Room Sprays & Mists: Bath & Body Works, Elm Road, Avon, Help Me Organics, NorthburN


*means I received the product complimentary These are the Room Sprays and Mists which I use regularly.  I picked up the Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin when in the States. It's absolutely delicious! It has a beautiful spicy and sweet scent and a little goes a long way.

Elm Road, a Beauty Shortlist Commended Award Winner for their Happiness Natural Essential Oil Botanical Mist* is gorgeous. It previously appeared in my BSL winners top picks. See HERE. It's a deliciously citrus which is uplifting notes of bergamot, neroli and mandarin along with rosewood, geranium, rosemary and pine needle. 

Cheap & Cheerful, Avon's Plum & Nectarine Scented Spritz brings a burst of uplifting fruity notes which reminds me of summer. This Coco & Sandalwood Home & Linen spray from Molton Brown (now discontinued) has a gorgeous summery coconut scent - I'll be sad when I use this one up!

From Help Me Organics is their Help Me Have a Mindful of Calm Room Spray which came in my March Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box. It's a beautiful calming blend of aromatic Frankincense, Geranium Bourbon and Lavender.

Rounding up my collection is NorthburN's gorgeous Rebalance Aroma Mist* which I reviewed HERE.

*Christmas Gift Ideas: Candles & Books

*productsamples You can see my earlier Christmas Gift Guide HERE which included Beauty Products and Candles. There are so many lovely candles out there I just had to include a few more in this post! And books, so many lovely ones you maybe wouldn't treat yourself to..




Totally new to me is SUN.DAY of London, a gorgeous home fragrance brand created by London based Macedonian fine artist, Natasha Garbawi. The range is hand crafted and inspired by family herbal recipes passed down through the generations along with healing properties of plant folklore.  You can see the whole range including diffusers and aroma mists as well as beautiful candles HERE. I was very kindly sent a mini 80ml candle (£12) in Midnight (Somewhere)* which is a blend of lavender, rose, lemon, lime and orange peel. A review is forthcoming - it's lush with an excellent throw!



I absolutely adore this candle by Lucky Cloud Skincare. Restore* is the perfect pick me up - it's calming notes instantly de-frazzle and calm. See my review HERE.


I had the total pleasure to try an Elm Road studio candle* this year. Petals is one of the most luxurious ones I've ever tried. See my review HERE.


Living with Coco Chanel: The Homes and Landscapes which Shaped the Designer by Caroline Young* (link) is simply stunning. Caroline very kindly sent me a copy and a review is forthcoming! 



I had a little twitter win of a copy of The Coorie Home by Beth Pearson which is gorgeous. It's the perfect Christmas gift for any home lover.


Any of the others in this pile I'd highly recommend too...


And last but no means least have you thought of a Daily Goal Setter Planner? One of the best quality ones I've had the pleasure to try is by Mål Paper it's truly beautiful and very good quality (£20.95). See my initial post about it HERE.

*Elm Road: Petals Studio Candle

*productsample I've had the real pleasure of trying Petals Studio Candle (£34 - 200g)* from Elm Road. Founder, Miguel Ángel had a stressful corporate lifestyle and after a walk in Golden Gate Park while he was in San Francisco on business he felt de-stressed, calm and his senses heightened by the beautiful natural aromas. He decided to investigate scents and study aromatherapy. Each candles scent is carefully and lovingly created and I can honestly say Petals is one of the nicest candles I've ever burned (the ranges also include a votive candle, reed diffuser, aromatherapy mist and tealights). 



I was very kindly sent glorious Petals, which is a blend of exotic Tuberose, Jasmine and Ylang Ylang (the scent and throw is sublime). The candle has a burn time of 60hrs and has the evenest burn (another gold star for this element!) Rapeseed and Soy Wax with plant derived and paraben free botanical fragrances with a cotton wick. The candles are hand poured into a black matt tumbler and are Vegan.

"Escape to the most beautiful garden in the world: Jardins du Château de Versailles. Fragrant blooms and velvety petals not only fill the palace inside and out, but adorn its many paintings and tapestries. Reminding us of times past and its famous inhabitants including Marie Antoinette".




I'm so impressed with everything about these glorious candles - gorgeous natural ingredients, exquisite aroma, even burn and fantastic throw (which I could still smell the next morning - that's what I want from a candle!) I know for sure I'll be back for more! Pick yours up HERE.
