Hey guys! As Easter is moving closer and closer towards us I managed to get my hands on the new Yankee Candle 3 melt egg gift set retailing at £7.99 (click here to view online). It's a small plastic egg with Yankee logo text & jelly beans with a cute ribbon at the top with a tag attached giving info on the three melts inside.

It slides apart in half with three melts inside including; with each melt burning up to 8 hours!

 1. Jelly Bean
I love this scent, after purchasing the large jar last year I was super excited to see this in a melt form! It's bursting smell is full of sugary sweet candy like scents, the only down side is I'm super disappointed you can't buy this separate. The only size available separate and not in a gift set is a large jar for £21.99 (click here to view online).

 2. Summer Scoop
This melt retails for £1.49 in store (click here to view online), another tasty scent full of sugary fresh strawberry smells. It does live up to the name in regards to scents, one that gets me hungry for sure!

 3. Cappuccino Truffle
And again, this melt currently retails for £1.49 in store (click here to view online). It's scent is very chocolate flavored packed with the smell of strong dark coffee! One of my favorite delicious scents from Yankee!

Overall I am slightly disappointed with the product, as two of the melts retail together at £2.98 meaning the rest of the price (£5.01) was funded on the jelly bean melt (which I do understand is rare & exclusive) plus the egg packaging... Slightly overpriced in my opinion.. I would of much rather receive two limited edition exclusive melts (which I have noticed Yankee's site state you receive Bunny Cake as well as Jelly Bean, I have contacted them to query this as it seems unfair!). Thank you for reading, let me know your thoughts?X

So this months box arrived in style! Packed with lots of different exclusive and preview melts and it included the super cute Bunny Kisses from the Easter collection.. Not only did I fall in love with the melts, I was surprised to discover the free melt marked with a big 9 and Candy Floss text. After being subscribed to the melt crowd for 9 months now I received a free candy floss melt from the CIRCUS collection.


Spring Break - Melt Crowd Preview
Out of all the melts in this months box, I will admit this is probably my least favortie. For some reason it just really reminds me of mens aftershave spray! The smell is very strong and powerful, but also very "fresh" like.

 Ylang Ylang & Bergamot Essential Oils - Melt Crowd Preview
This melt is another favorite of this months box! The B.A.R.E collection is such a strong scent that lasts for so long! The smell of this melt is very spice orientied and very wood like! I just love it and so excited for the melt to arrive!

 Spearmint - Melt Crowd Exclusive
This melt is a very strong, powerful smell of a fresh, clean and very minty. I personal don't mind this scent, I find it very uplifting and relaxing when it's a dull day it helps to keep me awake! (Perfect when i'm trying to do assignment work!)

 Bunny Kisses - £2 Click here to view online.
I was so happy to get a bunny kisses in this months melt! First off because it's super cute, in the wrapping and without! Plus, when I burnt this it lasted a lot longer than what the other melts do, it's scent was double as strong. And it was very sweet scenteded, almost reminding me of rhubarb and custard.

 French Lime Blossom - Melt Crowd Exclusive
This is another fruity, clean scented melt that reminds me of outdoors or when you go into a flower floral shop! 

 Mango & Dragonfruit
Another melt from this months box which I love! This melt smells very magno like with fresh clean fruity hints. 

 Easter Egg - Melt Crowd Exclusive
This melt is probably my favorite out of all the melts in this months box, it's scent is packed full of a sweet, sugary, candy chocolate smell. Its a scent that isn't over powering, or too "chocolately" and is just smells so tastey! I can't believe this is an exclusive because I have fallen in love with this... All I can hope is it comes around again soon! 

 Very Vanilla - Melt Crowd Exclusive
I love this melt, as you might be awhere anything sugary and sweet is a love to my heart! The scent is a milky cream vanilla and just so yummy! I can't believe this is an exclusive because I really love this and would buy again! 

 Candy Floss 
After being subscribed for 9 months with the Melt Crowd now I received a surprise melt which I was totally not expecting! PLUS, It was the candy floss scent from the CIRCUS theme which I love. A sugary, sweet and candy like melt perfect for the Easter period!


Overall, I am really in love with this months box... Purely because all the scents are very tastey, sugary and perfect for the easter season. Plus, majority of the melts included where either preview or exclusive which was suprising to recieve so many of that type! I really can say this might even be my favorite box so far!
Let me know if you guys are subscribed? Whats your favorite? Which seems the nicest to you?X

Hey guys, so today I thought I would include something a little different on my blog! And include a post about baking in the kitchen, now I must admit I am not the best cook and usually rely on others to help and support me. One of my favorite deserts is Cheesecake and I saw this bake your own pre-made in a local store!


