Sweet Scents

We all love the smell of a burning candle and a spritz of perfume, so why not blog about my favourites! I love being at home and lighting a candle, with the aroma filling the whole house. It feels warm, inviting and homely especially when you find a scent that you love. 

I am always a fan of vanilla candles, with my favourite being by the brand Ecoya. They do a delicious Vanilla Bean fragrance, which warms the house with a a rich vanilla and slighty butterscotch smell. They are natural soy wax candles and burn for up to 55 hours!

Glasshouse also do a lovely range of fragrances, my favourite being the Montego Bay. This is also a sweet scent, which has tones of coconut and lime. Smells so good I could almost eat it (please don't eat your candles!)

I am yet to buy any of the Diptyque fragrances but I definitely have my eyes on them. I love the packaging and have heard a lot of good things about the scents! What are your favourite Diptyque candles?

Perfume is also a necessity and I feel that it completes me! Rarely do I step out of the house without spraying on one of my favourite fragrances. I think it is really important to have your own personal scent. It all depends on personal preference and what suits your skin, but go with a scent that you love and feel comfortable with. 

I have always liked quite light and sweet fragrances, like Daisy by Marc Jacobs or Miss Dior Cherie by Dior. One of my first perfumes that I wore was Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle and I think I have gone through 4 or 5 bottles over the years. It is richer than Daisy, but it also has a distinct floral scent. I find it is suitable for day or night, which makes it very versatile. 

I recently received Intimately Beckham, Victoria Beckham's perfume, and have been loving it as it has a mostly white floral scent. This fragrance is full of life and has a rich, luxurious feel about it. It is more of a sophisticated fragrance and I prefer to wear this at night. 

What are your favourite fragrances?

March Favourites

This month has brought a lot of happy moments, so I thought I would share my favourite things of this month!

A new item to my wardrobe this month is my Witchery ankle boots! I love these tan leather boots and feel they are a MUST for autumn/winter. The colour is something different than your usual black boots and tan is a colour that goes with a lot. I have been wearing these with my black skinny leg 'wet look' Zara jeans and a few dresses (I want it to be winter already!)

I have been wearing two perfumes a lot this month. These two are staples to my perfume collection and are always my favourite. 

Daisy by Marc Jacobs and Miss Dior

Due to the warm weather still lingering around, these scents have been perfect due to the floral fragrance. Who wouldn't want to smell like a flower?!

I went on a makeup shopping spree this month and picked up some new cosmetics to add to my collection. I started using a new MAC studio finish powder. I was lucky enough to have a spare of these in my cupboard, which was received as a present. I love this product and have been using it for about 4 years! It has a lovely flawless, matte, full coverage finish. This makes it easy to apply and always makes me feel good!

I found a new brand called Models Prefer, which was reasonably well-priced and had cute, compact packaging. I bought a cherry pink lipstick, four colour bronzer, four colour eyeshadow palette and a blush. I needed a new bronzer and wanted a few extra colours for eyeshadow. The eyeshadow colours are great, very earthy and natural tones. 

I am obsessed with bunnies at the moment! Easter is coming and there are bunnies everywhere in the shops. They are so adorable. So I was super surprised when my boyfriend bought me this adorable bunny backpack from Seed! It was such a sweet gesture and I was not expecting it. It made me so happy. Look how cute it is!



My favourite drink of this month is 'Charlie's Lemonade Quencher'. It tastes amazing! It really is like an old fashioned lemonade you would find at a homemade lemonade stand. 

I hope next month brings many more favourites!
