Yankee Candle: Home Sweet Home Review

Lately I have been OBSESSED with candles and this candle is one of my favourites. 

Yankee candles in general are amazing, and although they are abit on the expensive side, they last me for ages and ages, compared to the £3 ones from IKEA that run out within a week and don't really give off a lot of smell. 

The Home Sweet Home scent is really overpowering with cinnamon when you first smell it, but once it is lit it gives off a nice subtle smell of cinnamon with some other spices that I cannot put my finger on. 

I would tell you what they are but I don't know and it doesn't say on the jar itself what type of spices are used. 

It does give off a really homely smell, like a warm winter smell. It is like the cinnamon candle in there range, but just sort of less cinnamon. I'm really bad at describing things, sorry! 

The only annoying thing about this candle is that I found the Wix was too high at the beginning and when I left it near a wall, it actually burnt my wall, and now I have 2 big burns in there. But then again, maybe I just shouldn't have put it so close to the wall! Haha

I hope you enjoyed this blog post review and come back soon. Follow me and subscribe and don't forget to leave any comments

Quick Tip: leave it to burn all the way around so that you are not left with that really annoying wax rim around the out side of the jar to make it last longer!

IM BACK OH YEAH

Hey everyone,

I am back, finally

I am sorry that I have been away for so long and I wish I had a proper excuse but really the only excuse I have is that I had exams and I know that other people still managed but you know a lot of my spare time was taken up revising and stuff and as soon as they were finished I went on holiday and I came back on Wednesday morning

But now I know that I am going to make 2 blog posts a week. I am going to be doing "review Wednesdays" and then another blog every Wednesday. 

If you have any topics that you want me to talk about leave a comment and I will take all advice on board. 

Sorry again for the break

Yankee Candle: Review

For Christmas I got a Yankee Candle products. I got a Yankee Candle in the scent Black Cherry and I also got an air freshener in the same scent. This is the second Yankee candle I have owned. The first one was a spiced manderine and cranberries of something like that. I liked that one, but I like the Black Cherry one more. 

Yankee Candles are my favourite candles, because they last a really long time. They also smell for a really long time and the scent doesn't fade. With the candle I usually light it for a good few hours and then the smell stays in my room. The candles last for 3-4 months if you light then every few days for a few hours, and although they may be expensive, it is worth it. 

The only this I have to say about then is that, because there is only 1 lighter bit in the middle, it doesn't get all the wax off from the rim. They could do with 2 or 3, like the ones from bath and body works. However, it still lasts a long time. 

With the air freshener, I find this amazing. I have never had anything like this before. I have had this for over a month, and there is a lid that you can put it back on top, however within the first day I had lost the lid, so it has been in continuously since Christmas Day, and there is still a lot of product left. This also leaves my room smelling amazing. Another reason why I love it is because even when I don't shut my door all the way, the smell still lingers in my room and when you go in it smells amazing!!! The packaging I love also, as it looks pretty and posh. 

Thanks for reading

My new room!!

Hey guys it's Casey

I am so sorry it has been like 5 months since my last post *awkward face* but I don't even have an excuse because well I don't. And I don't think anyone will even care about this part because I have like 2 followers! Haha BUT IM BACK 

So recently I have redone my room with nice wallpaper and new funiture, so I thought I would do a room tour! I am just going to focus on what is on my desk today! As I will go I depth, I will carry on with the rest if the room in my next blog post 

Okay so the first thing you will se is my desk! It is just a wooden desk really! And it has 2 storage parts on the right, one a slide out door and the other just a cupboard! This desk is from ikea, and I cannot remember how much it was priced at, but I do love this desk and it is useful for when I do my homeowork, when I do homework which is never eek!

 

On my desk I have my Yankee candle and another tea light holder! This is just nice to bring abit if light to my room! I also have a Yankee air freshener. Both my candle and my air freshener smell like black cherries! It smells amazing! I love it! 

Next if we move in down the desk is my collection of me to you bears, I have around 9 and they all fit in the big brown bowl thing, I don't really know what it is used for, but I found it empty in my front room so I stole it haha! These are all the met to you bears I have collected over the years and most if them were given as presents in birthdays and special occasions. Out of the too I have got some small fairy lights where it can put batteries in and it lights up and makes it look all cute awwww! How youtube am I haha

Along the dest is where I keep some of my school books and it isn't interesting to be honest, they are just books! And then out if there I have some more fairy lights that I like to put on at night time just to brighten up the room 

Along the bottom all I have is a camera that I got Christmas 2012! It is a good camera and I love to go out and take pictures if my surroundings! Next to the camera is a photo album. By the end if 2014 I would love to have it filled up with all my favourite memories. The camera is the samsung WB100

So yeah that is my desk section of my room! It isn't really very interesting, it is just a desk with a few bits in top! If you looked in the middle I think you would have a heart attack. I wouldn't be surprised if something was growing in there haha.

