Evening!
Today's little post is just another Christmas wish list. The majority of the things on here are items that I really don't need, but love.
The only things that I need at the moment are some new clothes, and shoes. Being preggy obviously means that a lot of what I own at the moment doesn't fit, and I'm not really wanting to spend a massive amount of money on clothes that are only going to be worn for the next five months. Shoes on the other hand...
Since getting Bug, I think it's safe to say that I have gone through at least eight pairs of shoes; or should I say, Bug has eaten his way through them. I've now mastered the art of actually putting my shoes in a cupboard and I'd really love a few pairs of great foot protectors that are going to last.
The other items really are just things that I've had my eye on for a while. If you're a Yankee candle fan, you really must try Fireside treats!

Hi Lovelies!

    You should know me well enough by now to know that I am obsessed with Yankee Candles, so I'm pretty sure these pleasantly scented hauls will become a regular thing. 

I had to try the two Christmas scents that ever blogger/vlogger on the earth had mentioned this year, and I completely understand whey they were such a big hit. They smell amazing, although I have to say I do prefer the Christmas cookie. 

I also purchased 8 more of the wax tarts. I had bought 4 previously and didn't expect much from them. But using them in my burner proved me wrong. The smell literally fills the room!! I've decided now that I need a large pink sands and black cherry jar in my life. They're incredible! 

I decided that I should buy another burner to use as well, seeing as I had bought so many tarts. This one only cost me £5 and comes in several colours. The only downside to this one is the shape. The flat base makes it very difficult to removed the wax once it has been melted and solidified. My other one has a rounded bottom so the was just pops right out when I want to change scents. 

These glasses were the remains of my old Ikea candles. Once they had burned down, I placed them in a saucepan with boiling water, just full enough to reach the level of the wax inside. (Try not to get the water in the glass.) Once the wax had melted completely, I then poured it out into an old chinese takeaway pot, washed of course, and threw it away. To make sure there was no wax left of the glasses I then washed them in very hot water and left to dry. 

They are perfect for the sample size candles that I bought!

This is how I store my wax tarts. I never melt a whole one so they're going to last me a good while. I make sure the bags are labelled and then I keep them in a box with my tealights and a spare lighter. 

Are there any Yankee scents I should try?

YANKEE CANDLES!

I am so obsessed!! But apparently so is everyone else! Haha. 

This is at my local Garden Centre, the shelves are normally jam packed. I went in expecting there to be less there than normal, but I certainly didn't expect this. Quite obviously Yankee's are an ideal Christmas present. 

I did manage to salvage a few wax tarts though, which are ideal for my oil burner as I can break them up easily. 

I'm currently burning Beach Walk and it smells amazing. It's a fresh scent of sea air with hints of tangerine. I'll be definitely buying some more tarts as they last a lot longer than the oils I used to burn. Fingers crossed next time I pop into the garden centre their range will be fully stocked again, I can only hope that the empty shelves doesn't mean that they are discontinuing the candles.  

What are your favourite Yankee scents?
