Yankee Candle Review: Vanilla Lime (Large Jar & Large Tumbler)


Today's candle review is a two for one with Vanilla Lime for Yankee Candle in both the large 22oz single wick jar and the large 22oz double wick tumbler.  I ordered these straight from the company's website.  They each retail for $27.99, but they often have sales to get the price much lower.

Official Scent Description: Smooth and refreshing - the creamy richness of vanilla with sweet cane sugar and a zesty lime twist.

Bath and Body Works: Candle Haul


I was almost thankful that I didn't find the majority of the spring and summer scents appealing this time.  I swear that it was all either florals, sun tan lotion coconut, peaches, mangoes, or sickly sweet scents.  Those are just not my thing, and my wallet was happy about it. 

I was mainly waiting for the prices to drop so that I could get my hands on another Summer Boardwalk.  Lo and behold, they did, and that's why you see three in the picture there.  Haha!

Here are the candles with scent descriptions and cold impressions that I picked up from the Summer SAS (Semi Annual Sale) from Bath and Body Works.

My Candle Collection


My candle collection is the biggest that it's ever been at the moment since the semi annual sales just ended.  I don't usually keep this many on hand.  Wow!  Luckily, I burn through them quite quickly.

Goose Creek: Old Time Lemonade (Candle Review)



Today's candle review is of Old Time Lemonade in a 16oz medium 2 wick jar from Goose Creek Candles.  I bought this one straight from the company's website. It retails for $24.99, but they often have sales.  Many people are even able to find them for great prices at stores like Burlington Coat Factory.

Official Scent Description:  The thirst quenching, bitter sweet aroma of a freshly squeezed glass of lemonade.

My Wax Melt Collection


Ever wonder what my crazy hoard of wax melts might look like?  Go on.  Admit it.  We're all a little "nosy." HAHA! I'll stop.

Wax of the Day: Goose Creek - Grapefruit Mandarin (With Review)


Today, I am melting Grapefruit Mandarin from Goose Creek Candles.  I picked this one up from their official website.  They usually retail for about $4.00, but they often have good sales.

Official Scent Description:   Delight your senses in this fresh, invigorating blend as juicy grapefruit, orange and cassis mingle together with a vibrant bouquet of cyclamen, violet leaf, black currant and musk.

Coffee House Collection from Big Lots (Candle Review)


Today, I have my review of the Coffee House Collection of candles from Big Lots.  I purchased the 15oz double wick tumblers, but these are also available in single wick mason jar candles.

There are four scents in the collection:  Caramel Macchiato, Vanilla Spice Latte, Hazelnut Cappuccino, and Raspberry Mocha.
