Sarah Loves... Yankee Candle

From first moving in with Spurs boy he started noticing these jars kept appearing... everywhere! It started off a bit of a joke as he kept telling me he could afford the heating bills and there was no need to rely on candles!

This weekend on our little shopping venture I probably pushed Spurs boy to the limit, first by going to Lush (He cannot stand the smell and quite openly holds his nose when he goes in there, very embarrassing!) he doesn't mind waiting outside though and of course carrying the bags :-)

Surprise Packages

I love my Secret Post Club parcels, this is now my second and again so very pleased. This month I was sent something from Elaine Scott. 

Sarah Loves...Dyna-Girl

You might know that I review products for Dyna-Girl and Louisa who founded the company was the first person I met from twitter (and I mean actually met). This month's product review was a great product, Tipsy Toes. 

Sarah Loves... Lakeland

Just put in another order with Lakeland, it's becoming another addiction. After our iRobot buy that I blogged about here and then last week we started looking through and seeing what things we needed wanted. On the website you can also read what other people thought about their purchase which can offer you more insight into whether you feel it would be best for you.

ALREADY BOUGHT Grand Remoska Electric Cooker

We've only used the oven 3 times since we bought this three weeks ago. It's cheaper to run and it makes gorgeous sponge cakes.

ALREADY BOUGHT Remote Control Tidy

We just had too many remotes and it seemed "my" place to put them was always different to where Spurs boy wanted them to go. So now we have no excuses...

ALREADY BOUGHT 'Empty Your Pockets' Organiser

Spurs boy bought this to prove he can leave his "stuff" in one place. He did challenge me to get one so I would be able to empty my bag every day! My answer "I'd need a much bigger one!" :-P

ORDERED Heated Towel Rail

We seem to run our tumble dryer loads recently and we're getting very aware of our carbon footprint in recent weeks and this seems a good way to cut down in the home.

ORDERED Mini Make-Up Caddy

I suppose this is actually my version of the 'Empty Your Pockets' Organiser as I'm hoping this will make me cut down on make-up splurges! I doubt it though, although the thought is there :-P

ORDERED Cupcake Cake Pan

I have a real sweet tooth and love cakes. This seems like the ideal purchase for me

ORDERED Lakeland Paella Pan

Spurs boy and I are big fans of paella and this is only £9.99 and they say you need to have a paella pan to make the perfect paella. Nom nom nom!

 

ALREADY BOUGHT AND RE-ORDERED Chef's Candle

We have an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge so kitchen smells can linger for some time and this is great for eliminating those smells. A definite must!

 ALREADY BOUGHT Tomato Compost Crock

Living in a second floor apartment isn't very easy to take out your kitchen scraps and this clever little pot is handy to have as we can then take them out to our bin later on. Has a carbon filter inside to neutralise odours for a couple of months. Also it's red!

Are you a fan? What was your favourite purchase?

Sarah Loves...Vanilla

I think Spurs boy is under no illusion that I love Vanilla. The flat is now full of candles, pot pourri, incense, bath products and I'm not sure he's noticed how much Vanilla ice cream I bought yesterday!

So here are my favourite Vanilla things

Lush Vanilla Fountain Bath Bomb

Lush Vanilla in the Mist Soap

Yankee Doodle Vanilla Cupcake

Body Shop Vanilla Body Lotion

M&S Soft Vanilla Scented Spheres

M&S Inclusion Vanilla Candle

 

M&S Soft Vanilla Infusion Sticks

 

Ikea Vanilla Vodka

Green & Black's Vanilla Ice Cream

I had a look around etsy for a friend's present and I came across something vanilla on there too. I love it and they sell so many items similar, perfect! Can't eat them though - althought they look good enough to eat!

 

Vanilla Slice by British Cream Tea 

I guess I could eat all the ice cream before Spurs boy finds them :-)
