The Autumn/Winter Candle Burner And Wax Melts You MUST HAVE In Your Home | Kringle Candle Company Are The Bomb!

Evening my little ones. 

I am sooooo sorry I have been MIA for a bit, I have been taking a little break from blogging and most of social media. I just needed some 'me' time and time away from the negativity that surrounds the social media circle. 

I have made a lifestyle change and with that I have decided that I will be only posting once a week now instead of the usual twice. I just won't have enough time and I don't want to rush the posts and they end up being all sorts of shoddy. So, I have worked it out that I will be only posting on a Monday for a while until I sort my schedule out. I will be posting on a Monday at an earlier time than I have been posting and if I can fit in an additional post during the week I will aim for a Thursday. 

I am keeping it real with you guys as I don't really want to drop it down but it's a realistic approach. 

:) 

I have done a couple of posts now on all things Autumn related and this post is no exception. I have noticed that you guys have responded highly to the Autumn themed posts and I have a mad feeling that you are going to LOVE this one just as much. 

I am a massive fan of Autumn and Christmas (really?! Ha) and along with that I am a huge fan of Autumn and Christmas themed homeware. Again no surprise there. This time of year is full of everything cosy, warm and indulgent and that's what I love most. 

My happy place is to be surrounded by the things I love. I love a good bubble bath, hot chocolate, book, cosy pj's, movies and CANDLES!!! 

Candles just make an atmosphere don't they?! They are calming, thought provoking and smell freaking amazing. 

For a few years now I have been in love with a candle company, I heard about them from another blogger and bought their candles and absolutely loved them. When I went to buy some more the website had closed down and I was gutted. I saved my last candle because I didn't want to burn my very last one. 

Then.... They made a come back and I couldn't be any happier. The company I am talking about is Kringle Candle Company. 

And they amazingly and kindly sent me the below to try out and review. 

I love Kringle Candle Company because their scents are true to their descriptive name. They are the most realistic I have ever smelt.

 There's nothing worse than lighting a candle and the smell you thought was going to fill the room actually was the complete opposite to what is named and it smells like absolute crap. I love their candles SO much and I would even say beat all the candle companies out there that I have tried. 

I have been in contact with a super lovely lady called Louise at the company and she offered to send me their 'Electric Melt Burner', 4 of their new 'Holiday' collection wax melts, two more of their older holiday melts and one of my favourites 'Hot Chocolate'. I was allowed to choose which burner I would like too and I couldn't be more grateful. I am a sucker for candles so I was super excited to receive the items. 

Thank you so much Louise at Kringle Candle Company for being so generous. 

Kringle Candle Company are online only and are the 'first and only authorised website totally dedicated to Kringle scented candles in the UK'. Their candles are all-white which means fellow bloggers you're in for a visionary treat as they 'emit the purest, brightest light possible' which makes it perfect for your backdrops. 

Score!

My room is white and rose gold/copper so obviously I went for the copperesque burner to match. It's so freaking cute, just look at it. The have LOADS to choose from too. This one is the 'Cello Electric Burner' and is new in, it has been developed in partnership with Woodwick. 

If you don't know what an electric burner is - it's a burner that allows fragranced wax cubes or tarts to be used in the home without the need of tealights. That's right, that means no naked flame. The wax melt is placed on the clear dish, you plug the burner in and switch it on. The bulb in the centre of piece gently warms the wax until it melts like a normal candle. This means it's safe (to an extent) to use in the home where there are children and pets about. 

Cool huh?! I think so! 

This currently retails at £29.99

If you like this one, you can find it here. 

The wax melts they sent me below are super freaking awesome, they couldn't be more 'me'. I cannot wait to burn them all. They have SO many different scents on the website so there is definitely something for everyone. These are perfect Christmas presents! 

NEW

 This one is 100% my favourite, it actually smells like Christmas. Christmas tree's with a hint of a burning fire. Just think Christmas morning or Christmas Eve. It's a beautiful smell and I will be burning this in December fo'sure. This is Christmas in a candle and all the candles retail at £2.69 which I feel is a bargain considering these burn up to 20 hours and are actually quite large.

Get it here. 

I am totally not the best at describing scents because... Well I am just not. Ha. But this one reminds me of Winter completely, imagine walking through the woods and you can smell Fir trees and the earth around you. It's so fresh and in their description there are notes of a moss smell, which is what I have been trying to pin point and now I know that was the smell.

