End of Summer & Fall Candle Haul

Hello hello!

Today I have a quick candle haul to share. I called this the end of  Summer and Fall candle haul because I got scents for both seasons. The more summer ones are really good for all year, or good ones to transition into Fall with. I'm really excited and can't wait for Fall since it's my favorite season, so I really wanted Fall scents the most.  P.s. Since last Fall, I've finished up 25 candles. I made it a point to finish up as many candles as I could because I obviously had an excessive amount.

The top two candles in this stack are from Bath & Body Works and the bottom three are from Walmart from a brand called 719 Walnut Ave. I swear to god these are exactly the same as the BBW ones. They smell amazing and are only $4.99. Go smell them, buy them, and thank me later.

Top Row (bbw)-

The first candle is called Incense and this is one that my hubby actually picked out. It's Pachouli and Balck Pepper and this smells amazing. It has that incense scent but it's not as strong as when you burn actual inscense. I burn incense almost everyday, so this candle is nice to have if I don't want an over powering scent.

The second from BBW is Pumpkin Cupcake. I had to get at least one Pumpkin Scent and I do like to have at least one sweet scent in my collection to burn.

Bottom row (walnut ave)-

The first one is called Rustic Lake House and is described as cedar, citrus, and green moss. It has a bit of a cologne/earthy scent but it's very light and clean. These types of candles are nice if I'm tired of smelling a sweet or fruity scent.

Next is Country Market, and this is one I picked up last year too and really loved it. This is is described as juicy berries and watermelon, and I think it's great for both Summer and Fall.

Last is Apple Delight. I think this is another one that could be for Summer or Fall, but I'm waiting until Fall to burn it!

The Fall scents at BBW didn't excite me much this year. I love their Leaves and Autumn scents but I just finished up mine that I had from last year. I almost picked up Mahagonay Apple, but the more I smelled it, the more it smelled like beer/hard apple cider LOL. Their website seems to have more scents that I'm interested in that weren't in my local store.

So this is my little candle haul that I'm ridiculously excited about.  Have you picked up any Fall candles yet? Which scents are your favorite?

Bath & Body Works Holiday Candle Haul | Collab

Hello! I'm sure by now you all know that I have an obsession with candles. Every season I have to get new ones, but I always wait for a good sale at Bath and Body works! On Black Friday everything was buy 3 get 3 free and they sacked coupons, so I was in candle heaven.

I'm doing this post in Collaboration with Pilar from Beauty and More by Pilar ! We did a Fall candle haul together a few months ago, and we have some other fun Holiday Collabs planned too!! Don't forget to check out her blog to see such candles she got too!

I was super happy with all my choices this year! All of these smells so good, and props to my hubby for helping me pick them out!

Salted Caramel- a blend of buttery caramel, flakey sea salt, and a hint of roasted chestnuts. This is definitely one of my favorites that I picked out. It's very sweet scented but not overwhelming. If candles were edible, I would devour it.

Wish Christmas Spice- this one is by white barn and is described as cinnamon sticks, ground cloves, and nutmeg- a classic Christmas spice blend. This one smells very strong but I love cinnamon scents so it doesn't bother me that it's a powerful one. 

Winter Candy Apple- a blend of candied apples, spiced orange zest, and a touch of winter musk. This one is midly sweet and I don't smell any musk in it.

 Fresh Sparkling Snow- as you can see, this is already almost half gone. This one just might be my favorite (salted caramel is second!). This one is described as Icy pear, frozen melon, and frosted musk. This scent is a tiny bit fruity, and the musk is very minimal. It's such a great mixture. And I promise, it smells better than it sounds. I was actually surprised to read the fruit description in it! It's one of those scents that you can't quite describe or put your finger on what it smells like!

Cozy Cabin- a blend of frosted vinalla, sage, and golden glowing woods. You can smell a hint of vinalla in this and the woodsy scent is light. It's also a nice blend, is not very heavy. I get nervous when buying the woodsy scents because if they are too heavy (or smell to strongly like men's cologne) I get a headache. I'm happy to say this one doesn't do that!

Sweater Weather- an aromatic blend of eucalyptus, juniper berry, and fresh sage. This one also isn't too strong snd smells very fresh!

So this completes my winter/holiday candle haul! Don't forget to checkout Pilars post as well!

What is your favorite holiday candle scent? 

Birthday Haul + Video

Hello! I hope you all had a great fourth of july weekend!

I wanted to say thanks to all of you who wished me a happy birthday last week and a special thank you to my good friend Pilar who sent me a birthday card in the mail! It really made my day when I received the card in the mail, it was so kind and thoughtful of her to send me one and remember that it was my birthday!

So today I have a birthday haul to share and I also filmed a video for this too! These are all the goodies I got or bought for my birthday and I was super excited because I have not been shopping like this in forever!

I didn't show these in the video because I had filmed it beforehand, but my awesome best friend Hannah got me these candles from an etsy shop that's inspired my books. The first one is butterbeer and the second one is called hobbiton. I am freaking obsessed. They smell so amazing and these candles are the way to a book lovers heart. 

My husbands mom got me a gift card for bath and body works and I was super excited because I have been wanting summer candles since spring time and I haven't been able to get any. It was their semi annual sale so I got some hand soaps too. The soaps are boring so if you want to see what ones then are, then they are named off in my video. For candles I got (left to right) Costal Sun, Mango Dragon Fruit, Honolulu Sun, and Guava Colada. 

Hubby got me a Polaroid camera. I was way excited about this, I've been wanting one for forever. 

Here's the goodies I picked up from Sephora and Mac. I got the Makeup Forever Mat Velvet+ foundation, Stila stay all day bronzer, Mac Pro Longwear Concealer, the sephora birthday gift which is two Nars lip crayons, Mac lip liner in Morning Coffee and Tarte Park ave Princess Lip Stick. I also got two Nyx Micro Brow Pencils but I forgot to include them. 

From the drugstore I picked up a new Loreal Lineur Intense Liquid Liner and Loreal Miss Manga Mascara. I also got the new Maybelline Better Skin foundation and concealer which I will have a review for very soon!

That's all for my haul, and I hope you enjoy the video! If I seem a little off in there it's because I was way tired. Iliterally woke up, did my makeup and started filming lol!

Small Bath & Body Works Haul

Hi :)

Did you guys do any Black Friday shopping?? I did not, but I did go to bath and body works this weekend and they still had some good sales! 

I mainly went because I have a slight obsession with candles. Slight being a little under exaggerated.  When new seasons start I always want to go get new candles, even though I should probably finish my ones from last year. 

I got three candles for myself and some for gifts. I also got suckered into their hand sanatizers. I hardly ever use these but there are little cute animals on them so I guess that means I needed them. 

From left to right- 

-Gourmet Espresso. This smells soooo good. I am a coffee lover so I really had to have this one. It kind of has a chocolatey smell to it too. 

-Frosted Cranberry. I like fruity scents but this one is nice because it's too too sweet. 

-Vanilla Bean Noel. This is another one that's a sweet scent but not too sweet. 

From left to right- Snow Kissed Berry, Icec Gingerbread, Merry Cookie, Ski Bunny, and Tis the Season. 

I'm not going to go into detail about these scents but I really like the Iced Gingerbread one the best! 

I hope you enjoyed this bath and body works haul and thanks for reading!
