One of my new loves: Candles!

THIS POST IS ALL ABOUT     CANDLES   !
Late this summer I started a small collection of candles, specifically Yankee Candle votives. I have always loved different fragrances and candles are no exception. After realizing sometime early this year that I had become a product junkie (hey-- who doesn't love buying scented lotions, body creams, and sprays?) I decided to satisfy my craving for yummy scents elsewhere.

Although I know there are many options when it comes to candles and home fragrance, I decided to take the plunge and start burning candles from one of the most well-known brands, Yankee Candle.

I must admit, I really love the wide range of scents and options that Yankee offers. I am personally a fan of both sweet/fruity scents, food scents, and fresh scents. I took a few shots of my collection here below. I have to say that it is quite modest but, I am proud of what I have.


This is the box that I keep my Sampler Votive Collection in
(an old gift set box from Victoria's Secret-- I love VS scented creams and lotions too!)
You can see here, my two latest purchases
to kick off the holiday season: SPARKLING SNOW & CHRISTMAS COOKIE


My candles!

CITRUS PUNCH was one of my eBay finds -- I have like 4 of this scent!

Chocolate Chip Cookie--- another hard to find "cult classic".
I haven't burned this yet but, I will let you know how it smells when I do :-).


A fresh and comforting warm scent!


and ... pictured above is what I am burning now-- Pumpkin Pie. It is warm and inviting and the butter, sugar, and cinnamon combination on this is just divine!

Do any of you like candles like I do?

I plan on going over some fun facts about candles, how to burn them properly, preserve them, and introduce/review new scents and products. I look forward to sharing another one of my passions here with you all!
