Bath & Body Works Candle Haul

For my birthday, I received a $40 gift card to Bath & Body Works. I had been waiting for a good sale to come on before I purchased anything. Lo and behold,  they had a number of promotions going on! They had buy 3 get 3 free for items from their signature collections, buy one get one free on their 3-wick candles, and buy 2 mason candles for $22.

You'll notice that I only focused on the candle sales... I figured I've hauled enough body products from The Body Shop to last me for the next couple of months. *fingers crossed*

Green Apple Orchard

This has to be the main reason I wanted to buy candles with my gift card. My sister got this candle in the mason jar for free when she went shopping last month and since then I have been OBSESSED with this scent. So obsessed that I bought 2 of them in both sizes. It really does smell like apples with an extra something to it (duh). Maybe it's the orchard part? I'm not sure, but this scent and another have easily become my top favourite candle scents! I would definitely recommend this one if you like the fruitier scents.

Cranberry Woods

New favourite alert! I can't even begin to describe to you how good this candle smells! It's honestly fruity fall perfection... It's a sweeter scent, which I like, but it has this slight darker dimension to it. In a way, the "woods" part is preventing the scent from being overly sweet. 

I actually have an embarrassing memory attached to this candle. The first time I lit it was on Halloween night. I had a couple of friends over to watch movies while I handed out candy. As we were in the middle of watching The Fault in Our Stars, I decided to blow out the candle as it had been burning for a decent amount of time. After a few of minutes, I went to take another sniff from what I thought had been a solid candle. After I put the candle back down and enjoyed the movie for a couple of minutes, I look down to my sweatpants to find dried pink wax splattered all over my right thigh. I ran to the kitchen to try and get it off. As I was scraping off the wax, I look down to my sweatshirt and noticed more pink wax... At this point, I began to laugh at myself. How ridiculous is this?! I think some of the wax spilt onto the back of my neck as well and I didn't feel any of it when it first made contact with my skin. My friends had no idea what had happened or that I even left the room until they heard my giggles from the kitchen. 

And to top it off, my friend took a picture of me in my waxy state and posted it in her story on Snapchat. In the caption she may have given the impression that the pink was puke when it was in fact wax. I have good friends, I know...

Long story short, make sure a candle is fully solid before picking it up to sniff its addicting aroma. Learn from my mistakes...

Wasabi Apple

This candle was a last minute decision as I needed to have 2 mason jars to take advantage of the sale. It appears I might have a thing for apples? Again, this candle is quite fruity, but the wasabi gives it a different dimension. Almost like a more sophisticated version of the Green Apple Orchard candle. I still haven't lit this one yet but I'm super excited to find out how it smells. 

Pumpkin Apple

I actually got this candle for free as I think they had a coupon where if you spend a certain amount of money you get a free item. I'm so glad I picked this up! This smells so good! It definitely reminds me smells more fall than the Wasabi Apple and Green Apple Orchard scents but I have to say it probably smells a bit sweeter than the Cranberry Woods scent.

Again, do we see the apple theme going on right now? How did I not notice this while I was in the store...

Overall, I would highly recommend getting any of the candles mentioned above! They all smell awesome and help warm up the house as it is starting to get colder out. (We finally have snow on the ground!) 

What's your favourite Bath and Body Works candle?
