What I Have Been Melting


Good Morning - sunny in Bedford though a little nippy at the moment - as I sit here typing my little girl Isla is sitting on a bar stool watching a Barbie Movie from the telly on the kitchen surface - my way of stopping all 3 girls from fighting over who is going to watch what :)

I received another package this morning from Tartalicious, all smelling just gorgeous, will melt and review soon ready for blogging.......

Yesterday I decided on melting two wax melts from a company called Candle Scents.......

Mermaid Kisses was what I decided on for my Living Room.....such a pretty scent with slight floral undertones but with a fresh kick to it......it filled the whole room with its wonderful scent and melts like a dream :)

For the kitchen I decided on Bahama Spa - Sea, Sand and Sun.....relaxing scent with a feeling of sunshine.....

Parma Violets handmade by Secret Bundle......smells just like the SWEETS !!!!! the beautiful scent filled the hallway carrying itself all the way upstairs into the bedroom......delightful and sweet.......lovely little addition from my SUBBY SCENT BOX :)

Today I have gone for Rosegirls Lavender and Rosegirls Blackberry Amber - the Lavender scent it just what it is, Lavender.....which I adore and find such a relaxing scent which is fab when I have 3 girls to run around after ;)

Blackberry Amber......deliciously fruity with such a warm undertone......stunning scent 10/10.

Sunday Scents


Good Morning Fellow Scent Wax Lovers !!!! Sunny Morning in Bedford and Hubby's Birthday :)

I have picked out 3 scents for today - first of all I going to start with the scent I picked from my Subby Scent Box -
A Cute Cupcake styled candle !!!
 
I removed the little chick and confetti and decided for a very pretty effect to place the candle in a Sundae Dish - how pretty :)

This scent is sweet and delightful - it has a perfect blend of creamy vanilla and tingle the taste buds lemon - it smells delightful, like summer and baking - this is a very pretty addition to The Subby Scent Box !!!!!

The funny side to this scent was when my 3 year old daughter Isla saw it she though it was a Birthday Cupcake for my Hubby's birthday and asked for a bite - out popped the bottom lip when I explained to her it was actually a candle but the little chick soothed the disappointment !!!!!

Making My Own Scented Simmering Graunles


I often buy Scented Simmering Granules off the Internet which I love - small granules that are coloured and scented - place 2 tsp in your burner and pop your tea light underneath and as the granules heat up the scent fills the room :)

For me Scented Granules really are a great idea so I decided to make some of my own -


 
so this is what I needed

1 bag of Dishwasher Salt Granules (not flakes)
A choice of scented Oils
and food colouring

I measured on 300 grams of the granules and poured them into a jar and then added the whole bottle of scented oil and then food colouring (as much or as little as you want).

Place the lid on the jar and shake as much as possible so the colour and oil blend very well......line a baking tray with tin foil or baking paper and pour the granules evenly over the surface - let dry in a safe place for 24-48 hours.

Once dried pour the granules carefully back into a clean jar and place on the lid.
 

I made Sweetpea, Lemon and Lime, Bubble Gum and Pear Drops.


I will be sending some for a couple of my friends to try so I spooned some of each scent into little bags and labelled them which looks very nice indeed.

If you like Scented Simmering Granules and what to make your own just go ahead it is so simple :)

Such a lovely Little Project to do with your kiddies :)

Happy Scented Simmering Granules Making !!!!!!!!!!
