes that may have older window panes or doors with cracks where draughts can creep in.

Smart thermostats 
Another tip is to make the most of advances in boiler and central heating technology. Smart thermostats can be found in many homes across the UK and you should make the most of this. Smart thermostats can be programmed to turn on at certain times of the day or can be triggered by temperature so they kick in or turn off once your home hits a certain temperature. 

Most new boilers nowadays will come with a smart thermostat that can be controlled via a handy app on your phone. BOXT are leading providers and installers of combi boilers in the UK, offering top of the range Worcester Bosch and Vaillant boilers to homes and businesses. Their top priority is customer service and they are renowned for having boilers installed with minimal hassle, as soon as the next day. 

Don’t believe the old wives tale that leaving your central heating on low for longer periods of time is more economical. You should only use your boiler when it’s needed by setting it to come on around half an hour before you get up in the morning or arrive home from work. Doing this means your home is cosy as soon as you walk in but also allows you to avoid overspending on energy bills by having your boiler running constantly. If you have pets, you may want to set your thermostat to turn on for a short period in the middle of the day to make sure your home doesn’t become too chilly for them.

Keep your radiators clear 
Next, try to avoid blocking the heat from your radiators with any furniture. Radiators may not be the best looking items in your home, but placing sofas or other pieces of furniture in front of them will leave you spending more than necessary to keep your home warm. Leaving clothes or towels hung on your radiators to dry will also mean they absorb the heat that should be keeping you warm. Try to keep the areas around your radiator as free as possible to allow the heat to flow freely.

Insulate water tanks and pipes
If your home doesn’t have a combi boiler installed like most do these days, you should try to keep your water tank and pipes as insulated as possible. Minimise the amount of heat lost from your tank by using specially made insulation jackets and make sure your tank is installed in a space that isn’t prone to draughts. 

Pipe lagging can also make a difference by preventing heat from escaping on the journey from your boiler to the radiators around your home. Foam lagging can be found in any DIY store and is easy to fit. 

Draught-proof your home 
If you live in an older or period home, draught-proofing is essential to stop your energy bills from going through the roof. Check around your floorboards, window panes, door frames and more for any cracks or gaps where cold air can creep in. There are plenty of DIY options for preventing draughts like floorboard filler, rubber window seals, under-door draught excluders and more. You will notice a difference in the overall temperature of your home by stopping any pesky draughts from finding their way in. 

Heat reflectors
A final but still important tip for keeping a warm home for less is to place thin sheets of foil behind your radiators. This reflects the heat produced by your radiators into the room, rather than letting it hit the wall and be absorbed.

5 Ways To Update Your Home For Spring!

 Image Source 
Hey beaut's!

Spring is creeping ever closer and I cant tell you how happy I am about that, don't get me wrong I love autumn and the crisp'ness of winter but I just want to see trees full of leaves again, flowers in bloom and slighter warmer temperatures wouldn't go a miss either! With Spring in mind I thought I'd put together a little post of 5 - mostly easy - ways to update your home for the new season ahead!

Introduce Colour and Pattern
One of the easiest ways to update your home through the seasons is by adding some colour or new patterns, this could be a fresh lick of paint, adding a feature wall to a room, or better still just replace cushion covers and throws for lighter fabrics and add pops of colour that way, that is actually my go to 'switch-up' hack through the seasons, I do it every time and it works a treat!

Bring The Outside In
When I think of Spring I do immediately think of flowers in bloom and it might only be February but I've already been buying Daffodils, I just love them! Popping a couple of vases of Daff's or Tulips around your home not only adds an instant yet super easy pop of colour but it gives your home a Spring time feel! 

New Windows
Arhhh windows, obviously this can be a big job but new windows can make a big in pact on how your home looks and feels from the outside and in and can add a lot of value to your home too, and what better time to make the update than during springtime when you want your home to feel bright and airy! If you are looking to make the change Tuffx Glass is the place to look, they're huge toughened glass suppliers in the UK with over 25 years manufacturing experience, supplying places like M&S, Edinburgh Zoo, Next and of course not forgetting our homes! They have everything from glass balustrades and balconies to conservatory glass and fixed roof lights, the choice is endless!
Use Lighter Fabrics In Your Bedroom
Put that teddy bedding away and fold up those thick heavy throws and replace them with lighter cotton sheets or some linen. I also love keeping things quite neutral in colour when it comes to my bedding during Spring, it just add a soft, delicate feel!

