Nails: Spring Pastels



As of this weekend, spring has officially sprung (although it would appear nobody told the weather man) so I've been searching through my nail polish collection for some pretty pastels and these are the best of the bunch.

Huckleberry is a firm favourite as is Strawberry Milkshake but I'm still in the market for a pastel yellow and a powder blue to make my collection complete so watch this space for a nail polish haul.

What's you're favourite spring polish?

Bunny Cake | Yankee Candle


Bunny Cake is back! Since I've been buying Yankee Candles they've released their 'Limited Edition' Bunny Cake candle every year as part of their Easter range. I'm not convinced it is actually limited edition, I think the words 'only available in spring' would be more apt. But hey, who am I to criticise?! 

The sweet scent has a strong vanilla smell but not the sickly kind reminiscent of car air fresheners no no, it's the kind of smell that fills your kitchen when a vanilla sponge cake is in the oven. It has a burn time of over 100 hours and the scent now I'm half way through the jar is just as strong as when I first burnt it.

 My main gripe with the large jars is that they're only one wick so some of the wax gets wasted, staying at the side of the jars. I find it happens more in the last half of the jar but I've seen a technique on pinterest that allows you to remove the leftover wax and use it as you would a wax tart so it might be worth a try.

 Bunny Cake large jar is available for £19.99 from yankeecandle.co.uk

 What's been your fragrance of choice lately?

Birthday Wishlist

Next Sunday I turn the grand old age of twenty five. Quite honestly I don't know how this happened. One day I was seventeen just kicking about with my friends going about my own business and in what seems like no time at all I'm suddenly about to hit my mid-20s. I think my miss-match wish list speaks volumes of my 'I don't want to grow up yet' attitude.


I don't actually expect to receive any of these things as gifts, I much prefer surprises so rarely tell people what I want. If I was buying my own gifts these are what I'd be purchasing and maybe a small record player a a new pair of white jeans too.

What are you lusting after at the minute?
