I've been feeling a little down in the dumps lately, uninspired and unmotivated.
Sometimes lots of tiny little things just chip away at you and you feel stressed out?
Well that has pretty much been my week, don't worry I'm not looking for sympathy 
but rather wanted to share what I have been using to perk me up and help me chill out!
When I have been getting stressed out I seem to curl up in bed turn everything off - i.e phone, laptop
and stick on a good old chick flick or my trusty Friends box set (best £50 I ever spent haha),
that and burning the most divine relaxing and room warming candle in my collection!


The Blend Collective Sensory Hand Poured Candle is packaged with a modern yet elegant twist,
the chic black and white colour scheme of the design means it shouldn't class with any interior
and should suit the majority of tastes, I love black and white designs...timeless!
The candle itself is large but not so much that it is overwhelming and a hassle to move around the house
should you wish - I know some of you enjoy a good soak in the tub with a candle or five!
The candle inside the glass jar is made entirely of 100% Natural Soy Wax and no synthetic fragrance.


Let's be honest when choosing a scented candle the one thing that sells it to us all is of course the fragrance.
The Blend Collective Sensory candle is a blend of Sandalwood, Frakincense, Cedarwood and Neroli
all of which are 100% Natural Essential oils which are animal friendly too
and the fragrance belongs to Unwinding range of Blend Collective.
The scent is deeply relaxing and sultry, it is so calming and reminds me of exotic places such as Turkey!
I know it is an odd comparison but when I burn this all I can think of is the beautiful spas 
I visited when on holiday  in Turkey a few years back.
To me this scent is the height of indulgence and it makes me feel 100% better after a rubbish day.
The great thing about this scent is that it fills the house with an exotic scent without being overpowering!

Are candles something you rely on as a pick me up?
