My Current Yankee Candle Collection


 I am a long time fan of Yankee Candles. Only recently though I treated myself to the black cat burner, and it has completely changed everything! The little wax tarts I feel have a much stronger scent than the jar candles and it's so easy to pick up loads of different ones and try lots of different scents. My sister got me the other burner for my birthday and I was delighted!

So the wax tarts I currently have are:

Home Sweet Home
Tarte Tatin
Pain au Raisin
Fireside Treats
Gingerbread Maple
Kilamanjaro Skies
Red Raspberry
Mango Peach Salsa
Cranberry Twist
Garden Sweet Pea

I also have about a third of last year's Halloween Candy Corn jar candle left. I absolutely love the design of this jar and I will definitely be keeping this. But I am not a huge lover of the Yankee Candle Halloween scents. Much prefer the Christmas ones by far! Also this Candy Corn one never burned right for me. It ends up with this massive flame and smoke coming out of it. But I do want to use it up so that I can clean out the jar and keep it (not sure what I'm going to do with it, but it looks pretty).


I am sure there are plenty of Yankee Candle fans out there! I want to know what all your favourite scents are, tell me in the comments!

The nicest Yankee Candle ever?


Bit of a random post today. Last week I spotted this in the Yankee Candle shop. I was quite intrigued, and when I opened the lid to have a sniff, I actually swooned! Yes, it smells exactly like chocolate! The scent is so realistic, do you know those horrible artificial chocolate scents. This one actually smells good enough to eat. I light this and instantly the room smells like a beautiful chocolate fudge cake. Perfect for any chocoholics out there!

The Yankee Candle Appreciation Post


I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't walk past the Yankee Candle shop without having a little wander in and smelling all of the candles! A few years ago, I wouldn't really bother with scented candles or anything like that, but recently it just seems that I can't get enough of Yankee Candle.

The above photo shows some candles I got recently in a little set of spring/summer scents. I love these sampler sizes, each one burns for up to 15 hours and it's a good way to try new fragrances.


My all time favourite Yankee Candle is Vanilla Lime. I seriously cannot get enough of it. The smell is good enough to eat, really! Sadly my last Vanilla Lime candle recently burned out but I do have this room spray which I really like. I like to give each room a spritz of this, and I even spray it in my car.


When my big jars burn out I like to clean them out and use them to store things in. I keep these two jars in my bathroom to store my cotton pads and cotton buds!

What's your favourite Yankee Candle?
