As alot of you will probably know by now I am definitely a major fan of all things Yankee candle. So when I recieved a Yankee Candle Simply Home gift set for my birthday you can probably imagine just how excited I was! So I thought I would do a little haul of the different candles in the set and also combine this with a few other different scents to show you my current winter candle collection.
The set came beautifully packaged with 12 different sampler candles:
Christmas Baking
Christmas Morning (can you imagine how amazing it would have been to burn this on Christmas morning! sadly I didn't have time due to work commitments but still!)
Candy Cane Forest
Holiday Magic
Fall Glory
Merry Berry
Savour The Season
Sunlight On Snow
Frosted Snow
As well as the 12 samplers as part of my Winter candle collection I also currently have 3 wax tarts, the tarts are used in wax burners and provide amazing scents which fill the whole room.
I have included where possible links to the scents that are currently still available!
What's your favourite Yankee Candle?

In order to celebrate the start of the New Year I thought it might be fun to do a New Years TAG! Apparently this is a thing! And I'm actually quite excited! So let's get into the questions!
When do you start getting excited about New Year?
Probably Boxing Day tbh! I feel like it's the next celebration that everybody looks forward to as soon as Christmas is over! Although I do think that most people are more excited about New Years Eve than they are about a new year starting!
What's your typical New Years Day?
We will mostly spend the day relaxing either at home or at our nan's where will will enjoy a roast dinner! As we don't have roast dinner every Sunday when we do have one it makes the occasion feel more special!
Do you make any New Years Resolutions? Do you stick to them?
When I was younger I remember we always had to make new years resolutions about what we would do that year and how we could improve on the past year. I can honestly say that I don't make resolutions any more, I found that I would never stick to them so kinda just gave up making them but I do kinda want to start making them again.
What was your favourite thing that happened in 2015?
So many amazing things happened in 2015! Sixth Form Leavers Prom was definitely one of my favourite moments! Other favourites include watching Michael McIntyre live and meeting Diversity!
What are 3 things you'd like to accomplish in the next year?
1 - I'd love to know what I want to do in life (I've said this for the past 1/2 years and still have absolutely no idea!)
2 - I want to be able to say I made the most of the time I had, I feel like I always spend too much time being unproductive and I would love to change that

CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN - 3 DAYS!!
Every year I seem to spend various amounts of money buying Christmas cards for people and always end up with far to many cards left over at the end which I can never end up finding the next year. I also find that store bought cards aren't as personal as I would like them to be. For this reason I have decided that this year I'm going to make my own cards. As I've never done this before I thought it would be a nice DIY challenge. I thought I would share with you my favourite card design and how to recreate it yourself.
Snowman
This design is probably my favourite design of the two as it is easy to make and looks like alot of effort has gone into it!
You will need:
card
Christmassy decorations (optional)
ribbon
tissue paper
glue
Directions
The first step is to choose the colour card you want to use for your card, this will act as the background for the snowmen.
The next step is to cut out two snowman shapes out of white paper or foam, I used pre-cut shapes from a Christmas decoration pack I had found.
Once you have your snowmen you will want to decorate them! This is the fun part! For this part you can either choose to colour in your snowmen or you can use any bits and bobs you have lying around the house.
I decided to use tissue paper for the hats, left over ribbon for the scarves and stickers for the buttons, eyes and nose.
I then decided to add some snowflake gems I had so it looked like snow!
The last step was to add the letters to the bottom of the card to spell out Merry Christmas! This is an optional step as you could add some snow at the bottom instead!
Here is what my finished card looked like!
Have an amazing day/night and I'll see you tomorrow for Blogmas Day 23!
