Bath and Body Works Haul

B&BW Haul by swtcarolinagrl on Polyvore.comA couple months ago I got a coupon from Bath and Body Works where I could get up to 5 of their 3-wick candles for $10 each. I held onto the coupon until the very last day! FYI they have another one of these coupons on their smaller candles at the store that will be good until April I believe.


What I picked up:

Frosted Cupcake: A decadant combination of rich buttercream frosting, sugar and fresh vanilla bean, finished with the essence of cake batter.

Peach Bellini: A light, delicate blend of white peach, sweet orange peel and yellow mandarin, finished with jasmin and sweet black currant.

Kitchen Spice: An inviting aroma that blend hazelnut, marzipan, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla notes.

Stress Relief Vanilla Verbena: Relax, unwind, and infuse your home with the scent of Vanilla Verbena. Vanilla Absolute has a soothing effect on body and mind.

Carried Away body lotion: key fragrance notes are lush raspberries, white jasmine, and whipped vanilla

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

1. Slatkin & Co. Candles

These candles are my new obsession!!! I'm pretty much burned my Frosted Cupcake one to the bottom since I've been lighting it almost every night. All their candles smell amazing and easily fill up a big room (or entire apartment) and burn really clean (no canyons in your candle). I just went to Bath and Body Works and restocked on my favorite scents.

2. My Keurig

Here we are 2 weeks into class, and my sleep schedule is still outta wack! I find myself staying up to 2 or 3 in the morning when I know I have to get up early that morning! So my Keurig coffee maker has been a miracle worker!

3. Pilot G2 Pens

My mom bought me this 20 pack of G2 pens for Christmas and they are getting put to good use now that classes are officially underway! These are my absolute favorite pens in the entire world and will not take notes with anything else. I used to be a big hi-lighter but with all the fun colors in this kit, taking notes isn't too terribly horrible!

What are you loving today?

My *mini* Summer Oasis

I bought two of these Bath and Body Works candles when they had them on sale 2 for $20. I absolutely LOVE the smell. The Island Margarita scent is just so clean and fresh smelling. Now its not exactly like a margarita, but its pretty similar. I've had one of the candles sitting on my kitchen bar and for the longest time wanted to burn it but I quickly came to realize I didn't have a lighter! So on one of the MANY trips to Target, I picked up and lighter and got to burn my candle for the first time...and it is AMAZING! It is triple wicked so it doesn't take long for the top layer to become liquid (they say that candles have a memory and the first time you burn them you want to make sure you burn the first layer clean. **does this make sense???**) ANYWAYS...since it is triple wicked it only took about an hour for the top layer to burn, which is perfect for me since I lit it later at night and didn't wanna stay up for hours waiting for the layer to burn.

So long story short...I love this candle, will probably be repurchasing another 1 or 2 before they retire this scent for the summer **sadness!** and highly recommend these candles. They give me just a little bit of a summer oasis!! Now all I need is a real margarita and I'll be all set!!!
