My Favorite Candles

About a week ago on twitter I asked if anyone would be interested in a candle collaboration post and three lovely bloggers responded. We decided that the collaboration would be more interesting if all four of us did this together. It is always nice to meet new bloggers and share different or similar interests we have. So I was excited to do this collab post! These bloggers are unique and have their own style of blogging which is nice! So be sure to check out their blog and collab post here: Cece, Rachael Claire, and Charlotte.

Since it's fall, and winter will be here soon, candles are a must. At least for me it is, I love candles! As soon as I light the candles, I can smell the scent immediately. Sometimes I have more than one lit. I choose specific candles to light depending on the mood I'm in. Does anyone else feel that way too? Candles are calming and relaxing. The time I light candles the most is around 7pm or 8 pm. On the candle it says it is only supposed to stay on for about 2-3 hours. So that is perfect because on most nights I go to bed around 10:30 pm. I think that candles help me sleep I night. I think after I blow the candles out the aroma is still there, so it helps me through the night. Usually I get up in the middle of the night.

For this post I am going to talk about my favorite candles that I have been using at the moment. I do have others, but I have not used them yet. When it comes to candles I do not think about the brand. Is that weird? But these candles are from luminessence and the other from Sonoma. The three smaller candles were a $1 and the bigger candle was on sale for $4.99, but the regular price is $9.99. Even though some are a dollar, they are still great quality. So it does not matter whether one is a higher price. They still work the same!



Vanilla 
• This is one of my favorite scents. I think of vanilla ice cream when I smell this candle. Actually anything vanilla flavored! As you can see, I've been using this candle quite often. You can't go wrong with this scented candle. It's one of the basic scented candle but the smell is amazing!

Apple Cinnamon
• When I smell this scent, I think of thanksgiving and all the foods and desserts that use cinnamon. Like apple pie, candy yams, cinnamon rolls, and pecan twirls. I don't eat pecan twirls often, but that's what I think of when I smell this candle! This candle smells so good, it unbelievable!

Black Cherry
• This scent is very strong, but it has become one of my favorites. I think of cherry pie when I light this candle. So if your favorite pie is cherry you should definitely get this candle.

Pumpkin Latte
• I have never had a pumpkin latte before. Actually I never had any latte before. I have no idea what it tastes or smells like, but if it's like this candle it must be really good. On the bottom of the candle it says " This delectable, fall drink blends a touch of bright, juicy fruits into a creamy latte of white pumpkin and steamed milk. Maple sugar and vanilla bean add a hint of sweetness." I think I might try a latte! 



I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I enjoyed writing it! Don't forget to check out these lovely bloggers!

Helpful Posts/Sites For Bloggers

Being a blogger is not easy at all, whether it's a hobby or a job. Every blogger works so hard to put out quality work. But sometimes it can be a struggle. While in a blogging rut I came across a lot of posts that have helped me gain confidence. These posts also helped me realize my creativity; all I needed to do was use my noggin! But before you click on the links below, I'm going to explain what these links mean to me. I don't want to bore you but I'm hoping these will help you too.   Everytime I get into a blogging rut I always look at my blog design. Thinking that the design I have is always the problem, I go and I spend money to change it. In reality the major problem was myself. Now don't get me wrong, designs I've had were beautiful it just wasn't for me. During my long "break" or breakdown I did a lot of searching. I'm pretty sure you all heard of Etsy, am I right? This is where I found two shops that have helped me tremendous...

Is there a guide to blogging?

It's been 3 months since I started blogging and I already have 57 followers and I am so grateful and thankful. In a million years I would have never imagined being a blogger. But sometimes I do not feel like one. I mean I know being a successful and known blogger doesn't happen overnight, but sometimes I get discouraged. I have always been someone who is cautious and worries about what people think, so sometimes I feel no one will like what I post. I also feel like, because I am not a well known blogger no one will take the time and give me a chance. I am just being myself, is there something wrong with that? So I started feeling lost and I didn't know what to do; then I thought "Is there a guide to blogging?". Not only did I have these thoughts, but I was also thinking that there are so many wonderful bloggers (beauty, fashion, and lifestyle), so who would even notice my blog. So is there a book to teach people how to blog or am I just overreacting? Sometim...

Color Theory:8 Piece Ultimate Eyeliner Set

I love Eyeliner; eyeliner is my go to look. Anytime I had eyeliner my eyes would look like their dressed up! The only eyeliner I have ever wore up until this point was black; because that was the only color I thought was out (crazy of me right?!) Anyway lately I've seen many girls wear different color eyeliner, mainly on YouTube; so I knew immediately I would have to try it. After a while I forgot all about them, until Christmas of 2012 when I received them. I was so excited because my Mom didn't even know I wanted them; now that I am thinking I didn't even ask!  Now I can match up the colors with eyeshadow. Enough of that here's the box they came in and I have the colors listed below. On the back it just talks about the different styles you can do with the eyeliners. For example: The famous winged look (instructions for it are on the back).                                ...
