Yankee Candles!

Hello everyone! :)
Today will be another picture blog post, so I hope you enjoy! :) Once again bare with me for the picture/camera quality. :)

I'm going to be showing you all my 'mini' Yankee Candle collection, so grab a cup of tea, sit back, relax and enjoy! :)



                   Here is a picture of my full collection of Yankee Candles. I will tell you what they are in
                                                                the next few pictures. :)



                This Yankee Candle is 'Vanilla Frosting'. This was my very first Yankee Candle purchase.
          When I first knew Yankee Candle's existed I wanted to buy lots of different one for ages (mainly the      bigger ones) , and I never got any as my Mum had said they were too expensive. But about a month or    two months ago me and my Mum went into Asda (I believe it was- well somewhere like there anyway :D)   and whilst we were in there, I spotted some mini Yankee Candles for only £1, so I thought great! At last, I can get some! :) So I smelt the ones that were there, and this was one of my favourites, so I decided to get it ; I am very happy with this purchase. :) It is a very lovely smell (obviously). The smell is in the name. :)

   
   On my Christmas wishlist 2013, I asked for some Yankee Candles. ( I asked for quite a lot of the Christmas scents - in the bigger versions.) For Christmas from my Auntie she got me these four mini Yankee Candles. (Yeayy.) From left to right - 'Soft Cotton' , 'Cranberry Zest' , 'Cherry Vanilla' , 'Vanilla Frosting'.
The 'Soft Cotton' is a very lovely, nice, fresh smell. The 'Cranberry Zest' is a fruity, zingy, sweet smell. The 'Cherry Vanilla' is another smell is in the name.

  
 A few days ago I went into Clintons as that is one of my favourite trinket shops, and when I went inside; the shop was still filled with loads of Christmas things in January. This is a good thing though as that meant all of the Christmas things would be on SALE. Wooo!:) After looking around, I of course went over to the Yankee Candle section and had a look. They still had some Christmas scented Yankee candles, and as I wished for Christmas scents I bought some to complete my wish. If you are wondering why I  am showing you the picture of the bag, it's because ages ago Clintons had really rubbish flimsy, paper bags, and now they have really smart, neat bags. :)


Top Left- 'Christmas Cookie'. Top Right- 'Salted Caramel'.
Bottom left to right- 'Merry Marshmallow' , 'Christmas Memories' , 'Cinnamon Stick' , 'Snowflake Cookie'.
'Christmas Cookie' smells like the type of cookie you would have for Christmas time with the hint of vanilla.
With the 'Salted Caramel' it's the very strong smell of the caramel but not too strong and sweet as that's where the salted comes in.
'Merry Marshmallow' smells like sweet goodness. 'Christmas Memories' is almost the smell of what Christmas smells like (if you know what I mean.) I'm not a great fan of Cinnamon but the 'Cinnamon Stick' smells very quite nice. :) Lastly 'Snowflake Cookie' smells of sweet outdoors in the snow.




 This is the holder I will be using to put the Yankee Candles in when burning them. It is a very nice shimmery butterfly candle holder from Matalan. I got it for my Mum for her birthday gift but she said I could use it for my candles. :)

That's it! I hope you enjoyed reading. I'm not very good at explaining the smells of the candles as the smell is in the name so it's quite hard to try and figure what kind of smell it is. :D
