Golden Fords Orange, Cranberry and Cinnamon Candle *

I have too many candles, said no-one ever! Since my last post reviewing their taster pack, Golden Fords Candles has expanded into new fragrances, wax melts, and even reed diffusers. So when asked if I would like a cotton wick candle to try, frankly I couldn’t quite believe it. A speedy delivery and a few other goodies the Golden Fords Orange, Cranberry and Cinnamon Candle was delivered. Golden Fords Candles are based on a little farm on the doorstep of Chantry Woods. Here each candle and wax melt they make is 100% natural using ethically sourced wax, hand poured and scented in small…

Scentsy Warmers and Bars

If you know me you know I love a candle or ten, it’s certainly a guilty pleasure and I have done a couple of reviews on the blog. During the current lockdown I have made a serious dent in my candle stocks, so when I was offered the chance to trial the Scentsy Warmers from Scents of Occasion for a few days I jumped at the chance.  Scentsy began with a simple idea, a safe, wickless alternative to scented candles. Their warmers use LED to melt specially formulated wax slowly and with no flame, soot, or wick it is a safe…

Queen of Tarts Snow Fairie Wax Melt Dupe

What would you say if I said you could have Snow Fairy all year round? Well you can… sort of! Queen of Tarts Snow Fairie melts are a dupe of the gorgeous fragrance that Lush do ever year in their Christmas products. Expect this time it comes in a wax melt form.  I went through a faze a few years back with wax melts but have since gravitated back to candles. That said when someone says Snow Fairy my ears prick up. Queen of Tarts has done exactly this with their Snow Fairie dupe and I cannot take any credit…

Liz Earle Eucalyptus and Rosemary Candle

If I could I would have candles everywhere. I could reel off many reasons why I love candles but I shall save you from that. First and foremost there are thousands of candles out there all of varying price ranges. I will be the first to say that there would be no way that I would pay some of those extortionate prices, at the end of the day it is still a candle. Some of the best candles I have had have been ridiculously good value (enter Bliss and Bling) and I see no need in forking out.  Natural blend of…

Crunchie Friday Feeling Cake

Happy Friday! Let’s celebrate the weekend the only way I know how.. with cake! The Crunchie Friday Feeling Cake to be precise. Once upon a time Crunchie did do a birthday cake and it was glorious. Much like the Flake Birthday cake it disappeared, much to my disgust, but has recently made a return. Huzzah. This time around Cadbury have opted for less of the birthday cake angle and more of the cake for any occasion angle. In this instance however I did actually have this as my birthday cake hence my pink candles. I must say I much prefer…
