Thanks to LoveMelisaMichelle, on YouTube, I have found a new website, shoplately.com, for incredible and reasonably priced jewelry among other fun girly stuff!

Falling With Yankee Candle

October 30, 2013.Reading time 2 minutes.

Fall would not be complete without a little Yankee Candle. And that’s just a fact.

It’s the one wick Tumbler […]

You may have noticed I have a few different wordpress accounts. And you may have noticed I reblog from them time to time, such as Abscents, dedicated to my candle making (I wanted to try to keep it a separate blog if I ever wanted to make it more professional looking). So if you ever […]
