Candle Craze

If you don't have a slight candle obsession, we can't be friends. My room just doesn't feel complete if there is'nt a calming flicker of candle light. Cosy night in? Light a candle.  Watching a movie? Light a candle. Getting ready? Light a candle. Okay, I'm obsessed. It's not just the cosy look of them that I love, they smell amazing too!

It's quite scary how much money I willingly spend to literally watch it burn. Over the year's I've become somewhat of a candle hoarder - I buy them but then I just end up putting them on display because they look to pretty to use! It's a habit I should probably stop, so as soon as I've finished this post, I promise to actually use them and not just leave them on my shelf collecting dust! Here are some of my favourites from my ever growing candle collection....

Katie Loxton Scented Soy Candle

I got this as a gift for my 21st birthday last year, I love the packaging of these candles so much. They each have a quote engraved on the glass that makes it a lovely little keepsake long after you've burned the candle. Mine reads "Live everyday like it's your birthday" which makes it a very fitting birthday gift and I couldn't agree with it more! The scent is Strawberry Vanilla - very sweet but gorgeous! 

Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay Scented Candle 

I love everything about Jo Malone scents and it's no different when it comes to their candles! They are quite pricy but a lovely luxury for a special occasion or gift. This candle fills the room with gorgeous smells before it's even been lit!

Bath & Body Works " Georgia Peach "  Scented Candle

I'm still very upset and annoyed that we still don't have access to a Bath & body works in the UK! My parents brought me this back from holiday when they went to America! This smells so fruity and fresh, literally a summers day in a candle! Obviously I love the name too!

DW Home "Winter Waves" Hand Poured Candle

This is definitely not your traditional Christmas candle. This is a Christmas candle that can be used all year round. As you can see, it's covered with mini sketches of Santa wearing sunglasses on a surf board (what?!) and smells like gorgeous warm notes of vanilla. It's so fun and looks completely different to any other festive candle on the market.