Get it here.  

Bar the 'Cosy Christmas' one this is a mega favourite, this just smells like a god damn hot chocolate. The after smell (once you have sniffed)resonates with you and leaves you feeling satisfied. It's really hard to describe without you smelling it for yourself but the primary scent is cocoa. I LOVE IT!

Get it here. 

Writing about these products just makes me love them more because they truly are amazing. This one holds a scent of cinnamon - spices, the site describes 'scent of bread' and 'warm heath-side aromas'. This is totally true and is so warming, they all remind me of the good memories around this time of year and leaves you feeling strangely positive.

Get it here.

NEW

This one actually made me laugh because when I first took a sniff of it, it reminded me of a really nice smelling man. Ha. The company describes the scent as 'cheery', with a 'citrus berry essence amid fresh mahogany'. Now, excuse my ignorance but I am not too sure on what mahogany is meant to smell of. Wood? Either way this smells soooo good!! Definitely a masculine scent this one.

Get it here.

  

NEW

'Winter Wonderland' is not dissimilar in scent to to the 'Snow-Capped Fraser' melt. It is softer I would say but totally smells of pine and woodlands, this scent brings back a lot of memories when I used to go on autumn walks with my parents. It's so cute. 

Get it here.

NEW 

The last one in my collection is 'Leaves' and this was the one I was most excited to see. I have been searching high and low for a UK candle company to bring out an Autumn smelling candle. America have loads and I was like "YAS" when I got this. 

It's really hard to get a scent that is exactly like leaves. When I first smelt this I could 100% smell the citrus and spice vibes and the after smell brings out the wood aroma. I can't wait to burn this one and see what it's like in a room. 

Get it here.

 The real test was to actually try the burner and candles out. I wanted to test the least Christmas scented one out because lets face it, it's October, so I went for my 'nice man' smelling one 'Frosted Mahogany'. 

I plugged it in, placed the plate on top and then popped the melt in the centre ready to burn. 

I would say it took around 5 minutes for the bulb to warm up the wax melt and when it did I was TOTALLY impressed, the smell was immense and filled the whole room with in minutes. 

You are advised not to leave this burning for longer than 3 hours which is the norm for a heated product and not to obviously touch the plate whilst hot. 

The light this burner gives off is truly magical, it just brings this season to life, it's warm, glistening and super cosy. True to the description of their products this gives off the most amazing lighting. I am so impressed it's unreal. 

See below at the results. 

I will only post about products that I truly believe in and love and I tell you now, if you love homeware, candles and this season you NEED this is your home. 

Yes, I was sent this product but if you have followed my posts for a while you know if there is something I don't like I will state it. Being sent a product does not cloud my judgement as I have been sent things that I don't get on with and haven't featured. 

This company is amazing, the products are awesome and their pricing is so competitive. This electric burner and melts would make a pretty special gift for someone. With Christmas coming up why not treat yourself or your loved ones because you will not be disappointed that's fo'sure! 

My mum is in love and wants one for herself and my Nan. Ha. In fact she's trying to steal mine from me. 

NO! 

I really hope you liked this post, it was a lengthy one but I wanted to give you as much info as possible.

What's In My Bedroom | Bedroom Tour.

Oh hello there :) 

You're back! 

Or, you are new... If so welcome! 

It's Friday tomorrow, I cannot believe how quick this week has gone. I see Busted again on Saturday and I am so very excited. 

I am currently freaked out because I seem to have occurred a weird bumpy rash over my cheeks and under my eyes. I have broke out in spots too on my t-zone. I just don't know where it's come from. I haven't worn makeup for a couple of days and only used my usual skincare products. My face right now seems to be really sensitive. First eye infections from makeup and now this. I just don't actually understand. 

If anyone has had something similar please let me know. I get real anxious about things like this. 

I am now into my six month of job searching and I am slowly giving up on any hope I had left in me. I feel like I am living a nightmare right now, job wise. Give a woman a break man!! 

I spend A LOT of time in my room either blogging, job searching, singing or well just decorating it. So I thought I would give y'all a little insight into my lone wolf den and where I spend most of my time. 

It's my little 'me time' space. It's where I get creative, have a cry, watch countless hours of movies/tv and where my boy Cody lives. My room used to be black and purple and at the time I thought it was a great idea until soon after I felt like I was living in a bat cave home to Dracula. It had to go. It felt negative and dark. 

