Yankee Candle Haul – Citrus Scents

Christine — Sun, 13 May 2012 18:47:51 +0000

Yankee Meyer Lemon

I adore citrus, fruity and fresh candle scents. They are hands down my favorites as I am not a flower scented type of girl. I find the flowery scents give me a splitting headache and the fruit and fresh scents are just perfect for me! I also love this time of year as the candle companies are putting out primarily light, fresh and fruity scents. I can only take so much caramels, sugars and heavy Autumn/Winter scents.

In this video the host talks about some Yankee candles she purchased. I find it helpful to watch some of these videos about scent reviews because I do not want to waste my money! So here are the scents that she covers:

Meyer Lemon
Vanilla Lime
Lemon Zest
Kiwi Berries
Orchard Pear
Macintosh Spice

I like that she includes a rant in this video – I think $27.99 for one Yankee candle is ridiculous too! That is just too much. Watch the video and let us know your thoughts on it:

Yankee Candles – Q2 Collection 2012

Christine — Sun, 13 May 2012 18:42:21 +0000

Wild Passion Fruit Candle

I adore Yankee Candles. They are probably my second favorite candles after Trapp Candles. I am a fruity and fresh kind of gal so I love all the delicious scents they offer. I’m especially in love with their bright and crisp Spring and Summer scents such as Cherry Lemonade and Black Cherry. What can I say, I’m on a cherry kick right now!

One thing I am dying to try is their new Summer and Spring scents. I have not smelled the Meyer Lemon, Fruit Fusion or Wild Passion Fruit yet, but I cannot wait to do so soon! I plan to make a trip to the Yankee store this week and do a little spending.

I found this video on youtube today that is a quick commercial for their Q2 scents, which is the scents available in the UK. Enjoy and let me know what your favorite Yankee scent is:

Wax Reviews For You!

Christine — Sun, 13 May 2012 18:28:05 +0000

Slatkin & Co. Candles

I love these weekly wax reviews you can watch on youtube, and of course they are weekly!
They are short videos talking about different candles the host burned over the past week. She burns a lot of tarts and candles, and has a lot of thoughts on them! That is great to me, as I hate wasting money on candles that do not smell great once you burn them.

In this video she covers candles from the following retailers:

www.bathandbodyworks.com
www.candlesbyvictoria.com
www.shayzscentz.com
www.kringlecandle.com
www.can-do-candles.com

I particularly love to hear about the Bath & Body Works candles as I am a huge Slatkin & Co. Fan. Those are my favorite candles along with Yankee and Trapp. I do have to say though, I have the hardest time getting a consistent burn out of Slatkin & Co. Something I think a lot of us have experienced! Check out the reviews below:

Review: Slatkin American Boardwalk Candle Collection!

Christine — Wed, 09 May 2012 16:12:46 +0000

Slatkin American Boardwalk Candle

A lot of people have been talking about the new American Boardwalk Candle collection available at Bath & Body Works from Slatkin & Co. candles. Personally I have tried two of the scents and love them! I found this great video on youtube today that talks about five different scents.

Here are the scents offered in the collection and their descriptions provided by Bath & Body Works:

Beach Cabana - Relax in the cool shade with sweet jasmine, orange blossom and a hint of musk.
Oceanside – Refreshing as a long getaway to the ocean – watery greens and cucumber blend deliciously with juicy melon and peony petals.
White Sand – Like the first long days of summer at the beach – sparkling grapefruit and sandalwood, with coconut milk and summer jasmine.
Beach Grass – Like a stroll on the dunes at sunrise – dewy greens, palmetto grass and sweet white freesia.
Seashore – Savor the feeling of the coast and blue skies overhead with crisp water lotus, bright citrus and a touch of salt water in the air.
Summer Boardwalk – Like memories of the best summer spent at the beach – caramel-glazed popcorn, warm taffy-apples and salted, sweet cream.
Root Beer Float – A treat that always delights – sweet root beer poured over pure vanilla ice cream, with a touch of nutmeg.
Sun Tan – Like the feeling of the bright sun and warm sand – orange flower, yuzu and coconut husk.

Here is what this reviewer thinks of this line of candles:

American Boardwalk Root Beer Float Candle

I am excited for the American Boardwalk collection of candles to arrive in Bath & Body Works stores on 5/18/12! The line of candles has fun scents such as: Root Beer Float, Summer Boardwalk & Beach Cabana. Having grown up spending every summer on the boardwalks of New Jersey, this is very exciting to me!

The candles will be in stores on May 18th, so until I can smell them in person, I just ordered a couple to try out now: Root Beer Float & Summer Boardwalk. They are described as the following:

Summer Boardwalk - Like memories of the best summer spent at the beach – caramel-glazed popcorn, warm taffy-apples and salted, sweet cream.
Root Beer Float - A treat that always delights – sweet root beer poured over pure vanilla ice cream, with a touch of nutmeg.

I posted a video of my thoughts on the scent cold throws. Check it out below:

Slatkin & Co. Test Scent Haul – Many Now in Stores

Christine — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:58:18 +0000

Slatkin & Co. Candles

I love hearing about test scents from Bath & Body Works, because I love to see the different ideas they have. I found this video on youtube today talking about some of their test scents, some of which are now in stores!

The scents in this video that the host talks about are the following:

Market Peach
Wild Strawberry
Mango Cilantro
Blackberry Grapefruit
Papaya Spice

The scents above are all from the Market Fresh line and I believe I have seen all of them in the stores except for Papaya Spice. I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure. Personally I have tried Mango Cilantro and Wild Strawberry. I hated Wild Strawberry – absolutely hated it, but I did enjoy the Mango Cilantro.

Her video goes on to talk about many other Slatkin & Co. candles that are currently available and some that are not! Check out the video below and let us know your thoughts in the comments section!

Weekly Wax Review 4-14-12

Christine — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:49:09 +0000

Yankee Fresh Mint Tart

I enjoy hearing weekly reviews of candles, tarts and other wax. It is nice to hear a fresh perspective with very descriptive terms and details about them. I always like to try new candles but I hate, hate, hate when I get a bad one and the scent will literally make me sick. I have a sensitive nose so often times I will end up spending money on something I do not enjoy. That does not make me happy!

In this video you will see the host speak on some wax she has tried out this week. She talks mainly on Yankee candles, Tarts by Kim and Can Do Candles. I am only familiar with Yankee candles and that is usually where I shop. There and Bath and Body Works for Slatkin & Co. Candles – which are on sale for 2 for $20 right now!

Check out the video below on weekly wax review:
