Candle of the week

This week, I have been loving my 'Honey & Spice' Yankee Candle. Yankee Candle is probably my favourite brand and is where I buy the majority of my candles. However, this particular candle was a gift from my birthday a few months ago.

This candle is described as 'Golden nectar and sugar cane mingled with cinnamon stick and cocoa to create this gourmand concoction'. The scent is subtle but perfect for these colder days. I think it is great for days when you don't want anything too overpowering but just enough to give your room that cosy fresh smell.

Definitely my most used candle over the past week, but I think it's time to move onto my next scent.

Winter hot chocolate

One of my favourite things about winter is the hot drinks, especially hot chocolate.

As a fan of winter spices, I decided to try and incorporate them into some foods or in this case, drinks. To make this drink you just make a normal hot chocolate, but add a couple of teaspoons of cinnamon. In my opinion, this is just heavenly. It tastes so festive and is great for when you just want to snuggle up with a good book. 

This is a very short entry but I just felt the need to share my love for this drink. 

For another festive hot chocolate idea , perhaps try to incorporate some ginger.

Thanks for reading,