Thank you for reading, if you have any questions, ask away I will answer them all. Sorry if the pictures are bad, I took them on my phone<3

Please follow me if you want to see the next section in my room! It would mean a lot. Thank you

Love Casey xoxoxoxox

The letter B - Barry M nail varnish 

I have already done a review on the Gelly high shine nail varnishes, and I love them so much that I have gone out and purchased another colour,the colour Greenberry. 

These are my nails after a week of being painted! No chips at all! 

When I went into boots it was buy 1 get one free so I decided to get a different Barry M nail varnish, it is from the "textured nail effect" nail varnish and it gives a really nice sandy and textured effect to it. I got it in the colour Atlantic road. I do not currently have this nail varnish on so I cannot show you what it looks like on but it is really nice!

Holiday

HEY GUYS 

(Just to let you know the photos on this blog post won't be good because they have been taken on my phone)

So I have just come back off holiday and I thought that I would tell you all about it.

I had the BEST time ever omg. I went the the Dominican Republic and stayed in the hard rock hotel.

It was so nice and relaxing but at the same time we was never bored because we went on losts of different activities at the resort. The hotel was called the hard rock, so there was always rock/pop music playing in all the bars and in all tehe restaurants and the lobby. They also had a lot of pieces from famous people like, elvis suit and elton johns piano which was really cool to see. There was also madonnas Limo that she pulled up in to a red caper every right outside the casino. 

The flight was probably the worst thing about the holiday. It was 11 hours and I hate airplanes . That is really the only thing I have to moan about on this holiday. 

It was SOOO hot there, and I got such a good tan. There wasnt 1 day that it was raining during the day. A few times it would rain at the night but we didn't mind because we was inside anyway. There was 14 pools to choose from including water slides and a lazy river. Most of the pools had swim up bars, so we never went thirst or hungry. This hotel was an all inclusive hotel, so we could get what we wanted when we wanted. 

The first week all we don't was sit around and relax the whole time and just enjoy the sun. The second week was abit more full on. We had activities every day, like horse riding on the beach, or scootering or riding jeeps threw the jungle. Because we are kids this was the extent of our activities, because if you go there, it isn't the sort of place you would want to take children out of the resort. Although I might just be being snobby. 

We did also take some family photographs with our resort credits that we got and they turned out very nice. The food in this hotel is truly amazing. We have been to Mexico the Moon Palace and we thought that it would be hard to live up to the expectations because it had such a high standard, but it did and more. There was so many nice restaurants with such good service and for a place that isn't and English speaking place, the service was amazing! At night our favourite places to eat out was Zen, 

A Chinese restaurant where they would make the food right infront of your eyes, and they would also do tricks, like flipping egg yokes, and throwing food in people's mouths. The Mexican restaurant was all of our favourite restaurants. 

 

We would get chicken fajitas for a main, and it was SOOO nice, it would come out on a griddle and you would make up the fajitas yourself. There was also beef and lobster fajitas. And for dessert we would have the most amazing chocolate duffle with icecream. It was the best dessert we ever had. 

And for the lunch time and breakfast we would love to go to the Isla buffet. For lunch You could choose anything you wanted from chicken to steak to spaghetti to salad, anything you wanted and it was cooked fresh infront of you. And you desserts you could have icecream from the machine to cakes and cookies and just anything you wanted 

And it was the same for breakfast, you could have fresh made eggs, or bacon or cereal just Everything. 

 

The resort was so big that there were little golf buggies that would take you from one part of the hotel to another. they were 24/7 and they would go to all the different places at the hotel like the spa, the lobby, Your apartment. The beach was crystal clear and you could go in it. It was so pretty and the beach sand was so soft. You could spend all day there. 

And the rooms where amazing. We has such a nice view. You could see one of the pools but also the ocean. It had 2 kind size beds, and single bed. It had 2 showers 2 sinks 1 toilet, 4 spirits and a mini-fridge that was restocked every day with drinks for apple juice to coke to beer. 

Overall this holiday was truly amazing and I would recommend if anyone is thinking about going on holiday to go and check out this one. It was amazing. One night my mum and dad went out to the casino, there was a DVD player and they put a DVD on and went to the casino, and we felt safe with all the locks and lights. It was So amazing and if you are unsure where to go on your next holiday here is the place to go. 

Thanks for reading.
