Toasted Graham Latte

Toasted Graham Latte

This candle on cold reminds me very much of Pumpkin Donut Shop, while burning there are slight differences but they could be in the same family! This is a gourmand, bakery candle

Notes
•toasted graham cracker
•vanilla bean
•buttery toffee chip
•drop of espresso

Toasted graham cracker is the more dominate note, it’s warm, slightly sweet. It reminds me of when I open up a brand new pack of graham crackers. Vanilla bean is another strong note, adding a marshmallow creamy sweetness. Buttery toffee chip helps create a richer smell, adding a warm butteriness, which compliments the graham cracker well. The drop of espresso is very much a drop! It’s really light, you won’t recognize it without looking for it but there is an espresso scent on the end of the fragrance

Overall it makes sense why this is a “latte” candle, it’s a very light espresso fragrance, I imagine a latte with fluffy vanilla cold foam and crumbled graham crackers sprinkled on the top!

Throw is good, it’ll fill a small to medium room, you can still identify it in a large room too! She’s very sweet so after a little while I found myself wanting to give her a break

Whenever I want cozy, cafe/bakery energy in the house I like to burn her. If you’re looking for another coffee candle I wouldn’t recommend but if you’re looking for a light lingering espresso that gives you a cafe vibe you should grab her!☕️🤎

Sun-Ripened Raspberry

I was so undecided to burn these Candle Day candles, but why buy if I won’t enjoy🤷🏻‍♀️ This is a fresh, clean and sweet candle

Notes
•sweet berries
•sheer sunlight
•sugar crystals

Sheer sunlight is one of those fragrance notes that aren’t easy to guess what it smells like, but I perceive this as sun dried linens, it’s the strongest note while burning. It’s airy, fresh and slightly like clean laundry. Sweet berries adds a soft fruity sweetness in the background and the sugar crystals ends us off on a subtle sweet note

Throw on this one is good, it’ll fill a small to medium room with no problems. I love to burn this in the living room while I clean or in a space while I’m doing laundry

If you enjoy clean, fresh &slightly fruity scents I’d say next time you see this, give it a try. I also want to mention if you’re buying this because you’re expecting raspberries- you’d be disappointed

Overall this smells like linens freshly washed in sweet detergent that’s been hung out to dry under the summer sun. I love this because as a kid my mom used to sun dry our clothes& this brings me back to those memories☀️🧺

Blueberry Cornbread

This just came out with the “Preserves” collection and omg… do not hesitate to pick this up! If you love bakery gourmands this is right up your ally! She’s sweet and comforting

Notes
•skillet baked cornbread
•fresh blueberries
•drizzled honey

This is a blueberry candle! The fresh blueberries are juicy& sweet, like warm blueberries baked into a dessert. The skillet baked cornbread is what makes this candle so special- it really does smell like warm, cozy cornbread made with love. The drizzled honey adds an extra layer of sweetness, helping the skillet baked cornbread note smell richer, golden & freshly baked

Throw is so good, this candle will fill a larger room with ease. I love to burn this in the kitchen but the fragrance drifts into the whole house

This is one of those candles that are true to their name. It really does smell like blueberry cornbread, if you love blueberry scents and are a gourmand girly, do yourself a favor and grab her!🫐💙

Pink Apple Punch

I love a good apple scent and this one is for sure unique in my collection! This candle is bright, sweet/ feminine and fruity

No surprise the crisp apple fragrance note is the strongest coming through, but the notes blend very well, it’s an apple melon-y candle. Bright and slightly tart, think green apples. The crispiness of the apple gives it a freshness that prevents this from becoming too sweet. The melon sugar crystals add that sweetness that makes this candle so enjoyable and different than usual apple scents. It’s juicy, and the melon adds a smooth softness

Throw on this one is good! You can burn in a medium space and you’ll be able to still enjoy fragrance. I also love the purple wax!