Give The Garden A Spruce Up.
I don't know about you but our garden gets severely neglected over the autumn/winter period, so its time for a well needed spruce up! You can freshen up your pots buy giving them a paint and it's the perfect time to plant your bulbs ready for Spring/Summer! I also like to grab a couple of Spring hanging baskets as they add a nice pop of colour! Also give your patio some TLC, get the table and chairs back out ready for those sunny Spring mornings, add some fairy lights around the garden and fill up those bird feeders!  

Are you thinking of giving your a home a little Spring update? What are you wanting to change? I'd love to know!

My Favourite/Dream Bathrooms Trends!

Hey beaut's!

I think the bathroom is one room in my home that I wish I had multiples of because I have so many bathroom interior ideas, and when you only have the one bathroom it's hard to choose from all the trends that I love! We recently had our bathroom re-done in our home and I love it, I think my favourite looks and trends for UK bathrooms is quite minimal, clean looking and basic, so that's what we went for in ours, I love white and grey tones with hints of green from plants however, I thought I'd share a few other trends/ideas that I have if money and space was no object. 

Free Standing Bath - I mean how beautiful are free standing baths, it's actually on my interior bucket list to one day be the proud owner of a free standing tub! I just think they look so luxurious and timeless with their roll top, gorgeous shape and most have the stunning Victorian looking feet, their just so aesthetically pleasing and whacking in a bath bomb in one of those is my idea of heaven. 

Overhead Shower - Although we updated our shower when we had our bathroom done to a more modern looking one, the goal is to one day have a trendy looking overhead shower,  I'm actually sooo jealous of people who have one. I'm talking a large square one which is  actually installed and running from the ceiling, not only do they look flipping amazing but I can you just image how amazing having a shower with one would be. 

Statement Tiles - Yes I'm that girl that loves a marble tile or two, I adore grey and white together so marble tiles are my idea of heaven as they look amazing on the floor as well as on the walls however...Something a little bit different for me is a delicate pink tile, if I had another bathroom I'd go for delicate pink herringbone tiles with gold hardware and maybe add touches of navy!

As Many Plants As Possible - A huge bathroom trend is to add plenty of greenery with plants whether they're real or fake and I'm totally living for it! I have a few plants in my bathroom as their perfect for adding a bit of character but they also easily fill a gap on a shelf or in a corner, I particularly like plants in the bathroom that either hang from a corner on the ceiling or trailing plants. Good plants to for - for a bathroom are Ivy, Aloe Vero, Spider Plants and Bosten Ferns.  

Column Radiators - I'm so happy that column radiators are trendy again as I blooming well love them, I think the smaller they are the more gorgeous they look so a bathroom is the perfect place for a smaller column radiator. I also much prefer the look of those than a heated towel rail! 

Wow this post has really made me want to get decorating again (please don't tell my boyfriend he he). What bathroom trends do you love beaut's? Do you have any of these already? I'd love to know.

Whiffy Wax Candle & Wax Melts Review!


Hey beaut's!

If you've read my blog for a while then you'll know that I love to scent my home and recently I gave some wax melts from Whiffy Wax a whirl and couldn't believe how good they where, the scent throw was amazing, they don't break the bank and the amount of scents they have to choose from in phenomenal, even my boyfriends been loving them! Whilst browsing on the Whiffy Wax website I noticed they actually sell designer wax melts that smell like your favourite perfumes, say what!!! Obviously I had to try these ASAP along with one of their jar candles! 

