Vapour Candle

Having being plagued by every sniffle going, I could not resist picking up this little candle. It's called 'vapour candle' and smells like Vicks/Olbas. There are no instructions etc but the 'breathe easy' wording on the lid suggests its should be ideal for clearing your nose. Can't wait to give it a go next time my nose is stuffy and, whilst it's not a scent you'd want to burn to generally fragrance your home, at 59p is well worth giving it a shot! Yes, that's right, 59p!!!!

Candle - 59p from B & M

Yankee Candle Addiction!

I can't help being a little bit in love with these candle products! I have been working my way through a selection of their festive fragrances in jar form and also as samplers and wax tarts. I am new to the wax tarts but am a convert after buying a burner on EBay (approx £5 for an official one via eBay). The tarts crumble easily into the pot and melt amazingly quickly using a plain tealight. The scent appears much stronger than a normal candle and it fills the room quickly. I am currently burning Soft Cotton from their Simply Home range (£1 asda) but have also purchased Midsummers Night and my favourite Christmas Eve, along with Vanilla Frosting. I think it will be getting a lot of use.

The Yankee Samplers are also an inexpensive way to test the fragrances. They burn away to nothing with no waste if instructions are followed. I picked up mine via one of the many eBay sellers for approximately £1.70 each.

Yankee Candle Christmas !

As its December 1st I've finally lit my Yankee Candle Christmas Eve candle (large jar). Promised myself I wouldn't burn it until today as I am planning on it being my official Xmas aroma! I've even bought the wax tart version and similar scented tealights in Happy Christmas. I love Yankee Candles and find them really good value for money and that the fragrance payoff is good. At the rate I'm burning it I hope it makes it to the big day!

Large Jar approx. £15 via
eBay.