If you’re looking for a sweet, fresh melon, crispy apple candle you’d enjoy her! Great for either spring, summertime, or somebody who enjoys apple or melon scents. This is the perfect amount of playful and sweet that doesn’t go into gourmand territory! 🍏🍈

Strawberry Peach Sunset

For the peach lovers! This is a fruity, warm, sweet peach candle that feels like a summer afternoon

Notes
•peach nectar
•fresh strawberries
•vanilla sweet cream

The peach nectar fragrance note is the strongest one here, I will say though that this is not like other peach candles, in the sense that the peach is toned down by the fresh strawberries note in this candle. You don’t directly get the scent of strawberries but instead something lightly fruity/ berry-like, and sweet. It really helps brighten the candle. The vanilla sweet cream is also lighter but it rounds out the overall fragrance ending on a softer note, but you don’t get too much vanilla from this, it’s just barely there. I could say too it’s slightly creamy

Throw on her is light. Probably best to burn in a smaller room, on the candle warmer it’s a bit stronger so I’d say candle warmer preferred!

The name of this candle really suits the fragrance well, I was hoping for more of the strawberry to come through but it’s still a sweet summery candle that feels like a mellow afternoon. If you enjoy peach scents I think you’d like her!🍑🌅

Sugared Lemonade

Probably one of my favorite lemon scented candles in my collection! This is a bright, sweet citrus summer scent, perfect for the summertime

Notes
•fresh lemon juice
•sugar crystals
•crushed ice

The fresh lemon juice is ofc, the strongest fragrance note! It’s a sweet lemon, like a freshly squeezed lemon with the sugar crystals note adding a delicious sweetness. It’s not a bakery sweetness either, it’s more like a juicy sweetness. The crushed ice note leaves a refreshing feeling on the end of the scent, making this feel like a chilled lemonade drink

I wouldn’t say this is exactly like a lemonade though, but more like the idea of an ice cold glass of lemonade.. like you’re sitting outside with a sweating pitcher, full of ice and lemonade, lemon wedges floating inside of it. It’s a good sensory experience of fresh lemonade

I love to burn this while cleaning the house or whenever I want my home to smell fresh and summery! The throw is good, she will fill a small to medium room while burning. No wax or burnt wick smell!

If you’re looking for a sugary lemon candle without it slipping into a very tart lemon/citrus or candied lemon territory I think you’d enjoy this one! 🍋🧊

Meet Me In Miami

This is one of those scents that are perfect for the summer and unique to the season! This is a warm, soft, and creamy tropical candle that really embodies the summer time. Think walking down a street in Miami on a hot summer afternoon, sun is beaming down and you’re drinking a sweet fruity drink

Notes
•breezy palm trees
•cabana coladas
•sun-tanned days

The breezy palm trees fragrance note brings hot air energy to the candle, it’s not breezy or airy but more heavy and hot, like how Florida air can be. The strongest note is cabana coladas- I wouldn’t say this is straight up a coconut or pineapple scent like how coladas are. It’s more creamy and tropical, it honestly comes off as bananas to me.. a sweet and soft scent not an artificial banana. Sun-tanned days note rounds off this candle, adding more warmth and softness, giving more depth than it being just a tropical fruity candle

The throw while burning was not good. It was so light I couldn’t even smell it, even in a small room. However, I threw it under my candle warmer and Wow!!! What a difference! Under a candle warmer she can fill a small to medium room!

Overall this is such a fun summer candle, the packaging is cute and adds to that warm summer vibe the fragrance gives off. For sure different than a fruity tropical drink candle, she’s got depth and captures this time of the year well. The unexpected banana fragrance just makes me appreciate her even more!🌴🍌

Bounty Hunter

I usually don’t enjoy very masculine scents but this is one I like to burn at nighttime when I’m watching tv or just relaxing. This is an earthy, woody and dark candle

Notes
•beskar sea salt
•solar woods
•protective patchouli

The beskar sea salt fragrance note gives this candle a slight “clean” smell. It’s almost like a salty breeze. Solar woods brings a lot of depth, adding a dry warmth that keeps this from being too cologne like, but instead a more polished/ sophisticated warm wood. There is a slight earthiness from the protective patchouli note, kind of grounding the overall candle. I think this is what also gives it a nighttime energy, but it’s not like a dirty incense that patchouli sometimes can be

I do get a smooth cologne scent from this candle, but it’s not in a bad way. It just smells like somebody wearing an expensive, darker fragrance at night. Like rugged but still polished. I’d say this might be best to burn during the fall/wintertime to really appreciate the energy this candle brings, but if you like darker fragrances you’d enjoy this year round!

