Yankee Candle | Easter | Spring 2014

March 5, 2014

Everywhere you look on the internet, everyone is excited about Yankee Candles new Spring / Easter candles release.

I heard about the Peep brand Marshmallow Chicks candle 2014



and I knew about the Bunny Cake, a redo from last year...was coming



 and last September I did a blog  (shown below) that mentioned the White Chocolate Rabbits candle 2014 as well as the other new scents that have come out or are coming.



And in researching if there were any more for Easter I stumbled upon this about a party in one of the Yankee candle stores in Williamsburg VA stores and I see it mentions 15 new spring fragrances.  Hmm.
I guess in a week, we will know the other names I may have missed and what other Easter goodies Yankee Candle has in store for us.

Bath & Body Works | Aloha Hawaii | Online order

March 4, 2014

My online order arrived today, not too much but a few of the items I wanted to be sure to get for the new Bath and Body Works floor set release of Aloha Hawaii.

I will get another pineapple oil warmer from the store but I got one online, two Hawaiian hula dancers PB holders, one snorkel koala PB holder, two travel sized bottle holders and two pineapple wallflower units.

Everything came beautifully wrapped, with plenty of coupons in the box.

Pretty Simple Recipes | French Macron Recipes | Marth Stewart

March 3, 2014

While I do incorporate the internet into my daily routine for just about everything, I am still very old-school when it comes to the thoughts of reading and recipes. I love the feel of books in my hand as I sit and relax my day away ...there is just something about being able to turn the page after I have read it... feeling the paper as you smell the age of it. 

I love my public library...yes.

While in the grocery store this past weekend I picked up the latest issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine ( I also renewed my subscription) with Macrons on the cover.  Beautifully bright and colorful I looked forward to reading the recipe and trying them out for myself.

When I came online to renew my subscription {10 issues for $10.00 plus $4.95 shipping}
I stopped by the Martha Stewart page to see what was new and the recipes for these delightful cookies were also shared there. I wanted to be sure to share the links here on my blog.

Department: Beauty | TARGET Beauty Box | Now Available

March 3, 2014

First thing this morning I received a text from my friend D letting me know that the Target Beauty Box was now available and she sent me the link to go and check it out. Thank you so much D, you are right it is worth it.  For those who have a Target Red Card, your cost is just $5.00.  I don't have that credit/debit card but my cost ended up being only $11.06 with shipping.

Here is what I found directly on the Target site:

From what I have read, if you want one, you better hurry as they sell out fast! 

Bath & Body Works| Special candle Preview | Aloha Hawaii

March 2, 2014

 

I've said for sometime that Bath and Body Works should preview or test candle scents with us by using a smaller candle.  Easier to ship, easier to buy and try out the scent before we commit to the larger candle and it may eliminate the excessive returns.  May.

 

So when I saw the 4oz candles in the store with regular labels I suspected there was a good chance they weren't there as testers for wallflowers or scentportables...because those are clear labels with just names and no pictures. But it made no sense since the 4oz candles were being retired sort of.

I just found out that tomorrow, March 3rd, 2014 the stores are going to be offering these three scents shown below as PREVIEWS for the Aloha, Hawaiian candle line.

They will be priced at $5.00

 

Island Waters

Lanakai Coconut

Hawaiian Hibiscus

 

Now, yesterday with the candle sale on 3 wicks of 2/$22.00 the Aloha Hawaii candles were ringing up for the sale price and if you found a store that would sell you them pre-release you were lucky.  Most stores would not, as I was told....they will be red-flagged if they did.  I have no rush to get to smell all of these to get anyone in trouble for an early sale.  The release is a week away so I can wait, but should you venture into a store tomorrow and they have the 4oz candles available, don't be surprised for this sale!

And if you don't see them, be sure to ask anyway...

 Elegant cedar thrives in the countryside of Southern France and is at the heart of this sunny blend of fresh citrus and green moss

 From garden to table, much of French cuisine includes herbs like the ones in this blend of fresh garden greens, pear blossoms and a hint of ivy

 Experience the beauty of springtime in France's Provence region with a blend of fresh raspberries, juicy peaches and a hint of citrus

 The luscious lemon scent of the plant that grows on country roads in Provence inspired a sunny blend of verbena blossoms and lily of the valley leaves

 

 

Never-ending fields of lavender are the essence of Provence and are recreated in a transporting blend of wild lavender heightened by a hint of vanilla
