Autumn Candle Haul | prettylittlewriter

I am a huge fan of candles, especially when the Autumn and Winter months begin. 
There is nothing more cosy and romantic than wrapping up with a hot drink in a blanket surrounded by glowing candles. 
Not to mention when they smell absolutely amazing.


As you can see, I have picked up a couple more of the Black Cat range from Yankee Candle, the Wax Tart Melter and the Medium and Large Jar Holder. They are absolutely adorable, and perfect for Autumn, leading in to Halloween.



I also picked up this Halloween Candle from a shop called Home Bargains, and it really was a bargain at £2.99. It smells amazing, very sweet and almost good enough to eat!


Then I picked up one of Yankee Candle's new scents, Cosy by the fire. This smells amazing; ginger, clove and orange give it that gorgeous woody scent to create the cosy setting of relaxing by a fire with a hot drink.



The Black Cat Wax Tart Melter came with a complimentary tart, which in my case, was the Candy Corn scent. I was not a fan of this scent to begin with, however it has begun to grow on me since using the melter. However, you do have to provide your own tea lights for the bottom of the melter, I went to Poundland and bought some orange Halloween ones.




So they are my recent candle purchases, and I cannot wait to start burning them throughout the next few months!

Review | Yankee Candle Christmas Past Advent House | prettylittlewriter

Every year I always get a chocolate advent calendar, whether it be a cheap Poundland Disney Princess calendar, or a higher class Malteser calendar.

But this year I decided on something different, something I can enjoy a lot more than chocolate.


Burning candles is one of my favourite things, and Yankee Candle always seem to impress me with their huge variety of scents. So when I saw that they were bringing out a couple of Advent Calendars, I knew I had to get one.

This Christmas Past Advent House is quite possibly the cutest and most impressive advent calendar I've ever seen. It is incredibly festive and perfect for any candle lover like me.


With 23 windows containing 7 different festive scents, and the 24th containing a Christmas Eve Votive scent, it allows you to experience each different scent and see which one is your favourite.

The seven scents are;
Candy Cane Lane
  Christmas Garland
 Snowflake Cookie
Sugared Apple
 Christmas Cookie
 Christmas Memories
 Spiced Orange


The first scent I discovered on the 1st of December was Sugared Apple, and the only reason I know this is because of the colour, it is the only white tealight included. The scents are quite hard to figure out from smell alone.

Have any of you lovely people got an advent calendar you love?