Throw is phenomenal, this is a candle that will do well burning in a larger area, filling the room. No burnt wick or wax smell either!

I liked this one more than I thought I would when I first smelt it on cold, it brings a unique fragrance to my collection. I’m not a huge Star Wars fan either but I’m glad I was able to grab a sophisticated darker candle like this!🖤🪵

Island Margarita

This is a candle I didn’t think I’d like as much as I do! If you’re looking for a fruity, citrus, bright and tropical drink candle you should try her!

This candle smells like a lime zest mango drink, so I was shocked when I didn’t see lime in the fragrance notes!, but when I saw the mandarin note it all clicked for me. This note is very citrusy, really bright and tangy. The island mango stands out the most& adds a smooth, juicy sweetness which really helps balance out the citrus& the sea salt is in the background but can’t be overlooked since it adds a refreshing summery touch to the overall fragrance -keeping it from being an overly fruity candle

Throw on this one is good, I became nose blind to it after having it burn for a little while so it’s an overall “lighter” fragrance but when I left& re-entered the room I smelt the sweetness again. Good thing too is there’s no wax or burnt wick smell

I think this is a great summer candle, I’d probably love this more as a soap. It would be great for in the kitchen or living room during the summer to really sweeten up your space🍹🥭

Rapunzel

The cute flowers on the packaging are so pretty and really match the energy of this candle! This is a soft floral candle

Notes
•glowing sundrop flower
•rich nectar
•golden musk

The glowing sundrop flower fragrance note is the strongest coming through, you get a soft, sun-warmed floral that is complimented well by the rich nectar note, which brings a sweetness to the floral. This note doesn’t go to candy-like territory but it adds a sweet touch to the floral, making it feel gentle. The golden musk really ties everything together, ending the scent off on a smooth coziness. It balances out the floral well

Originally I categorized this in my summer collection but after burning for a little while I think I’d appreciate this more during the spring

Throw surprised me, given the notes this isn’t a “strong” candle, as everything leans towards a softer tone but she will fill a larger room! Very subtlety though, not in a nauseating way. She almost smells like soft rose petals - a perfume rose not a freshly picked rose

There is no burnt wick or wax smell, so the quality is there as well!

If you’re looking for a dainty, gentle& soft floral you would enjoy her!🌼

Blueberry Bellini

First of all the packaging on this one is so cute! You also usually see peach Bellini so when I saw blueberry I had to pick her up! She’s fruity, bright and refreshing

Notes
•wild blueberry
•bright citrus
•sparkling prosecco

No surprise here that the wild blueberry fragrance note is the strongest! It’s a sweet fresh blueberry rather than a bakery dessert. The bright citrus does a really good job at keeping up the overall freshness in the candle &there isn’t a orangey/lemony scent, it’s just very crisp and bright, which compliments the wild blueberry. The sparkling prosecco isn’t boozy, it adds a perfect amount of fizziness to the scent! You get a bubbly, blueberry drink overall

When I want to add blueberry brightness to my day I go to burn her, I personally love blueberry scents and this is a good one- perhaps my favorite variant of the “Bellinis”! Perfect for the summer/ warmer months too as this is a chilled, sparkling beverage fragrance

Throw is ideal for a small-medium sized room when burning. Great quality as well, there’s no burnt wick/wax smell!

If you’re looking for a blueberry candle that isn’t a gourmand you’d like her! She’s fresh& juicy and so fun for burning during this hotter weather🫐🥂

Sunset In Maui

One of the luminary candles in my collection:) a soft, fruity, tropical candle that is island inspired

Notes
•Sun-kissed papaya
•hibiscus flowers
•ripe pineapple

The ripe pineapple fragrance note comes through the strongest while burning, you get tropic sweetness. What rounds out the pineapple is the sun kissed papaya- it gives a creamy, smooth scent that mellows the pineapple. Hibiscus flowers add a light floral to the background of this candle, making this be more than just a fruity candle and really does a good job of taking you somewhere tropical

I do experience a slight waxy/ burnt smell while burning so I’d recommend putting her in a candle warmer so you can get better performance. Throw is great for a small-medium sized room

If you’re looking for softer, warm tropical scents that feel like a vacation you’d probably enjoy her!🌅

