Feeling Festive!

I can't believe it's coming up to Christmas... how fast has this year gone!? Still, I'm sooo excited for Christmas time as I've got probably the most exciting December I've ever had to look forward to! The holiday me and Matthew have dreamed of for sooo long is less than a week away (Disneyland Paris!!) and when we come home there'll be less than 20 days till Christmas! Anyway... aside from that little update I wanted to post some of my favourite candles to burn at this time of year to make things feel homely, cosy and festive! I realise some people will be thinking huh? candles? what's so special about them? so hopefully these ones will change your mind! They all smell so lovely, and they can make a room feel really calm and snug : )

In the little Wintery collection I've got...

 

Yankee Candle - Lake Sunset

Yankee Candle - Fireside Treats

Yankee Candle - Season of Peace

Yankee Candle - Soft Blanket

Glade - Honey and Chocolate

Neom - Bliss

Neom - Real Luxury

 

I really wish I was better at describing scents, but I'm hopeless so I'll just give a brief overview! I used to like really floral, girly scents but I've begun to go off them slightly, and probably due to my mum (she always picks the nicest candles) I've been loving really soft, clean scents. I really don't like traditional Christmas candle ranges as they always seem to have themes of either cinnamon or pine needles... both of which I'm not a fan of! So, I'd say these scents will be perfect for just about anyone as they're not too fussy! However, the neom ones are definitely the strongest among them and they're not to everybody's taste (or smell haha) so I'd probably say head over to John Lewis to give each one in their range a try first!

I've inserted this picture to show that when you burn one of the neom candles (both the small ones and the big ones) they create a layer of oils which not only make the entire room smell gorgeous, but it makes the candle burn much better too (they don't look all messy after lighting them like some others do!)

So, I hope that's given some ideas for gifts or decorations this Christmas... and I'll apologise to any readers who find candles the most mundane, boring items ever... but they're soooo not! haha hope everyone's excited for the next few weeks! :)