Their are so many perfume inspired wax melts to choose from, I opted for..... 
Daisy - Marc Jacob's Daisy perfume is one of my all time favourites so I just had to try this one, its fresh and super floral and honestly it smells EXACTLY like the perfume!
Ghost - This one is inspired by Ghost The Fragrance and again smells just like perfume, it's fresh and floral with hints of vanilla and apricot which give it a slight sweet kick which I love! 
Decadence - This one is inspired by Marc Jacobs Decadence perfume and having never tried that scent before I didn't know what to expect, it's quite musky and woody and I could see a lot of men liking this one!
Narcisse - Inspired by Chloe Narcisse this one is dominated by daffodils. This scent is super  feminine, sweet, and slightly fruity, I absolutely love it!.
Whiffy Wax also sell candles which come in little glass jar's which are so cute and kitch, they have five different scents to choose from within the candle range and obviously my sweet, sugar loving self got the better of me and I picked out Warm Vanilla & Demerara to try! Warm Vanilla & Demerara is made up of notes of sweet brown sugar, vanilla and musk so as you can imagine it smells good enough to eat and the scent throw is great, it fills my entire house within minutes without being overpowering or sickly, I'm obsessed! The candles are available in two sizes, 60ml which is the smallest candle and has an approximate burn time of 13 hours, and theres a larger 120ml candle which has an approximate burn time of 25 hours. The smaller candle comes in at £5.00 and the larger one is £8.00 so again these are super affordable yet amazing quality!

I seriously cant wait for the Autumn/Winter scents to be released, as you know I'm a huge Autumn/Winter lover and my candle and wax melt addiction gets even bigger then, arhh I actually cant wait!

4 Ways To Update Your Home!

Hey beaut's!

I've really been into decorating mine and my boyfriends house recently, freshening things up with a lick of paint and having a new bathroom put in have been the main things we've done but it got me thinking of how changing some simple things in your home can make a huge difference, so I thought I'd share them today! 

Add Some New Decor
A simple way to update your home is with some new decor or adding a new colour scheme with things like pillows and throws, it freshens things up and can give a whole new feel to your home! Even if you don't really want to splash out on anything new then have a little switch around of the decor you already have, maybe use something you had in your lounge and move it into your bedroom or vice-versa!  

A Lick Of Paint
A new paint job can drastically change the vibe of any room in your house, whether it means painting the entire room or just adding a new colour on one wall as a feature wall, it really makes a difference! We recently painted all the way from my downstairs entrance, up my stairs and onto my landing and I honestly cant believe how amazing it looks, I went for grey and it looks so fresh, clean and modern, I love it! 

New Flooring
Now onto flooring, obviously this can be a big job but new flooring can make a big in pact on how you home looks and feels, it really adds that wow factor and flooring just completes any room your decorating really doesn't it! I don't know about you but I love the look of Engineered Wood FlooringEngineered wood flooring is a fantastic alternative to solid wood, it has the same high quality finish and beautiful look as solid wood, but is lower maintenance and more durable in the face of moisture or heat. Flooring 365 actually provide high quality engineered wood flooring to people in the UK, with so many different options to choose from at competitive prices, personally I'm swooning over their grey oak style, oh I can just imagine it in all it's glory with a fluffy white rug on top, lush! Engineered wood flooring is also a lot easier to keep clean and maintain, meaning its perfect if you have children or pets as you don't have the worry of staining, and any spillages whether its food or drink are so easy to completely clean up!

Adding Some Art
You honestly don't realise how popping some art or even a family photo on the wall can really switch things up in your home, it can turn that boring blank space on your wall into something quite magical! If you wanted to go the whole hog then a fancy feature wall would really make an in pact!

Are you thinking of giving your a home a little update? What are you wanting to change? I'd love to know!

Home Improvements I Want To Make + A Few Dream Ones!

Hey beaut's!

Me and my boyfriend have been living in our little home for nearly seven years now and even though we have given all the rooms a lick of paint since living here I feel like my interior style has totally changed over the years and I have a few rooms that I'd love to re-do, so today I thought it would be nice to share the things I have planned and also a few little dream idea's which may have to just stay as dreams for now he he!

Spare Room - One of my favourite rooms in our house is actually our spare room, we completely revamped this last year and changed it from the 'junk room' to an office space! We gave the walls a lick of grey paint and bought all white furniture and it ended up looking incredible! It's made the room look so clean and crisp and somehow it makes the room look much bigger to, the only finishing touches that the room needs is some replacement aluminium windows oooohh or some of those fancy white shutters, they are so dreamy and I'd love to have them in the entire house!


