Yankee Candle Tart Sale Haul

I was actually able to get to a Yankee Candle store for their sale this time around.  Not like I NEED anymore, but I had a coupon, so how could I resist? :)  Please excuse how gross my carpet looks in this picture, I have horrible lighting in this room so it looks really dirty, but I promise it isn't. :)  Here are the descriptions of the tarts that I picked up:


Pineapple Cilantro-Give yourself up to the refreshing surprise of this tropical treat.  Fresh island pineapple served with a citrus touch of cilantro and sweet coconut is a bit like sipping a tropical drink al fresco.  The experience encourages you to escape the mundane if ever so briefly-and enjoy the soothing sensation of sitting on a tropical beach.  Even the pineapple fragrance's unexpected soft leaf green color plays into the desire to escape the ordinary.
Golden Sands-Your private beach awaits, where time pauses in soft breezes of soothing sandalwood, luminous orange flower and warm tonka beans.
Farmer's Market-Autumn's freshest bounty..sweet berries, juicy apples, succulent peaches, and warm spices.
Turquoise Sky-Calm, salty air with hints of sea grass and musk, float gently on ocean waves..off on an adventure beneath a bright blue sky.
Autumn Wreath-Welcome the season cheerfully with the spicy warmth of autumn leaves and cinnamon apples.  Just as wreaths hung on the front door signals the change in season, the subtle notes of apple and cinnamon spices tell everyone who visits your home that they are as welcome as the new season.
Mango Peach Salsa-Sweet and zesty..juicy mangoes and peached livened with citrus, ginger flowers, and pink pepper.
Pumpkin Wreath-The wreath on the front door signals the change of seasons and welcomes family, friends, and visitors.  The irresistible aroma of fall pumpkins, infused with earthy oakwood, hearty cinnamon bark, and clove, warmly welcomes the season, too.  This nature-inspired scent contains apple, resinous spice, and wood notes that play beautifully off the true-to-life pumpkin fragrance.
Cranberry Chutney-A traditional fall favorite, in an inviting deep red "cranberry" color that warms every decor, this fragrance delivers sweetness, not the expected tartness of the berry.  Orange zest, rosemary, raisins, and a touch of golden honey, blended with fresh cranberries, create a concoction, as memorable and inviting as those chutnies Grandma lovingly brought to boil in autumns past.
Macintosh-So vividly real you can almost taste the unmistakable crunch.
Lake Sunset-The serene beauty of the sun's golden rays as they dip into still blue waters and cast a soft pink tone against the sky is a subtle reminder that we need to slow down and appreciate life's quiet moments.  Sweetly musky and moody, calling to mind the descent of nightfall, this fragrance will help you pause and reflect on those special slices of the day.
Meyer Lemon-A bright and sunny citrus..perfectly ripe, with a naturally sweet and refreshing scent.
Hazelnut Coffee-A full-bodied blend of java suffused with macadamia nut, vanilla, and cocoa bean.
November Rain-A rainy fall days stirs up many emotions, as does this intoxicating, masculine, and moody fragrance with deep watery notes.  In it, you'll discover the quiet interlude of the season reflected in an airy, refreshing mix of watery leaf notes, warm amber and crisp, brisk air.  All perfectly suited for cozying up inside and watching the rain from your window.
Treehouse Memories-Warm, earthy woods wrapped in sweet, familiar spices evoke memories of crisp autumn days spent amongst the changing leaves.
Early Sunrise-A new day dawns crisp and fresh in this clean lemony citrus scent with hints of ginger and tea.
Over The River-A cool and calm stroll by the river..watery green notes with hints of sage, amber, and oak.
Summer Scoop-Delicious memories of creamy, homemade strawberry ice cream on a hot summer day.
Cozy Sweater-There's nothing quite as comfy as curling up in an oversized sweater, soft as a flower petal on a cool fall day.  This fragrance's warm touches of musk and patchouli will have you kicking back and relaxing in no time at all.  You'll find a nice floralcy to the scent, accompanied by a warm base..almost amber-like.
Blueberry Scone-The delicious aroma of English quickbread with sweet blueberries, rich cream, and a hint of vanilla.
Mountain Lodge-A luxurious retreat in front of a cozy hearth, warm with the aroma of cedarwood and sage.
Sun & Sand-A tropical beach breeze of sweet orange flower, lemony citrus, fresh lavender, and powdery musk.
Apple Pumpkin-Cultivated with care..home-grown apples and pumpkins blended with ginger and clove.
Pomegranate Cider-A fall treat..tart pomegranate juice with sweet vanilla and spicy notes of cinnamon and cloves.
Pumpkin Pie-Sweet pumpkin, nutmeg, molasses, cinnamon, and a hint of apple in a buttery crust.
Pumpkin Buttercream-Buttercream gets a spicy twist..a traditional recipe of pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, and clove.

Fall Bath & Body Works Haul #3

I finally got to Bath & Body Works earlier this week to pick up the rest of my fall stuff.  I live about an hour and a half from the closest one so I don't get there as much as I would like to.  Nonetheless, I got what I wanted so I'm happy.


