Follow along on my fragrant chronicles
Zahida from Handmade in Florida so appreciated the Fall themed photo backgrounds from my first Earthy sampler that I planned some wintry outdoor shots for this Winter Wonderland order too. As it happens to be colder than a witch's caress outside, at a frigid 6 degrees, I optioned to cue the fake snow instead! I had such... Continue Reading →
As I sit here on a snowy Friday afternoon, home from work thanks to a severe 12-hour stomach bug, I realize that Christmas is only 10 days away. Disheartened by the thought at first, knowing that I won't accomplish all the shopping, gathering, wrapping, cooking, visiting and general christmasing I've planned in that time. Also...

With it, I'm beginning to think that Yankee Candle has a drinking problem this year😉 This scent is sort of a combination of the two previously reviewed festive scents in the series: it has the fizzy...

Part 2 in the 2016 Festive mini melting series is Alpine Martini. I rarely order a martini these days, but I have imbibed a few cosmos in my time; therefore, I was intrigued and excited by this combination of fruity berries and woods, especially around the holidays. Yankee Candle has done this type well in... Continue Reading →
If the state of my email inbox is any indication, the holidays are right around the corner.

While still enjoying the fading rays of summer sunlight in my heart, I suppose the holiday season is... Continue Reading →
