Best 3 M&M's

In this blog I am going to give my personal opinion on what I think is the best 3 M&M's. Links below if you want to buy! 


1. Pretzel


These are by far my favourite M&M's the taste of sweet with the saltiness of the pretzels there's nothing really more to say really just taste absolutely heavenly. (These are pretty good on calories too!)



 







2. Peanut Butter

Peanut butter inside M&M's what more do you want? great peanut butter taste which they have definitely not scrimped on! Peanut Butter M&M's x1 bag  








3. Coconut

Unlike the other 2 these do not have a strong coconut taste but do have a nice hint of coconut these are a little bit different compared to the other M&M's as they do have a little bit more of a fresh taste as the others can be quite sweet. The packaging is so cute! M&M Coconut Chocolate Candies 42.5g x1 bag

3 Best Fruity Yankee Candles

Hello in this blog I am going to give reviews on what I think are the best 3 fruity Yankee Candles. I think Sweet Strawberries is one of the best however I have already written a review about it earlier so I will tell you all what I think the other best 3 are. I have put the links below each picture just in case you would like to buy. 




1.Country Lemonade

This smells like a drink that you could slurp down on a hot summers day, lovely fresh and juicy lemons. It is a smell that I think would suit both people who prefer sweet and citrus smells. Beautiful scent that suits all year its gorgeously crisp. Yankee Candle Housewarmer Jar (Country Lemonade) - Large (22 oz)





2. Mango Peach Salsa


This smells lushly sweet I am not normally a lover of the smell of peach but this works greatly together with the mango. This gorgeous fruity concoction works beautifully with each other which is why I have made this my number 2. Yankee Candle Large Mango and Peach Salsa Jar Candle 1114681










3. Vanilla Lime

 This is quite a strong scent and doesn't smells as citrusy as you would first think its more vanilla scented with a fruity twist, smells like something I would love to drink on a beach abroad.. a girl can dream can't she ? Yankee Candles Jar Candle (Large) (Vanilla Lime)

The most unique cake designs

So in this post I am going to count down 10 most unique cake designs



Right so a few days ago I made my Fiance a birthday cake in the shape of a dumbbell as he is obbsessed with the gym and bodybuilding which if I do say so myself I dont think looks too bad for me not being a cake maker. But it got me thinking about what unique cake designs there are out there so I am going to count down the top 10. 




1.  Cornsnake Cake

This is such a unique looking cake it looks almost real. 





2. Baby in Pram 

This looks like a lot of hard work will have been put in to make this cake whoever has made it my hat goes off to them it looks amazing.






3. Spaceship?

I am not entirely sure what this is but it looks great. To make all the detail on the spaceship thing would have been quite hard.









4. Teeth

Ok so I am guessing that the person this cake was for is a dentist. Its so unique I have never seen a cake like this before.







5. Muscle Body 

I think this looks amazing the detail that been put in to make it look like the outline of every muscle. The shine and colour actually looks like skin too. 




6. McDonalds

This looks mint, I cant believe someone has managed to make this look so much like a mcdonalds meal even down to the little ketchup at the front!




7. Cutting up a mermaid

So this cake is of a chef cutting up a mermaid the design is amazing, the look on the chefs face is so funny too. 





8. Beautiful Ballerina

This cake would be perfect for a young girl the design is so beautiful I love the detailing on the bodice.











9. Turtle

So my evil ex boyfriend used to say I look like one of these, however the design on this is great would be good for a children's birthday party.




10. Ducks in the bath


Aww this design is so cute, I love it the little water droplets on the floor and the detailing of the tiles is great. 




Well I hope you have enjoyed reading this if theres any cake designs that you think are unique please send me them and I will make sure I post them. Any questions email me connieblog92@gmail.com.

Thanks!

The 3 best and 3 worst smelling yankee candles

Hey, today I am going to tell you my 3 best smelling yankee candles and the 3 worst in my opinion.


The 3 best candles

Vanilla Satin

Now this absolute divine smelling candle is my all time favourite, it has been discontinued however you can still buy it in certain shops and online. The gorgeous smell of vanilla with a edge that I cannot describe its just so crisp and beautiful its a smell I never get sick of. Yankee Candles Jar Candle (Medium) (Vanilla Satin)  





First Kiss

So I got this off my Fiance for our engagement and what a good choice he made sweet, fruity and really smells as innocent as your first kiss. Although its quite fruity with a hint of spice its not overboard on the strength of the smell I think it is just right. Great summer scent however is lovely enough to enjoy all year round. Yankee Candle First Kiss 22oz Large Jar - 'Summer Love' Limited Edition!











