Fragrance Friday – Sticky Cinnamon Bun

I’m not a fan of cinnamon, except in cakes and coffee so I’ve had this bar of Sticky Cinnamon Bun for ages and kept putting off warming it.  This week I gave in to the guilt trip every time I looked at it and decided to open it, not least because I have so many bars I want to use and enjoy before getting to my new ones!

I was very pleasantly surprised.  Yes it is cinnamony but not that hit you between the eyes kind of strong, overwhelming cinnamon.  You can smell vanilla and the pastry underneath.  It’s really very nice and gave me a hankering for a cinnamon bun; specifically the ones available in the past from London’s Southbank Christmas Market.  I’ve yet to satisfy this craving, so will just have to make do with the calorie free alternative warming in my living room for now!

Warmer Wednesday – Flower Vine

 

This gorgeous warmer is from the deluxe range and is one of my favourites.  It is truly stunning when lit and is one of the brightest of the warmers. The warm white finish will fit in beautifully with any room decor.

I have my flower vine in the sitting room.  Where would you put yours?

At only £33, how could you resist?

Seasonal Scents

For me, the best thing about Scentsy is the variety of fragrances and the ability to swap them as often as you fancy!

With the evenings drawing in and Christmas approaching it’s the cinnamon and spice smells which are the most popular at the minute.  I don’t usually like that category of scent as I tend to find them very overpowering but even I’ve managed to find a few seasonal smells I love from the current collection.

My hotlist includes:

Boho – a bohemian fragrance of clove-studded winter apples, entwined with juicy black plums, candied mulberries and cinnamon sticks.  Gently spiced.

Autumn Sunset – apples, pumpkins, autumn leaves and spices.  Cozy but crisp.

Honey Pear Cider – fresh, juicy pear and sweet honey together with subtle hints of spices.  Sweet and warming.

And for something completely different (and not just cos I love the name!) – Eskimo Kiss – blackberry jam, carmelised brown sugar, vanilla and amber in a softly romantic scent.  Subtle but stunning.

Winter

I love winter… I love the fresh frosty mornings and getting wrapped up warm so you’ve cold and rosy cheeks and the rest of you is toasty warm. I love the dark evenings perfect for stews and casseroles and comfort food. I love coming into the warm house from the cold outdoors. I love hot baths and fluffy pyjamas (I think my other half despairs!). I especially love curling up on the sofa with a book and a mug of tea while the rain in battering the windows.

What about winter makes you happy?

Christmas is coming!

Scentsy makes a perfect gift – it’s pretty, practical and unusual and beats socks any day!
The Silhouette Collection is fantastic because once you’ve purchased the warmer (£44 including a wrap of your choice), you can get as many wraps and you like (£13.25 each) and swap between them to completely change the look of your warmer.

There are new wraps launched with each new catalogue and also seasonal specials…

Then all you have to do is choose your scents!