Bedroom - I'm pretty happy with our bedroom, it's cream with a warm cosy vibe going on and we ended up replacing a lot of the furniture in their too last year, the only thing I'd LOVE now is one of those fabric/velvet beds with a huge headboard, I've been wanting one of those for such a long time so I think I'm going to have to sweet talk the boyfriend a bit more for one of those he he!


Kitchen - I think the biggest thing I'd love to change in our house is the kitchen, I would literally love to rip the entire thing out and start from scratch! My kitchen of dreams would have a fancy range cooker because they look epic, one of those American style double fridges which are massive - they look amazing don't they! I'd then love the room to be painted white maybe with some white tiles thrown on the walls with light grey cupboards and marble work tops, I'm talking kicthen goals right now aren't I! To complete my dream kitchen I'd love an island in the middle, I've always loved the look of those islands so I think I'd have to have one of those in my dream kitchen!


Lounge - Our lounge was given a lick of paint earlier this year and we changed our feature wall of wallpaper in their too, we also got the most amazing corner sofa and a new dining table and chairs, the only thing missing for me is a real fireplace or wood burner for the autumn/winter months! We have a fake fireplace and although it's pretty it doesn't beat the rustic look of the real thing, my Mum and Dad actually had a wood burner fitted in their lounge and it looks so nice so that's something I would like to change if I could!


Hallway - The final thing on my to-do list is the downstairs hallway that leads up the stairs and onto the landing! Again I'd love to go for grey walls but I'd love to add a botanical feel with some plants, they would have to be fake plants of course because I've killed every living plant I've ever bought, and I'd go for some prints on the walls leading up the stairs and maybe some copper decor! This is definitely something I plan on doing pretty soon so watch this space hehe! 


What dream home improvements would you make if you could beaut's? I'd love to know!

Aequill Orange & Ylang Ylang Candle Review

Hey beaut's!

If you've read my blog for a while you'll probably know I'm a huge candle lover, I've even been given the name 'crazy candle lady' by my family, I'm just obsessed and literally have a candle burning everyday in my house because not only does my house then smell amazing  but I find candles are just so inviting and homely. I've been trying to move away from the autumnal, warming scents recently and have more Spring/Summer vibes going on because lets face it, I'm fed up of this cold miserable weather so anything that's going to give me a pick me up I'm all about right now and Aequill's Orange & Ylang Ylang Candle* has been doing just that!
The Orange & Ylang Ylang Candle is so lovely and smells quite classy and spa like, it contains Bergamot, Sweet Orange, Ylang Ylang and a Lavender essential oil blend which create such a calming, soft yet sweet scent which is right up my street. The orange within the candle is quite sweet and uplifting yet the ylang ylang and the lavender really have a calming effect, it's a great all rounder candle really! The scent throw is really good and fills the house within minutes of being lit but it's not overpowering in the slightest. The burn time is impressive too, I have the 100g travel size candle which claims to burn for up to 16 hours which is pretty good going for something travel sized hey!
What draws me in to Aequill's candles so much is their 'green' vibe, all of the Aequill candles are hand poured into 100% recycled - mouth blown glass jars with a non-toxic, lead free cotton wick, you can even send back your jars once you have burnt the candle and have them refilled at a discounted rate which I think is pretty epic and something I've never heard of before. I also love how the outer cardboard box is hand-stamped with a wax seal, it's such a lovely touch and looks so well presented if your buying the candle for a gift.
You can find the Aequill Orange & Ylang Ylang Travel Size Candle for £16.00 HERE or the larger 200g size for £26.00 HERE.

Living Room Wishlist/Inspo

Hey beaut's!

I absolutely adore homeware, I think personalising my house with bits and bobs I love is one of the best things about being a home owner, I could literally spend hours shopping for homeware which got me thinking.... I need to have a bit of a Spring time revamp and get a bit of inspo on what I could do or add to my lounge next.

