Pieces Of Ashley

  I love candles and I can't begin to tell you, how obsessed I am with them. Honestly, lighting candles aren't just for fall and winter. But it's obviously more appropriate for these seasons. After lighting my candles, I like getting cozy under the covers watching Netflix. If I am really in a good mood, I will drink some hot chocolate! Over the past couple of years, I started buying and collecting candles. I love buying seasonal candles, so I am going to share my favorites with you. These candles are very affordable, except a few were on sale.   MAINSTAYS Candles Mulled Cider - I've never had mulled cider before. But if it smells just as good as the candle, I am definitely going to try it. The combination of the apple and cinnamon are amazing! You will love the aroma in your house or any room, you light this candle.   Harvest Leaves - This is a very strong scent, but it's not so bad when you light it. In my opinion, the harvest leaves candle smells li...

During the Summer the weather gets very hot. Believe it or not, but the weather affects the inside of your house. For this lifestyle post, I was inspired by luxury bedding company, Parachute  to share with you, how I lighten up the atmosphere in my house for the Summer. Changing the Curtains What better way to get ready the Summer, than to change up your curtains. For me I like dark curtains; but I live with my mom and sister, so we all have to agree. But those dark curtains do get annoying during the Summer days, because they block the sunlight. In order to bring in sunlight and keep the house looking new and fresh, go for light/ neutral colors. Even prints lighten up the atmosphere inside! Fan or Air Conditioner During the hot Summer days, the weather doesn't just affect the outside, it also has an influence on the atmosphere inside the house. With these warmer months the house gets so stuffy and muggy. I do not like feeling this way, because I feel hot and sti...

Apples and Berries are some of my favorite fruits, so to have them all in one candle is refreshing! It smells really good and the candle captures each scent of the fruits. This candle reminds me of dessert dishes: apples and berries crisp, apples and berries pies. These fruits can be used as a topping for pancakes and waffles! You can't eat the candle, but you can definitely make these recipes. When the candle is lit, it smells even better. The whole room is scented and it is just delicious. I usually light my candles at nighttime because, it's cold at night and you snuggle under the covers with some hot chocolate. You can find this candle at Walmart. This is small, so it's about $2.00.                                                  ...

I am obsessed with candles, which is why I decided to do a candle of the week series post! So for this week it's Garden Rain. This candle smells so good. It almost smells like fabric softener, which isn't a bad thing! It feels like you're in a tropical rain forest. This candle is from Main Stays. For me the brand of the candle does not matter to me. But this candle was only $2, which is a great price. Because most of my candles are from Walmart, the brand is Main Stays. There are other brands if you like variety! I hope you enjoyed this post! Any candles you like at the moment?

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 sup...
