Holiday Buys: Candles

I adore scented candles and the ones from St Eval's are beautiful. I'm a huge fan of their Sea Salt Candle tins. See my review HERE.

I picked up a Sea Salt Candle from the Constantine Collection which comes in this cute little white pot and has a burn time of 30 hours. The second one from St Eval's is their Vintage Rose scented candle which is a heady mix of powdery roses and peonies. This has a burn time of up to 20 hours.

My final pick is Sapooni's Cornish Hedgerows which has a 20 hours burn time. This is scented with wild grasses, hedgerow flowers, brambles, heather and honeysuckle with a hint of hawthorn. It also has a sprinkle of glitter on top.

Arran Aromatics Giveaway: Love Christmas Candle Cracker

Arran Aromatics was founded in 1989 by Janet and Iain Russell at home. The business quickly grew and they moved to Home Farm, an old dairy farm for Brodick Castle on the Isle of Arran.

The Home Fragrance range was launched in 1997. One of my favourite candles is their Perfumer Just Grapefruit Candle.

Arran Aromatics are celebrating an incredible 25 years of gifting and have given one of my readers the chance to win a Love Christmas Candle Cracker which contains 3 x 5cl mini candles which are perfect for burning over the festive period.  They smell simply gorgeous with notes of mandarin, petigrain, cinnamon and dried fruits.

This is a UK giveaway due to the weight of the item.  Good luck!

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?
