Ever since I was little, my first choice for a donut was always the Hawaiian. It was the one with icing and round rainbow sprinkles on top. Even if the sprinkles got stuck in between my teeth, I still loved it.

Hmm…I definitely had a thing for rainbows as a kid because I went for the Super Kid ice-cream flavour whenever we went to Baskin Robbins. (Usually we went to Dairy Queen, though.) And Rainbow Brite was one of my favourite cartoons.

My dad and brother would try different kinds of donuts. But my mom would always pick the Cruller, which, even to this day, I consider to be a classy choice.

The only time I got a sugared donut was when all my top picks were sold out. Even so, when I found out about the Slatkin & Co. Cinnamon Sugared Donut Candle, I had to try it.

I’m a sucker for bakery-scented candles. If it makes me think that the wax could be edible, I’m so there!

The Slatkin & Co. Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Candle from Bath & Body Works smells so yummy, you may have to remind yourself not to check the oven.

It’s exactly how you imagine this to smell, and it’s wonderful!

If Slatkin & Co. continue making bakery scents (which I’m sure they will), I’m going to be in a lot of trouble! 😛 (But I like trouble when it’s scented or in River City, Music Man!) Continue reading →

When it comes to candles that smell edible, I’m a sucker. So it should come as no surprise that I bought the Slatkin & Co. Apple Crumble Candle from Bath & Body Works.

Since we’re approaching fall, I’m craving apple, pumpkin, and spicy scents.

The Apple Crumble scented Slatkin & Co. candle fits the bill nicely when it comes to an apple scent that isn’t too strong or tart.

I’ve only ever had an apple crumble a few times, so I can’t say how dead-on the fragrance is. What I will say is that it is all kinds of delicious! Continue reading →

Do you like drinking coffee? Or are you like me? I don’t like drinking coffee unless it’s super sweet and has lots of caramel in it. But I love the way it smells! And in the fall when pumpkin flavours come out, all bets are off!

Even though it’s summer (and I love summer), I’m craving the fall. That’s when the best beauty products and fashion make their grand entrance. It’s also when the yummiest pumpkin products hit the supermarket, too. Like that old song by Nu Shooz says, “I can’t wait!”

When I went into the Bath & Body Works store recently, I had to grab the Slatkin & Co. Pumpkin Caramel Latte Candle because it sounded (and smelled) divine. It was also nice how there was a 2 for $30 CAD sale going on.

I really like this super-sweet caramel fragrance – makes my sweet tooth go buck wild! Continue reading →

Initially I went into Bath & Body Works to pick up the large 3-wick S’mores candle since I already tested out the mini version of it and liked it. But then I got sidetracked and forgot about my main purpose. What else is new?

There it was, beckoning to me with a sweetness that I couldn’t resist! Slatkin & Co. Marshmallow Fireside seemed like a scent that was right up my alley.

After I eagerly popped the top off this baby, I took a whiff of this new fall scent. My nose was greeted with a soft marshmallow scent.

Did I want to marry it? Did I use it as a paperweight? There’s only one way to find out! Continue reading →

Okay, so I was on a nail-art roll for my last few consecutive posts. Thought that I’d change it up just a little, but keep the food theme going. (I really must be hungry! Hehe…)

Anything with the word s’mores in it immediately gets my attention. C’mon…who doesn’t like yummy marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers? It reminds me of all those happy nights by the campfire – great summer memories when I was growing up!

It also reminds me of the time not long ago when I tried to make s’mores using my stove. Let’s just say that it didn’t exactly turn out right. There’s something about holding your marshmallows on a twig over a roaring campside fire that makes it taste delicious.

So when I saw the new Slatkin & Co. S’mores Candle, I was all over it like the hungry beauty wolf that I am. Clearly, gourmand fragrances excite this blogger’s snout.

Since the Bath & Body Works s’mores candle is so new, I could only get my hands on the trial-size, which is a mere 45 g (1.6 oz.)! But that’s okay because unlike the incident I had with the Slatkin & Co. Cotton Candy Candle, at least this time I could test it without having to invest a lot if I didn’t like it.

Did the s’mores scented candle flop, or did it make me flip for joy? There’s only one way to find out! Continue reading →
