Is it really
October? As I sat basking in the sunshine outside yesterday with my sunglasses
on it was hard to believe! But the calendar, darker evenings and Halloween
decorations appearing in my household tell me otherwise.
I’m so
excited about the Yankee Candle fan gathering we’re planning to hold later in
the month. Not only are the lovely Yankee Candle Brand Ambassadors Rosa Speyer
and Steven Corfield coming, but also lots of great people from our TEAM YANKEE
Facebook group. I’ll be sure to give a write up on here in due course. It’s not
too late if you think you might like to come, you can message me on Twitter or
Facebook for further details.
Anyway
candles….!
Vanilla
Satin was the first jar burn of the week and it has such a luxurious and
sophisticated air about it.
Amber Moon
followed with its soft amber notes, perfect for those warmer evenings or
even to inject a little cosy feeling into a colder night.
Egyptian
Musk is a delightful new release in 2015 with its atmospheric muskiness (as you’d
expect from its name!)
Tropical
Fruit is a nice one for late summer/early autumn. Though the fruit aroma is
decidedly tropical, it has that ripened feel about it.
Serengeti
Sunset got my weekend off to a start with its beautiful, yet probably too
subtle citrus and amber notes.
Country
Heather gave a sharp breath of floral air on Friday night.
Saturday
morning and what is better to wake up with than Pink Grapefruit? Both to eat
and in the lovely aroma from Yankee Candle.
Buttercream
followed and it really is just about the richest vanilla fragrance that Yankee
do.
For the
evening it was a first ever burn of Cotton Candy. Just as delightful as I
imagined, it has that full on candy floss at a fun fair sweetness to it.
Water Garden
saw in Sunday with its tranquil powdery floral aroma.
This was
followed by Red Apple Wreath to go along with Ann’s First Sunday Of The Month
burn on Team Yankee. The theme this time around was any red or pink candle and
my wife picked out this one for an early festive treat. (Regular readers will
realise this wasn’t my choice this early in the season lol).
And finally
to wrap things up with its sticky sweet smokiness, the delightful Fireside
Treats.
See you
soon!
