Although I love beauty products, I also enjoy all things beautiful and will be posting on lifestyle, travel, home and beauty. I'm getting older and my taste is changing accordingly!
I do hope that each and everyone of you has had the chance the celebrate some amazing holidays with friends and loved ones. It's my favourite time of the year, though it does feel strange living in Australia and celebrating the holidays in warm weather. I'm rather used to the cold and cozy Canadian holidays. It feels strange eating turkey in 30 degree heat!
This year, we decided to host Christmas at our place and I have a new found appreciation for all of the work that goes into preparations for Christmas time. The cooking, the shopping, tidying up - the list goes on! It was great to host it for our first time, but let's just say I'm not in a rush to put my hand up again to host it next year. Here is a photo of the table set up on the day.
This year, I was fortunate enough to receive a Neom Sensuous Candle as a KK Christmas present, which I am in love with! While these haven't fully grown in popularity in Australia (probably because of the steep price), they are simply delightful. At AUD$89 per candle, I was slightly reluctant to take the plunge, but was very glad to receive it a present! I am eyeing the 'Happiness' and 'Real Luxury' candle, and will most likely purchase one of these in the coming months.
I understand that they are really popular in the UK given it's where they are made, but for those of you who haven't experienced these before, they are very clean and pure fragrances made from high quality/high percentage of essential oils. I recommend popping into a shop before buying one to smell them for yourself. The smell is very strong - not overpowering - but strong enough to cover the entire ground floor of my home. It's the kind of candle you want to burn on a Sunday afternoon whilst drinking a glass of wine and reading a magazine or book. Smells amazing!
Sensuous contains Ylang Ylang, Patchouli and Frankincense and after lighting this candle, I feel like I've been at a spa. It's relaxing and invigorating.
At $89 per candle, it's not exactly cheap, however if you only burn these on special occasions the candles will last you a long time. You can also leave it beside your bed and even though it isn't lit, you will still enjoy the smell.
Has anyone tried the harmonious smell? My local shop doesn't carry it and I'm curious to see what it's like.
Well that's it from me for now, but I wish you all a fabulous New Year!!
Speak soon Xx
