October: Lately I've been Loving

I've been coming home these autumnal nights and drawing the curtains, putting the heating on and lighting up some candles (these are my favourite ones although I don't burn them all at once usually!)


L-R - Rosslyn Teacup Candle (review), St Eval's Sea Salt Candle (review), Blossom & Jasmine candle in a chic black glass. This one is Divine - scented with Lemon & Rose - for inner energy. Great for relaxation and easing away anxiety and sadness. A simply gorgeous scent! Neom Refresh travel candle with Sicilian Lemon and Fresh Basil - a fresh and pure scented candle. Jo Malone Red Roses Candle - one of my favourite Jo Malone scents - you only need to burn for a couple of hours for a deep scent lasting well into the next day. Bubb & DIMPLES Breathe Nourishing Body Oil Candle* (review), Melt Verbena & Clary Sage Candle* (review) and M&J London El Capitan Candle* (review).



Delicious cinnamon donuts and a Latte from Crumbs of Portobello - a tasty little snack to have while walking the dog some weekends. 



Reading more books! I actually read 5 this month!  A first and all really enjoyable. Reviews up later.



Hairy Jayne shampoos and conditioners - I picked up the Taster Kit - see here. I'm loving both the shampoos (Deep Cleansing and Nourishing) and the conditioners (Cream and Light). They all just work on my hair and they smell simply gorgeous - they are scented with geranium, bergamot and vanilla.  I'll be buying the full sizes soon.



I had a holiday from work last week - something really decadent about drinking some yummy Prosecco outside in the October sunshine.



Nuxe Reve de Miel Hand & Nail Cream 75ml - I'm going through a lot of hand cream these colder days. This Nuxe one is a favourite having this month used up a mini size. Super moisturising and it smells delicious - scented with honey and packed full of nourishing oils.

What are you loving this month?

  4. I've been enjoying candles this past week and will shop for more over the weekend. No specific brands, as long as I like the fragrance. I really must get a tube of Nuxe Rêve de Miel hand cream, weird that I haven't tried it yet. :)

  8. Ooooh that all looks fab! Especially the cinnamon donuts, nom nom! I've been loving my Salted Caramel Yankee candle just recently. It seems just like someone has been baking in my house, which is a real bonus as I can't bake for toffee! These cold autumnal evenings just want to make you curl up on the sofa don't they! x