We are in desperate need for a new leather sofa, ours is pretty much dead and it's brown so I'm definitely after something more bright and fresh looking. I keep being drawn towards anything with cactus's on at the moment too, it doesn't matter if it's homeware or clothes, if theres a cute cactus on it I want it. I'm also still after one of the letter light up boxes too, I think their so cute and would look lovely in my lounge.

Whats on your living room wishlist at the moment beaut's? I'd love to know!

Copper and Rose Gold 'EVERYTHING' seems to be so popular at the moment and I can see why, because it's blooming well gorgeous!

Homeware Wishlist ♥

Hey beaut's!

 I just LOVE homeware!!! Since me and my boyfriend moved into our house 4 years ago I've been rather obsessed with buying things for our home. Gone are the days when I'd spend all my money on clothes, now I just buy silly amounts of homeware. Im actually lusting after so many pretty things right now so I thought I'd do my very first homeware wishlist and share with you all what I'm after. I have so admit at the top of my wishlist is the beautiful White Dressing Table Collection from Dunelm, I'm actually in the middle of convincing my boyfriend that we need all new furtinure in our bedroom so Im hoping I'll being able to get that gorgeous little set sometime soon hehe

Autumn/Winter Yankee Candle Wishlist

Autumn/Winter Yankee Candle Wishlist
Hey beaut's!

It's that time of the year again when I turn into the crazy candle ladie ha ha, theres something so cosy and warming about burning candles during the Autumn/Winter isn't there, they just look so pretty on those dark autumnal nights and the spicy, warming scents are just amazing! Anywhoooo... Today I thought I'd share a few of the Yankee Candles that I've had my eye on and that I plan on purchasing very soon! 


Halloween 'Candy Corn'
I've never bought one of the special edition Halloween Yankee Candles before but Candy Corn has really caught my eye, I just love the decorative jar and the scent is said to be 'The familiar, sweet scent that is a fond reminder of Halloween fun and treats' arhh I want!


Christmas Cookie
Christmas Cookie is an absolute classic that I'm sure is on every ones wish list, its comes out ever year without fail and to be honest it just wouldn't be right if I didn't pick one of these up soon. I just love the buttery rich, vanilla, holiday sugar cookie scent, its amazing!


Fireside Treats
An absolute favourite of mine is Fireside Treats, it is available all year round but its definitely best suited for the Autumn/Winter, it smells exactly like your toasting marshmallows by the fire on a cold crisp day, its soooo nice.


Apple Pumpkin
Apple Pumpkin is a new scent I believe as I haven't seen it in previous years but it sounds amazing, it's said to fill your home with delicious warmth and smells slightly sweet, with earthy notes from the pumpkin and clove, with a little bit of spiced apple added to, oh my goodness how autumnal is that, I need it like now!!!!


Candy Cane Lane
Candy Cane Lane is new to Yankee Candle this Christmas and I recently bought a sampler and fell in love. As the name would suggest it smells just like peppermint candy canes but has a sweet cookie and creamy vanilla icing twist which is just divine.


Cinnamon Stick
Another classic that I just have to buy every year is Cinnamon Stick, I think I went through 2-3 of the large jars last year as I love it so much, if your looking for an extremely warming candle for your home this autumn/winter then Cinnamon Stick is the candle for you.


Ghostly Treats
Ghostly treats sounds very similar to Fireside Treats because they both share that toasted marshmallow scent, but I really want these little tea lights to burn on Halloween and to put inside my pumpkins, hopefully I cant track them down at the weekend he he.

There you have it beaut's, just a few Yankee Candles that I NEED and must have during this Autumn/Winter, I literally could go on and on so maybe I'll do another one of these little posts soon or I'll do a haul if I go abit candle crazy hehe.

What are your Yankee Candles do you burn during the Autumn/Winter months beaut's?? I'd love to know!

Yankee Candle Wishlist | Spring/Summer 2014

Yankee Candle Wishlist | Spring/Summer 2014

Hey girlie's!!!

You will probably know this already but I'm a huge Yankee Candle fan, well who isn't ha ha, I just cant get enough of them, just call me the crazy candle lady, I don't mind he he!!! Anyway today I thought I'd share with you all what Yankee Candles I'm currently lusting after for the spring/summer month's ahead, it's always nice to treat yourself to a few new candles for around the house when the seasons change and I've really been looking forward to the more refreshing, fruity scents that come out at this time of year and I must admit I've gone for quite a few different scents this year that Ive never tried before....