Wallflowers
I was debating between getting the leaf plug-in or the pumpkin one, I eventually went with the leaf because the color pulled me in and I already bought a pumpkin last year.  Here are descriptions of the bulbs that I got:
Pumpkin Apple-Experience the blend of your two favorite fall scents-apple and pumpkin-enhanced by notes of cinnamon and clove.
Cider Lane-As sweet as the trip to the local apple orchard each year, a delicious fall blend of mulled cider, warm caramel, and sweet cinnamon.
Autumn-A crisp fall fragrance that blends dark pomegranate and red delicious apple with notes of fir balsam and rich cedarwood.
Flannel-Wrap yourself in a warm blend of bergamot, mahogany, and a delicate veil of musk. (This one smells like Vicks to me, might be good when you have a cold, who knows!!)
Leaves-Like an afternoon spent playing in a pile of freshly fallen leaves, this fragrance embodies all the richness of the season and features a medley of ripe delicious apples, red berries, and golden nectar.
Pumpkin Cupcake-Satisfy your sweet tooth with the scent of a freshly baked pumpkin cupcake covered in loads of rich buttercream frosting.

Pocket Bacs
I was looking for a fall-ish holder, but didn't see any that I liked.  So I settled for the zebra, anyone that knows me knows that I am obsessed with zebra print.  Here are descriptions of the ones that I got:
Heirloom Pear-Lightly scented with heirloom Anjou pears plucked fresh from the tree.
Pumpkin Cupcake-A sugary blend of warm pumpkin and enticing gingerbread sprinkled with freshly ground cinnamon.
Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin-A scrumptious blend of pumpkin, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
EEK! Yummy Mummy Marshmallow-Lightly scented with a yummy indulgence of fluffed marshmallows and sweet vanilla cream.
Hoot Berry-Lightly scented with blackberries and cherries.

Yankee Candle Tart-Meadow Showers

Description From The Website:
Daydreaming of a quiet escape..the naturally tranquil and airy scent of fresh raindrops on blades of green grass.

It's a hot one here in Minnesota.  Some of the schools around here have let out early because of the extreme heat.  Thankfully I have the day off so I am staying inside in the air conditioning!!  I'm cleaning the house today so I like to have clean scents melting.  This one reminds me of fabric softener, it makes the whole house smell fresh and clean!!

Scentsy Bar-BananaBerry

I have SOO many Scentsy bars so I decided to start melting them again.  I even have a bunch I've never melted!!  This is one of them.  I usually don't like banana scents at all, so I was a little nervous to order this one.  This is one of the few that I like.  It's not that gross artificial banana scent.  It's really sweet and creamy.

From the Website:
Lusciously sweet banana cream layered with succulent strawberries.

Bath & Body Works Fall Candle Haul

It has happened.  I always go a little crazy with BBW candles, especially the fall ones.  They are always so good and this year is no exception.  I didn't get all the ones I wanted because I ordered these a few weeks ago and not all of them were online yet.  There's still a couple that I want to get yet, but I think I will wait until I order all my wallflowers and stuff.



These first 5 are some of the pumpkin scents that came out this year.  I love anything pumpkin so I was obviously very excited about this.

Descriptions from the website:

Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin-Celebrate pumpkin season with this inviting mixture of harvest pumpkin, sweet vanilla cream, and fall's rich spices.
Pumpkin Apple-Expeience the blend of your two favorite fall scents-apples and pumpkin-enhanced by notes of cinnamon and clove.


These last 5 are part of another collection that came out.  A lot of these came out last year as well and I loved them, so I bought them again!!

Descriptions from the website:
Leaves-Celebrate the brilliant colors of autumn with this rich blend of golden nectar, red apple, and spiced berries.
Autumn-A crisp fall fragrance that blends dark pomegranate and red delicious apple with notes of fir balsam and rich cedarwood.
Cider Lane-As sweet as the trip to the local apple orchard each year, a delicious fall blend of mulled cider, warm caramel, and sweet cinnamon.
Sweater Weather-Cuddle up with an aromatic blend of eucalyptus, juniper berry, and fresh sage that celebrates the arrival of sweater weather.

Like I said, I will most likely be getting a few more along with some wallflowers and things so stay tuned!!  Thanks for reading!!

Niki's Wax Scent Shot-Strawberry Serendipity

This one smells like strawberry yogurt to me.  It's on the light side, but it has just enough scent.

I hope this post finds you all well.  It's been a little crazy around here.  Tonight I am off to ride some horses with a couple of my friends so I am excited for that.  This weekend is another rodeo weekend.  We have another one next week and then we're done until September.  It will be a much needed break!!

Rose Girls-Sugar Lemon Fizz

Another 11 hour shift as a waitress in the books.  I'm so glad I'll be done there in a few weeks!!  I came home and decided I was in the mood for lemon for some reason.  I'm hoping to place my first order with Rose Girls at the end of this week so I figured I should try some of their stuff out.  I got this one in a test lot a few weeks ago, so far I'm impressed!!  It's a nice, sweet lemon.  It's barely melted and it's already filling the whole room with fragrance.  I can't wait to order from them!!

Granny's Kountry Candles Simmering Melts-Tickled Pink

This is kind of a fruity scent.  It's a mix between fruity and clean.  It's one of my favorites from Granny's!!

Here it is August already, I can't even believe it.  I wish we could rewind summer because I feel like I missed the whole thing!!  I'm gonna try to get my stuff organized when I get home from work tonight so I can hopefully get some hauls up tomorrow.
