car jars.

always like to have an air-freshener in my car, and since my last one ran out i haven't got around to getting another one.  so i've started looking around- i want a yummy flavour to fill my nose whilst driving to friend's houses, work, town etc.

as i love my yankee candle products, i've just been onto yankee direct and they have so many car air-freshener flavours to choose from!  do i go for vanilla cupcake, beach walk, coconut bay..?!  SO much choice!  there are also many, many types of fresheners to choose from!  from car jar ultimates to car vent sticks to travel tins. :-)

i'll let you know which one i choose and how i get on with it!

let me know whether you've tried any of these and if you have a favourite flavour!

competition!

take a look at this halloween prize draw on the yankee candle UK site!

enter for the chance to win 'witches brew' and 'candy corn' candles!  i am definitely putting an entry in -a chance for free candles; i'm there of course :-)

i'm back.

having had and been successful in an exam this morning, i am able to get back to doing a bit more blogging again!

have definitely missed not being able to blog as much as usual on candles and other such things which take my fancy, however, hard work paying off is such a good feeling!  my best tip of the day is that if you're feeling slightly disillusioned at the thought of doing any more revision/work towards say an exam or test.. try and push through that feeling- you'll kick yourself more knowing you hadn't done everything you could of.

"My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment." -Oprah Winfrey

wise words from Oprah, and just remember trying and potentially and failing is so much better than not trying at all; just think of what you could of had.

perfect evening.

love we heart it.

google.

top on google for the 'candleholic' search!  oooh :-)

more celeb candleholics!

Gem from TOWIE loves her candles too!

dinner party at gemma's from wednesday's episode!

candles give such a cute & sophisticated atmosphere at dinner parties :-)

new things.

just sharing a picture of my new purchases from the weekend -it's taken me ages to get around to putting this up, sorry!

the purchases obviously included a little candle, this time kitchen spice, which has such a deep, rich scent to it! completely reminded me of the oranges you make at christmas that have the cloves in -a real autumn/winter candle! gives off the real impression you are in the kitchen baking, so the name of this candle is pretty much perfect!

my other spends include a peplum top, a floaty, silk number, two chunky, gold necklaces and a cute essie nail polish!

I've wanted a peplum top for ages, as love the shape they have to them, and think they dress up a pair of jeans for an evening out perfectly!  i purchased mine from miss selfridge -an old favorite!

the necklaces are from h&m -not the usual place i would go for jewellery, however, i'm glad i did this time! having scoured the shops for a while now to find some new necklaces, there has been nothing which i absolutely love -until now! i'm wearing the leaf necklace today, which is dressing up my work outfit and simulating autumn all at the same time! :-)

finally- the nail polish. i first saw essie on lauren conrad's instagram, so decided to pop out and get myself some. the first essie i purchased was a turquoise colour (called turquoise & caicos) and the first time i put it on it lasted well over a week! not chipping/smudging your nails after painting is the most difficult thing, so i was definitely impressed with the make. this purpley-dark brown colour is my next purchase, and is just the colour i've been looking for, for a while now! it's called wicked, and i'll update you as to how it looks soon!

heaven.

this place looks amazing...

heaven.

all gone.

my last red velvet tea-light! :-(

definitely need to get some more of these -love how radiant they are once lit!  & they give off a really warm, bright glow which is just what you want on these dark-autumn evenings!

i also desperately want to try the red velvet frozen yogurts from red mango!  gimme'

mandles.

candles aren't just for girls!

this is a mandle!  (formerly known as a man-candle!)

urban dictionary describes the mandle..

“A candle scented specifically for a man's tastes. Instead of a typical, womanly, scent, such as roses or perfumes, a mandle might smell like coffee or tobacco. 

e.g. I just bought five mandles that smell like WD-40!”

yankee candles have brought out these wonderful inventions so as men can join in with the candle craze too!  how kind!  8)

this article from the guardian gives a tongue-in-cheek review of the new mandles which include 2x4 (shown below), first down, man town and riding mower.

the boyfriend knows what he's gonna' be getting for christmas now!

oh october.

kinda feeling autumn this year- watching the leaves changing colour, snuggles, delicious candles, brisk air, warm jumpers, pumpkin latte's, fireworks, bonfires, evenings in, counting down to christmas, holding hands, sparklers, milky sunlight, cozyness, walks in the woods, fireplaces, toffee apples, new coats, pretty scarves & mulled wine.

p.s. what do you love about autumn?

somebody turn the lights on, somebody tell me how long, all this darkness will surround you, 'cause I'm burning for you, burning like a candle. ♥
