A festive Yankee Candle haul...

I couldn’t help myself, payday for me usually involves a making a purchase in the Yankee Candle store. I normally opt for the larger jars as they last the longest but because they released their Halloween and Christmas collections I thought I would go WILD and buy the limited edition scents. I opted for the Wax Tarts as they are the cheapest at around 99p, this allowed me to buy a good few without my card hating me. This is a good way of trying out different scents without committing to the full sized jar as they can be quite pricey.

I purchased two of the most popular halloween scents out of the four. The first Halloween scent I purchased was the most recommended and that is Ghostly Treats (£1.15). This smells like freshly toasted marshmallows. I will be burning this first I think. The other one is Candy Corn, in America there is a sweet called ‘Candy Corn’ and so the Candy Corn (£1.15) candle supposedly smells like that. To me it smells like a mixture of honey and caramelised sugar, quite pungent but very autumnal. I also like the fact it is  orange. 

I had quite a big list for the Christmas scents but many of them were sold out unfortunately. Luckily I was still able to get the others I had wanted. Snowflake Cookie (£1.20) smells just like sugary icing, I adore the muted pink colour of it. Red Apple Wreath (£0.99) smells like crisp red apples and cinnamon, very Christmassy. Candy Cane Lane (£0.99) smells like a mixture of peppermint and vanilla and finally I also picked up Christmas Eve (£0.99) which smells warm and very fruity, I am excited to burn this on the 24th! The other Christmas ones I still need to buy are Angel Wings (£0.99) and Christmas Garland (£0.99).

Two other wax tarts I picked up were Fireside Treats (£0.99) which again smells like toasted marshmallows and Wedding Day (£0.99) which smells like freshly cut roses with a hint of fruit. These two are available all year round.
I can’t wait to start using them, I will be burning Ghostly Treats first. The wax tarts last around 8 hours but as with the majority of yankee candles you only need to take the wrapper/lid off and the scent is dispersed throughout the whole room. I will be using a quarter of each tart at a time, this allows me to change the scent up often without wasting it. Also the good thing about a tart burner is you can mix together many different wax tarts and make a whole new scent.
I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know if you have purchased any Yankee Candles or if you are going to?

Festive Yankee Candles!

Hello! Hope you are all well. As you can tell unfortunately I can’t take part in Blogmas this year, really gutted but I didn’t realise how busy I am.

How is the weather where you are, there is a storm here! Nothing like being cosy with a movie, popcorn and some festive candles! I wouldn’t say I’m new to Yankee Candles but I have never really been able to justify spending all that money on a candle and have settled for the little sampler candles and wax tarts instead.

Yankee Candle: Christmas Cookie

This candle was my first ever actual candle jar purchase and I went for the large jar! I purchased it this time last year and never burnt it till this year. The large jar has lasted a pretty long time the actual burning time is 110-150 hours. It is a great scent for this time of year very relaxing. Aptly named this candle I’d say smells exactly like vanilla icing! 

Yankee Candle: Sugared Apple

I purchased this candle a few days ago and have been burning it since. I didn’t realise how little it was until I received it. I now totally think the bigger jars are worth the money. It’s not as strong as the Christmas Cookie candle but does leave a subtle scent if that makes sense?! It smells similar to an apple pie and is quite a warming scent.

I would shop around for Yankee Candles as some places are cheaper than others. eBay always has a range at a discounted price, so you can often be able to grab a bargain!

I hope you enjoyed this post of my current favourite candles! Do you have any suggestions, if so please let me now in the comments!
