Another
changeable week with sunshine and rain – I wouldn’t have it any other way!
A public
holiday kicked off the week and it was a lovely, rainy spring day on Monday.
River Valley was used to enhance the atmosphere and that it certainly did.
Going from my house into the garden, River Valley is actually spot on in terms
of fragrance. It is quite incredible, the scent is like a slightly enhanced
warm, rainy day. It remains one of my favourite candles to burn in wet weather.
Vanilla Lime
then warmed things up for the evening with its unique blend and back to work L
Into the
week and Sicilian Lemon gave a lovely, cheery Mediterranean atmosphere in the
house.
This was
followed by a melt of Cherry Blossom in the electric teapot melt warmer (still
available from QVC). Sort of a farewell to spring for me and the last use of
this particular tart. I’m also pleased to report that the Cherry Blossom melt
popped out of the electric warmer as easily as the jar shaped melts. A simple
press towards the side of the wax – and out it popped!
Warm Spice
brought some comfort on a chilly Friday night and then ….
…warm
weather returned on Saturday, so White Gardenia kicked things off. A lovely crisp morning fragrance.
This was
followed by a melt of Sweet Honeysuckle
(again in the electric warmer). This worked so much better than the votive I
tried a few weeks ago. Sweet Honeysuckle is a delectable fragrance, full of
sweetness, a hint of creaminess and a touch of floral.
Saturday
night saw a first ever burn for Margarita Time. It is similar to the Wild
Passion Fruit fragrance but a touch sweeter and without the peppery notes of
Wild Passion Fruit. Margarita Time had a good throw and its sweet, limey notes
were very pleasant.
Sunday
kicked off with the pure lavender notes of Blue Lavender from the Garden Time
range and we closed things down with a double movie bill in my home cinema room
and Lovely Kiku’s sweet, powdery floral notes were a nice accompaniment.
