Aloha! A few months ago I signed up for the Tanya's Tarte train, a subscription box which delivers 9 wonderfully fragranced wax melts to your door every month. You can see my original blog about it here!

Here is what I got in this month's tarte train!

Eggnog - Rum, Advocat, Cinammon & Nutmeg. A very boozy and festive smelling one!

Vanilla Milk Bottles - Just like the chewy sweeties you had as a little kid!

Honey - Well this one is pretty self explanatory. Smells a little bit like the honey and lemon throat sweets! 

White Freesia - Again pretty self explanatory. Just like the little white flower!

Honey Moon - Another Honey scented one, with a hint of musk!

Stonewashed - This smells just like freshly washed denim & fabric softener!

Chocolate Lime - Another one which smells exactly like the sweeties! Yum!

Pink Bubblegum - I actually have this one melting right now as I type this. Smells like those bubblegums in the pink and blue wrapper (I can't remember the name!)

Fig Cherry Almond - A lovely rich scent, I can really smell marzipan and the cherry scent.

25th - This was a free extra in this months box. The scent is a secret but it smells like toasted marshmallow to me!

If you want to sign up to Tanya's Tarte Train, you can do so here. 

There are so many lovely sounding tartes that I have on my to-buy list!

Blogmas Day 4 | My Favourite Festive Fragrances

Aloha! There is nothing I love more than a good candle, especially at this time of year. So today I thought I would do a little post all about my favourite festive fragrances!

This post is a little bit biased, as it seems to feature 90% Yankee Candles, but we all love a good Yankee don't we?

1 - Fireside Treats by Yankee Candle: Technically not just a festive candle as it falls under the "food & spice" category. This one smells like toasted marshmallows, one of my absolute favourite treats!

2 - Candy Cane Lane by Yankee Candle: This one smells like peppermint candy canes. Sugary, festive goodness in a candle.

3 - Italian Christmas Biscotti by Yankee Candle: Part of the World Journey's range, this one smells exactly like it's name, buttery biscotti with a hint of spice. Not one you want to burn when you are hungry though!

4 - Christmas Garland by Yankee Candle: This one is as close to the smell of real christmas trees that I have been able to find. I had this one lit a lot last year, and I'm sure it will be the same this year!

5 - Christmas Eve by Yankee Candle: I'm not sure how to describe this one, but the smell does remind me of Christmas Eve. I like to save this one to burn just on Christmas Eve, whilst enjoy a hot cup of cocoa!

6 - Cosy by the Fire by Yankee Candle: This one is new for 2015 and smells like cinnamon and hot toddies! 

7 - Cinammon Bun by Village Candle: One that is not a Yankee! Cinammon is a scent that definitely reminds me of Christmas a lot, and this one is super strong and sweet! Another one you shouldn't burn whilst hungry!

8 - Snow in Love by Yankee Candle: This one is lovely. It smells kinda creamy with a sharp wintery freshness.

9 - Bundle Up by Yankee Candle: Another new one for 2015, this one smells like fresh linen that has been out in the cold after being washed with a citrus scented washing powder! Lovely, crisp fragrance!

So that is my list of my favourite festive fragrances. I'm sure I'll discover more the closer to Christmas we get as well!

What's your favourite festive fragrance?

Tanya's Tarte Train

Aloha! I'm a member of so many groups on Facebook for people who love candles. Sounds sad, I know but I enjoy looking at the candle bargains other people have been buying. I recently saw an advert for a subscription box by a small company called Tanya's Tartes. I've blogged about them here previously! So of course I had to sign up for this! My first box arrived at the start of the week and I thought I'd do a little review for you all to see!

There are 9 scents in total, all for the bargain price of £9.95 a month. And what's even better is that they just send you a paypal invoice. Don't want to recieve that months box? Simple, you just don't pay the invoice! Of course, there's not much chance of me skipping a month!

The only scent I wasn't very keen on this month was Lemon Drizzle Cake. It's strange because I love lemon drizzle cake, but it made me feel a bit sick when it was burning (maybe because I had a migraine when I lit it, silly moo).

All the other scents I absolutely love! RringaDding has got to be my favourite! I can't put a finger on what it reminds me of, but it's just gorgeous. A sweet, strong smell. 

Bluebell & Euphoria are new scents for September and we all got a sneak peak! They are both lovely. Bluebell of course smells like the flower. Euphoria is a lovely musky smell, like a lovely men's aftershave.

If you are looking for a nice scented wax subscription box, then I would highly recommend this one! It's amazing value for money, the tartes smell wonderful, and they last for ageees!
