April Book of the Month

April 20, 2013.Reading time 2 minutes.

The last time I went to a library and actually checked out a book was probably when I was in High School…and I almost always got a late fee. The books seemed to successfully hide themselves in corners of my room to be long forgotten when they were due to go back home to the […]

Meet my new favorite tea – Moroccan Mint! A co-worker of mine introduced this to me and I fell in love. This is similar to a tea she had while in Egypt, as this tea leaf is found in North Africa. There, it’s known as the “nana mint”. My co-worker swears by this tea that […]

Imagine Dragons – Radioactive I finally have this on my iPod and it’s definitely been on repeat! Bruno Mars – When I Was Your Man This one, I hear on the radio all the time. It’s insanely catchy and one of the saddest pop songs I’ve heard in a while.

Originally posted on Abscents:
Similar to tarts, you can break off a cube or two and put this in your melter or warmer. Some people prefer to melt their wax rather than burn it, especially in electric warmers, as you can turn it on and not worry about an open flame. Abscents has clamshells available…

March Book of the Month

March 13, 2013.Reading time 3 minutes.

We’re almost midway through the month and I just finished my February book of the month this past Sunday! Oopsies! Even though it was a quick read and I finished the majority of it in two days, my schedule at the end of the month allowed little focus time on my book. It was a […]

Okay, it’s time to check in! I was on a roll for a little while, even attempting writing everyday but got way behind. Over the last few weeks it’s seems as though I’ve gotten busier with my candles, which is great! After Valentine’s Day, I had to prep for a little “smelling party’ at my […]

This time of year always makes me remember the precious beginnings of our relationship. {A […]

Last Saturday, my in laws invited us out to a local winery for wine tasting. Lucky us, they were also offering wine tasting paired with chocolate! I’m not one who usually drinks wine, but this was fun nonetheless and extra yummy. We spent hours there, drinking wine with great conversations. The winery sits near an […]
