Body Product Haul :)

Hello beautiful people :)
The fact that I'm doing another haul is making me go crazy.
I am shopping way too much and today was a true test of how much self control I have and clearly I have 0.
I cannot turn away from great sales and that's going to be a problem.
I'm just going to get over all the negative emotions that I am feeling and share my exciting purchases with you because I do love everything that I bought today.
My best friends and I went to the mall strictly to shop at Chapters.
We all love reading and we love shopping at Chapters together because we spend so much time in there and we love looking for new books.
Somehow we ended up walking through the entire mall and I made purchases at Bath and Body Works, The Body Shop and Chapters.
I bought Nicholas Sparks' Safe Haven.
I have seen the movie and absolutely fell in love with it, so I know the book is going to be brilliant!
I am a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks' novels, I just love his writing and I'm a sucker for romantic novels!
Once I'm finished reading my current book, I'll start this one.
I think is going to be a great summer read :)

If you have been reading my blog, you know that Bath and Body Works is a very dangerous shop for me to go into.
I can't walk in without walking out with something.
My best friend and I tried to stop ourselves from going in, but they were having their semi annual sale and they had such good deals.
The moment we walked in, we knew there would be serious damage to our debit cards.
So here are my purchases from Bath and Body Works,
I love the True Blue Spa line and I haven't been let down by any of their products.
They had a lot of their products going for 50%, which excited me a little too much.
I bought a nourishing shower smoothie in mango butter.
I got this 295 ml bottle for $7.50.
This is a creamy smoothie that hydrates and gives the skin a rich, gentle cleanse with the aloe vera that is in it. 
This smells so good.
It's very fruity and it actually smells like mango!
So I'm very excited to try this out.
I got another True Blue Spa product.
It's their Raspberry Margarita Body Scrub.
This was also 50% so I got this for $7.50
The sugar exfoliates the skin and the oils moisturize the skin.
It smells like a margarita and I'm excited to use this on my body.
I haven't used a sugar scrub before so I'm hoping that it really helps my skin.
Another product that I purchased is a Fresh Picked Body Wash in the scent First Bloom.
This was on sale for $8.00
I'm currently using Bath and Body Works' Paris Amour body wash, but I'm running low and my friend said she loves this.
We have very similar taste in everything, so I figure that I'm going to like it too. 
The smell is very sweet and reminds me of spring.
It really does smell like flowers :)
I also bought four wall flower fillers.
I am currently using my last one in my bathroom, so I had to stock up.
Thankfully, they were on sale for 4 for $20.00
I got two of London Calling because I loved that wall flower so much, I also got Paris Daydream (which I have in a candle) and a new one called Rio Glow.
I am so disappointed that I bought this candle.
I said I didn't need anymore and yet I bought this one.
I don't even know why I approached the candles, I think I did because they were on sale. 
I got a one wick candle in Garden Freesia.
This was $5.25.
I fell in love with this candle because it is very relaxing.
I smell a bit of lavender. 
The last thing I got was a cheeky, last minute purchase.
I saw this whilst in line to pay.
I told you that I love phone cases, well guess what I also love bows! 
This was $8.00, I had to buy it.
It has colourful bows on it for crying out loud!
It even has this cute little pink bow to put in my earphones hole when I'm not using it!
Super cute!
The last thing I bought was from the Body Shop.
It's the Raspberry Body Butter.
It was on sale for $10.
Booya!
This has a sweet, candy like scent to it.

So, that concludes my haul.
Thank the heavens!
To be honest, I'm really excited to try all of these products out.
I will definitely being doing reviews once I starting using them.
So, keep an eye out for that!

Leave a comment below and let me know if you've used any of these products :)

Candles are a Beautiful Thing

Hello beautiful people :)
I have a slight obsession with candles.
I love burning them and the scent they give off.
I buy all of my candles from Bath and Body Works.
It's a dangerous place for me to go to because I'm always attracted to their candle wall.
When they have candle sales 100% of the time I will walk out with candles.
 I don't know why I need so many, but that doesn't stop me from buying them.
I love to burn candles at night.
I have the candle on my side table burning with my lights hanging around my window on.
During nights like this I am either on my bed reading or I have my laptop on my lap and I'm blogging. 
I feel so relaxed and I love spending my nights in like this.
This is my candle stash right now.
It sits in my bottom drawer of my side table.
I go through candles quite quickly because I burn them a lot, especially during the winter.
Around Christmas time I buy Christmas candles and they're usually gone once Christmas is over. 

Looking at the candles that I have, I realize that I need year round scented candles.
So knowing that I need more candles, it's going to be a struggle to walk past Bath and Body Works the next time I'm at the mall.
I've had this candle for a about a year and there is very little left of it.
It's Seaside Escape.
It's part of their summer candles and it definitely has a summer scent.
It's the one wick candle.
The smell is very tropical.
Every time I smell it, it smells like an all inclusive resort at a tropical place.
Burning this candle it immediately takes me on vacation, surrounded by the fresh air, the tropical fruit and the sunshine.
I bought this at the same time as the one above.
It's the same size.
This one is Oceanside.
I really like this candle for the summer time.
The scent is very fresh and light.
There might be a scent of sunscreen in there, which is a strong scent that is at the beach.
Being on the beach, you smell the fresh air and everything is light and fresh.
This is exactly what the candle smells like. 
This candle I bought at the beginning of Spring.
It's a 3 Wick candle in the scent Pink Sangria.
I have been in love with this scent since last summer and I had to own the candle.
This was my first candle that I burned this season and it is 90% finished. 
Unfortunately,I can't really tell you guys how it smells because the lid is melted shut.
I have no idea how it happened, I tried to open it about a week ago and I couldn't get the lid off for the life of me. 
What I can say about this is that this candle disappointed me.
Smelling the candle in the store was heavenly. 
But the second I lit it, it didn't smell nice at all.
The scent was too strong and wasn't pleasant.
It was so strong to the point where I would get headaches if I left it burning for so long. 
This is the candle that I am currently burning and I absolutely love it!
It's Gelato and I will forever purchase this candle over and over again!
This was in my Fancy Friday post last week :)
I really love sweet fragrances and this candle definitely has a sweet smell. 
But the scent isn't too heavy which is the best part. 
It smells like candy, very sugary sweets! 
What's also really great is that when this candle is burning, it still smells so sweet and it isn't overpowering! 
Such a snazzy lid
I shouldn't have bought this candle and I blame my friend for making me buy this.
I didn't need anymore but it just smelled so lovely, I couldn't walk away from it. 
I refuse to burn this candle because I don't want to finish it.
I want to keep this for as long as I can.
This one is called Paris Daydream.
It has a very perfume like scent to it.
If this was a body spray, I would definitely wear this. 
It smells romantic, if that makes any sense! 
haha!
It's another light fragrance that isn't too strong.
& my final and favourite candle.
I bought this at the same time as the Paris Daydream one.
This one is London Calling.
I can't even begin to describe how amazing this scent is!
The smell is mixture of tea and lemon.
I love this smell so much.
I can just sit here and smell the candle all day.
It isn't too strong, so it doesn't give me a head ache.
The smell is very citrusy because of the lemon.
UGH, everyone needs to go and buy this candle now!
I think this is the Gelato Candle burning.
Light a candle and give me a cup of tea and I will instantly feel relaxed.
Watching the flames burn when the candle is the only source of light, I find very beautiful.
I'm sorry if I did a horrible job at describing the scents. 
If you want to check out Bath and Body Works' website, I'll link it for you.
They're scents are great and they have amazing products.
Leave a comment below and let me know you're favourite candles and I'll definitely check them out :)
