My Candle Collection

Hello everyone! So, you may not know this about me, but I have a huge obsession with candles. I have bought a lot of candles throughout this year and I just wanted to show them to you. If you find candles at all exciting here they are.

First of all, I keep all the candles that I am not using for the season in this box. I got this box for Christmas (obviously lol) last year, I think, and it had a lot of goodies in it before I emptied it out. Honestly, I think I need a bigger box because I buy so many candles on a regular basis now.

Every time I go to the store during the holidays or season changes, they will have huge boxes in the aisles with seasonal, mini candles, and without fail I buy at least two lol. The scents from left to right are sweet pea, cranberry pear, hazelnut cream, apple pumpkin, cinnamon pecan swirl, creamy vanilla swirl, and fresh melon slice.

The bigger candles that I have are key lime pie, soothing vanilla, and mandarin vanilla. I haven’t used the mandarin vanilla one yet because I’m waiting for spring time, but the other two candles I absolutely love.

The two candles that I have been using the most this month were the soothing vanilla and apple pumpkin. They are more fall-like and they just smell great. I especially love the vanilla one because it’s one of my favorite scents.

My last for candles are pretty random. From left to right the scents are cinnamon roll, rose (it looked like a rose too before I used it lol), coconut macaroon, and… I actually don’t know what the last one’s scent is lol.

My favorite candle has to be the cinnamon roll one which I got from crackle barrel for around $10. As you can see I have never actually lit it because I don’t want it to lose its look, but I can smell it really well throughout my room without even lighting it.

The candle that I don’t know the scent for is from Hobby Lobby and I also picked up a decorative bird cage candle holder to put it in. I mainly use this candle for looks and I have it set on my bedside table. The one time I did decide to light it I got candle wax all over my table lol; I’ll never do that again.

I hope you guys enjoyed my candle collection! The majority of them are from stores like Walmart or Kroger, so you can easily find them if you want to give them a try. I have a simple nail look for Sunday’s blog post, but until then BYYEEE.

Ombre, Lily Manicure

Hey guys! I know it's been a while, but I have had ZERO clue of what designs to do and I've been doing solid colors all summer. However, last night I decided to practice making my own nail stickers and they turned out super well. I went with two types of lilies, white lilies and purple/white lilies, and decided to put them on a two-toned ombre. For the "stickers" I started with a piece of parchment paper and a clear polish. With the polish I painted 10 rectangles which I would be painting my designs over. I ended up trimming my stickers down to size later so don't worry if the base is a bit too big. After about a minute I began painting my designs over top of the rectangles making sure they weren't too big for my nail beds. I looked at a picture of a lily for reference and then just went for it. I started with the white petals, added the center color, added thin green lines with a nail art brush for stems in the center and finally the brown dots on the ste...

Miracle Gel "Game of Chromes" Review

Hello everyone! I recently purchased another nail polish from Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel collection called “Game of Chromes” (#510) and I thought I’d write a review for it today. Frist of all, the name is genius. Secondly, lol, the color is gorgeous. It is really shiny and when you move your fingers under the light it kind of looks like it switches between silver and gold, like a hologram or something. It is just a really nice color if you are looking for a solid nail design that isn't super boring. I also really liked the formula of the polish. It went on very smoothly (just like the others from the line did) and it was opaque with one coat. When I used the top coat (which you have to buy separately unless you get a kit and it’s expensive but whatever), it lasted a long time with no chips. It still isn’t chipped and I could keep it on, but I redo my nails every week lol. That is all for today, but you can check out my most recent YouTube video here, or look through...