Black Coconut £19.99
I LOVE the smell of coconut and Black Coconut has quite a heavy, rich coconut scent to it which makes me think of holidays abroad on some exotic, paradise island, I can dream I guess ha ha.


Raspberry Sorbet £19.99
Mmm raspberry sorbet...Yum!! I cant think wait to buy this one again, it has a rather strong, berry scent and really does fill the whole house with its delicious fragrance, it really lingers too after blowing it out which I think is super nice.


Bahama Breeze £19.99
Bahama Breeze is definitely one to burn in the summer, it has a cool, tropical combination of pineapple, grapefruit and mango, I've actually given this a whiff in the shop and it reminds me of some sort of tropical cocktail mm mm, if your a fan of the fruity scents you'll love this one.


Under The Palms £19.99
Under The Palms got my attention again because of its coconut scent, it also contains sea grass and palm leaves. I think this will certainly get you in the holiday spirit he he.


Classic 9 Melts £10.99
I think this set of sampler melts is a great idea if your stuck on which spring time scent to choose and I want it so bad, at least you can try a little bit of everything then and not miss out he he. The floral set comes with Lovely Kiku, Pink Hibiscus, Midnight Jasmine, French Lavender, Fresh Cut Roses, Beach Flower, Loves me, loves me not and A Child's Wish.


A Child's Wish £16.99
The description of this candle really lured me in 'A warm breeze of soft flowers and fresh green fields captures the sweet innocence of childhood days playing in the backyard.' It really reminds me of when I was younger so I certainly want to give this one a cheeky little purchase.


April Showers £16.99
Wow this Yankee Candle looks amazing... I must admit it's the candles multi coloured swirl effect that basically has me lusting after this one, however it's scent of a blend of tulips and refreshing meadow showers sounds lovely too and seems like the perfect spring time candle.

And there you have it, the Yankee Candles I'm currently lusting after for  spring/summer!!! Are you beaut's addicted to Yankee Candles like me he he?? What are your favourites for spring/summer?? I'd love to know.

Yankee Candle 'Wishlist'

Hey girlie's!!!

You will probably know this already if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter but if not then I'm a huge Yankee Candle fan, I just cant get enough of them!!! So today I thought I'd share with you all what Yankee Candles I'm currently lusting after, I've been looking forward to the spring/summer candles coming back out, its so nice and refreshing after all those deep spicy festive scents isn't it? 

Bunny Cake
Firstly I have to start with this beaut of a candle, Bunny Cake!!! I think its so nice that Yankee Candle have decided to bring some Easter themed candles out this year, I don't remember them doing that last year. Bunny Cake is described as having a creamy vanilla, sugary coconut cake scent that I can only imagine will make your house smell amazing. 


Sweet Pink
Sweet Pink is from Yankee Candles new Dream Garden Spring Collection and I have to say it looks lovely. It's a two wick glass tumbler style candle which I think makes a nice change to the usual Yankee Candle glass jars and claims to smell sweet, romantic and floral, I think this will be a gorgeous spring time candle that I'll need to buy he he.

Honey Blossom
This candle is definitely one that's perfect to burn now as it has a deep musky/woody scent to it that can be a reminder of the colder month's whilst having a slight fresh kick to it representing spring time, I think the jar looks really pretty too.


Summer Scoop
I remember getting a sampler of this last summer and loving it so I'm definitely going to pick the larger jar up this year, its smells just like strawberry ice cream so it's definitely one of those candles to burn on a nice summers day. 



White Chocolate Bunnies
The second Easter themed candle I'm after is White Chocolate Bunnies, how sweet. Yankee candle describe the scent as a creamy, sweet white chocolate scent with a touch of vanilla, quite frankly that sounds scrumptious to me he he.



And there you have it, the 5 Yankee Candles I'm currently lusting after!!! Are you girlie's addicted to Yankee Candles like me he he?? What are your favourites for spring/summer?? I'd love to know.
