Absolutely loving ...

... this high Fragrance Low Price candle. Hands up if you have been disappointed many times before with candles which smells nice, but don't smell strong enough and which end up being more of a decorative lighting rather a room fragrance. Is the price of a candle relative to its fragrance strength? How much do you need to spend to have a decently fragranced candle? I don't know but I'm dying to show you a candle I’ve found ... from Sainsbury's from all places.



Sainsbury's doesn't call it a candle. For them, it's a 'spa wax filled jar' but for me it's a candle which finally smells strong enough and which I don't need to burn for hours on end to leave the room with fragrance.


Obviously, the coconut nutty that I am had to to get the coconut one.
The best thing about it is its price. It retails at £5, but at the moment, the whole range is at half price.

I am so crazy about coconut that I am a bit narrow minded and can't even imagine why anyone wouldn't like coconut. But fear not, if you wanted to make the most of the half price offer and discover the high fragrance range in the process, they also do it in mango and in dark vanilla.

I don't think that a screw lid top jar makes the candle look very luxurious and next time, I'll probably buy a pillar one but I must admit that the jar one is very handy to tuck away when the candle is not in use. I am in love Red heart

p.s oh and if you’re a fan of tea lights, they have the ‘waterlily’ candle holder also on offer at the moment and you can get it for just a quid! This would make a great Christmas stocker. What? You gotta buy things when you see them :)

Bargain Time: Dirty Works at 55% off and new coconut range

Do you know the beauty and skincare range from Dirty Works? I believe the brand has been selling exclusively at Sainsbury's for a while but I am going to confess that I am pretty new to it. I blame my 'addiction' to Superdrug and Boots. Usually when I go to Sainsbury's, it is the last boring step in my housy things shopping, and I have already spent a mini fortune at Superdrug and Boots.

If you're new to the brand, like me, well, there's never been a better time to discover it. The range is huge, and many items have been discounted up to 55% (valid throughout June) I am a little bit obsessed with exfoliating at the moment, so forgive me if my wishlist contains mainly body scrubs!

If you're travelling (I am, I am! I am going to a week end abroad next week end, and the last time I took the plane was 2009!) the miniatures travel set is also at 55% off.

And as if this was not exciting enough, Dirty Works has released a range for the summer based on probably one of my favourite scents of all time: coconut. The range is called Coconut Caress and is a 3 step routine with a body wash, body scrub and a body butter.