Hibiscus Waterfalls

I actually like this candle way more than I thought I would! This is a fresh, airy, clean candle

Notes
•tropical hibiscus
•sweet peach nectar
•fresh waterfall mist

The fragrance notes in here kind of stump me because I was thinking this would be another tropical& summery candle but that is not the case here! She’s way more cleaner than I thought

Fresh waterfall mist is the strongest note, really pushing this to a clean, watery, fresh air candle. It reminds me of the cool air by a waterfall. It also smells slightly like clean linens. Sweet peach nectar is in the very very backend of the smell. I’d even call it a supportive note, like a trace of light peach nectar rather than a juicy ripe peach. It adds a depth to the candle without being identifiable& really compliments this candle well. Tropical hibiscus adds a delicate, slightly rainforest/tropical vibe, but it’s not overly floral

I had this in my summer collection but I’ve actually moved this to my home collection since this is something I’d want to smell year round

The throw is where I was a little disappointed. In a small room, this fills no problem. Anything bigger- you kind of lose her if you’re not close to her. However with that said, these notes are softer usually. Good thing is that there’s no burnt wick or wax smell!

Overall, this candle helps you create a clean, relaxing environment. If you’re looking for refreshing candles you’d enjoy her!🌊🌺

Pink Kiwi Berry

A sweet, pink berry candle that’s so fun to burn during warmer months! Such a sweet, soft “pink” scent that feels bright & feminine!

Notes
•sweet kiwi
•candied citrus
•sunny orchids

This candle really embodies the color “pink”! The notes blend well, with sweet kiwi adding a fresh sweetness. The candied citrus isn’t a sharp citrus, it gives a bright candy smell instead. The sunny orchids is mostly what ties these notes together, adding an almost soft, smooth floral that prevents the candle from being overly fruity

If you’re looking for a pure berry or kiwi candle you would be disappointed because this is more of a sweet “pink” candle. She leans towards a very slight floral with very light berry-ish scent in the back

Throw is great! She fills the room, and doesn’t smell like burnt wick or wax. I’m a little more than halfway through the candle& so far so good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ quality!

Overall this is a pink berry, soft& sweet candle. Very girly and cute💗

Coconut Piña Colada

I love burning this one during the breezier summer days, it really takes me to a beach-y paradise!

Notes
•coconut milk
•blended pineapple
•splash of rum

The coconut milk fragrance note is the strongest; you get a creamy, milky, slightly sweet coconut scent& it creates a comforting feeling. The blended pineapple really compliments this, coming across as juicy and fruity sweet. It’s not a sharp, tart pineapple smell but it really does smell like it’s been blended with the creamy coconut milk, giving you a juicy tropical freshness. The splash of rum isn’t something easily noticeable while burning. This candle doesn’t smell like alcohol or even slightly boozy, but it could be adding more depth in the back to really give you that actual piña colada drink

She has a great throw, filling the room with a sweetness without being overwhelming

Overall this is a creamy, sweet tropical, candle that feels so relaxing & really transports you right onto the beach, lounging on a chair with the breeze in your hair and sun on your skin🌴🥥🍍

Pineapple Mango

A sweet, fruity, and bright tropical scent! Perfect for the summer

While burning, the fresh pineapple juice & mango fragrance notes mix very well together. It smells like a pineapple-mango nectar instead of freshly cut fruits, it’s bright and juicy. The ripened raspberry note doesn’t come through for me, but could be adding an overall sweetness to this candle. You don’t get any berry scents though, this is primarily a mango/pineapple candle. She’s tropically, sweet and juicy

I also want to mention, I have let this burn for about 2 hours and have noticed a waxy/smokey smell. Could be from the wicks. (For context, I trim my wicks and always have an even pool of wax while burning) it perhaps would be better off in a candle warmer?

Throw is good, she fills the room effortlessly with a tropical smell! I also love the colored yellow wax!

If you’re looking for a sweet tropical candle, or one that smells like an island drink you’d probably enjoy her🍍🥭

|update: I have warmed in the candle warmer and the burnt wax/wick smell is gone. However it is a very light throw, and is better for a smaller room when being warmed|

AIO for saying my mom’s comments are inappropriate?

So my mom is hosting a birthday party for my grandfathers birthday and she has a pool. She’s inviting all of the close family and told me that she’s telling everybody to bring their bathing suits& a towel but advised me not to wear a bikini.