Sweet Strawberry

Again I got this as present off my lovely Fiance (lucky girl getting all these yankee candles!), well there isnt much to say as the name pretty much is a good indicator to what this smells like. It is one of those scents that I think that would suit a lot of people not just people who like sweet smells. It smells very fresh and smells like beautiful ripened strawberries in a jar. Sweet Strawberry Large Jar - Yankee Candle  






The 3 worst candles



Strawberry Buttercream

Well to start of with this one it takes the smell of sweet to the extreme I am a great lover of sweet smells as you can probably tell by the choice of candles. However this is enough to make your stomach turn at the smell of it. I definitely could not burn this candle for a long period of time if at all.  It would be great for people who love sweet sickly smells however for me this is just a tad too much. Yankee Candle - Strawberry Buttercream - Large Jar  













Fireside Treats


This is one of yankee candles newcomers, by looking at the packaging and the name I thought that I would love the smell of this candle so I bought a sampler. It smells nothing like marshmellows that have been roasted over a fire in the slightest. It had sort of a aniseed scent to it not what I was expecting at all. Yankee Candle Fireside Treats Large Jar (New for 2013)  







Lilac Blossoms


Ok so i first came across this scent when I bought a pack of air freshners for my car and they had this in, safe to say it was out quicker than me pulling off the drive. My parents think it smells nice (they are outdoorsy like gardening and walking mountains and weekends away in the country). Personally I never disliked a scent as much as I dislike this one it just smells pretty much like grass not like flowers at all. It would be a ideal scent for people who enjoy the smell of gardens, flowers and things like that but personally not one for me. Lilac Blossoms Large Jar - Yankee Candle  






I am going to do more blogs on scents for people like fruity smells, sweet smells, fresh smells and so on. If there's any smells you like and would like me to do a blog on it or even if you only want to ask a question please email me on connieblog92@gmail.com

Loccitaine Products

In this blog I am going to give my experiences on using the Loccitaine range of products they are rather pricey so are they really worth the extra money read on and find out. I have added links at the bottom of each product to the Loccitaine website if you wish to browse or purchase any products.

No.1- Cherry Blossom Hand Cream Priced at £8.00 for 30ml.

Well firstly the smell of this is absolutely beautiful so fresh and fragrant it is one of the only scents that I could say would suit people who like sweet and more lighter fresh scents. This is not very thick in consistency so absorbs brilliantly leaving your skin soft and smooth all day. I would definitely recommend. (I have a full range of cherry blossom products in my bathroom I wouldn't be without it).








No.2- Bonne Mere Soaps priced at £4.50 for 100g

These brilliant little soaps last a long time which is especially good with the price, they lather up straight away leaving your skin feeling soft and clean. They come in 6 different scents (Milk, Honey, Linden, Lavender, Rose and Verbena). My personal favourites are milk and verbena as they both smell very fresh and can suit both men and women. 



No.3- Angelica UV Shield Priced at £36.00 for 30ml

This is a product I found personally did not work very well for me at all, another let down is the price as it is quite high for not very much product. This is quite oily and as someone who already has quite oily skin just made the problem worse as well as causing break out of spots. For people who have quite dry skin this would be a good product however I don't think it would suit everyone and I definitely do not think it is worth the price. 




No.4- Verbena Bodywash £13.00 for 250ml.

This is a product I always have high praise for this is so fresh and clean and can be used for both men and women. To make it even better they have now extended their range to include mint verbena and citrus verbena I have smelt both and they all smell as amazing. Again as I have mentioned Loccitaine prices are quite expensive for some products and this although is £13.00 you only have to use a tiny bit and it foams up brilliantly meaning you get plenty of washes out of it. I have never seen any body washes foam up as good as Loccitaine bodywashes do.



No.5- Shea Butter Hand Cream £8.00 for 30ml(Can be bought in bigger tubes)

This product as like the Angelica UV shield is a one I would not recommend, it can be praised for the amount of shea butter that they have got in it however I think it leaves a greasy layer on your skin which takes a quite a long time to absorb I have found after using this that I have wanted to wash my hands to get rid of it as i cannot stand the feeling of it. This product may work for some people however personally I was not impressed at all with it.