It came with two packets, the first being biscuit crumbles and the other being a powder cheesecake filling. I began by placing tin foil into a tin covering the edges which will help to pull the cheesecake out of the tin once finished. Then applying 75g of butter into a pan I heated it up until it had all completely melted and then applied the biscuit crumbles into the pan (ensuring it was no longer on the stove) and mixed it together fast using a large table spoon. (Fast so that the melted butter didn't dry up too fast), once the crumbles was stuck together I placed into the pan with tin foil and spread it out evenly using the back of the table spoon and then place in the fridge for 15 minutes. 




I then measured out 235ml of normal milk into a jug, before then placing it into a mixing bowl and applying the cheesecake topping. Using an electric mixer I mixed together for 3 minutes (Holding the bowl on it's side so the milk didn't spill out with the power of the mixer). After 3 minutes the mixture become very thick and almost like a foamy cream substance I applied it into the mixing tray which had the biscuit base from the fridge (ensuring it was completely cool) and using the back of a large table spoon to even it out. Then for decoration I applied some Galaxy Chocolate crumbled over the top before placing in the fridge, which I then left for around 2-3 hours before eating although the box states you could place in the fridge for 45 minutes and it should be fine.

Hey guys! So as I live in the UK it is very hard to find American Candy, recently in my local town a "Poundland" store has opened up where everything is £1. I went to check the shop out a few days ago to discover they had a very small selection of American Candy, I was so happy like a little kid in a sweet shop! I picked up one of each and tucked in as soon as I got home, I have never really tried "peanut butter" it just never seemed an attraction to me. Until I tried these.... They are covered in a milky chocolate wrapping a solid crunchy yellow substance which is a sugary peanut butter for the first few seconds they are crunchy and chewy but then they instantly melt and become a soft substance! It was literally mouth watering, I was obsessed, although in this box there isn't a huge amount it was 100% worth it!



Whats your favorite American Candy? Let me know what I should try out next! :-) X

So usually I only go to Thornton's for chocolate, but my mum picked up some fudge when passing by the other day. (I am a huge fudge lover), at first I just want to point out how cute the packaging is... I was also shocked since high end stores like this usually put very few in the packaging for price (quantity), but there was sooo many!!! They was super soft chunks which dissolved into my mouth melting away a soft vanilla taste - I loved it the taste was super strong yet so delicious because of how soft it was I could just taste the perfect texture! Although they taste amazing I could only eat about two or three then started to feel slightly "sickly" so I 100% can say these are a "treat" sweet used when relaxing or great for a celebration.





Have you ever had anything from Thornton's?What's your favorites/thoughts? Comment below! :-) Xo

This body butter was bought off The Body Shop's website for £5, they have sold out at the moment online but may or may not be available in a local store. At first when I received this product I was shocked by the size of it... I was expecting a bigger container size however it was cheaper than the other body butters I've purchased (because of the size which I forget to read!).

The smell of this product is perfect, is it super sweet and does remind me of chocolate! When I first read/saw the product online I thought it may be some what of a not so nice smell and chocolate should be food only! Not wearable, but it is perfect for in the evenings after a warm bath I apply using my index finger over my arms and it sets me in the mood for bed with a warm hot chocolate in my fluffy pajama's! :-)

This eye shadow was bought in a set off QVC, the product is in a shiny mirror like pen shape. The lid unscrews and pulls off which is really good for handbag use, as the lid wont just slide off and it ensures the product wont get damaged! 



I love this product as it is a brown shade which does have a very light tint of glitter shine, when you apply it is easy to roll on. I personally like to roll the product along close to my eyelid and then take a eye shadow brush and blend the product upwards making it more of a light shade. As with this product it can be used to blend to get a lighter, more swept shade or a bold color if you just roll the product on.




Please let me know what you think in the comments below with feedback and or suggestions :-)

The Body Shop - " Chocomania "

 This product is like a perfume spry, bought for £8.50 off the body shop website. At 30ml the size is about half of what I would see as a normal size for perfume, I use about three pumps for my neck and one pump on one wrist then rub both wrists together. The smell of this product is very chocolaty  and sweet, when I first saw the product I didn't think I would like the smell as I thought chocolate should be food only but once you've applied the product and left it to calm down after about 5 minutes it smells perfect. Not only the smell being perfect it also lasts long during the day and is recognizable to others, I've had various people ask me " What perfume are you wearing ".