For context I am in my late 20s, and have a DD cup size& I’m curvy. I like wearing bikinis because of the tanning aspect, but I don’t mind wearing one pieces either! They’re cute. I also don’t wear super tiny bikinis & especially around my family (obv) the tops always are fully covering me..

I told her that it’s a little weird how I couldn’t wear a bikini around my family (uncles, aunts, cousins etc) if I wanted to. She told me my boobs are out and it never looks like they fit me. I told her, I have big boobs, there’s no way around it. No matter what I wear, they’re going to be there. I did offer to wear a one piece then if it made her feel better and she then said “make sure it’s covering your body”.. If I can’t wear a bathing suit around my family then there’s obviously something wrong w those family members and I no longer want to attend..

She then started to say I could just not go in the pool, she wants me to come. She then started to guilt trip me by saying my grandfather won’t have many birthdays left. Which yes, I agree spending time with family is important but I don’t want to be around somebody who’s making me uncomfortable about something that doesn’t change overnight. Anyway, AIO? Just wondering because maybe I’m a little too progressive and want to make sure I wasn’t out of line for doing what I basically feel like was standing up for myself

Mango Papaya Paradise

I really love the packaging of this candle, it’s so tropical and summery!

Notes:
•succulent mango
•golden papaya
•warm tropical breeze

Despite the name, this is not a juicy, sugary tropical candle. This is more of an airy fruit scent, softened by the warm tropical breeze note. The strongest fragrance note is the succulent mango. It’s a noticeably mango scented candle, but it’s a lighter not super ripe/syrupy mango. The golden papaya note blends well with the succulent mango, instead of standing out on its own. It mellows the tropical sweetness& gives off a smoothness. The warm tropical breeze note is exactly what prevents this from being an overly fruity& sweet candle. This gives a warm, almost clean scent. It makes the overall candle smell light and airy. The best way to describe this candle is like a tropical fruit bowl, carried on a gentle breeze

Throw is light. Rather than filling the room, it stays in the background that you smell in passing. You catch wafts of the fragrance, it doesn’t dominate your space

If you like lightly fruity scents that lean towards the summer time, you’d love her! This is a soft take on tropical fruits🥭

Vacation Villa

If you’re looking for a warm, woody, clean summer candle, you’d enjoy this!🌴🧺

With fragrance notes of rich sandal wood, crisp linen, and sea-breeze

•rich sandalwood is the strongest note. This adds a smooth, creamy and slightly sweet, woodiness. A cozy & refined base
•crisp linen note adds an airy cleanliness, not like laundry detergent, but rather fresh linens air dried in the summer heat. This note adds some brightness to the rich sandalwood, keeping it from being too heavy
•sea-breeze note is what categorized this as a summer candle. This note does not add anything aquatic but brings a breezy warmth, like as if you’re staying in a coastal retreat. It’s very summery on the backend

Overall, this is not your typical beach-y/ tropical summer candle. This is a candle that takes you to an upscale villa with clean sheets& wood furnishings. Doors& windows open letting the breeze in while you can soak in the views

She has a good medium room throw. She fills the space without being nauseating. Very relaxing and warm. The packaging also is very fitting for this fragrance

Morning Rainstorm

Since it’s a grey, rainy day today I thought it’s a perfect time to bring her out

With notes of dewy raindrops, citrus rays of sunshine, and fluffy clouds

The dewy raindrop note comes through the most, keeping it smelling fresh without it being like laundry/soap. This note evokes more of a refreshing rain coming down, keeping it clean &very slightly aquatic. The citrus rays of sunshine note is interesting- since this does not smell like anything orange/lemon related. This note really elevates the raindrop note, smelling more uplifting and lighter. The fluffy clouds note brings us back into more of a “home” scent. It’s soft, airy and calming. Very clean& renewed smelling

Throw is good, this is not an overpowering candle but it has a very pleasant presence. She creates a consistently fresh atmosphere in your space

This candle also reminds me a lot of Eucalyptus Rain, but a softer airier version and less herbal.

Overall this is a lovely clean candle for your collection! Really gives you the vibe of your home being aired out after a cool rain. She’s relaxing& fresh& I also love the packaging!!🌧️
