Candles Anyone?

Hello Internet world,

I’m back with another blog. This time it's a non beauty review, You all must be wondering when the heck i’m leaving to Australia. I, like you, can’t wait to start my adventure and tell you all about it. The good news is that I’m leaving to Orlando in less than 10 days. Woohoo! That means Harry Potter World! After that I will begin my journey to Australia, which is when this blog will finally become exciting. Until then, I decided to post an equally as exciting (NOT) blog about my current obsession: Candles!

I just love me some candles. They’re so relaxing and give any room such nice lighting. Sure, you could just get a yellow light bulb, but you would miss the delicious scent that is a candle burning. Since I think it’s ridiculous to spend 15+ dollars on one candle (yes, I am talking to you Yankee candle.)

I have the Scent Portfolio ones from Target. They cost five dollars each, and the big one costs 10. My favorite scents are: Sea salt and sand, Sugar blossom, and Jasmine and sweet pea. That is in order from my absolute favorite, to my least favorite (I still love Jasmine and Sweet pea though.)

I will attempt to give you guys a description of the scents. Sea salt and sand does not smell like it sounds. It’s sweet scent, but it’s balanced out by the somewhat floral scent. It doesn’t smell like anything that I have ever smelled, so unfortunately this description may not make much sense to you. Imagine a blue raspberry Jolly rancher. Now imagine a green apple Jolly rancher, and combine the scents. Can you imagine it? Good, now throw in a light smell of the ocean (a nice smelling one), and mix in a floral scent. That’s what this candle smells like. The good thing is that when you burn this candle, the smell isn’t overwhelming. It’s light and just gives the room a hint of a really good fragrance. It’s just enough smell to be relaxing. I loved this candle so much, that I got the big 10 dollar version of it.

The second candle is Sugar Blossom. I can’t describe this very well. The scent is really nice, but it’s faint, so i’m going to try to describe it to you. It’s a sweet smell, if you can imagine that. It’s also lightly floral, and a little bit soapy. It’s clean smelling, but also sweet, with the smallest hint of vanilla. I’m not very good at this. It’s a very nice smell, but I have to warn you that it is really light. Even when you burn it, you can’t really smell it. It’s not a fragrant candle, but I really like the smell. You just need to get a good pull to catch a whiff of it. When you burn it though, you will just smell fire. This is only my second favorite because of the scent, not the quality.

The final candle is Jasmine and Sweet pea. This is my newest candle, and I haven’t had the chance to burn it yet, as it has literally only been mine for a few hours. First, I love the color of it. It’s a hot pink, fuchsia, purple color. It has a light vanilla scent, with lots of floral (i’m sorry, i’m not good at identifying flower smells). It also smells a little bit like a tart, strawberry candy. It also smells a little like a perfumed soap. I really like it because it has a strong scent, and smells really nice. I can’t wait to burn it.

These are all soy candles, so it could be the soy that gives them all a vanilla like undertone, if that makes any sense, at all.

So yes, I adore candles. They are the perfect touch to any spa day, or if you just want to relax, or if like me, you hate really bright lighting. I hope that you guys enjoyed this not so exciting blog anyway. In conclusion, you can get decent candles, for a not ridiculous price. I highly recommend that you guys go smell these candles yourself, if you can.

Just in case you were curious about what the inside of the candles look like, and because I like blogs with pictures, here’s a closer look. (I do love Sea Salt and Sand)

And yet some more pictures:

Those two are Sugar Blossom on the left, and Jasmine and Sweet pea on the right. Don’t the colors compliment each other well?

I promise that these blogs will slowly start to get more exciting.

Thank you for reading.

Bye everyone!
