Yankee Candle-Doo

Okay so aside from my obsession with nail polish and makeup in general, I have a mild obsession over Yankee Candles.

Their glass packaging, their presentation, the range in colours, the scents, Oh the scents, and their great value for money! (they actually burn for the suggested time and much longer!)

Clintons are currently offering 50% off certain scents ranges. Like Beach Flowers and Fluffy Towels, ranges include tea lights, small, medium, and large glass candles and sample sizes that will fit into candle holders offering you a taste of that scent. They also are currently offering in Clintons buy one get 50% off 2nd for other scents. Perfect for getting in some early Christmas Present shopping!
I have since last Christmas treated myself to a quite a few, and still have two large Candles that I still am burning from then!

** Since writing this post, the offer at Clintons has since ended. Sorry mistake on my part due to writing the post days before uploading**

Scents that I have been enjoying are: Pink Sands - a gorgeous fresh scent that reminds me of walking into Lush, Baby Powder - clean soft baby like smell, Clean Cotton - fresh, airy and light scent, Fluffy Towels - reminds me of fresh hotel laundry, and towel robes you get at hotel spas, Black Cherry - a full somewhat heavier scent that reminds me of cherry drops, Cranberry Ice - a strong scent of cranberries with a fresh note to it, Pink Dragon Fruit  - now I have no idea what it smells like but its fresh, flowery, fruity, and just my favourite!



The only downside to Yankee Candles I find - for the larger candles that is - is the cost, they are slightly pricey for a candle but if you catch them on offer it makes all the difference. Also you have to be careful of 'tunnelling' your candles. You know when you burn a candle but blow it out before its burned through an entire layer of wax? Well you can wax that you've missed from burning around the edge and you cause a tunnel - which means you waste money as you could have burnt it. Especially as you've spent what might be considered 'pricey' amount on a Yankee you dont want to then waste some. So make sure you burn them for long enough - even if it takes hours, so you can get your monies worth!

As always happy shopping and enjoy your products. Where fire is concerned please practice safe fire use, making sure you keep open flames away from soft furnishings and children. Until next time....
