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.

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

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.
