Yankee Candle Strawberry Buttercream Large Jar Candle - Review:

So I have been re-arranging our bedroom recently in anticipation of getting a new dressing table/ vanity. My previous dressing table was really a desk and it just wasn't in-keeping with the design and feel I was trying to create in the boudoir.

I want to create a Victorian/ Rococo inspired bedroom with a modern twist with lots of venetian glass and objet d'art.

Whilst I am developing and collecting pieces for my room, I felt an easy update is to buy a new candle.

I am in love with Yankee Candles, they are by far the best candles I have ever burnt. They last for hours and completely fill the whole room with their scent. I have them all round the house. Candles to me, follow the seasons.

I have special Christmas candles, burners and scents that take me from Autumn (Fall), with fragrances such as Autumn leaves, through to Halloween and the harvest season, then into the cold depths of winter with Gingerbread and Shortbread Cookie.

I obviously own the infamous Clean Cotton which is fresh and clean and a must have for Spring, but I was seriously lacking in the Summer scent department.

That was until I procured Yankee's Strawberry Buttercream.
With Wimbledon just passed and a recent trip to the famous 'Betty's Tea Rooms' a Strawberry and Cream fragranced candle seemed very apt.
I have just realised most of my candles (with the exception of holiday specials) are mainly from their 'Food & Spice' line.
I have to say, the scent is simply devine.

It makes the most of the long summer days, before the daylight begins to fade earlier and eariler into Autumn. When the window is open and a summer's breeze mixes with the scent, you can close your eyes and picture the warmth of summer on your skin.

Which is your favourite Yankee Candle scent?

Review: Ralph Lauren Big Pony Collection Eau de Toilette

Hey,


So Ralph Lauren have just released there new fragrance collection for men called The Big Pony Collection.
There are 4 gorgeous new fragrances to choose from and would make a great gift for the other half or a male family member or even yourself.
I bought this set for the boyfriend as I couldn't decide which scent I liked the most and Boots sell this miniatures collection which are 15ml each.


This is the info taken from the Boots.com website:

• Number 1: The Sporty Fragrance. Citrus Aromatic. Be a winner; be part of the team. This refreshing tonic matches up lime and grapefruit to propel men to victory.
• Number 2 : The Seductive Fragrance. Oriental Fougere. A sexy mix that hooks up dark chocolate and musk for undeniable attraction.
• Number 3 : The Adventurous Fragrance. Fougere Woody. A thrilling scent of mint and ginger root that triggers an adrenaline rush, and prepares men for an experience of extreme sensations.
• Number 4 : The Stylish Fragrance. Woody Fruity. An energising boost that layers mandarin and kyarawood for a one-of-a-kind, stylish edge.

My personal favourites are Numbers 3 & 4, but my bf particularly likes Number 2 which admitedly smells great on him, better than in the bottle.

This set costs £28 from Boots, but you can buy a 75ml large size of your fave scent for £35.
