I always have the wax burner (from Yankee Candle) hot and ready because my boyfriend’s dogs can be rather stinky. I keep it in the den so that guests (and us!) are smacked with a hint of aroma upon entry. I LOVE anything that smells good cause it instantly makes me feel soothed or relaxed. The Yankee Candle brand of wax doesn’t seem to smell up the house as much as the ones from Walmart! I was surprised that the ones from Walmart drift all the way up into the upstairs bedroom!! BUT, this post is about the wax I got off the interweb…

These wax melts  are from Etsy made by Chris Ian Candles. I will say that they smell absolutely wonderful! They DON’T drift all the way upstairs like the Walmart wax, but that is probably because these are made out of soy and not all the synthetic properties that fill up the Walmart ones. I like these 100% soy meltees because they come in really unique scents like pink sugar/cotton candy and coffee!! And it is also nice that they are better to breathe in than the wax that includes so many chemicals.

With all the brands I have tried, I have come to the realization that the wax seems to last forever. I guess that the smell fades away with each use, but I’ve been using some of the wax for over a year now and it still has held a scent. Maybe it depends on what kind of burner you have, like, how hot it gets. IDK!

Review: Yeti Rambler Tumbler

I like how clients know that pink is my color! On my birthday one of my clients got me a set of pink clippers that have pink guards, and that is what I use at work now for men hair cuts! One of my loyal clients at my old job got me this nice coffee cup right before I left. I didn’t even know they made pink ones, but I had been eyeing the silver ones for a while. It’s great for coffee and keeps your drink at the right temperature for you. The only downside is that you can’t wash it in the dish washer.

Outfit of the Day: Pastel Skater Dress

I’m not sure what you call this kind of dress, but to me it looks like an ice skating outfit. I ordered it online from Amazon and was happy that it fits perfectly. It has the option of wearing it without the spaghetti straps as well. I wore this out to eat on Valentine’s day this year! The waitress said I look like a little doll because of my look. Lol.

It’s a polyester blend and I had to iron it cause it has the tendency to wrinkle up. The pleats on the skirt remind me of Marilyn Monroe (I’m not even a big fan of her) or a cheer leader. It is a very feminine dress and it is my favorite. However, I don’t think it would look as dainty on somebody who’s a bit busty! It stayed in place though, didn’t flash anyone, but I had to be very careful the skirt didn’t blow up and out cause it is super short. The color IRL, is more mint green, it looks almost aqua on here.

 

I think I had on the Jeffree Star lip color Doll Parts.

It’s a fuzzy pic, but I liked it the best!!

Review: Scentsy Diffuser

This was the best gift I have received in forever!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s pretty simple, just add water and essential oils and then relax. For example, if you’re expecting company or want to get rid of dog smell Try a fresh, clean scent like lemon, grapefruit, and bergamot!

This is the only diffuser I could find that has a lifetime guarantee. I knew that would be important for me, cause I knew I would use out a ton. It’s super easy to use, only two buttons and I had it set up within minutes. There’s 17 different LED light colors to pick from, and two different (low or high)settings for the actual oils to be dispersed into the room. So on low it runs 8 hours usually, on high, four. It will last longer if you add more water too though.

If you are new to essential oils, you might not understand that they can change your mood and the atmosphere of your house in a few seconds. My boyfriend and I keep it in the bedroom upstairs, but the aroma spreads to the bathroom and other rooms upstairs. And depending on the scents you choose, you can smell it days after you diffuse them.

There is a really cool vendor on Etsy that you need to check out. Check her out under Atomic Lace by Laura Michele!! All her stuff is really neat. From patches to faux gauge earrings.

I am a huge fan of bubble tea in real life, so why not have it around my neck as well?! It’s so cute, and it is winking!!! I love these laser cut pieces of jewelry because of the thickness and shininess of the centerpiece.

Candle: Strawberry Lemon Ice

It is kinda funny I snapped a pic of this candle on snow because the scent is so summer-ish. That is the perfect scent for this time of year though, because you can shut your eyes and pretend it’s warm and pleasant instead of horribly cold and numbing.

This is one of my fave. at the moment. It fills up the whole house and stays in the air well after it is blown out. It has a good mixture of lemon and strawberry. It isn’t too sickeningly sweet smelling, which I have dealt with with past Yankee Candles. I know it’s probably full of chemicals, but it’s a really refreshing scent that smells like real fruit.

New: Pyro Pet Reindeer

This was one of the main things I asked for this Christmas season. I have seen these online the past few years, and because of my love for candles, I figured it is a hot item for me! So finally.. I have my paw on the Pyro Pet..

Meet Dyri, the lovable geometric deer candle. You may be asking yourself.. “but why hasn’t he a face?” Well, he is so plain because people like myself purchase these cute wax statues to watch them burn. Quite literally, once he melts down for 24 hours, he will be a gnarly goldish metal skeleton!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait. Once I get him melted down, I will snap a photo and write a post. 🙂 Stay tuned. Not only do I have a blue one, I also have a white one at my bf’s house. I am curious to see if they will look the same underneath. Muahahhaha. If they are cool enough, I plan to keep them around as decor!

Outfit of the Day: Fur Vest and Wrap Choker

I am still really digging this outfit because it’s just oh so sleek. Sometimes by the time I get around to posting about certain garments, I am plumb sick of seeing them. Lol. I wore this out to dinner on my birthday to a Japanese steak house. They asked me to do a chicken dance in order to receive a piece of cake.. which I obliged. Luckily, I am not easily embarrassed… Haha!!

This outfit is appealing for anybody  because of the vertical striping, the long line of the boot, and the elongated choker necklace strings help to draw the eye up and down as well. The vest is irreversible btw!

Vest and leggings are Victoria’s Secret PINK, oxford is Victoria’s Secret, and so is the long gray tank. Boots from Wish. Wrap necklace was a gift. Jeffree Star lips in Androgyny.

I have been meaning to check out Mr. Star’s lipsticks for a couple years. I have been a fan of his since the Myspace days and before he was really that famous at all. Finally, for my birthday this year I got some goodies to try out. I received one lipstick in the shade Beauty Pageant, and four velour liquid lipsticks in the following shades: Androgyny, Leo, Prom Night, Doll Parts, and Queen Supreme.

I haven’t been using them for too long, but I will make sure to write up a nice little review shortly! I am wearing Queen Supreme above, which is my fave. at the moment.

I love cuteness. Anything adorable.. consider my name on it. I love garters and knee socks because they are so cute and fun to wear. In the first photo I am wearing some new baby pink leather garters with small metal spikes and hearts in the center. I purchased them from Wish.com and they are perf. (So far I have gotten several things from Wish and it’s all been exactly what I wanted and good quality) I have wanted them for years because I always see them when I am looking at fashion online.I know that some people wear them with shorts, but I wore mine under a skirt and with stockings.

The knee socks were given to me as a gift, and they are just a throwback to sports socks. Honestly they make me think of athletic wear of the 80’s because I used to watch Three’s Company and I am pretty sure Janet had some like this. If not, I am thinking of something else from that era. Regardless, they are very sportswear chic. I wore these out with a tunic, chucks, and a baseball hat to give it that grunge, careless vibe.