Now, it's white with splashes of copper and rose gold and a hint of grey. It still needs work and I still have a lot left to do furniture, carpet and accessories wise. 

I hope you like it and let me know what you think or if there is anything you would recommend putting in there. 

I recently moved a lot of my makeup and accessories into my dressing table drawers because I am slowly running out of room for my things. Ha. I keep everything at hand so I can do my makeup all in one place.

Yay my new ring light!! Can't wait to start using this for my makeup looks and YouTube videos.

Cody my Guinea Pig. A moody one at that. Ha. 

Yep, that's correct, you aren't seeing things. I do have two wardrobe drawers filled with snacks. *Covers eyes*. 

 So that's my room. I need to get rid of that nasty carpet though. It's vile!!! I love the fact my room is white, which is funny because I used to find white 'boring'. I can now add any colour I want as an accent and it just works. I love homeware and for things to co-ordinate, it's my space for my thoughts and dreams. A piece of me that no one can destroy. 

My happy place.

Staying Positive And Happy When Life Throws You Lemons | 5 Tips On How To Keep That Good Karma Flowing.

Have you ever just sat back and looked at your life as a whole and thought 'man, things need to change'?

Have you ever let people's comments or actions really get to you?

Have you ever looked in the mirror and said out loud "Urrrgghhhh"?

I have done all of those.

Trying to stay happy, focused and positive when you're feeling like utter crap can be hard especially when things might not be going your way. 

Right now for me, I have been job searching since before Christmas. I really didn't like my job and I needed to move on. 

I am still searching, it's a ballache... If you're in a similar position to me you will know the frustration I am experiencing. 

Rejection emails for jobs you didn't really want anyway, no replies at all or stupid recruitment companies asking you to "come in" and fill out a million forms before they even send your application off.

This could of easily got me down but I changed my train of thought. 

'What is meant to be is meant to be'. 

I am thinking positively about it all knowing that something will come along when the time is right. 

I think you have to think that way otherwise you will end up sitting in a corner and crying. 

Don't wallow in it, do everything you can to power though the bad patches. 

I am lucky I have family to support me with a roof over my head and I know some people don't have that. 

Being happy is surrounding yourself with positive things. Things/people and even animals can bring out the best in you but only if those things have 'good karma'. 

If you're feeling shitty, you don't want ANY negativity around you at all, that will only bring you down. 

And if you're in a place where you're content you need to keep it that way. 

This is what I do to keep any jealousy, negativity, bad vibes and awful situations from bringing me down. 

It can be hard but it can be done. 

Tips On How To Keep That Good Karma Flowing

1. Delete/block any negative people out of your life.

- Life can be full of weird people. People who are jealous of you succeeding, people who cheat and lie their way through life, people that copy things you do and try and pass it off as their own and people who are full of hate that they will go out of their way to try and bring you down. 

Ummmm nope... Not here bitches. 

I have been slowly learning that not every opinion matters only those of loved ones. 

I have had people leave sarcastic comments on positive things I have done and the only reason I can think of as to why is because they are jealous. Why go out of your way to even comment otherwise? Don't like something? Walk away.  And that's what I do. I don't even engage. 

I have also had someone I knew and that person I didn't care too much for, troll me on Twitter, get their friends to leave me nasty comments on my old YouTube channel, stalk my social media accounts, copy my blog content ideas and writing style(mutual friends also alerted me to this) and even sourced me out (after I blocked them) on their bf's account to send me a hate message. 

I mean wow, do people even still do this? Trolling to the extreme right?! What's your childhood trauma love?! It really is sad but those types of people exist unfortunately. 

Seeeee yaaaa. :) 

It used to get me angry but now I just laugh and pity that person because they obviously act that way because I have something they haven't got. 

Take it as a compliment guys not a negative. Feel proud of yourself!

Some people don't realise what you have on them in life and when you're in that position, laugh because you are obviously the bigger person. Take from that what you will.

In that instance BLOCK, BLOCK, BLOCK. As soon as you deal that move you will feel instantly happier. I did, those people are out of your life and they can keep their big nose out of yours.  

Haters got no game here. 

2. Take time out for yourself

- 'Me' time is important, if you're working, we all know that is stress in itself. Take a breather, take a step back and access the situation. 

