I love the smell of freshly laundered towels. Don’t you? I recently discovered Yankee Candle, an amazing scented candle brand from the US of A. One of their classic scented candles is called Fluffy Towels, and OMG it smells just like soft and cozy towels, fresh out of the wash. Within about a half an hour, my entire home was filled with this soft, subtle, yet distinct calming scent of fluffy towels. I’m in luuuurve! And it doesn’t stop there! Yankee Candle have tons, and tons of gorgeous scents… A Child’s Wish, Beach Flowers, Black Coconut, Cinnamon Stick, Clean Cotton, Fireside Treats, Fresh Cut Roses, Home Sweet Home and Honey Glow are just some of the scents you can fill your home with. I popped into their stand alone store at Woodlands Boulevard (Pretoria) and could have easily spent all day there, just indulging in each and every scent. After much sniffing, and ahhing, I eventually purchased Fluffy Towels and a gorgeous Candle Topper, because I thought it looked pretty amazing and who knew, you could accessorize your candles?! I’ve been burning my Fluffy Towels every day and now that I’ve fallen in love with Yankee Candle, I can’t wait…

Yes, Yes, I know, I love everything, but I really, really, ree-hee-healy love Jo Malone. It’s the ultimate pamper product. If you follow me on twitter, you’ll know that I’ve got a few new goodies to share with you from Jo Malone, but for now, check out these Limited Edition Jo Malone David Hicks candles. The late British decorator, David Hicks is considered one of the most influential interior designers. Jo Malone collaborated with Hicks son, also an interior decorator, Ashely Hicks to bring you three limited edition, 200g candles in distinct David Hicks geo-print styling. Gorgeous for any room and to invigorate any mood, these candles are available in Lime Basil & Mandarin, Red Roses and Pomegranate Noir. I got to sample the gorgeous Lime Basil & Mandarin scented candle from this collection. It has this sweet yet citrusy scent that reminds me somewhat of a sexy man’s cologne. I also love the lime green print. I wish I had six of these to make a gorgeous set of glasses after I’ve indulged in 45 hours of pure scented pleasure (that’s the estimated burning time per candle). Can’t wait make thi the signature scent of my new home – yippie!!!
