So this month is very special to me with my #MeltCrowd subscription from Flamingo Candles, that's because it's been exactly TWO years of continuous subscription with them. Yup, two full years with no cancellation! And to my surprise, I received a FREE candle jar, plus this month's theme is 'tropic' and very rainforest like.


What's in the June box?
- Cola Ice Pops 

- Gin & Tonic
- Palm Tree
- Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream
- Pineapple & Lime
- Strawberry Candy
- White Musk
- Lemon Sobert 

So when I saw all the melts in my box, the first one that instantly caught my eye was the Strawberry Candy and Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream. Of course the two most sugary, sweet named ones! The strawberry candy melt isn't the smell of fresh strawberries I was expected, it's much more of that artificial strawberry scent you get with milkshakes. It still smells delicious. The raspberry ripple ice cream is actually very vanilla like to me? Odd, I'm strange, but it's such a creamy melt with a sugary sweet smell to it. 



I am happy to say, there isn't one melt in this months box that doesn't appeal to me, they all smell beautiful. I know for sure I will burn all of these scents at some point without any doubt. The palm tree, and white musk are the two more sophisticated scents out of the box that have a more relaxing smell to them.


As for the two year gift I received, it was a jar candle with the letter 'A' in the scent Raspberry & Salted Caramel. My all time favourite smell, so sweet and sugary perfect for any time of the year. The letter 'A' I found very creative, interesting fact is this subscription was taken out under my mums name. She pays for the subscription monthly and we share the melts, so assumingly the letter A came from her name as the subscription is in her name. But luckily enough, we both share the same letter 'A' for our names (Amy) which is an even better factor to this beautiful gift.


I just want to say a HUGE thank you to Flamingo Candles, not only for my free candle (which I'm beyond in love with, thank you again) but also thank you for keeping the #MeltCrowd alive all this time. They've been so creative over the two years, different themes, all melts match the themes scents, and all packaged beautifully and different each month. So thank you Flamingo Candles! 
So I recently did another "Swap" over on my Depop account for some items in return I got this Yankee Candle along with a few other stuff. Now if I am honest I was unsure if I would like the scent of this but my mum insisted I would love it... When it arrived (Small Jar) I couldn't help but fall in love with how small and cute the jar was, it was soooo adorable looking and fell into place on my dressing table. 





The scent is very clean and fresh almost reminding me of new bedding sheets you get from a store! I have honestly fallen in love with this scent purely because its so fresh it will fit perfect for any weather or feeling and is just so relaxing!

Hey guys! So two weeks ago QVC (UK) had some amazing offers over on there Yankee Candle Show, I couldn't help but resist purchasing some new candles to add to the collection!
I found this amazing set of three Large Jars for £43.50 (They usually retail for £20 each!!!) The first candle which i'm very common with is;


  1. Home Sweet Home Large Jar - This is a favorite of mine, it has a hint of cinnamon with spices blended it. It almost reminds me of the outdoors, fresh forest which is overgrown with oak wood and trees. It is just perfect and makes me exited for Christmas with it's winter feel!
  2. Cinnamon Stick Large Jar - This candle has an extremely strong scent of cinnamon burst out, it is 100% very winter like reminding me of sitting in warm blankets with a cup of hot coco!
  3. Fireside Treats Large Jar - I have never experienced this candle before, and was very exicted to try it out! When it arrived the first scent I got was super super sweet and candy like, reminding me instantly of the scent you get when you open a bag of marshmallows! I can honestly say I have fallen in love with this candle, it is my 2nd favorite (First being Vanilla Cupcake) I just love the sweet scent!
Overall, I'm super happy with this offer QVC had for us! It is still avalible on there site, let me know what your favorite Yankee Candle is? :-)

Yankee - " Green Grass "

This candle was bought in a spring collection as part of the mothers day gift set, this candle is "rare" and not sold in many places. It smells fresh like a summer day, the smell is strong when you smell up close and is a favorite smell (I like it)! :-)


Yankee - "Meadow Showers"

Again, this candle was part of the QVC spring collection from the mothers day gift set. The candle is a green color, which scent is strong! It reminds me of the outdoors in fresh green-land area, a very spring smell which is perfect for the season!


Yankee - " Early Sunrise "

This candle was part of the spring collection off the mothers day gift set from QVC. The candle is an usual dull white color almost like a light blue (Reminds me of when you was a white top and a pair of dark jeans runs into it). The scent isn't strong and hard to get a good idea of what the smell is like, all I can say is it smells clear and fresh.


Yankee - " Fresh mint "

This candle again, was part of a spring collection off the mothers day gift set from QVC. The scent isn't very strong I must say, however it does remind me of what fresh mint does smell like. Very minty, and I will say this isn't the most favorite smell of mine.


Yankee - "White Garden"

This candle again, was purchased off QVC's website for the spring collection as part of the mothers day gift set. This candle is a white color and smells very Winter like, gives me a feel of Christmas, it a very icy smell. The scent is strong and can be noticed very easily!


Yankee - " Champaca Blossom "

This candle was purchased again, as part of the QVC spring collection for mothers day gift set. The color is very "nude" like, it's smell is unusual like a fruit floral which is fresh and vibrant. I would say the smell isn't 100% strong, you have to take a big "sniff" in order to get a good smell of the scent.


This candle is currently available to buy off the official Yankee website the votive size is £1.80, but they also have this candle available in sizes / types of candle's Yankee offer check here: http://tinyurl.com/ovdswwe

Yankee - " Lilac Blossom "

This candle was bought in the Yankee Spring collection, in the mothers day gift set off QVC. This candle is the votive size, it smells very floral similar to blossom and the smell is very strong and noticeable.


The Body Shop fragrance oil & bunten burner - " Frosted cranberry "

This product was bought off the body shop last week when they had there amazing sale on, I finally got round to buying a bunten burner for 0.99p from B&M Bargains. 



Application: So I begin by lighting a tea light and placing in the center of the bunsen burner (in the hole) and then I filled the top with tap water and then added 3 drops of The Body Shop oil into it and magic happened! This product began smelling beautiful straight away, the smell is so strong I can smell it from down our hall way! 



Just remember to keep checking the amount of water in the top and once its evaporated to either top it up straight away or blow out the tea light candle otherwise it will burn the top of your bunsen!
