Bring on December - Yankee candle advent calendar

I was lucky enough to snap this beauty up from a lady on a facebook local selling site for £15! 

Yep you read that right, so of course with a price like that I was having it.

I'm not much of a chocolate eater anymore so this was the perfect advent calendar for me, This divine smelling little beauty has 25 tea lights with a mixture of their festive Christmas scents inside.

I'm so excited to open the little doors and see what scent I'll be burning that day

Inside

Snowflake cookie

Icicles

Angel wings

Cranberry ice

Christmas cookie

Christmas garland

Although cellophane wrapped the heavenly scents hit you as you enter the room straight away.

My Yankee candle wax tart stash

It's now secret I love myself a Yankee candle!

Wax tarts are a top fave as I can mix it up a little and have a different scent every other week, Having asda stock the odd one for just £1 makes my addiction to easy to keep.

I'm currently melting Fall Glory from the simply home range

So in my stash you'll find

November rain

Sweet pea

Christmas treats - simply home

Loves me, loves me not

Macintosh spice

Cherry vanilla - simply home

Black cherry

Vanilla lime

Mandarin cranberry x2

Summer scoop

Sicilian lemon

Black plum blossom

Sweet apple

Pink dragon fruit

Orange splash

Pink honeysuckle - simply home

Sunlight on snow - simply home

Black coconut

Farmhouse apple - Potpourri

Harvest - Potpourri

I managed to grab the set of 9 wax tart Fruit-a-licious set for just £7.69 + £1.95 P&P

My stash is nowhere near as big as I'd like to be and there's LOADS on my wish list so this collection is sure to grow.

Do you have a Yankee stash or recommend a scent for me to try?

Summer Scents

Finally got myself some Yankee Candles

After seeing Yankee candles everywhere on instagram i had to see what all the hype was about, i saw one in my neighbours house which was chocolate bunnies and she let me lend it. I was amazed at how my whole house was over taken by the smell of melting chocolate so couldn't wait to order my self some wax tarts & samplers (because I'm a tight bum when it comes to buying stuff for myself) I finally grabbed aload of samplers and wax tarts from ebay and as soon as i opened the box my nose was over taken by amazing smells! I'm yet to light any of them im torn which one to light first but i'm already addicted and wanting to buy some more :)

On  the same day my order arrived my friend popped round and surprised me with a big one as they had them in where she worked and she gets a discount so she grabbed me one after me talking about them loads when she comes over :) I'm such a lucky girl to have such amazing friends
