WhicksnWhacks

I came across WhicksnWhacks on Amazon when hunting for some different companies that made wax melts.

There was a lot of scents to choose from and I liked the shapes and colours, I went for the love hearts and ordered 3 different scents - they came in packs of 9 for £3.60.

My Choices -

 Sunwashed Linen which was very strong and almost had a hint of Yankee Clean Cotton.

 Lavender which was also very strong but I felt this scent was very Soapy so it was just too strong and gave me a headache.

Sandalwood wasn't too bad, a little weak but was good enough for smaller rooms.

I would try some more of  the WhicksnWhacks wax melts, not bad little wax melts - 7/10 for WhicksnWhacks !!!!!!!



Love The Shape and Colours.

                                                                 Sunwashed Linen.

                                             Pretty Shaped Wax Melts and Lovely Burner.



Can order off Ebay and Amazon !!!!!

Yankee Candles

 
The First time I ever tried a scented candle was after I walked into a friends house and she had GLADE scented candles burning everywhere and her house smelt divine, so off I popped to the shops and started to get an addiction to GLADE and AIRWICK scented candles UNTIL the 15 March (MY BIRTHDAY) and a friend presented me with a Beautiful Yankee Tart Burner and Wax Tarts - from that day on the words HOOKED and PASSION is what I would use !!!!!!!

Out went the GLADE candles and in came a passion for Yankee !!!!! Fresh Cut Roses was the first ever Yankee Wax Tart I melted and I loved it - followed by Country Lemonade and Black Cherry (AMAZING) !!!!!!!

Soon my collection which started with 8 Yankee Tarts became bigger and bigger - I do melt other scented wax melts from other companies and love them too but first love will always be YANKEE !!!!!!!!!! I always have to have Yankee Tarts in the house and I have some firm favourites - Fresh Cut Roses, Black Cherry, Amber Glow, Christmas Cookie, Snow In Love (my ultimate fave), Christmas Rose, Sugared Apple, Lake Sunset and a few more :)

The wide Selection of Yankee Products is amazing and their is a scent or scents for everyone :) I adore the shape of the jars and once a candle has been melted to no more I wash out the jar and keep It to store bits and bobs in anything from Cotton Wool Balls to the Kiddies Crayons :)

The Wax Tarts are highly scented and fill the house with the most wonderful Fragrances :) votives make a great addition to small toilets and bathrooms and can also be chopped up and used in a wax burner - The reed diffusers are beautiful and look fab :) I have yet to try the Room Sprays but plan on that very soon :)

I believe you can't go wrong with a Yankee Candle - they make your house smell amazing and they make Fabby Dabby Gifts :)

Having a stash and buying them makes me one happy bunny - once you have tried one I really don't think you could ever stop yourself from buying another :)

Scented Simmering Granules

I have tried a few companies for their simmering granules but Regent House is the best for scent and quality :)

Simmering Granules are non scented salts or dish washer salts that are coloured and fragranced - you just pop a couple of 2tsps in your Tart Burner and stick a tea light underneath - as the granules start to get hot the scent it then realised into the air giving a wonderful fragrance around the home - when the scent starts to disappear then it is time to let them cool down and throw them in the bin - mess free and easy to use !!!!!

I have tried several scents - the scents I DISLIKED - Orange and Cinnamon, Apple and Cinnamon, Baby Powder and  Giorgio :(

The scents that I LOVED - Angel Wings, Fairy Dust, Herb Garden, Lemon and Lime, Wish Upon a Star, Peach and Water Blossom and White Musk.

Some of the bags are £1- £1.70 depending what's on offer at the time - you can get a lot of usage out of one bag - the colours are great :) worth the money :)

Simmering Granules Look Like This :)
 
                                                        in nice easy bags :) good labels :)

                          Angel Wings in a beautiful scent - a must try for that girly pretty scent :)
 

 




 

Front Porch

Good Morning - trying out a Front Porch Grubby today - Blackberry Lemon Ice Cream and it smells delish......highly scented and looks pretty :) these are from the US so I was lucky to have a lovely friend send me some to try :) I have a few more to try and can't wait !!!!!

I like the look of the grubbies, they make a nice change from the normal shaped wax melt :)

 
Love the little bags they come in - very pretty indeed :)

 
 
The Grubbies are very cute :) love the colours - bright and cheerful :)

Here are some reviews on the scents I have tried recently :)

Snuggles - this scent reminds me of Lenor Fabric Conditioner - such a comforting scent, smells like I have been on a washing binge ;) My girls said it reminds them of the clean school jumpers on a Monday Morning after being washed at the weekend !!!!!! This scent for me is a comforting scent and perfect for the living room or bedroom - easily a 10/10.

Angel - I adore this scent, girly pretty scent perfect for the bedroom, I will admit I ordered this scent in wax tarts and Magik Beanz for the fear of running out.....must order a Jumbo Candle :) 10/10.

Herb Garden - an amazing scent for your kitchen.....the herbs aren't too overpowering, just perfect and the undertones of lemon make a perfect match......5 Magik Beanz is perfect and I got 3 tea lights worth of use from this scent :)

Cheat n Clean - Love Love Love this scent......spring cleaning comes to mind when I melt this scent......I love fresh scent and packs a punch :) perfect Spring/Summer scent, though I melt it most days - especially good if you have a cat litter tray in the house ;)

Cinnamon Buns - I love cinnamon scents so this is perfect for me and the doughy bun scent shines through nicely giving a comforting scent through out the house - great way to make people think you have been baking all day LOL :)

Tuscan Dreams - fruit, a hint of spice and freshness :) I had this melting in my kitchen and the scent travelled through the house :) another seasonal scent for me......must stock up for Spring/Summer.