Is it worth all this stress? I mean really?!

I have dealt with a lot of stress whilst at uni and working, where people will take the pee, try to screw you over or you just don't like what you're doing. 

This is when 'me' time is important. 

Go home (obviously not in the middle of a working day, ha), take a bath, burn some candles, wear the comfiest clothes possible, make a hot chocolate and just RELAX. 

Make a list of the things that are bothering you and how you can conquer those issues. I ALWAYS do this and it helps me stay in control of a situ. 

As soon as you stop stressing about this, good things come your way because your mind is free and able to process. 

I have anxiety and have done since my first day at high school. It was real bad when I was at uni and I remember being in the head lecturers office having a panic attack. 

I still have that and get those but I now control it and don't let it control me. This is how I know what really works to calm your body and mind down. 

Things are always better after a good nights sleep and that's true. 

"Sleep on it" is such good advice let me tell you. 

3. Surround yourself with things that make you feel excited.

- Excitement releases endorphins and adrenalin and those in turn make you feel instantly happy, positive and refreshed. 

You don't even have to spend money to bring the goodness into your life. Forget about what you don't have and focus on what you do have. 

These last few months I have really come to recognise this being jobless. There is always someone worse off than you. 

Usually a hater. Ha. 

Watch your favourite movies with some of your favourite foods in tow, invite your friends over for a girly night, just go and sit in the garden and enjoy Mother Nature whatever it is that makes you happy do it. There's no better feeling than contentment. 

For me my happy place is, taking a bubble bath, lighting candles, getting into my PJ's, ordering pizza (usually), sticking on a movie and doing my makeup. 

How cute does that sound. Even if you do it say once a week it helps your mentality. 

4.  Work hard and reap the rewards

- It's true the saying, what you put in you will get out. 

If you're going to be negative and lazy about something you're only projecting negativity into the universe and you my friend will only get crap karma. Period. 

Work your freaking ass off man in whatever your doing and if it's not recognised move on. 

I did, you work your ass off in a job and it's not recognised then they don't deserve you and someone else will. Simple. 

You work hard on a project, keep your ideas original, do your own work and not get others to do it for you ( I know someone who did that) and don't let others get in your way. 

You will get there on your own merit and if you remain positive, even if things go tits up, good will come. 

There's no point copying others work or slacking and getting others to do something for you and claim credit for it. 

It's cheating, lying and totally not honest. 

Do you want to be that person? I don't, so I will work my butt off no matter what comes my way and keep working until I get the things I want. 

Just thinking that way allows for happiness. You have a goal. 

5. Love yourself and how you are made.

- It's easy to get swamped into media ideologies and forget who you really are. 

No one is perfect, lets get that one straight but there is perfection in imperfection.

No one is born airbrushed, with perfect teeth, a figure like a supermodel and flowing locks. 

What you will find is, 90% of those people you see on social media and in magazines are in fact airbrushed to shit, had braces or have veneers, worked their ass off at the gym to get their figure and well... Their hair, if it's down to their ass then it's freaking extensions. 

The other 10%, well that's us, we are just the same at the other 90% of people except we need to think that way. 

Everyone has hangups about themselves, even the 'perfect' celebrities, we are all human.

What we need to learn however is to be happy within ourselves. Once you are content with life (steps 1,2,3 and 4)then you can work on your own exterior. 

Pictures only allow others to see what you want them to see. Remember that guys. 

Whether you want to make cosmetic changes (adults), lifestyle changes or even attitude changes. Do them, change can be positive. 

I am not a fan of change but it can be in your best interests sometimes and once you have distinguished what it is you need to change about yourself don't be afraid to do it. 

To me everyone is beautiful and unique, we are made the way we are for a reason. 

I really don't like my overbite, haven't done since I can remember, I will be getting invisible braces when I get a job because that is my biggest hangup. Once that is done I will be at peace with myself completely. 

In the words of Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror "make that change!"  

I hope my 5 tips on happiness and positivity have helped you or inspired you in any way. 

These are tried and tested methods by myself and have worked for me. They might not completely work for you, so adapt those points to suit you. 

 Remember, screw the haters, copycats are those without imaginations, find your happy place, work your tooshie off and most importantly relax, remain calm and love who you are. 

In the words of me... "Be You Be Free". 

Adiós Amigos. 

Love
